Drilling hits wide zone of mineralisation
in new area well outside resource
Intersection of 28.9m at 2.5g/t AuEq just 200m from surface offers potential for
additional resource growth; Follow-up drilling to start next week
HIGHLIGHTS:
• Ongoing resource growth drilling at Cedar Bay has intersected a wide zone of mineralisation in
what appears to be a new parallel zone:
o 28.9m at 2.5g/t AuEq (1.0g/t Au, 1.0% Cu & 12.0g/t Ag) (CDR-25-16)
• The result highlights the strong potential to keep growing the resource base within the well-
endowed Chibougamau District, which has produced 945,000t of copper and 3.5Moz of gold 1
• Follow-up drilling is set to start next week to test the extent of this new mineralised zone
• Cygnus’ drilling is currently targeting the down plunge continuation of the high-grade gold -
dominant mineral resource at Cedar Bay , which stands at 0.3Mt at 8.1g/t AuEq for 67koz AuEq
(Indicated) and 0.8Mt at 7.8g/t AuEq for 205koz AuEq (Inferred)2
• First result from new drilling campaign at Cedar Bay was 10.6m at 4.1g/t AuEq (3.6g/t Au, 0.3% Cu
& 2.8g/t Ag) in CDR-25-11W13 with recent follow-up drill results of:
o 2.7m at 5.7g/t AuEq (3.2g/t Au, 1.8% Cu & 10.6g/t Ag) (CDR-25-12W2)
o 1.3m at 9.3g/t AuEq (2.6g/t Au, 4.8% Cu & 13.9g/t Ag) (CDR-25-15)
• Cygnus recently demonstrated significant growth at the Chibougamau Project by increasing the
global resource by 29%. The current Mineral Resource Estimate (‘MRE’) totals 6.4Mt at 3.0% CuEq
for 193kt CuEq (M&I) and 8.5Mt at 3.5% CuEq for 295kt CuEq (Inferred)2
• Cygnus continues to identify drill targets through the ongoing review of historical data and drill
logs using Cygnus’ innovative custom-built AI solution
• Work is ongoi ng to incorporate the current MRE into an updated economic study which will also
reflect higher metal prices
• Chibougamau is a premier near -term development copper -gold opportunity with established
infrastructure including a 900ktpa processing facility, sealed highway, airport, regional rail
infrastructure, and 25 kV hydro power to the processing site.
Cygnus Executive Chairman David Southam said : “This wide intersection has significant
implications for our strategy to keep growing our Chibougamau resource base.
“To hit 28.9m at 2.5g/t AuEq just 200m from surface is a great outcome in any circumstance.
But this intersection is well outside the resource and highlights the potential for a new parallel
zone of mineralisation.
“We will keep the drill rigs turning as we continue to drive resource growth and push
Chibougamau towards development by advancing the economic studies”.

Cygnus Metals Limited 2
Cygnus Metals Limited (ASX: CY5; TSXV: CYG; OTCQB: CYGGF) (“Cygnus” or the “Company”) is pleased
to announce a potential new mineralised zone intersected outside of the MRE at its Chibougamau Copper -
Gold Project in Quebec.
Ongoing drilling targeting the down dip extension of the Cedar Bay deposit has intersected a wide zone of
strong mineralisation just 200m from surface, which returned:
o 28.9m @ 2.5g/t AuEq (1.0g/t Au, 1.0% Cu & 12.0g/t Ag) (CDR-25-16)
This new mineralised zone sits between the Cedar Bay and Copper Cliff historic mines in an area which has
seen little exploration and may represent an underexplored parallel lode. This encouraging r esult highlights
the strong discovery potential of the well-endowed Chibougamau District that has a standout production record
of 945,000t of copper and 3.5Moz of gold .1 Follow up drilling is expected to commence in the coming weeks
to test the extent of the mineralisation.
