North Sky Metals Completes Maiden Drill Program at the Natlan Project, British Columbia; Assays Pending

(TSXV:NSKY) North Sky Metals Corp. announced the completion of its 2026 diamond drill program at the Natlan Project, located in west-central British Columbia, approximately 24 km northeast of New Hazelton. The company drilled 12 diamond drill holes totaling 4,372 metres to test two targets: the Ace porphyry copper-molybdenum target (with associated gold and silver) and the West gold target. At Ace, six holes totaling 2,507 metres were drilled to test a 1.75 km by 0.9 km copper-molybdenum soil anomaly, which also has associated silver and gold values, IP chargeability highs, a ring-shaped magnetic high, and mapped potassic and phyllic alteration. At West, six holes totaling 1,865 metres were drilled to follow up on historical drilling and test approximately 350 metres of a 900-metre-long by 550-metre-wide gold-arsenic soil anomaly with coincident chargeability and resistivity anomalies. The undrilled East target, an approximately 2.5 km long copper-molybdenum-gold-silver trend with a tungsten geochemical anomaly, is fully permitted for its first drill test planned in summer 2027. A total of 2,286 half-core samples and 384 QA/QC samples have been delivered to ALS for gold fire assay and multi-element analysis. Multi-year area-based (MYAB) permits cover follow-up drilling at Natlan to March 2031 and at Ace to March 2030, authorizing up to 100 helicopter-supported drill sites and 115 line-km of IP surveys across Ace, West, and East. High-grade grab samples at Ace have returned up to 2.12% copper, 0.83% molybdenum, 13.3 g/t gold, and 1,800 g/t silver. At the East target, grab samples have returned up to 3.0% copper, 1.25% molybdenum, 21.9 g/t gold, and 224 g/t silver, with tungsten in rock samples up to 0.134% W (1,340 ppm) and in talus fines up to 0.052% W (520 ppm). At West, 2022 grab samples returned gold grades of 10.7, 5.26, 3.38, and 2.95 g/t, and follow-up sampling in 2024 and 2025 returned up to 1.72 g/t gold. North Sky has also completed a helicopter-borne MobileMT electromagnetic and magnetic survey over the entire Natlan Project, with interpretation of the final data underway. The Natlan Project consists of 14 contiguous mineral tenures covering 10,065 hectares, with North Sky owning 100% of the Ace claims and holding an option to earn a 100% interest in the Natlan claims. The project is located within the traditional territory of the Gitxsan Nation, and North Sky maintains ongoing engagement with the Hereditary Chiefs Luutkudziiwus and Yagosip, including regular meetings and helicopter visits. The 2026 program was supported by local and regional businesses, including Raven 37 for field labour and Skookum Daxgyet Services for drill pad construction.
