NRED Identifies Stronger Untested IP Targets Beyond 1.67% Copper Trench Mineralization at Wilmac

Multiple High-Priority Targets Supported by IP, Potassium Alteration, and Copper-in-Soil Anomalies Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 21, 2026) - NRED Intelligent Mining Inc. (CSE: NRED) (OTCQB: NREDF) ("NRED" or the "Company") is pleased to report results from an integrated review of three-dimensional induced-polarization ("3DIP") data and 2023 trench sampling at the Wilmac Copper-Gold Project ("Wilmac" or the "Project") in British Columbia's Quesnel porphyry belt, approximately 10 kilometres west of Hudbay Minerals Inc.'s producing Copper Mountain Mine. The review identifies multiple untested geophysical targets that are stronger than the IP response associated with surface trench samples grading up to 1.67% copper. Nine selective samples collected in, and around, three previously excavated Wilmac trenches averaged 0.639% copper, including individual values of 1.235% and 1.670% copper. Importantly, these copper-bearing samples occur along the northeastern edge of a broader chargeability system — not over its strongest modeled responses. Several stronger, untested IP targets occur approximately 100 to 300 metres west and southwest of the trenches, with additional targets extending farther southwest. Several are independently supported by potassium enrichment, resistivity, magnetic, and/or copper-in-soil anomalies. This combination provides NRED with specific targets to test whether the known surface copper mineralization may represent the edge of a larger hydrothermal system. "The key result is simple: we found copper at surface, but the strongest geophysical responses are still untested," said Brian Goss, Chief Executive Officer of NRED Intelligent Mining Inc. "The trenches returned copper values up to 1.67%, yet they appear to sit on the edge of the broader IP system. West and southwest of the trenches, we see stronger targets, several supported by potassium alteration, resistivity and copper-in-soil anomalies. These are clear targets that warrant further testing." Copper Mineralization Provides a Local Calibration Point Nine selective samples collected in, and adjacent to, the three Wilmac trenches returned an average of 6,390 ppm copper (0.639% Cu), including individual values of 1.235% and 1.670% Cu. These results confirm high-grade, copper-bearing mineralization at surface. The samples are selective and are not necessarily repres...
