[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BC, Dec. 17, 2025 /CNW/ - NGEx Minerals Ltd. (\"NGEx\", \"NGEx Minerals\" or the \"Company\") (TSX: NGEX) (OTCQX: NGXXF) is pleased to announce drill results from DPDH048 which is the first hole of the Phase 4 program at its 100% owned Lunahuasi high-grade copper-gold-silver project in San Juan, Argentina. This hole successfully extends the Saturn Zone one hundred metres vertically below DPDH046. Highlights: Drillhole DPDH048 intersected 649.00m at 1.64% CuEq, including; 126.55m at 5.09% CuEq from 497.15m, including; 22.85m at 14.26% CuEq from 497.15m, including; 9.10m at 26.99 g/t Au from 508.90m, plus; 49.20m at 5.71% CuEq from 574.50m, including; 2.15m at 46.22 g/t Au from 583.00m. Wojtek Wodzicki, President and CEO, commented, \"Hole 48 is an excellent start to the Phase 4 program and picks up where we left off at the conclusion of the Phase 3 program by continuing to define high-grade copper-gold-silver zones as we successfully expand the deposit. Intersecting the Saturn Zone about 100m below last season's hole 46, this new hole confirms our expectations of the size and continuity of the Saturn Zone including its important high-grade gold and silver component. To date we have drilled over 10,000m during Phase 4 with ten holes completed and eight underway and we look forward to providing regular updates on assay results as we start the new year.\" Phase 4 Progress Following an early start and good drilling productivity, the Phase 4 program is well ahead of schedule. To date, over 10,000m have been drilled with ten holes completed and eight underway. Initial holes have focused on defining and expanding the three named zones and drills will begin to do larger step-outs and test new exploration targets early in the new year. To date, two holes have been drilled into the Jupiter Zone, three into Mars and twelve into Saturn. In addition to the exploration holes, a geotechnical hole is currently being drilled down the centerline of the proposed exploration adit as planning for that project progresses. Additional assay results will be released once assays are received, analyzed, and confirmed by the Company.
