Goldstorm Metals Initiates 2025 Exploration

Program Targeting the Copernicus Zone on the

Crown Property, Located in the Golden

Triangle of British Columbia

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 8, 2025) -

Goldstorm Metals Corp.

(TSXV:

GSTM) (FSE: B2U)

Goldstorm

" or "

the Company

") is pleased to announce that, following a review

of its previous exploration programs and recent copper-gold-silver discoveries at the 100%-owned

Crown Property, geological and geophysical programs will be undertaken to advance exploration on the

Copernicus Zone. The Crown Property covers approximately 16,000 hectares situated adjacent and due

south of both Seabridge Gold Inc.'s KSM gold-copper project and Newmont's Brucejack gold mine.

Centered on the Crown Project within the Orion Concessions, the Copernicus Zone represents a high-

grade copper target with associated gold and silver mineralization. Goldstorm is currently analyzing

assay results from previous sampling programs on the Property, which could define drill-hole locations

for an inaugural diamond drilling program. The Company may initiate a drill program if favourable results

are obtained from a detailed geophysical study, which is to be undertaken over the length of the Orion

'Spine', a six-kilometer-long, highly silicified and altered, north-south trending ridgeline that hosts various

styles of mineralization. Geophysics will include detailed Magnetotelluric (MT) and Induced Polarization

(IP) ground surveys to identify magnetic anomalies, chargeability highs, and co-incident resistivity lows

that may be associated with mineralization.

To facilitate potential upcoming drilling on the Copernicus Zone, Goldstorm has completed the

construction of several drill pads targeting the north to northwest trending, shear-hosted, massive

chalcopyrite lenses that may represent mobilized metals from a deeper source within the Orion Spine.

Ken Konkin, P.Geo., President and CEO, comments: "Our technical team has done an excellent job of

compiling the data from the recent discoveries along the Orion Spine. We believe that the mineral

showings discovered by our reconnaissance crews over the past two years may be surficial

representations of a deeper, larger mineralized zone, similar to discoveries at the KSM and Treaty

Creek Au-Cu-Ag porphyry deposits located to the north. It is theorized that metal-rich fluids may have

been mobilized along high-angle reverse faults that acted as conduits for volatiles originating from

intrusive bodies at depth. The silicification, alteration and oxidation observed at surface is similar to that

seen associated with mineralized intrusives dispersed along the trend of the Sulphurets thrust fault to the

north, which is projected to extend south through the center of the Crown Property. The geophysical

surveys may help determine the best possible drill targets along the Orion Spine that potentially lie

beneath the Copernicus Zone. The detailed geophysical surveys will augment previously completed

reconnaissance scale surveys done in 2016."

2024 Crown Property Sampling Results

Extensive mapping and sampling programs in 2024 on the Crown Property included a total of 627

surface rock grab, chip and channel samples.

On the

Orion Concession

, crews delineated multiple

mineralized trends within volcaniclastic rocks at the Copernicus Zone, located along the upper Orion

Spine. Three structures trending to the north, and one trending to the northwest, have been identified

over 1,500 m of length. Mineralization located over 500 m to the north suggests that the zone may extend

under the Frank Mackie Glacier and is potentially a larger source of mineralization associated with an

anomalous magnetic high. At the Cat in the Hat Zone, also on Orion, gold-bearing veins trending

northeasterly within rhyolitic rocks have been discovered, extending into previously unsampled glacial

ablation zones. Click to view:
