(TSXV: VML) (OTCQB: VLMGF) (\"Viscount\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce a pivotal early-stage discovery at its Passiflora porphyry target in Silver Cliff, Colorado. The Company's first deep drill hole (PF-03A) intersected 843.9 metres of continuous copper-gold mineralization averaging 0.214% CuEq, including multiple higher-grade zones such as 189 m at 0.326% CuEq and 45 m at 0.417% CuEq. These grades exceed typical early-stage porphyry exploration thresholds (~0.15% CuEq) often seen in the initial drilling of deposits that evolved into world-class, long-life operations, and the target remains open in all directions and at depth.Drill hole PF-03A was designed to test a very strong geophysical anomaly identified by Quantec Geoscience's Titan MT survey in 2023. The survey outlined a strong conductive target beginning at ~400 m and extending to at least 1,500 m depth and over 2km in horizontal distance. Drilling began in mid-January 2025 and concluded March 7, 2025 at a final depth of 1,144 m due to equipment challenges, short of the planned 1,500 m target.The upper 300 metres of core were not assayed, as the Titan MT model indicated the main conductor began around 400 metres. However, visual inspection of the core confirmed strong sulfide mineralization from surface to 300 metres. This zone remains a high-priority target for future sampling and reassessment. The principal objective of the drill hole was to determine whether the geological target was indeed a porphyry system, and not a different type of conductive anomaly. We are thrilled to report that not only did the drilling confirm the presence of a copper-gold porphyry system, but it also revealed consistently anomalous concentrations of copper, molybdenum, zinc, and lead, alongside a significant presence of gold.Viscount CEO Jim MacKenzie stated, \"With grades like this, especially with nearly half the samples above 0.20% CuEq, are a clear signal we're dealing with a significant deposit. The presence of multiple, thick, higher-grade zones-such as 189 m at 0.326% CuEq including...
