[{"type":"text","content":" Edmonton, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - May 6, 2026) - Torr Metals Inc. (TSXV: TMET) (\"Torr\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the completion of its 2026 surface geochemical sampling program across the Bertha - Bertha North and Kova target areas, two of four interpreted porphyry centres on the Company's 332 km² Kolos Copper-Gold Project (Figure 1), ~35 km southwest of the city of Kamloops, British Columbia. This work builds on the Company's maiden Phase I drill program (2,733 m), which confirmed a newly identified, large-scale and long-lived hydrothermal native copper system with 68 mineralized intervals and oxidation extending to approximately 580 metres (m) vertical depth, and represents a key step toward advancing and refining targets for the interpreted porphyry source ahead of the fully-funded Phase II drill program. The 2026 program was designed to evaluate lateral and depth extensions of mineralization at Bertha-Bertha North, while providing the first ever systematic coverage of the Kova target (Figure 1). A total of 521 soil samples and 50 rock grab samples were collected, with assays pending. Field Observations Support Advancing Porphyry Source Model: April 2026 field observations have further strengthened the Company's evolving geological and geophysical model, which is focused on vectoring toward a potential porphyry source intrusion first identified in the Company's April 15, 2026 news release. Reconnaissance has confirmed mineralized monzonite and diorite intrusive outcrops at the drill-permitted Bertha North and Kova targets, spatially associated with strong magnetic and resistivity anomalies. These are interpreted as expressions of larger, untested intrusive sources that will be targeted in the Phase II drill program (up to 6,000 m), representing a key advancement from Phase I, where only peripheral dyke phases were encountered. At Bertha North, mineralization coincides with strong magnetic responses, while historical data at Kova indicates a similar association; ongoing high-resolution magnetic surveys are expected to provide a modern dataset critical to resolving the geometry and extent of the underlying intrusive system. Intrusive and surrounding volcanic rocks contain veining with pyrite ± chalcopyrite ± chalcocite ± bornite ± molybdenite mineralization, consistent with porphyry-style system...
