Arizona Tribune - Core Silver Confirms Multi Kilometer High Grade Mineralization Open in All Directions

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / October 9, 2025 / Core Silver Corp. ("Core Silver" or the "Company") (CSE:CC)(FSE:8ZR)(OTCQB:CCOOF) is pleased to provide an update on the 2025 exploration work completed at the Laverdiere Copper Project (the "Project" or "Laverdiere"), eastern Blue Property (the "Property"), Atlin Mining District of NW British Columbia.

Core Silver's 2025 exploration program was designed to evaluate the mineralization potential of an extensive (5km x 8km) Cu-Mo-Ag±Au-bearing porphyry intrusion at the Laverdiere Copper Project through prospecting, detailed structural mapping, regional soil sampling and deep exploratory diamond drilling (Figure 1).

EXPLORATION HIGHLIGHTS

• Six (6) diamond drill holes totaling 2,769 metres have been completed at Laverdiere in 2025 (Table 1).

• Drilling along the Valley Fault has intersected extensive zones of intense hydrothermal alteration and multiple porphyry-style vein assemblages, including:

  • An upper oxidized copper enrichment zone with intermittent chalcopyrite-malachite±molybdenite±bornite mineralization.

  • A molybdenum-rich peripheral zone with coarse molybdenite, specular hematite, silver-bearing sulfosalt mineralization, local chalcopyrite and rare pyrite.

  • A deeper copper-dominant zone with chalcopyrite-molybdenite±bornite veins that show a gradual, visual increase in density and thickness with depth.

• High-grade surface samples at the Valley Zone recently returned assays of up to 366 g/t Ag, 0.71% Cu and 0.54% Mo, reconfirming the presence of high-grade porphyry mineralization along the Valley Fault.

• Earlier in 2025, surface samples along the Valley Fault graded 0.62% Cu with 316 g/t Ag and 0.78% Mo, highlighting grade consistency in veins and mineralized breccias along strike at the Valley Zone (Table 2).

• Newly discovered porphyry veins exposed at Copper Creek, 2.3km south of the Valley Zone, can be traced for over 200-metres along strike. Samples collected here earlier in the 2025 season returned 0.63% Cu with 17 g/t Ag and 355 ppm Mo.

• 65 rock samples and 197 soil samples have been collected in 2025, and prospecting is on-going.

• In total, Cu-Mo-Ag mineralization is now confirmed across 4.4 kilometres at Laverdiere - extending from the Main Copper Skarn Zone (North Adit) to Copper Creek and remains open for expansion in all directions.

• Drilling continues into the fall and updates will be provided as they become available.

Core Silver's President & CEO, Nick Rodway, commented:

"Our 2025 exploration program at Laverdiere continues to indicate the presence of a large-scale copper-molybdenum-silver system over a multi-kilometre strike length. The Valley Zone is returning consistent high-grade surface results, and with deeper drilling now underway, we see potential to uncover an extensive porphyry system associated with multiple high-grade massive copper sulphide skarn showings. With several new zones identified and mineralization open in all directions, Laverdiere has the scale, grade and growth potential to become a cornerstone asset within our Blue Property portfolio and drive significant long-term value for shareholders."

ABOUT THE LAVERDIERE COPPER PROJECT

The Laverdiere Copper Project is a low-elevation, drill-permitted, early-stage high-grade Cu-Mo-Ag-Au porphyry-skarn Target. The Project has been sporadically explored since the early 1900s, without ever having received a significant exploration program. Adits driven into the Laverdiere area in the early 1900s reportedly returned up to 27m grading 1.20% Cu. The Llewellyn Fault Zone, a regional and strongly metal-endowed fault, cuts through the Laverdiere Copper Project for 14 km of strike length and marks the contact between the Yukon-Tanana and Stikine Terranes in the Project area. Currently only 1km of the total strike length of this economically important fault zone has been explored. Diamond drilling completed 125m north of the French Adit in 1974 reportedly returned 175m of 0.27% Cu, including 6m of 1.60% Cu and 7.8m of 1.60% Cu. Core Silver's inaugural diamond drilling campaign at the Laverdiere Copper Project in 2022 returned up to 48.5m of 1.02% CuEq (0.90% Cu, 6g/t Ag, and 0.11g/t Au) from 31.46m depth in drill hole LAV22-001 (French Adit), 223m of 0.20% CuEq (0.11% Cu, 2g/t Ag, and 0.006% Mo) from 15m depth in LAV22-002 (French Adit), and 107.38m of 0.31% CuEq (0.11% Cu, 0.023% Mo, 0.9g/t Au, and 0.02g/t Au) from 144.62m depth in hole LAV22-006 (North Adit). The entirety of the 2022 Laverdiere Program results are summarized in the news release dated March 29^th, 2023.

