(TSXV: NED), (the \"Company\" or \"NED\") provides a further update on its 2024 exploration program at the Treasure Mountain project, near Princeton, BC. Figure 1.

All the holes have been drilled in the Railroad area of copper-silver mineralization. Figure 2.

The magnetic high anomaly measures about 1km in diameters and is interpreted to be caused by an intrusion at depth. The target is a possible mineralized porphyry intrusive that could be the feeder to the Railroad copper zone (Figure 1). A mineralized zone was intersected from 19.33 to 26.93 (7.6 meters) characterized by disseminated, veinlet and breccia hosted chalcopyrite and pyrite (1-2% each). The mineralized zone lies adjacent to a 7.3 m interval of altered porphyry dike. The hole was drilled to a total depth of 429.3 meters and intersected multiple altered felsic porphyry dikes. A total of 24 intervals or 70.6 meters length (16% of the hole) consisted of altered felsic porphyry. The results confirm the presence of porphyry intrusive related to the magnetic anomaly.Hole 6 also drilled beneath a copper soil anomaly that extends to the limit of a 2015 soil survey and includes values up to 730 ppm (Figure 2).Hole 7 is being targeted at another area of anomalous copper in soils (values to 112 ppm copper) located southeast of the Railroad adits (Figure 2). In 2019, an attempt to trench this area was unsuccessful due to swampy ground, so the anomaly remained untested...
