(TSXV: TMET) (\"Torr\" or the \"Company\"), Torr Metals has successfully completed field reconnaissance over high-priority copper-gold targets at the Bertha and Sonic zones in south-central British Columbia, within the broader Bertha and Kolos Project areas, hereafter collectively referred to as the Kolos Copper-Gold Project (Figure 1, Figure 2). This initial groundwork, which included alteration mapping and the collection of 12 rock grab samples from outcrop, was instrumental in guiding the orientation and targeting of an imminent induced polarization (IP) geophysical survey. In addition to refining targets for the survey, the reconnaissance also identified new areas of geological interest that warrant near-term follow-up. Having secured funding, the Company is now poised to generate near-term value through exploration ahead of a maiden discovery-focused drill program.At Bertha, fieldwork confirmed structurally controlled supergene copper (Cu) mineralization composed primarily of chalcocite, where historical rock grab samples have returned up to 8.48% Cu in outcrop. The upcoming IP survey will be the first to test for subsurface extensions of this undrilled zone, which shares key structural and mineralogical features with the upper supergene zone of the high-grade New Afton copper-gold deposit, located just 28 kilometres to the north-northeast.Figure 1.
