Etruscus Reviews ROCK & Roll Porphyry Potential Following Seabridge’S Snip North Resource
ETRUSCUS REVIEWS ROCK & ROLL PORPHYRY
POTENTIAL FOLLOWING SEABRIDGE’S SNIP NORTH
RESOURCE
Vancouver, BC – June 4, 2026 – Etruscus Resources Corp. (CSE: ETR) (OTC:
ETRUF) (FSE: ERR) (“Etruscus” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an
exploration update regarding its 100%-owned Rock & Roll Property (“Rock & Roll” or the
“Property”) located in the Golden Triangle region of northwestern British Columbia.
The update follows the recent maiden mineral resource estimate announced by
neighbouring operator Seabridge Gold Inc. for its Snip North deposit, part of the Bronson
Corridor Project located immediately southeast of Rock & Roll.
Seabridge reported an inferred mineral resource at Snip North totaling 9.2 million ounces
of gold, 28.3 million ounces of silver, and 923 million pounds of copper hosted within
altered sedimentary and volcaniclastic rocks of the Triassic Stuhini Group and interpreted
as part of a bulk -tonnage magmatic -hydrothermal copper -gold porphyry system ( see
news release dated April 15, 2026).
The Bronson Corridor has been recognized for more than a decade as a significant
structurally controlled and mineralized belt within the Iskut region (see BCGS Geofile
2015-4), historically interpreted to terminate south of the Iskut River at the past-producing
Snip and Johnny Mountain gold mines. The discovery and subsequent delineation of the
Snip North deposit north of the Iskut River, suggests the mineralized corridor may extend
farther northwest than previously recognized. Rock & Roll is situated along the interpreted
northwest continuation of this trend and shares the same Stuhini Group volcano -
sedimentary host rocks associated with mineraliz ation at Snip North. The Company
believes the evolving geological interpretation at Snip North has important implications
for exploration across Rock & Roll. Despite extensive historical exploration in the region,
Snip North was not initially recognized as a significant porphy ry-related system,
highlighting the potential for significant mineralized systems to remain concealed beneath
subtle or distal surface expressions.
Rock & Roll Property Targets
Several targets at Rock & Roll exhibit characteristics consistent with intrusive -related
hydrothermal systems and may represent distal or upper -level expressions of porphyry
mineralization, including:
• Blackdog – hosts stratabound sulphide mineralization historically interpreted as
VMS-style mineralization, but which may share similarities with stratabound
mineralization associated with the Snip North hydrothermal system;
• Kashmir – exhibits porphyry-style alteration and a broad footprint of anomalous
copper, gold, and molybdenum mineralization, including rock samples grading up
to 5,970 ppm Cu, 51.3 g/t Au, and 0.86% Mo;
• Heather – hosts a 1.0 km by 0.6 km Au -Cu-Mo soil anomaly and gold -silver
epithermal veins associated with two induced polarization (“IP”) chargeability
anomalies exceeding 25 mV/V;
• Stardust – characterized by an extensive quartz -sericite-pyrite (“QSP”) alteration
system coincident with magnetic, resistivity, and chargeability anomalies;
• Zappa – exhibits porphyry -style alteration and mineralization identified through
drilling, including a 600 m by 300 m chargeability anomaly extending to surface
beneath a 1.1 km-wide QSP alteration footprint;
• North Gossan – characterized by a 400 m diameter QSP alteration footprint
associated with anomalous gold geochemistry; and
• Hammer – hosts magnetite -chalcopyrite skarn mineralization, including rock
samples grading up to 8.3% Cu, and is associated with a 300 m -wide magnetic-
high anomaly that may indicate proximity to an intrusive source.
Collectively, these targets represent a broad spectrum of mineralization styles and
alteration systems commonly associated with porphyry environments, including
epithermal veining, skarn mineralization, stratabound sulphide replacement, extensive
QSP alteration, and porphyry-style geochemical and geophysical signatures. While each
target remains at a different stage of exploration, their distribution along the interpreted
northwest continuation of the Bronson Corridor warrants systematic re -evaluation within
the context of the evolving geological model emerging from Snip North.
The recognition of Snip North as a large, concealed porphyry -related system
demonstrates that significant mineralized centres can remain undiscovered despite
extensive historical exploration. This supports the application of modern geological
interpretation and deep-penetrating geophysical techniques to evaluate the potential for
additional porphyry-related systems across the Rock & Roll Property.

Fiore Aliperti, President and CEO of Etruscus, commented:
“The maiden resource at Snip North is a significant development for the region and further
supports the interpretation that the Bronson Corridor mineralized belt extends farther
northwest than previously recognized . The proximity of the discovery to our property,
combined with shared host geology and multiple intrusive-related targets identified across
Rock & Roll, reinforces our belief that the property remains highly prospective for
additional discoveries. We are particularly encouraged by the evolving understanding of
Snip North as a concealed porphyry -related system, as several targets on our propert y
display geological, alteration, and geophysical characteristics that warrant further
evaluation under a similar exploration model.”
Planned 2026 Exploration Strategy
The advancement of the Snip North deposit provides an important geological framework
for evaluating the exploration potential of the Rock & Roll Property. In particular, the
recognition of Snip North as a large porphyry-related system with relatively subtle surface
expression highlights the importance of reassessing historical datasets for indicators of
concealed mineralization.
As a first step, Etruscus has initiated a comprehensive compilation and review of historical
geological, geochemical, geophysical, and drilling data across the Property. The objective
of this work is to evaluate existing targets within a district-scale geological framework and
identify characteristics that may indicate the presence of concealed intrusive centres and
associated hydrothermal systems.
Following completion of the review, the Company expects to prioritize target areas for
additional geophysical investigation. Airborne and ground -based surveys, including
ZTEM and Magnetotelluric (“MT”) methods, are being evaluated to identify resistivity,
conductivity, and magnetic signatures that may be associated with concealed porphyry
systems. Particular attention will be directed toward areas with limited historical deep -
penetrating geophysical coverage, including portions of the Property adjacent to t he
interpreted northwest continuation of the Bronson Corridor.
Targets including Zappa, Blackdog, Heather, Stardust, Hammer, Kashmir, and North
Gossan will be assessed as part of this process. These targets exhibit varying
combinations of porphyry -style alteration, sulphide mineralization, geochemical
anomalies, skarn development, and geophysical responses that may represent vectors
toward larger intrusive-related systems at depth.
Results from the compilation and geophysical programs will be used to refine exploration
priorities and guide future field programs, including geological mapping, geochemical
surveys, and drill targeting. The Company believes this systematic approach will
strengthen its evaluation of the broader porphyry potential of the Rock & Roll Property
and its position along the interpreted northwest continuation of the Bronson Corridor
mineralized belt.