Recent drilling has been targeting the down plunge continuation of the Cedar Bay deposit, aiming to grow the
MRE and make Cedar Bay a key pillar in the potential development of the Chibougamau Project. The current
Cedar Bay Mineral Resource is gold -dominant and contains 67koz at 8.1g/t AuEq (Indicated) and 205koz at
7.8g/t AuEq (Inferred). 2 Drill intersections already included within the Cedar Bay Mineral Resource highlight
the significant grade and potential at Cedar Bay. These include: 4
o 15.5m @ 11.0g/t AuEq (8.6g/t Au, 1.7% Cu & 12.3g/t Ag) (CB-27-6A)
o 4.3m @ 19.7g/t AuEq (16.3g/t Au, 2.4% Cu & 13.3g/t Ag) (CB-27-3)
o 4.1m @ 13.9g/t AuEq (12.2g/t Au, 1.2% Cu & 10.0g/t Ag) (CDR-18-02W2)
o 3.7m @ 20.2g/t AuEq (14.0g/t Au, 4.4% Cu & 21.6g/t Ag) (CB-27-9)
Cygnus’s first drill hole targeting extensions to this Mineral Resource intersected a wide gold -rich zone of
mineralisation grading:3
o 10.6m @ 4.1g/t AuEq (3.6g/t Au, 0.3% Cu & 2.8g/t Ag) (CDR-25-11W1)
▪ Including 2.9m @ 6.7g/t AuEq (6.2g/t Au, 0.3% Cu & 6.3g/t Ag)
Subsequent follow-up drilling continues to delineate gold and copper rich mineralisation with recent results of:
o 2.7m @ 5.7g/t AuEq (3.2g/t Au, 1.8% Cu & 10.6g/t Ag) (CDR-25-12W2)
o 1.3m @ 9.3g/t AuEq (2.6g/t Au, 4.8% Cu & 13.9g/t Ag) (CDR-25-15)
These result s, with the addition of a potential new mineralised zone , highlight the potential for continued
resource growth across Cedar Bay. Drilling is ongoing at Cedar Bay and will continue until the end of the year.
Cygnus is continuing its exploration strategy , focussed on resource growth and resource conversion, to drive
the Chibougamau Project forward towards development and deliver maximum returns to shareholders. In the
background, the team continues to process historic data and generate additional drill targets surrounding the
known high-grade copper-gold mineralisation. This is a low-risk approach which is playing a significant role in
unlocking this prolific historic district.
The Chibougamau area has well -established infrastructure giving the Project a significant head start as a
copper-gold development opportunity. This infrastructure includes a 900,000tpa processing facility, local
mining town, sealed highway, airport, regional rail infrastructure and 25kV hydro power to the processing site.
Significantly, the Chibougamau processing facility is the only base metal processing facility within a 250km
radius which includes a number of other advanced copper and gold projects.

Notes:
1. Cygnus’ Mineral Resource Estimate for the Chibougamau Copper -Gold project, incorporating the Corner Bay, Devlin, Joe Mann,
Cedar Bay, and Golden Eye deposits, is reported in accordance with the JORC Code and the Canadian Institute of Mining,
Metallurgy and Petroleum (“CIM”) (2014) definitions in NI 43-101.
2. Mineral Resources are estimated using a long -term copper price of US$9,370/t, gold price of US$2,400/oz, a nd silver price of
US$30/oz, and a US$/C$ exchange rate of 1:1.35.
3. Mineral Resources are estimated at a CuEq cut-off grade of 1.2% for Corner Bay and 1.5% CuEq for Devlin. A cut-off grade of 1.8
g/t AuEq was used for Cedar Bay and Golden Eye; and 2.0 g/t AuEq for Joe Mann.
4. Corner Bay bulk density varies from 2.85 tonnes per cubic metre (t/m 3) to 3.02t/m3 for the estimation domains and 2.0 t/m 3 for the
overburden. At Devlin, bulk density varies from 2.85 t/m3 to 2.90 t/m3. Cedar Bay, Golden Eye, and Joe Mann use a bulk density of
2.90 t/m³ for the estimation domains.
5. Assumed metallurgical recoveries are as follows: Corner Bay copper is 93%, gold is 78%, and silver is 80%; Devlin copper is 96%,
gold is 73%, and silver is 80%; Joe Mann copper is 95%, gold is 84%, and silver is 80%; and Cedar Bay and Golden Eye copper is
91%, gold is 87%, and silver is 80%.
6. Assumptions for CuEq and AuEq calculations (set out below) are as follows: Individual metal grades are set out in the table.
Commodity prices used: copper price of US$9,370/t, gold price of US$2,400/oz and silver price of US$30/oz. Assumed metallurgical
recovery factors: set out above. It is the Company’s view that all elements in the metal equivalent calculations have a reasona ble
potential to be recovered and sold.
7. CuEq Calculations are as follows: (A) Corner Bay = grade Cu (%) + 0.68919 * grade Au (g/t) + 0.00884 * grade Ag (g/t) ; (B) Devlin
= grade Cu (%) + 0.62517 * grade Au (g/t) + 0.00862 * grade Ag (g/t); (C) Joe Mann = grade Cu (%) + 0.72774* grade Au (g/t); and
(D) Golden Eye and Cedar Bay = grade Cu (%) + 0.78730* grade Au (g/t) + 0.00905 * grade Ag (g/t).
