Nevada Sunrise Announces Fall 2025 Exploration Plans for the Griffon Gold Mine Project, Nevada
Nevada Sunrise Announces Fall 2025
Exploration Plans for the Griffon Gold Mine
Project, Nevada
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 14, 2025) -
Nevada Sunrise Metals
Corporation (TSXV: NEV) (OTC Pink: NVSGF)
(
"Nevada Sunrise" or the "Company"
) is pleased
to announce its exploration plans for the fall of 2025 at the Griffon Gold Mine Project ("
Griffon
", or the
"
Project
") in White Pine County, Nevada, USA. Griffon hosts a past-producing gold mine, and is located
within the Battle Mountain-Eureka Gold Belt, a fertile trend that contains numerous gold mines and
deposits.
Highlights of the Fall 2025 Exploration Program
In the Second Quarter of 2025, Nevada Sunrise received positive results from AI-generated analysis by
VRIFY Technology Inc. ("VRIFY") of the extensive historical Griffon geological and geophysical database
(see Nevada Sunrise news release dated
September 9, 2025
). The Fall 2025 surface work will initially
cover the unmined area south of the Hammer Ridge open pit (the "Anvil Zone") to help define a potential
"signature" from a known gold occurrence, and allow comparisons to the work carried out on the high
priority target areas defined by VRIFY. The 2025 Fall exploration program includes:
Comprehensive soil surveys incorporating leading-edge geochemical technology, i.e., Soil Gas
Hydrocarbon ("SGH") and/or Ionic Leach methods, which can detect subtle indications of buried
mineralization that may not show robust surface expression from conventional soil surveys;
Ground geophysical surveys consisting of induced polarization/resistivity ("IP/Resistivity") and/or
controlled source audio-frequency magnetotellurics ("CSAMT") methods to better identify the
character of the geological structures present at Griffon;
Multi-element geochemical analysis of reverse circulation drill cuttings collected at Griffon by
Fremont Gold Corp. in 2020, which were historically assayed only for gold despite the presence of
strong alteration in the deeper Pilot Shale member, e.g., hole GF20-07B (see Figure 1). The
broader analytical package includes antimony, arsenic, thallium, mercury and other important
pathfinder elements that could provide geochemical vectors for new drill targets at the Project.

"Our recent work at Griffon confirms the Company's belief that since the early closure of the open pit
mining operation in 1999, sporadic exploration carried out over the last 26 years has only scratched the
surface of the Project," said Warren Stanyer, President and CEO of Nevada Sunrise. "New discoveries
of gold, both in near-surface deposits and at greater depths, are becoming more frequent in Nevada due
to the growing geological knowledge base and the application of modern technologies, which Nevada
Sunrise's exploration team is pleased to embrace."
Griffon Permitting Update
In late September 2025, Nevada Sunrise submitted a Plan of Operations (the "
Plan
") for Griffon to the
United States Forest Service (the "
USFS
") to advise the USFS of the Company's proposed surface
disturbance and drilling plans at Griffon. The USGS has confirmed its receipt of the Plan and the
Company awaits comments within a standard 30-day period from receipt. However, it is unknown at this
time how the current U.S. government shutdown will affect the usual response time from the USFS.
About Griffon
Griffon is located approximately 50 kilometres (33 miles) southwest of Ely, Nevada and consists of 89
unpatented mineral claims totaling approximately 1,780 acres (720 hectares). Griffon is situated within a
60 kilometre (40 mile) section of the Battle Mountain-Eureka Belt, which hosts operating gold mines and
significant gold deposits (see Figure 2).
In February 2025, the Company entered into a mining lease to purchase Griffon from an arm's-length
party (see Nevada Sunrise news release dated
February 20, 2025
).
Gold was mined at Griffon in two
open pits from 1998 to 1999 and was reported to have produced 62,661 ounces of oxide gold until its
premature closure in 1999, a year when the price of gold averaged approximately US$278 per ounce.
