Bathurst Metals Announces Merry May Claim Option
September 18, 2025 PRESS RELEASE TSX-V: BMV OTC: BMVVF
BATHURST METALS ANNOUNCES MERRY MAY CLAIM OPTION
Vancouver, B.C. September 18, 2025 – Bathurst Metals Corp. (“Bathurst” or the “Company”) is pleased
to announce the completion of the acquisition of an undivided 100% interest in the “Merry May Project”,
as announced on September 5, 2025. The project is located on the west side of Truax Creek, south of
Carpenter Lake, near Gold Bridge, B.C. It lies along the highly prospective Minto–Olympic–Mary Mac
structural trend, which is well known for its gold and antimony mineralization.

The Merry May project consists of one mineral claim comprising 81.6 hectares near Gold Bridge, B.C.
Situated 500 metres southwest and directly on trend is the Mary Mac deposit. Approximately 3.2
kilometres northwest, Endurance Gold Corp. has recently outlined multiple gold-in-soil anomalies as part
of its Reliance Gold Project. Further along the trend, 5.5 kilometres northwest, lies the historic Minto
Mine, which operated from 1934 to 1940, producing 80,650 tonnes of ore averaging 6.8 g/t gold and 19.9
g/t silver. In total, Minto yielded 546 kg gold, 1,573 kg silver, with over 2,130 metres of underground
workings developed, establishing it as a significant high-grade polymetallic producer in the Bridge River
district. The Merry May Project is also directly across Carpenter Lake from the Company’s Peerless
property, providing the Company with a strong presence in this highly prospective region.
There is no assurance the Company’s results of exploration of the Merry May Project will be similar to or
mirror those of adjacent or proximal properties.
The Merry May Project was introduced to the Company by an arm’s length vendor who had optioned the
property four days before the Company agreed to acquire it for payment of $1,000, a minimum work
commitment of $50,000 over 24 months and a 1% NSR royalty. The 1% NSR may be repurchased at
any time after commencement of commercial production for the sum of US $1,000,000.
The Company assumed all these obligations and agreed to the issuance of 2,200,000 shares with a
discounted market value of approx. $148,500 as consideration for the assignment of the option. The
shares will be released to the vendor over a period of one year, with 20% released on closing and an
additional 20% released at the end of each calendar quarter following the closing.
All common shares issued will be subject to a four (4) month hold period from the date of TSXV
acceptance. No finders fee was paid in connection with the transaction.
The Company considers the share consideration to be fair and reasonable due to its location and
proximity to the Company’s Peerless property in the highly prospective Bridge River District.
