Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 16, 2026) - Commodore Metals Corp. (CSE: C) ("Commodore" or the "Company") is pleased to report on its exploration program on the Keefers-Hannah gold project located near Boston Bar, B.C., approximately 130 kilometres northeast of Vancouver.
The program adheres to the exploration program recommended in the National Instrument 43-101 technical report that the Company filed via SEDAR+, which was designed to further investigate previously discovered anomalous gold values and arsenic geochemistry associated with the main fault structure, referred to as the west structural zone. Pyrite and other sulphides were noted in parts of the dike-like quartz veins associated with the zone.
Commodore's exploration also focused on the Hannah East zone, which is anomalous in gold and arsenic with a number of previous assay values ranging from 0.48 gram per tonne to 17.1 grams per tonne gold. This zone can be traced for approximately 150 metres (410 feet) and varies in width from two to five metres. Previous grab samples taken in 2010 assayed up to 8.70 grams per tonne in the quartz-arsenopyrite zone at the main East Hannah zone. In February 2011, a total of five diamond drill holes were completed in the Hannah East zone that exhibited structurally complex folding and intersected several gold zones.
The Company has completed an airborne survey which showed several significant magnetic and radiometric anomalies. The airborne results have helped in tracing the Keefers showing, which previously produced a representative sample reported to have assayed 1.42 per cent copper, 2.24 per cent nickel, 0.15 per cent cobalt, 3.77 grams per tonne platinum and 0.79 gram per tonne palladium.
Previous stripping on the Hannah East Zone exposed quartz and arsenopyrite veins occurring along narrow shears and along limbs and folded axis of tightly foliated, fine grain siltstones. On surface, the mineralized zone appears to vary in width from 2 to 5 metres with an exposed strike length of approximately 150 metres. The host rock is hydrothermally altered, bleached siltstone and phyllite carrying disseminated to massive lenses of arsenopyrite and quartz. Some fine visible gold was noted in a narrow (two metre) shear occurring in weathered arsenopyrite cavities. Samples collected in 2010 assayed up to 8.70 grams per tonne gold.
The genesis for the source of gold found in the East and West Hannah zones is believed to be structurally controlled, epigenetic-mesothermal - sedimentary-hosted orogenic type environment. The post deformation intrusive stock located to the west and adjacent to the structures likely played a role in the remobilization of auriferous-bearing solutions.
