Hi-View Resources Acquires Strategic “BEN” Claim Within New Southeast
Target Zone, In Proximity to Amarc Resources “AuRORA” Copper/Gold
Discovery
Planning 2025 Exploration Program Following Sample Results of Up To 111.5
g/t Gold and 2,740 g/t Silver at its Toodoggone Project, BC
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, FEBRUARY 20TH, 2025 – HI-VIEW RESOURCES INC.
(‘HI-VIEW' OR THE ‘COMPANY’) (CSE: HVW; OTCQB: HVWRF; FSE: B63) announces that it
has entered into an agreement with an arms -length vendor to acquire a 100% interest in the strategically
located “BEN” claim in close proximity to Amarc Resources Ltd. ’s ( “Amarc” or “AHR”) and Freeport-
McMoRan Inc.’s ( “Freeport”) recently announced significant drilling discovery at the Gold-Silver-Copper
rich porphyry AuRORA target. (See Amarc News Release dated January 20 th, 2025). The BEN claim is
strategically located within Hi-View’s Lawyers East claim block that is contiguous to the western flank of
Amarc’s JOY Property.
The BEN claim was previously owned by TDG Gold Corp. (“TDG”) that operates the nearby “Baker” and
“Shasta” Copper/Gold projects and is contiguous to the North and East sides of Hi -View’s Lawyers East
claim block (See below Toodoggone area map).
See project page for more information: Toodoggone Mining District - Hi-View Resources
Hi-View Resources CEO Robert Nick Horsley states, “Gold prices are hitting all-time highs and copper
is in high demand as a critical metal in the Green Energy Transition . We are well positioned and excited
to continue our exploration in the prolific Toodoggone region following significant 2024 sampling
discoveries on our Lawyers claim blocks next to the Amarc Resources AuRORA discovery.
Neighboring Thesis Gold Inc. (“TAU”) recently raised $10 Million by way of brokered private placement
and will be actively drilling to expand their existing mineral resource of over 4 million ounces of Gold
equivalent next to our100% owned Golden Stranger property.
We are planning an active 2025 exploration season, focusing on both our newly acquired Babine Gold and
Copper project and our Gold-Silver Projects in the prolific Toodoggone region. Furthermore, the Company
will continue to look to acquire new exciting opportunities to add to its highly prospective portfolio of Gold
and Copper exploration projects.”
Planning has commenced for a follow up exploration program on the Company’s 9,140 Hectare (“Ha”)
Golden Stranger Project and Lawyers South, East and West claims located in British Columbia's prolific
Toodoggone-Kemess porphyry Cu-Au region of north-central British Columbia (“Toodoggone”).
Hi-View’s properties are contiguous to Thesis Gold Inc. (“TAU”) Lawyers-Ranch project that has reported
significant drilling intercepts and extensive continued drilling campaigns and currently hosts a Total
Mineral Resource of 4.0 million ounces (Moz) gold equivalent (AuEq)1,2 (Measured and Indicated) at 1.51
grams per tonne ( g/t) AuEq1,2 and 727,000 oz AuEq1,2 (Inferred) at 1.82 g/t Au Eq1,2 (See Thesis News
Release dated September 5th 2024). To the Southeast, Hi-View’s properties are contiguous to Amarc’s JOY
Copper-Gold district project that recently announced significant drilling discoveries at the Au-rich porphyry
AuRORA Target (See Amarc News Release dated January 20th, 2025).

Exploration at the BEN Claim
Exploration for epithermal type deposit s has been concentrated on the Jerry , the Lacnoir and the eastern
part of the Ben claim. The claims are underlain by coarse grained granodiorite of the Black Lake intrusive
suite in contact with Jurassic Takla Group volcanic and sedimentary rocks.
Detailed ground magnetometer surveys and a program of soil sampling has been completed in the past at
the Lacnoir claim and the southeast corner of the Ben claim. A number of anomalous gold in soils have
been detected in the historical soil sampling including assays of up to 1,720 parts per billion gold. The
results to date indicate that additional follow -up exploration is warranted on the Jerry, Lacnoir and Ben
claims including geological mapping, additional geophysical surveys and further sampling programs.
