[{"type":"text","content":"May 6, 2026 – TheNewswire - Toronto, ON - Total Metals Corp. (“Total Metals” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: TT) (OTCQB: TTTMF) (FSE: O4N) is pleased to announce that it has completed the 25 hole, 8,408 metre drill program on the Company’s 100% owned Electrolode Critical Minerals Property (the “Project”). Program Details This drill program is the culmination of a target identification, field validation and ranking program carried out over the course of a year. This began with an aerial drone magnetic survey as well as the application of leading-edge algorithms for interpretation of airborne VTEM data. These results were further processed by creating 3D Maxwell plates for analyzing the depth and dimensions of the identified VTEM conductors. The next phase followed with “boots-on-the-ground” geological mapping and soil geochemistry. Historical drill logs were re-interpreted and some new sampling and assaying were completed on selected historical core that had been catalogued and stored at the property. These efforts resulted in the identification of several new targets as well as a re-evaluation of the 12 historical critical-metals targets previously discovered. All these results were collated into a coherent litho-structural model whereby 3D targets were created. These were then evaluated and ranked, such that the upper 10% were selected for drill testing. This systematic approach is a proven method for the exploration of VMS deposits under cover in the Archean greenstone belts of Northwestern Ontario. “You can have the best geophysical models in the world, but eventually, you have to turn the drills to prove what's in the ground,\" said Michael Dehn, Executive Chairman of Total Metals Corp. \"Just west of us, Great Bear demonstrated the sheer volume of drilling—over 400 holes and 200,000 meters—required to fully delineate a generational deposit. Our 8,000-meter, 25-hole program at Electrolode is a highly targeted, aggressive first pass that is already giving us the structural roadmap we need. We are thrilled with the execution of this program. This is just the beginning of the Electrolode story, and it points to a much larger, very exciting mineralized system that we are eager to chase with the drill bit.” \"The drill core is currently at the lab being processed, we anticipate reporting the highly anticipated assay results in the comi...