Drilled and mapped high-grade copper-bearing skarn mineralization at Laverdiere is coincident with embayments in the contact zones of the expansive Cretaceous intrusions on the west side of Hoboe Creek. A large unexplored embayment in the intrusion is mapped 8km to the south of the to-date explored zone at Laverdiere and is in contact with Boundary Range metamorphic rocks at this location. Apophyses of the larger granodiorite intrusion are also mapped in contact with limestone and marbles amenable to massive sulphide skarn mineralization approximately 7km to the southwest of the known zones of high-grade porphyry-skarn mineralization.

At Laverdiere, an extensive Cretaceous granodiorite intrusion hosts widespread Cu-Mo-Ag±Au porphyry mineralization. The intrusion is associated with a very high-grade Fe-Cu-Au-Ag massive sulphide skarn occurrence (the "Main Zone") that is exposed at surface along the western flank of the prolific Llewellyn Fault Zone (LFZ) at the porphyry-marble contact. The Main Zone was drill-tested in 2022 and returned significant copper grades over extensive widths including: 267.05m of 0.21% CuEq (0.17% Cu, 1g/t Ag, 0.04g/t Au) from surface including 48.54m of 1.02% CuEq (0.90% Cu, 6g/t Ag, 0.11g/t Au) from 31.46m depth.

In 2024, high-grade porphyry Cu-Mo-Ag±Au mineralization at the newly defined Valley Zone, located 2.2km southwest of the Main Zone, was structurally mapped and sampled. At the Valley Zone, a series of sheeted mineralized porphyry veins and fractures hosted in altered granodiorite have been mapped and sampled over a 1-kilometer east-west trend following the Valley Fault that historically returned up to 3.24% Cu (with 82g/t Ag, 0.56g/t Au and 0.053% Mo) and 0.32% Mo (with 1.03% Cu, 4g/t Ag) in 2022. In 2024, a 20cm thick east-west striking quartz vein grading 0.83% Cu, 47g/t Ag, 0.44g/t Au and 0.007% Mo was discovered on the opposite side of the Valley Fault.

SAMPLING, PREPARATION & QA/QC

All 2025 rock and drill core samples are transported by helicopter at the end of each field day to the core logging facility in Atlin, BC for processing. Field samples were chosen to capture homogenous lithology, alteration, mineralization, and veining. All rock and drill core samples are submitted to Bureau Veritas (BV) Labs in Whitehorse, YT. Each sample is crushed to 70% passing 2mm, then pulverized to 85% passing 200-micron mesh. All samples then undergo a 4-Acid digestion with an ICP-MS finish for a 59-element ultra trace package (Method Code MA-250), as well as fire assay by Pb collection with ICP-ES finish for Au, Pt, and Pd (Method code FA-330). Samples that hit upper detection limits for elements of interest on the primary multi-element method are further analyzed via a secondary 4-Acid digest with an ICP-OES finish (Method Code MA-370). Extremely high-grade Pb samples were analyzed via a tertiary overlimit method, GC-817.

ABOUT CORE SILVER CORP.

Core Silver Corp. is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition and development of mineral projects in British Columbia, Canada. The Company currently holds 100% ownership in the Blue Property Mineral Tenure, which covers a land area of114,074 hectares (~1,140 km²). The project lies within the Atlin Mining District, a well-known gold mining camp located in the unceded territory of the Taku River Tlingit First Nation and the Carcross/Tagish First Nation. The Blue Property hosts a major structural feature known as The Llewellyn Fault Zone ("LFZ"). This structure is approximately 140km in length and runs from the Tally-Ho Shear Zone in the Yukon, south through the Blue Property to the Alaskan Panhandle Juneau Ice Sheet in the United States. Core Silver believes that the south Atlin Lake area and the LFZ has been neglected since the last major exploration campaigns in the 1980's. The LFZ plays an important role in mineralization of near surface metal occurrences across the Blue Property Mineral Tenure. The past 50 years have seen substantial advancements in the understanding of porphyry, skarn, and carbonate replacement type deposits both globally and in British Columbia's Golden Triangle. The Company has leveraged this information at the Blue Property Mineral Tenure to tailor an already proven exploration model and believes this could facilitate a major discovery. Core Silver is excited to become one of Atlin Mining District's premier explorers where its team believes there are substantial opportunities for new discoveries and development in the area.
