Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 14, 2026) - Nevada Sunrise Metals Corporation (TSXV: NEV) (OTC Pink: NVSGF) ("Nevada Sunrise" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the completion of an Ionic Leach™ soil survey program at the Fivemile Gold Project ("Fivemile", or the Property"), located within the Battle Mountain-Eureka-Cortez gold trend in Lander County, Nevada.
The Property is located approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) south-southwest of the Cortez Hills mine and 5 miles (8 km) southwest of the Goldrush mine, both operated by Nevada Gold Mines LLC ("NGM"), a joint venture between Barrick Mining Corporation ("Barrick") (61.5%) and Newmont Mining Corporation (38.5%). Fivemile lies 6 miles (10 km) southwest of the Fourmile gold deposit, owned 100% by Barrick (see Figure 1).

"The completion of the initial soil survey program is the first step in determining the presence of gold mineralization at Fivemile," said Warren Stanyer, President and CEO of Nevada Sunrise. "We are pleased that the survey was carried out so quickly and look forward to layering the results with the interpreted geology and geophysical signatures at Fivemile."
About the Ionic Leach™ Soil Survey
Three hundred (300) samples were collected property-wide (see Figure 2) and delivered to ALS Global Laboratories ("ALS") in Reno, NV, for analysis by their proprietary Ionic Leach™ method. Rapid submittal and careful preparation of the sampled material is important, as the Company believes the samples may lose volatile pathfinder elements like mercury and antimony if not handled correctly and analyzed promptly.

Ionic Leach™ soil surveys are known to be effective to detect areas that may be anomalous for gold and other pathfinder elements. Case studies of Ionic Leach™ soil sampling have been successful in mineral exploration for detecting buried mineralization, particularly in challenging environments with cover, as seen at the Pebble copper-gold-molybdenum deposit in Alaska,3 and the Sams Creek Project in New Zealand.4 These case studies show that Ionic Leach™ is effective for identifying "blind" mineralization, even through thick cover, by extracting the mobile, loosely-bound metal ions present in soil and sediment.
