High-Grade Intercept in hole B25-004 includes Visible Gold at 290m; Results Confirm Strengthening Mineralization Down-Plunge
GreenLight Metals Inc. (TSX-V: GRL) is pleased to announce additional high-grade Copper and Gold results from its Phase 1 drilling program at the Bend Project in Wisconsin, further to its September 22, 2025 news release reporting results from holes B25-001 through B25-003. The six-hole diamond drilling program, totaling 2,037 meters, was completed from three sites along two sections entirely on the Company’s leased forty-acre tract of private minerals.
Highlights
Matt Filgate, President & CEO, commented: “The results from Holes 4 and 5 demonstrate increasing grade and thickness as mineralization continues down-dip and strengthens within the deposit core. We are highly encouraged by the presence of high-grade copper and gold-including visible gold at 290 meters-which underscores the project’s growth potential. The results of the Phase 1 drill program have confirmed substantial continuity of high-grade mineralization and established clear vectors for our upcoming 5,000-6,000 meter winter drill campaign.”

DDH | From (m) | To (m) | Interval (m) | Cu (%) | Au (g/t) | Ag (g/t) | Te (g/t) | Cu Eq (%) |
B25-004 | 275.25 | 309.5 | 34.25 | 1.35 | 2.22 | 15.62 | 193.2 | 3.74 |
Including | 276.29 | 298.53 | 22.24 | 2.03 | 3.02 | 23.53 | 283.1 | 5.27 |
Including | 287.9 | 294 | 6.10 | 2.20 | 7.41 | 27.01 | 346.3 | 10.08 |
B25-005 | 285.83 | 305.15 | 19.32 | 0.78 | 2.03 | 10.12 | 153.7 | 2.95 |
Including | 285.83 | 294.62 | 8.79 | 1.64 | 1.93 | 20.31 | 273.5 | 3.74 |
and | 300.00 | 304.00 | 4.00 | 0.10 | 4.19 | 2.03 | 100.7 | 4.52 |
The composite grades of select intervals are calculated on a length-weighted basis and are reported as drilled thicknesses. True thicknesses of the intervals are estimated to be 75-85% of the drilled thickness.
CuEq is reported to express the aggregate in-situ value of copper, gold and silver as a percentage copper grade. CuEq incorporates assumed metallurgical recoveries and is not a proxy for, nor evidence of, economic value. Tellurium (Te) is reported separately and is not included in CuEq.
CuEq (%) = ((Cu grade (%) / 100 * 0.9 (recovery) * 2204.6 * $4.50) + (Au grade (g/t) * 0.9 (recovery) / 31.1035 * $3,600) + (Ag grade (g/t) * 0.9 (recovery) / 31.1035 * $40)) / (2204.6 * 0.01 * $4.50).
Assumptions: metal prices of $4.50/lb Cu, $3,600/oz Au, $40/oz Ag; recoveries of 90% for Cu, Au and Ag based on the Company’s preliminary assessment of analogous VMS deposits. No allowances have been made for smelting/refining charges, penalties or deleterious elements, or payability factors. No metallurgical test work has been completed at Bend; actual recoveries and payabilities are unknown and may differ materially.
Tellurium (Te) overlimit analyses for samples >500 g/t Te are currently pending for 7 samples in B25-004 and B25-005. The grade for these intercepts were calculated using 500 g/t Te for these samples.

About the Bend Project
The Bend VMS Project represents an advanced exploration opportunity. To date, over US$8 million has been invested in the project, including 59 diamond drill holes totaling 23,849 meters. Historical drilling highlights include 67.69 meters grading 1.01% Cu and 0.99 g/t Au, including 27.6 meters at 2.40% Cu and 1.43 g/t Au.
Sample Preparation and QA/QC
Samples from the 2025 Bend drill program followed strict chain of custody from collection, through processing and delivery to ALS Global’s laboratory in Twin Falls, Idaho. The drill core was delivered directly from the drill area to GreenLight’s core facility in Medford, WI. The drill core was inspected and sampled by GreenLight’s geologists who insert Certified Reference Materials (“CRMS”) and Blank material into the sampling stream and make up 10% of the total samples submitted to ALS. The drill core at the Bend project is drilled in NQ size (47.6mm) and is bifurcated by an electric masonry saw and placed in sentry sample bags sealed with zip-ties. Samples are shipped by ground directly to ALS via certified cartridge courier in rice bags secured on pallets. Samples are prepared using the ALS method PREP-31y which includes drying (if necessary) in an oven at a maximum temperature of 60°C, fine crushed of the sample to at least 70% passing less than 2mm and rotary split continuously through crushing via a Boyd RSD crusher-splitter. A 250g split sub-samples is then pulverized to 85% passing 75µm. Gold is analyzed by fire assay and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) if a 25g aliquot sample. (ALS Method Au-ICP21), while multi-element chemistry is analyzed by four acid digestion of a 0.25g pulverized sample split with detection by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) for 48 elements (Ag, Al, As, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd. Ce. Co, Cr, Cs, Cu, Fe, Ga, Ge, Hf, In, K, La, Li, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Nb, Ni, P, Pb, Rb, Re, S, Sb, Sc, Se, Sn, Sr, Ta, Te, Th, Ti, Tl, U, V, W,Y, Zn, Zr)(ALS method core ME-MS61). Gold assay method Au-ICP21 has an upper detection limit of 100ppm. Any sample that produced an over-limit gold value from ICP-MS is then sent for a gravimetric finish analysis. Samples that return copper assays greater than 1% Cu, the upper detection limit for ME-MS61 is sent for an “ore grade” analysis, in this case ALS method code Cu-OG46, which is a 0.4g aliquot pulverized sample with an ICP finish and an upper detection limit of 50% Cu.
