[{"type":"text","content":"Torr Metals Completes Initial Drilling at Bertha, Outlining a Large-Scale Supergene System in Southern British ColumbiaEdmonton, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - December 4, 2025) - Torr Metals Inc. (TSXV: TMET) (\"Torr\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report the completion of demobilization and 2,733 metres (m) of diamond drilling within 8 drill holes at the Bertha Target, within the Company's 332 km² Kolos Copper-Gold Project in south-central British Columbia. Drilling has successfully tested approximately 400 metres of strike-length and nearly 900 metres of down-plunge extent across a moderate-chargeability induced polarization (IP) geophysical anomaly (Figure 1). This anomaly reflects strongly oxidized volcanic and intrusive host rocks, interspersed with shattered picrite, which provides critical local redox boundaries that enhance precipitation of supergene mineralization from copper-bearing fluids.This first-ever drilling program on the Bertha IP chargeability target was designed to evaluate the strike, down-dip, and down-plunge continuity of the supergene system, which is now confirmed to extend with strong structural controls to greater than 580 metres vertical depth (Figure 1). The goal of this first-ever drill program was to evaluate the geological context and assess the potential scale of a supergene system potentially comparable to the nearby New Afton Copper-Gold Mine¹, located approximately 28 kilometres to the north-northeast. At New Afton, supergene mineralization typically extends to depths of 400 to 500 metres in the western portion of the ore body and continues beyond 600 metres depth along major long-lived fault and fracture corridors², with the picrite contact serving as a critical structural-lithological boundary; an important control that is likewise well-defined at the Bertha target (see November 19, 2025 news release).Malcolm Dorsey, President and CEO, commented: \"The completion of 2,733 metres of drilling across eight drill holes at Bertha represents a major milestone for Torr and has significantly strengthened our confidence in the scale and geological setting of this newly recognized supergene system. We have now confirmed more than 400 metres of strike and close to 900 metres of down-plunge continuity of the system along a strongly structurally controlled corridor; an exception...
