[{"type":"text","content":" Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 6, 2026) - Oreterra Metals Corp. (TSXV: OTMC) (OTCID: OTMCF) (FSE: D4R0) (WKN: A421RQ) (\"Oreterra\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report that all contractors have been secured for the fully funded, maiden Trek South drill program, which is targeted to get underway in mid-July with two drills. Equity Exploration Consultants Ltd. of Vancouver is managing the program, which will include geological, geophysical, archaeo-environmental, pad building, helicopter, and drilling components carried out from an on-site camp. The Trek South prospect is new to science, having been revealed by ice melt in recent years, and consists of coincident, high-order, large-scale alteration, geochemical and geophysical (induced polarization (IP), magnetotelluric (MT), magnetic) anomalies present within and below more than a square kilometre of exposed bedrock located outboard to the toe of the Trek Glacier, and extending thereunder. It is located in BC's Golden Triangle, adjacent to Teck-Newmont's Galore Creek deposits, presently undergoing pre-feasibility studies, and only two kilometres upslope from partially completed infrastructure including an all-season road and camp. \"Our Trek South field plans have shaped up nicely and the drill start is close,\" said Kevin Keough, Chief Executive Officer. \"It will be an exciting summer as we attempt to deliver a major copper-gold discovery - two metals that are much in demand in a turbulent, fast-evolving world.\" This season's program will follow the recommendations of a NI 43-101 technical report dated January 20, 2026, a copy of which may be found at https://www.oreterra.com/investors and on the Company's issuer profile at www.sedarplus.com. The technical report recommends two initial phases of drilling at Trek South, with widely spaced holes appropriate to the porphyry copper-gold-silver target type and the large scale of the prospect. As shown on Figure 1 below, the Phase 1 Trek South drill program as initially planned will encompass approximately 4,650 metres of drilling in 8 widely spaced angled core holes targeting the prominent magnetic high and coincident IP chargeability high and resistivity low, present below a large area of intense porphyry-style alteration and values of copper, gold and silver in exposed bedrock.
