St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador--(Newsfile Corp. - July 6, 2026) - Anteros Metals Inc. (CSE: ANT) ("Anteros" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on exploration activities and corporate developments across its project portfolio, including the Seagull Project in Ontario and the Havens Steady, Knob Lake and Strickland properties in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Current activities include geological modelling and monitoring following completion of the Company's recent drilling program at Seagull, active trenching and channel sampling at the Havens Steady property, and continued evaluation of advancement opportunities at the Knob Lake and Strickland properties.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Diamond drilling completed at the Seagull Critical Minerals Project; interpretation and target refinement underway
-
New PGE assay results received from selected deeper drill core intervals
-
Physical rock property measurements being incorporated into a constrained geophysical inversion model
-
Monitoring continues for pressure recharge and gas accumulation on WM00-05EXT and RM26-01
-
Trenching and channel sampling underway to test the interpreted bedrock source of high-grade copper-gold-silver float at the Havens Steady VMS property
Ongoing evaluation of advancement opportunities at the Strickland VMS property
"Our objective is to continue advancing each project through disciplined technical work while maintaining flexibility across our portfolio," stated Trumbull Fischer, Chief Executive Officer of Anteros Metals. "Completion of drilling at Seagull has shifted our focus toward geological interpretation and target refinement, while trenching at Havens Steady is expected to improve our understanding of a promising new copper-gold-silver target. At Knob Lake and Strickland, we continue evaluating opportunities to advance these assets as part of our broader Newfoundland strategy."
SEAGULL CRITICAL MINERALS PROJECT, ONTARIO
At the Seagull Project ("Seagull"), the Company has demobilized the diamond drill rig with the completion of drill hole WM00-05EXT to a final depth of 1,449m as described in the Company's June 8th news release. The recent drill program has confirmed platinum group element ("PGE") mineralization within the Seagull intrusive complex, in addition to previously reported anomalous hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide gases.
Assay results from selected drill core intervals in WM08-27EXT have been received from ALS Global with sample preparation completed in Thunder Bay and sample analyses in Vancouver. Drill hole WM08-27EXT located at 356994mE and 5432455mN (NAD83Z16) was drilled at a dip of minus 90 degrees with an azimuth of 180 degrees. The drill hole was a continuation of a historical hole that had been stopped at 600m. Drill hole was deepened to 1,200m with basal intrusive contact intersected at 692.9m. The drill hole intersected orthomagmatic sulphide mineralization in the basal cumulate sequence of the Seagull intrusion, returning up to 0.558 g/t combined platinum and palladium (0.254 ppm Pt and 0.304 ppm Pd) over 1.0 metre from 643.0 to 644.0 metres, including 290 ppm copper and 1,655 ppm nickel. The mineralized intersection is true width. Analysis for platinum group elements ("PGE") was completed by ALS Global using PGM-ICP24 (50-gram fire assay with ICP-AES finish) method, and base metals using ME-ICP61 (four-acid digestion with ICP-AES finish). Quality assurance/quality control included inserted standards and blanks, which performed within acceptable limits.
