Etruscus Launches Inaugural Drill Program at Zappa Porphyry Target in Golden Triangle
ETRUSCUS LAUNCHES INAUGURAL DRILL
PROGRAM AT ZAPPA PORPHYRY TARGET
IN GOLDEN TRIANGLE
Vancouver, BC – July 10, 202 5 – Etruscus Resources Corp. (CSE: ETR) (OTC:
ETRUF) (FSE:ERR) (the “Company” or “Etruscus”) is pleased to announce the
commencement of its inaugural drill program (the “Program”) at the Zappa Target, a high-
priority copper-gold porphyry prospect located on the Company’s 100% -owned Rock &
Roll Property in British Columbia’s prolific Golden Triangle. The Program represents a
significant milestone as the Company tests a hydrothermal system with significant
discovery potential.
The Program is scheduled to begin on July 15, 2025, and will consist of up to 2,000 metres
of diamond drilling . The Zappa Target is a geophysical and geochemical anomaly that
provides many key markers of a copper-gold porphyry system and has never been drilled.
The Program is designed to test hydrothermal alteration and discrete chargeability
anomalies with 3 to 5 drill holes planned across a 1.3 km alteration zone (See Etruscus
Resources’ news release February 19, 2025)
“We are extremely excited to commence our first ever drill program at the Zappa Target”
commented Fiore Aliperti, President and CEO of Etruscus Resources. “In a region as
well-endowed as the Golden Triangle, it’s exceptional to have an untested hydrothermal
system with such compelling geological and geophysical signatures. The recent glacial
retreat has provided us with greater access to previously hidden mineralization, and we
believe Zappa represents one of the most promising copper-gold porphyry targets in the
region. We look forward to sharing results with our shareholders as we unlock the
potential of this property.”
Key Highlights:
• First-ever drilling at Zappa Target following extensive geophysical and
geochemical surveys
• Up to 2,000 metres of diamond drilling planned across 3-5 strategically positioned
holes
• 1.3 km alteration zone with rob ust chargeability anomalies and surface
mineralization
• Located on the newly inter preted Bronson Porphyry Trend, near to Seabridge
Gold’s active 8,000 m drill program at Snip North (See Seabridge Gold’s news
release June 3, 2025).
• Glacier retreat has recently exposed previously inaccessible alteration zone
Drilling will be conducted by ITL Diamond Drilling Ltd., based out of Smithers BC with the
drill rig arriving on site next week. The Company holds all necessary permits and is ready
to execute an efficient, well -coordinated campaign. Initial results are expected by early
September, to be released upon completion of interpretational work.

Property Exploration
The Program will also include surface exploration across several high-priority areas,
involving geological mapping and rock sampling at select targets. This includes continued
work on the newly identified Hendrix rare earth element (REE) target, where the team is
delineating a large-scale critical mineral anomaly with the potential to host significant REE
mineralization. Other key targets include the Kashmir molybdenum porphyry system and
the Heather high-grade gold prospect.
