Black Mammoth Metals Finds IP and Magnetic
Target Zone at Big Bear Copper Property, AZ

VANCOUVER, BC

/CNW/ -
Black Mammoth Metals Corporation
(TSXV: BMM)
(OTC: LQRCF)
("Black Mammoth" or the "Company")
is pleased to announce the results of a
pole-dipole induced polarization (IP) survey with inversion model and the results of a UAV magnetic
survey at the Company's 100% owned Big Bear Copper property ("Big Bear" or the "Property"). The
Company has also staked 29 additional unpatented lode claims managed by the U.S. Forest Service
with the Property now covering approximately 367 hectares (909 acres). Big Bear is located at the
NE flank of the Mazatzal Mountains, Gila County, AZ.
IP and Magnetic Survey - Results:
The IP results have delineated a target zone where the chargeability high and resistivity high
is coincident with high-grade copper in rock chips
(see Figure 1)
and with an underlying
magnetic high located along a NW trending fault zone
(see Figure 2)
(the "Target Zone").
The
north-south IP lines (4) were spaced 150m apart and magnetic survey's east-west flight lines were
spaced 25m to 50m apart.
The Company's outcrop chip samples collected in 2025 confirmed 74m of vertical extent of a known
historical copper oxide zone (the "Historic Copper Zone") that consists of historical drilling, trenching
and outcrop chip sampling
(see the Company's news release dated June 16, 2025).
The newly
delineated Target Zone overlaps and expands the Historic Copper Zone.

IP and Magnetic Survey - Objectives:
The objective of the IP and magnetic surveys was to further confirm and expand the Historic Copper
Zone and to locate underlying primary sulfide mineralization. Historical shallow drilling, with a
maximum depth of 120m, identified oxide copper and sulfide mineralization in drill holes down to the
borehole bottoms.
Black Mammoth Metals feels that the recent work-up at Big Bear, including the newly
delineated Target Zone, suggests that a larger undiscovered copper system may exist on the
Property.
