(TSXV: VML) (OTCQB: VLMGF) (\"Viscount\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report the results of its 2025 multi-phase exploration program at the Passiflora copper-gold porphyry on the Silver Cliff Project in Custer County, Colorado. New MMI soil geochemistry, when integrated with airborne imagery, Quantec MT geophysics, rock sampling, geological mapping and historical drilling, continues to strengthen the interpretation of a large, district-scale porphyry system centered below the Passiflora corridor.The convergence of these independent datasets is providing the strongest technical case to date for a significant gold-copper intrusive center, with vectors now clearly defined for both shallow and deep drill testing in 2026.A Broad, Coherent Copper-Gold Corridor EmergingThe 2025 MMI soil survey outlines a well-defined copper-in-soil trend across the central-western portion of the grid, remaining open to the west and north, and closely aligned with conductivity highs identified in the Quantec MT survey. These high-conductivity MT features are interpreted as indicators of a deep intrusive center, a common signature in large-scale porphyry environments.Overlapping clusters of elevated gold-in-soil values coincide with the copper trend and are characteristic of leakage halos above mineralized porphyry centers. This dual response—copper and gold provides increased understanding in the geometry of the subsurface system.Supporting datasets include:Rock sampling along Ben Hill West, which returned elevated copper and porphyry pathfinder metals directly above the central MT feature.Airborne imagery outlining a broad alteration halo following the same structural corridor.Historical drilling records documenting porphyry-style alteration mineral assemblages.Viscount's deep hole PF-23-03A, which intersected long intervals of copper-gold mineralization interpreted to lie on the periphery of a larger intrusive system.Five shallow holes drilled in 2021, of which four encountered widespread anomalous base metals, silver, go...
