/CNW/ - Cascadia Minerals Ltd. ("
Cascadia
") (TSX-V:CAM) (OTCQB:CAMNF)
is pleased to provide 2025 exploration results from its 100%-owned road-accessible Rosy Property
in south-central
Yukon
. The Rosy Property hosts widespread gold-silver bearing epithermal quartz-
carbonate veins likely related to the adjacent Red Mountain Molybdenum Deposit.

Highlights
Prospecting in 2025 extended the mineralized footprint at Rosy, returning the highest gold grade
ever sampled on the property:
45.40 g/t gold and 10.1 g/t silver
;
Numerous additional rock samples returned high-grade gold and silver including
24.20 g/t gold
with 39.4 g/t silver
in float,
13.85 g/t gold with 5.9 g/t silver
in outcrop, and
2.32 g/t gold
with 302 g/t silver
in float;
Prospecting and mapping have outlined a 3.8 km × 2.5 km gold-arsenic ± silver ± antimony soil
anomaly and
over
35 gold-silver low-sulphidation epithermal quartz-carbonate veins
; and
Historical prospecting has returned very high-grade silver, including a 2016 rock sample which
returned 0.31 g/t gold with
1,835 g/t silver.
"With gold and silver prices at record highs, we are excited to scale up work at our road-
accessible, royalty-free Rosy Property. The mineralogy, extent and tenor of mineralization at Rosy
is clear evidence of a large epithermal gold-silver system,"
said
Graham Downs
, President and
CEO of Cascadia.
"The main target at Rosy has seen minimal historical work, with less than
300 m
of drilling. Planning is underway for follow-up work to advance multiple targets at Rosy to the drill
stage."

2025 Rosy Exploration
Exploration at Rosy in 2025 was conducted over a five-day field program focused on prospecting
and mapping within a 3.8 km × 2.5 km gold-arsenic ± silver ± antimony soil anomaly. A total of 262
rock samples were collected from underexplored areas, expanding the footprint of known
mineralization, extending known veins and identifying several new veins. Rock sampling returned
widespread gold-silver mineralization across the target area, with 100 rock samples returning
greater than 0.50 g/t gold, and 31 samples returning greater than 1.00 g/t gold. Structural orientation
information was also collected to improve the understanding of the vein system orientations,
including near historical rock samples that returned 35.93 g/t gold with 32.4 g/t silver, and 0.31 g/t
gold with 1,835 g/t silver. Highlight results from 2025 prospecting are provided in Table 1 and Figure

Rosy Property Overview
Cascadia's 64 km
2
Rosy Property is located within the Traditional Territory of the Teslin Tlingit
Council, 77 km east of
Whitehorse
. The property is road-accessible via the Red Mountain Tote
Road, which extends from the government-maintained South Canol Road. The property hosts
widespread gold and silver-bearing veins that are likely associated with the nearby Late Cretaceous
Boswell Pluton and Red Mountain Molybdenum Deposit.
Mineralization on the Rosy property is indicative of the distal part of a large hydrothermal system It
occurs within low-sulphidation epithermal quartz-carbonate veins as well as altered intrusive rocks.
Over 35 gold-silver bearing quartz-carbonate-ankerite-sericite-arsenopyrite-pyrite veins have been
mapped on the property and occur with rusty oxidation, faults and fractures, quartz-feldspar
porphyry dykes and silica-carbonate-clay altered wall rocks. The mineralized veins vary in size from
millimetres to tens of centimetres and typically display crustiform, colloform and cockade textures.
Prospecting programs have returned highlight grab samples including 45.40 g/t gold with 10.1 g/t
silver, and 0.31 g/t gold with 1,835 g/t silver.
About Cascadia
Cascadia's flagship asset is the 177 km
2
Carmacks Project, located within in central
Yukon,
Canada
, 35 km southeast of the past producing Minto Mine. The road-accessible Carmacks Project
has a Measured and Indicated Resource containing 651 Mlbs of copper and 302 koz of gold (36.3
million tonnes grading 0.81% copper, 0.26 g/t gold, 3.23 g/t silver and 0.01% molybdenum) or
1.07% copper equivalent. A 2023 preliminary economic assessment demonstrated positive
economic potential, with a
$330.1 M
post-tax NPV(5%) and 38% after-tax IRR at
$4.25
/lb copper
and
$2,000
/oz gold.
Cascadia also has a pipeline of discovery stage copper-gold properties throughout the Yukon Stikine
Terrane including its Catch Property, which hosts a copper-gold porphyry discovery where inaugural
drill results returned broad intervals of mineralization (
116.60 m
of 0.31% copper with 0.30 g/t gold).
High-grade copper and gold mineralization is found at surface over 5 km long trend, with grab
samples returning peak values of 3.88% copper, 1,065 g/t gold, and 267 g/t silver.
QA/QC
Analytical work was completed by ALS Canada Ltd., with sample preparation for in
Whitehorse
,
Yukon
, and geochemical analyses in
North Vancouver, British Columbia
. Samples were analyzed for
gold by the Au-AA23 procedure, which involves fire assay preparation using a 30-gram charge with
an atomic absorption spectroscopy finish. Multi-element data for 48 elements was determined by the
ME-MS61 procedure, which involves a four-acid digestion followed by inductively coupled plasma
– atomic emission spectroscopy ("ICP-AES") and inductively coupled plasma – mass spectrometry.
Overlimit values for gold were determined by the Au-GRA21 method, which involves fire assay
preparation using a 30-gram charge and a gravimetric finish. Overlimit values for silver were
determined by the Ag-OG62 method, which involves a four-acid digest followed by ICP-AES.
Results referenced in this release represent highlight results only, and include results from 2025 and
previous years. Below detection values for gold and silver have been encountered in soil and rock
samples in these target areas. Readers are cautioned that grab samples are selective by nature and
are not necessarily representative of the grade of mineralization on the property.
Copper equivalent calculations for the Carmacks Deposit use metal prices of
US$4.00
/lb for copper,
US$2,500
/oz for gold,
US$30
/oz for silver and
US$20
/lb for molybdenum. Recovery factors of 82%
for copper, 70% for gold, 69% for silver and 70% for molybdenum were used, based on recovery
projections from the 2023 PEA study.