Hi-View 2024 Exploration Overview
As announced on October 1 st 2024, Hi-View completed a sampling program that returned assays in grab
samples of up to 111.5 g/t Au and 2,740 g/t Ag. In addition, the Company identified a new target zone 1.3
km to the southeast of the Golden Stranger on the Lawyers Group . The target consists of a previously
unknown mineralized zone, with one grab sample returning 2.68 g/t Au and 13.2 g/t Ag along with a number
of gold in soil anomalies. The Company has 45 sites now permitted for drilling across the project to confirm
and expand upon historical drilling intercepts on the project of up to 10 meters of 11.5 g/t Au. The project
hosts a historical resource of 498,905 tonnes of material grading 2.74 g/t Au* (Sutton Resources Ltd. Report
to Shareholders, March 30, 1989 in Energy, Mines and Resources Canada Mineral Bulletin MR 223 (1989)
- B.C. 268)*.
*The historical mineral resource estimate above for the Golden Stranger mineralized zone was calculated
prior to the implementation of the standards set forth in the current NI 43 -101 and current CIM standards
for mineral resource estimation. Resource definitions, terminology, and reporting standards have changed
significantly since these series of reports. The estimates in these reports are all considered historical in
nature and a QP has not done sufficient work to evaluate these resources as current resources. In order for
these resources to be updated as current resources, a QP would need to examine and analyze the existing
drill core, validate and verify the existing data supporting the historical estimate, and perform a
confirmatory site visit. Therefore, the Company and the QP for this News Release are treating this estimate
as historical in nature and are highlighting the estimate for the purpose of illustrating the potential extent of
mineralization that may be present.
Prior to the October 2024 announcement Hi -View’s 2023 exploration program consisted of soil sampling
within the Golden Stranger claims. The Golden Stranger claims have historical drilling of 29 diamond drill
holes during 1987 and 1988, which showed mineralization in core and on surface consistent with other
regional mineralized trends. The Lawyers group of claims has had an airborne magnetics survey flown at
100 meter spacing, which produced strong magnetic anomalies consistent with other regional mineralized
trends.
Figure 2. Golden Stranger Drill Core
The soil survey was completed in Fall 2023 and was centered around the main Golden Stranger historical
showings on a grid 3 km wide by 2.8 km in length with 15 sample lines at 200 m spacing with samples
along the lines collected at 100 m intervals. A total of 419 soil samples sites were examined and wh ere
possible sampled in 2023. Results have been received for a total of 335 samples with 8 samples returning
greater than 50 ppb Au and 2 samples returning greater than 100 ppb Au up to 254 ppb Au. A total of 11
rock grab samples during 2023 were collected while soil sampling with 3 samples returning greater than
0.1 g/t Au up to 0.957 g/t Au. A total of 6 of the 11 rock grab samples yielded greater than 2 g/t Ag up to
7.4 g/t Ag. Most of the rock grab samples were collected near the north end of the main showings area.
Based upon the 2023 work and results, the 2024 survey identified two new areas with multiple anomalous
gold in soil samples identified 800 m north of the main showings and 1.2 km southeast of the main
showings. A total of 45 rock grab samples were collected during the 2024 program. There is little exposure
in the areas of the gold in soil anomalies, however, some minor silica veins with propylitic alteration were
spotted in limited outcrops and were sampled. At the main historical Golden Stranger showings, geologists
identified hydrothermal breccias with potassic alteration and rounded altered clasts along with silica
veinlets similar to the breccias at the Cliff Creek prospect at Thesis Gold’s Lawyers Project. The breccias,
similar to the neighboring Lawyers gold project, contain sooty pyrite in a silica matrix with some galena
spotted. A total of five samples returned anomalous gold (>0.2 g/t Au) and six samples returned anomalous
silver (>5 g/t Ag), including one impressive high-grade grab sample that returned 111.5 g/t Au and 2,740
g/t Ag. Additionally, quartz veins sampled 1.3 km to the southeast of the Golden Stranger on the Lawyers
Group revealed a previously unknown mineralized zone, with one sample returning 2.68 g/t Au and 13.2 g/t
Ag and four samples returning anomalous silver, indicating significant potential for further discoveries in
this area.
Hi-Views’ management cautions that past results or discoveries on properties in proximity to Hi-View may
not necessarily be indicative of the presence of mineralization on the Company's properties.
Terms of the Agreement
The Company has acquired 100% interest in the BEN claim block from an arm’s length vendor by issuing
100,000 common shares of the Company at a deemed price of $0.05.
Quality Assurance and Control
Results from samples were analyzed at ALS Global Laboratories (Geochemistry Division) in
Vancouver, Canada (an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited facility). The sampling program was
