(“\n \n Torr”\n \n or the \"\n \n\n Company\n \n\n \") (TSX-V: TMET.V) is pleased to announce the signing of an option agreement (the\n \n “Option Agreement”\n \n ), subject to TSX Venture Exchange (\n \n “TSXV”\n \n ) approval, to acquire 100% of the 57 km² Bertha Property (\n \n “Bertha”\n \n ); contiguous to the northern portion of the Kolos Project (the\n \n “Project”\n \n ). In addition, Torr has expanded its land position through strategic claim staking of 35 km² of highly prospective ground surrounding Bertha, bringing the newly acquired area under 100% Torr ownership with no underlying royalties (Figure 1).\n \n\n The Bertha Property hosts nine significant copper and gold occurrences along an epithermal and porphyry trend extending northwest from Torr’s newly defined Sonic Zone (\n \n see January 14, 2025 news release\n \n ). Despite its strong copper (Cu) and gold (Au) potential, the Bertha area has remained largely underexplored, with no systematic regional exploration, having only been consolidated into a single property in late 2024. Through this acquisition and claim staking the Kolos Project now covers 332 km² along Highways 5 and 97C, strategically located 24 kilometers (km) east of Canada’s largest open-pit copper mine at Highland Valley and 27 km south of the high-grade New Afton copper-gold mine near Kamloops (Figure 1).\n \n\n\n Highlights:\n \n\n\n\n High-Grade Copper in Outcrop with Drill Permit\n \n\n\n\n A\n \n 7 km² drill-permitted area\n \n covers the Bertha, JHC, and Rhyolite occurrences, where historical rock grab samples have returned\n \n up to 8.48% copper (Cu) in outcrop\n \n , historical reports indicate multiple zones of copper mineralization exposed in trenching over widths up to 7.6 meters (m) covered by only ~465 meters (m) of undocumented historical drilling (Figure 1).\n \n\n\n\n The Bertha, JHC, and Rhyolite occurrences are situated along the margins of a northwest-trending highly magnetic geophysical anomaly, exhibiting a\n \n signature co...
