Deep High-Grade Intercepts Confirm Continuity As Metalsource Mining (CSE: MSM) Scales Up Silver Hill Drilling

Drillhole SH26-25 was drilled toward the WSW (Figure 3), and was designed to test the developing structural model of the project while investigating alteration assemblages on trend to the south of Silver Hill, and west of SH26-27. Although no mineralization was anticipated, SH26-25 provided valuable information about alteration intensity in hanging wall stratigraphy above the interpreted deep extension of Silver Hill mineralization. Strong quartz-sericite-pyrite + albite alteration was observed in the hanging wall rocks, stratigraphically above the down plunge projection of SH26-27. These results provide justification for deep exploration below SH26-27 and represent a potential for significant growth opportunity at Silver Hill.

What's Next
Ongoing Step Out Drilling: Metalsource is actively stepping out from the known Silver Hill mineralization, testing its continuation along strike and into previously untested ground.
Preparing for Larger Strike Expansion: Building on the current step out program, Metalsource is planning significantly larger step outs to the north and south designed to test the broader strike potential beyond the currently drilled footprint.
Testing New IP Targets: The second drill provides the capacity to begin testing completely untested priority IP anomalies beyond the historic mine footprint, several of which exhibit geophysical characteristics similar to those associated with Silver Hill proper.
Continued Silver Hill Expansion: Drilling will continue along strike and at depth while new assays, alteration data, structural interpretation and geophysics are incorporated into the evolving geological model to guide subsequent drilling.
Multiple Assays Pending: Results remain outstanding from several completed holes, providing a continued pipeline of technical information as the expanded exploration program advances.
Why This Matters to Investors
SH26-22 and SH26-23 provide additional evidence supporting the continuity of the Silver Hill mineralization at depth, with both holes returning higher grade intervals within broader mineralized horizons. Together with the alteration observed farther south, the results continue to strengthen the Company's geological understanding as drilling expands beyond the historically mined area.
The opportunity now extends well beyond the currently drilled footprint. Metalsource is actively stepping out from the known system and preparing significantly larger step outs to the north and south to test the broader strike potential across largely untested ground.
At the same time, the second drill provides the capacity to begin testing priority IP anomalies beyond Silver Hill proper, several of which exhibit geophysical characteristics similar to the known mineralization but remain completely untested by drilling.
