Enduro Metals Announces Results of Rock Sampling at the Newmont Lake Project, Golden Triangle, BC
Large Copper-Gold System Confirmed at Andrei; High-Grade Gold up to 113 g/t Au Identified at Camp Zone
January 8, 2026, Vancouver, British Columbia - Enduro Metals Corporation (TSXV: ENDR) (“Enduro”, “Enduro
Metals” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce results from its 2025 rock sampling program at its 100%
owned Newmont Lake Project in the heart of British Columbia’s Golden Triangle. Assays confirmed the discovery
of a large, newly recognized porphyry copper-gold system at the Andrei target with widespread copper and gold
values. Additionally, exceptionally high-grade gold and silver samples underscored the potential of un -drilled
areas from the Camp Zone within the McLymont area.
The 2025 program, conducted from July through September, focused on the Andrei porphyry Cu-Au target and
structurally controlled epithermal and skarn gold targets in the Mc Lymont area, a region that includes the
historic NW Zone resource, and the nearby Camp Zone . The Newmont Lake project is one of the largest
contiguous claim packages (688 square km) in the Golden Triangle strategically located near major porphyry
copper-gold (Cu -Au) development projects, including Galore Creek (Newmont - Teck Resources) and KSM
(Seabridge Gold), as well as past-producing high grade gold mines at Snip and Eskay Creek (currently being put
back into production by Skeena Gold & Silver). Seabridge Gold's recent North Snip porphyry discovery lies near
the southern property boundary. (see Figures 1 & 2)
2025 Highlights:
Andrei Porphyry Copper-Gold Target
• Widespread copper mineralization, with highest grade samples exceeding 10% Cu;
• 25% of samples returned values above 0.1% Cu, confirming extensive mineralized footprint;
• Mineralization occurs in potassic-altered monzonite intrusions and adjacent volcanic rocks, consistent
with the margins of a large porphyry Cu-Au system;
• Mineralization occurs on the flanks of a 4km long, open -ended IP chargeability anomaly interpreted
to represent a porphyry Cu-Au center buried beneath faulted cover rocks;
• Andrei correlates with a strong magnetic high anomaly, part of a 14 km long corridor that also includes
the FK and Southmore porphyry targets;
• 2026 drill program is in advanced planning.
McLymont / Camp Zone Gold Targets
• Rock samples at Camp Zone returned gold values of up to 110 g/t gold with 142 g/t silver
• Results confirm the presence of high -grade gold mineralization in an area of historical exploration
significance prior to the discovery of the NW Zone
• Camp Zone m ineralization interpreted as structurally controlled, associated with alteration and
veining along the McGilvery Fault, a significant regional structure running parallel to the McLymont
Fault.
Rob Cameron, CEO of Enduro Metals, commented: “The Andrei target represents the most compelling copper-
gold opportunity identified to date on the Newmont Lake Project. The combination of strong surface copper
mineralization on the flanks of a large 4km IP anomaly and coincident magnetic anomalies support s our
interpretation of a major buried porphyry copper-gold system. These results are directly shaping drill targeting
as we advance toward an inaugural drill program in 2026. At the Camp Zone, exceptionally high gold grades
reaffirm the prospectivity of an area that was a focus of early exploration before attention shifted to the NW
Zone.”

2025 Work Program:
A total of 351 rock samples were collected across the Newmont Lake Project during the 2025 field season . A
total of 176 samples from the Andrei target area, which is a large, low-elevation, and easily accessible porphyry
copper gold target located in the northern portion of the property. Additional sampling included targets within
the McClymont gold structure and within the Camp zone structurally controlled vein system. R econnaissance
samples were collected a number of other sites on the property.

