(“\n \n Torr”\n \n or the \"\n \n\n Company\n \n\n \") (TSX-V: TMET.V) is pleased to report results from its recently completed soil sampling survey at the 100%-owned, 261 km² Filion Gold Project in northern Ontario. Of the 1,092 B-horizon soil samples collected in 2024, an initial geochemical analysis identified a subset of 325 samples for gold analysis,\n \n returning grades of up to 1.04 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) in soil within the Oscar Zone\n \n (Figure 1).\n \n This anomaly lies approximately 1.8 km east along-strike of the Miller Zone gold-in-soil anomaly, which was announced in early 2024, with soil samples yielding up to 1.32 g/t Au\n \n . Both anomalies occur along the same first-order structural corridor, where interpreted shearing extends over a total strike length of 5.8 km and remains open in both directions. Additionally,\n \n Torr has identified four concise multi-kilometer gold exploration targets - Keevil, Miller, Arto, and Oscar Zones\n \n (Figure 1) - that exhibit geochemical pathfinders (Figure 2. A-D) and structural controls comparable to the Greenstone orogenic gold deposit, situated on the opposing northern boundary of the Quetico Subprovince ~288 km west along the Trans-Canada Highway (Figure 3).\n \n\n The recently identified Keevil, Miller, Arto, and Oscar geochemical anomalies remain untested by drilling and are easily accessible via logging roads, just 6 km north of the Trans-Canada Highway 11 and a regional railroad, providing excellent infrastructure for ongoing exploration and development.\n \n\n\n Highlights:\n \n\n\n\n Extensive Hydrothermal Alteration & Multi-Element Gold Pathfinders Identified\n \n\n\n\n Strong gold correlation with arsenic (As), tellurium (Te), tungsten (W), bismuth (Bi), and sulfur (S) (Figure 2. A-D) that based on recent field observations is\n \n indicative of a broad sericite-carbonate alteration envelope spanning >300m within the Miller and Oscar target zones.\n \n\n\n\n\n Anomalous pathfinder elements have a comparable scale and geochemical signature to the Greenstone orogenic gold deposit (Toth et al., 2024\n \n 1\n \n ).\n \n\n\n\n Struc...
