Inventus Discovers New Gold-Bearing Channel With Thickest Intercept to Date
at the Pardo Gold Project
TORONTO, Sept. 04, 2025 -- Inventus Mining Corp. (TSXV: IVS) (“Inventus” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce
results from its Phase 2 drilling program at the 100%-owned Pardo Gold Project, located 65 km northeast of Sudbury, Ontario.
The results include the thickest zone of gold-bearing conglomerate reef intersected to date, further confirming the expansion
potential of gold mineralization at Pardo.
Highlights
• Hole PD-25-87, starting at a depth of 32 metres, intersected 6.47 metres of 2.16 gpt gold including 2.65 metres of
3.87 gpt gold and a high-grade core returning 0.85 metres of 9.41 gpt gold.
• This 35-metre step-out to the northwest, intersected the thickest gold-bearing conglomerate reef at Pardo to date and
represents the discovery of a new channel of gold mineralization that remains open for drill testing.
Drilling Update
Phase 2 drilling has successfully extended gold mineralization to the northwest beyond the existing footprint (Figure 1). Hole
PD-25-87 returned 6.47 metres of 2.16 gpt gold , including 2.65 metres of 3.87 gpt gold (Figure 2), a record thickness for
Pardo, more than three times the typical 2-metre average. This exceptional intersection provides further evidence of stacked,
flat-lying and laterally continuous gold reefs and represents the discovery of a new channelized zone that remains open for
expansion. Importantly, this intercept occurs 400 metres south of a historic grab sample that assayed 86.5 gpt gold (1) ,
highlighting the broader exploration potential to the north and the opportunity to expand mineralization well beyond the current
drilling footprint.
These results also complement the Company’s ongoing 45,000-tonne bulk sampling program, where initial grade-control
drilling has already returned grades above expectations. Together, bulk sampling will demonstrate project economics, grade
reconciliation and potential cash flow, alongside step-out drilling, provide immediate validation of near-term mining potential
while establishing a scalable model for future low-cost, near-surface mining. These efforts create a clear pathway to resource
growth and long-term value creation for shareholders.
Wesley Whymark, President and Head of Exploration comments: “Intersecting the thickest gold-bearing reef we’ve ever
seen in drill hole PD-25-87 is not only a strong validation of our geological model, but also a clear demonstration that these
reefs can develop exceptional thickness with high-grade zones over a continuous mineralized horizon. This discovery opens
up a new channel of mineralization to the northwest, giving us an exciting new area for follow-up drilling and reinforcing the
potential scale of Pardo as a low-cost, near-surface gold project. These results continue to strengthen our confidence in the
project’s ability to deliver meaningful growth and value for shareholders.”

Qualified Person
The Qualified Person responsible for the technical content of this news release is Inventus’ President and Head of Exploration,
Wesley Whymark, P.Geo., who has reviewed and approved the technical disclosure in this news release on behalf of the
Company.
Technical Information
Drill core samples collected by Inventus and described in this news release were subject to a variety of QA/QC protocols. PQ
Size drill core was placed in core boxes by the contracted drill crew and then transported by Inventus personnel to a secure
processing facility in Sudbury, Ontario. The core was then reviewed with core metreage blocks checked to verify core integrity,
recovery and geologically logged with samples marked. Whole core samples were then photographed and inserted into a clean
plastic bag with a sample tag. Certified reference materials were inserted into the sample stream at a rate of no less than
10%. Samples were then transported in secure sealed bags with security tags for preparation and assay by MSA Labs in Val
d’Or, Quebec. All samples reported were crushed in their entirety to 80% passing 2 mm. A subsample comprising 2 kg was
riffle split and pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns (-200 mesh). The 2kg pulverized subsample is then riffle split into one 300
- to 500-g jar for gold analysis by PhotonAssay. MSA Labs is an ISO 17025:2017 accredited geochemical testing laboratory.
