(TSXV: NED), (the \"Company\" or \"NED\") provides a further update on its 2024 exploration program at the Treasure Mountain project, near Princeton, BC.Figure 2.

All the holes have been drilled in the Railroad area of copper-silver mineralization. Hole 7 (TMN24-07) targeted a soil copper anomaly (values to 112 ppm copper) located southeast of the Railroad adits (Figure 1) that could possibly be an extension of the Railroad copper-silver mineralized zone. Fracture controlled malachite copper mineralization occurs in a road cut near the collar position of this hole.The hole was drilled to a depth of 268.5 meters and intersected multiple intervals of altered felsic porphyry amounting to 21.9 meters or 8% of the core. Alteration consists of pervasive pale green sericite and quartz with pyrite. A quartz vein mineralized with chalcopyrite (copper) and tetrahedrite (silver and antimony-bearing mineral) occurs within one of the altered porphyry intervals at 43.7 meters depth (Figure 2). Analysis using a portable XRF indicates the presence of significant copper (0.34%) and antimony (0.16%). Chalcopyrite mineralization was also observed in the host Zoa Intrusive Complex at 79.13 meters. Near the bottom of the hole, a mineralized altered porphyry dike was intersected, containing disseminated and fracture-controlled pyrite and possible fine-grained chalcopyrite (Figure 3).Figure 1.