The Andrei target was also covered by IP and magnetic surveys in 2025. The surveys outlined an open-ended
4.0 km by 1.2 km zone of elevated chargeability coincid ent with high resistivity and high magnetic values
centered on the central ridge. The copper occurrences sampled are located on the flanks of th is geophysical
feature, with the core of the anomaly buried beneath post mineral cover (see press release dated October 6,
2025 Enduro Metals Geophysics Defines 4 km Andrei Target at Newmont Lake).
Samples collected in 2025 were primarily grab samples . Such samples are selective in nature and are not
necessarily representative of the overall mineralized system but are effective in identifying areas of potential
cohesive mineralization. (see Table 1)
Andrei Geology and Mineralization:
Detailed rock sampling at Andrei was focused primarily on newly exposed bedrock revealed by glacial retreat,
together with sampling of adjacent porphyry targets . Results identified widespread copper mineralization
associated with highly altered monzonite intrusions and surrounding volcanic rocks. When combined with
Enduro’s previous sampling and results from previous operators , the 2025 program successfully delineated a
large and semi-continuous zone of elevated to high copper mineralization with locally elevated gold values (see
Figures 3 & 4 & Table 1). Geological mapping indicates that the Andrei porphyry system is centred on a dense
network of potassic -altered monzonite dikes and plugs intruding basalt and andesite volcanic rocks. This
monzonite complex correlates well with magnetic highs that define a 14 km long corridor of prospective
porphyry copper-gold potential.
Andrei is a low-sulphur mineralized system where magnetite and minor hematite are the dominant alteration
minerals, occurring in replacement zones, breccia infill and vein networks. Alteration is characterized by an
inner-propylitic assemblage of magnetite, chlorite, pyrite stockworks, epidote and quartz veins, with copper
mineralization occurring primary as chalcopyrite with minor bornite. A cross-cutting iron-carbonate vein system
contains visible copper minerals (chalcopyrite and bornite) which are locally gold bearing.
Copper grades are locally very high, occurring within discrete chalcopyrite-rich veins up to several centimeters
in thickness, related to intense magnetite alteration and later-stage quartz iron carbonate veins. Broad zones of
highly anomalous copper ( 0.1% Cu and above ) are locally associated with thin quartz vein st ockworks and
sheeted vein zones with accompanying magnetite and chalcopyrite and lessor pyrite , hosted within potassic
altered monzonite and intense magnetite-chlorite-and minor epidote altered basalt wallrock. Gold values are
lower within monzonite hosted mineralization but are locally enriched within larger vein and replacement zones
(see Figure 5). M ineralization is best developed along the contacts of a swarm of large, dyke -like monzonite
intrusions, which are separated by lessor mineralized basalts and or lessor mineralized and altered monzonite
bodies. The 2025 IP survey outlined a continuous body of high chargeability beneath the ridge that connects the
northern and southern surface showings, suggesting a coalescence of mineralized zones at depth over a strike
length of 4 km.

McLymont / Camp Zone Rock Samples:
A total of 54 rock samples were collected from the McLymont area in 2025, including 32 samples from the Camp
Zone (see Figure 6). Rock sampling at the Camp Zone returned high -grade gold values from narrow sub-meter
quartz pyrite veins within shear zones of up to 113 g/t Au with142 g/t Ag, highlighting the area as a high-priority
target for follow-up exploration. The Camp Zone was a focus of early exploration by previous operators, prior
to the discovery of the NW Zone. This work in the late 1980’s included trenching and drilling that returned
similar (unverified) gold mineralization but was not followed up as the program shifted to the newly discovered
NW Zone. Historical drilling at Camp Zone w as shallow using small diameter core with only visually selected
zones being sampled at the time. The Camp Zone is interpreted to be structurally controlled and associated
with alteration and veining along the McLymont structural corridor, and particularly the McGilvary Fault. Enduro
considers the Camp Zone, in conjunction with the broader McLymont area, to represent a compelling high-grade
gold opportunity complementary to the Company’s porphyry copper-gold focus at Andrei.

Other Areas of Interest
Reconnaissance sampling was also conducted at several other targets across the Newmont Lake Project,
including Twin, Orange, Burgundy, and Chachi. These areas remain prospective for multiple mineral deposit
styles and will continue to be evaluated as part of Enduro’s systematic, district-scale exploration strategy.
The Twin target (see Figure 7), located at the southwest corner of the property in an area of limited historical
exploration covers a potential seven k ilometre extension of the Bronson trend, a 14 -kilometre alignment of
porphyry and porphyry-related deposits that extends from the Quartz Rise deposit northwest to the Snip North
deposit that was discovered in 2024 by Seabridge Gold. A high-resolution magnetic survey completed over the
Twin target indicates clusters of discreet and linear magnetic highs suggesting the presence of intrusive bodies.
A small program of rock and soil and silt sampling was completed in the area in 2025 and returned two strings
of weakly anomalous copper in soil and a single gold in soil value of 78 ppb. This later sample is immediately
downslope from a discrete magnetic anomaly. There is limited bedrock exposure in part due to young volcanic
flows and ash layers which may also contribute to the low geochemical soil response.
