(TSXV: XXIX) (OTCQB: QCCUF) (FSE: 5LW0) (\"XXIX\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce two drill results from its 15-hole, 2,100 metre drill program on the Saddle Zone, including 57.3 metres of 0.99% Cu and 0.308 g/t Au from 23.7 metres in hole OPM-25-294, and 0.87% Cu, 0.139 g/t Au over 45.0 metres from 19.5 meters in hole OPM-25-293. The results from the remaining holes will be received by the Company in the coming weeks. Saddle Zone: Underexplored and Potentially MaterialThe Saddle Zone remains the most underexplored area within Opemiska's current open-pit model, as outlined in the January 2024 mineral resource estimate. Due to the complex vein orientations, targeting has been challenging, and much of the zone was previously classified as waste. However, recent results are beginning to demonstrate that this area could, in fact, be materially significant. This current program followed up on a standout intersection of 5.94% CuEq over 11 metres (see news release dated January 6, 2025) and focused on better understanding the structural controls on mineralization in this zone.Location of Saddle Zone Relative to Opemiska Open Pit Model: Figure 1Section View of Saddle Zone Relative to Springer and Perry: Figure 2Section View of OPM-25-294 and OPM-25-293: Figure 3Map of Saddle Zone Drill Holes: Figure 4Halo Study is Expected to Add Contained MetalIn addition, the drilling on Saddle, XXIX has now completed Opemiska's halo study, and XXIX sees an opportunity to enhance the project's overall scale and engineering metrics, particularly through improvements to contained metal and the strip ratio. XXIX's Halo Study refers to a technical and geological analysis aimed at understanding the broader mineralized system that surrounds the known high-grade copper zones at the Opemiska Project. The \"halo\" represents the lower-grade but potentially bulk-mi...
