(“\n \n Torr”\n \n or the \"\n \n\n Company\n \n\n \") (TSX-V: TMET.V) is pleased to announce the\n \n identification of nine highly prospective, east-west trending high-resistivity geophysical anomalies, bounded by highly conductive interpreted shear structures\n \n , at its 100% owned, 261 km² Filion Gold Project in northern Ontario. Defined through a late-2024 ground magnetic and very low frequency (VLF) electromagnetic (EM) survey (“\n \n VLF-EM\n \n survey”), these anomalies establish key interpreted structural and lithological controls on known gold mineralization as well as highlight multiple additional prospective areas.\n \n The largest anomaly spans over 3.3 kilometers (km) in strike length\n \n and corresponds with a high-resistivity signature, indicative of felsic intrusive units and associated alteration. These units are significant as they are typically located adjacent to gold-bearing horizons and help define contact zones and shear structures along their margins that are conducive environments for gold concentration.\n \n\n The largest (>3.3 km) resistivity anomaly, located within the southern portion of the grid (Figure 1), directly hosts the Oscar gold occurrence (Target D),\n \n where historical rock grab samples returned up to 9.1 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au)\n \n within iron formation; while 1.9 km to the west, along the margins of the same anomaly is the shear-hosted Miller East occurrence (Target A),\n \n with reported grades of 91.4 g/t Au over 0.3 meters (m)\n \n in historical channel sampling. The correlation of these gold occurrences with iron formation and apparent bounding conductive shear structures underscores their potential as high-priority drill targets. All prospective zones are easily accessible via logging roads and are located within 6 km of the Trans-Canada Highway 11 and a regional railroad, ensuring excellent infrastructure for continued exploration and development.\n \n\n\n Key Findings and Exploration Insights:\n \n\n\n\n\n Geophysical Surveys Define Vectored High-Potential Targets\n \n : The VLF-EM survey has identified key ...
