Commodore Metals Reports Exploration Results on Keefers-Hannah Gold Project Commodore Metals Corp. reported on its exploration program on the Keefers-Hannah gold project located near Boston Bar, B.C., approximately 130 kilometres northeast of Vancouver. The program adheres to the exploration program recommended in the National Instrument 43-101 technical report that the Company filed via SEDAR+, which was designed to further investigate previously discovered anomalous gold values and arsenic geochemistry associated with the main fault structure, referred to as the west structural zone. Pyrite and other sulphides were noted in parts of the dike-like quartz veins associated with the zone. Commodore's exploration also focused on the Hannah East zone, which is anomalous in gold and arsenic with a number of previous assay values ranging from 0.48 gram per tonne to 17.1 grams per tonne gold. This zone can be traced for approximately 150 metres (410 feet) and varies in width from two to five metres. Previous grab samples taken in 2010 assayed up to 8.70 grams per tonne in the quartz-arsenopyrite zone at the main East Hannah zone. In February 2011, a total of five diamond drill holes were completed in the Hannah East zone that exhibited structurally complex folding and intersected several gold zones. The Company has completed an airborne survey which showed several significant magnetic and radiometric anomalies. The airborne results have helped in tracing the Keefers showing, which previously produced a representative sample reported to have assayed 1.42% copper, 2.24% nickel, 0.15% cobalt, 3.77 grams per tonne platinum and 0.79 gram per tonne palladium. Previous stripping on the Hannah East Zone exposed quartz and arsenopyrite veins occurring along narrow shears and along limbs and folded axis of tightly foliated, fine grain siltstones. On surface, the mineralized zone appears to vary in width from 2 to 5 metres with an exposed strike length of approximately 150 metres. The host rock is hydrothermally altered, bleached siltstone and phyllite carrying disseminated to massive lenses of arsenopyrite and quartz. Some fine visible gold was noted in a narrow (two metre) shear occurring in weathered arsenopyrite cavities. Samples collected in 2010 assayed up to 8.70 grams per tonne gold. The genesis for the source of gold found in the East and West Hannah zones is believed to be structurally controlled, epigenetic-mesothermal – sedimentary-hosted orogenic type environment. The post deformation intrusive stock located to the west and adjacent to the structures likely played a role in the remobilization of auriferous-bearing solutions. The assay results for samples from drill hole “Keefers Road,” which is located further south from the Hannah East Zone, suggest that further exploration is warranted to the south and potentially to the northwest. This is further supported by the 2011 drill results from the Hannah East Zone as shown in Holes HC03 and HC04 positioned about 50 meters to the north of HC01 & 2 which both intersected mineralized quartz breccias. HC03 orientated to the east at -53-degree dip intersected the mineralized quartz breccia between 30.71-33.41 meters and carries disseminated sulphides including pyrite, pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite. HC04 drilled to the southeast and at oblique angle to the trend of the Hannah zone, with a dip of -60 degrees, may have intersected the fold hinge. Here, an interval between 35.18-49.57 meters, encountered sections of mineralized quartz breccia carrying disseminated pyrite, pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite. Commodore Metals Corp. conducted the first significant exploration north of the Hannah East Zone in 2024 since the previous program conducted by previous operators in 1983 to 1984 seasons. Prospecting and sampling around drill hole KF-24-01 and approximately 75 m to the north located significant structures and intense alteration along with the location of a very altered granitic intrusion which may be related to the dyke material in drill hole KF-24-01. The alteration material consisted of significant silica and carbonate alteration on the surface of the argillaceous and graphic schist outcrop and appears to emanate from streams flowing along fault zones. This has formed Tufa/Travertine deposits on the host rocks. Although mineralization was subdued, it is noted that drill hole KF-24-01 may have fallen short of penetrating significant N-S trending fault structures to the west. The Tufa/Travertine altered material and the altered granitic outcrop to the north of the drill hole may represent an east-west trending fault zone structure. During the 2024 exploration season, two drill holes were undertaken along with general prospecting and geological mapping. One drill hole, called Keefers Road, was located south of the Hannah East Showing along the access road to Hannah East and the community of Keefers. A small outcrop of dark grey carbonaceous–argillaceous schist with graphitic slips parallel to schistose bedding places and milky white quartz stringers and boudins was observed with minor pyrite/chalcopyrite grains was located along the side of road. Commodore completed a diamond drill program in September 2024 using a hand operated Shaw Drill. Keefers Road Drill Hole was drilled to a depth of 3.66 m (12 ft). The drill was not oriented in a specific direction or dip angle due the fact that the outcrop was small and rounded where exposed. The drill core was sampled in 0.6 m increments. Core recovery was 90%. The drill core samples were logged and split and analyzed at the ALS Laboratory located in North Vancouver BC.