8. AuEq Calculations are as follows: (A) Corner Bay = grade Au (g/t) + 1.45097* grade Cu(%)+0.01282* grade Ag (g/t); (B) Devlin =
grade Au (g/t) + 1.59957* grade Cu(%)+0.01379* grade Ag (g/t); (C) Joe Mann = grade Au (g/t) + 1.37411* grade Cu (%); and (D)
Cedar Bay and Golden Eye = grade Au (g/t) + 1.27016 * grade Cu (%) + 0.01149 * grade Ag (g/t).
9. Wireframes were built using an approximate minimum thickness of 2 m at Corner Bay, 1.8 m at Devlin, 1.2 m at Joe Mann, and 1.5
m at Cedar Bay and Golden Eye.
10. Mineral Resources are constrained by underground reporting shapes.
11. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
12. Totals may vary due to rounding.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random
chips, or specific specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or
handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should
not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
• All drilling conducted by Cygnus Metals at the Chibougamau Project was completed under
the supervision of a registered professional geologist as a Qualified Person (QP) who is
responsible and accountable for the planning, execution, and supervision of all exploration
activity as well as the implementation of quality assurance programs and reporting.
• All Cygnus drilling reported is NQ size (47.8 mm diameter).
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample
representativity and the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
• All sample collection, core logging, and specific gravity determinations were completed by
Cygnus Metals under the supervision of a professionally qualified registered geologist.
• NQ core was marked for splitting during logging and is sawn using a diamond core saw
with a mounted jig to assure the core is cut lengthwise into equal halves.
• Half of the cut core is placed in clean individual plastic bags with the appropriate sample
tag.
• QA/QC is done in-house by Cygnus Metals geologists with oversight from the Senior
Geologist. The check samples (blanks and standards – 4% of total samples with another
2% of core duplicates taken on half split core) that were inserted into the sample batches
are verified against their certified values and are deemed a pass if they are within 3
standard deviations of the certified value. The duplicates are evaluated against each other
to determine mineralization distribution (nugget). If there are large discrepancies in the
check samples, then the entire batch is requested to be re-assayed. The samples are then
placed in bags for shipment to the offsite laboratory’s facility.
• The remaining half of the core is retained and incorporated into Cygnus’s secure, core
library located on the property.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are
Material to the Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done
this would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation
drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg
was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’).
In other cases more explanation may be required, such
as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling
problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types
(eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of
detailed information.
• Industry standard sampling practices were used with sample lengths ranging from 0.3 m to
1.0 m and respected geological contacts. Sample tags were placed at the beginning of
each sample interval and the tag numbers were recorded in a centralised database.
• Sampling practice is considered to be appropriate to the geology and style of
mineralisation.

Drilling
techniques
Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole
hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and
details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth
of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether
core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc).
• Diamond core was drilled using surface diamond rigs with industry recognised contractors
Miikan Drilling. Miikan is a joint venture between Chibougamau Diamond Drilling Ltd., the
First Nations community of Ouje-Bougoumou and the First Nations community of Mistissini
both located in the Eeyou Istchee territory.
• Drilling was conducted using NQ core size.
• Directional surveys have been taken at 50m intervals.
• All core is oriented using a Reflex ACT III
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip
sample recoveries and results assessed.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and
ensure representative nature of the samples.
Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery
and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred
due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.
• Diamond core recovery was measured for each run and calculated as a percentage of the
drilled interval.
• Overall, the core recoveries are excellent in the Chibougamau area. As a result, no bias
exists.
Logging Whether core and chip samples have been geologically
and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support
appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies
and metallurgical studies.
• All core was geologically and geotechnically logged. Lithology, veining, alteration and
mineralisation are recorded in multiple tables of the drillhole database.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature.
Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography.
• Geological logging of core is qualitative and descriptive in nature.

Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is
representative of the in-situ material collected, including
for instance results for field duplicate/second-half
sampling.
• The NQ diameter the core was sawn in half following a sample cutting line determined by
geologists during logging and submitted for analysis on nominal 1m intervals or defined by
geological boundaries determined by the logging geologist.
• Each core sample is assigned a tag with a unique identifying number. Sample lengths are
typically one metre but can be depending on zone mineralogy and boundaries.
• This sampling technique is industry standard and deemed appropriate.
• Sample sizes are considered appropriate to grain size of the materials being sampled.
