Finlay Minerals completes Field Work on

Newly Identified Geophysical Targets on the

SAY and JJB Properties

VANCOUVER, BC

Sept. 22, 2025

/CNW/ -

Finlay Minerals Ltd.

(TSXV: FYL) (OTCQB: FYMNF)

("Finlay" or the "Company")

is pleased to announce that the results from airborne magnetic

surveys conducted over the SAY and JJB properties (refer to

Figure 1

), have identified significant

northwest- and northeast-trending structures. These structures resemble those found in the

Toodoggone area of

British Columbia

, which is recognized for its potential to host larger porphyry

and epithermal deposits. A total of 1,900 kilometres ("km") of airborne magnetic survey data was

collected over the two properties.

properties (CNW Group/Finlay Minerals Ltd.)

Follow-up groundwork at the SAY property focused on the IFT target, where a large circular

magnetic anomaly, measuring 2.5 km by 2.5 km, was identified. This anomaly displays geophysical

signatures similar to those observed in other copper porphyry deposits. Additionally, a second

kilometre-scale target, known as Ozzy, was identified. Ozzy is located at the intersection of a

northeast-trending magnetic anomaly and a northwest-trending magnetic anomaly. Further follow-up

work is planned for both targets.

The SAY property was acquired in 2024, and an inaugural field program concentrated on chip

sampling and mapping along the 4.3-kilometer-long SPUR Trend last summer. This effort led to the

discovery of the

200 m

copper-silver mineralized AG Zone and confirmed the continuity of

high-grade copper-silver mineralization at the Spur Target. Chip sampling at the AG Zone included

9.5 metres

0.94% Cu

and

18.1 g/t Ag

The JJB property was staked in February, 2025 for its porphyry potential. Three main copper

showings—Squingula, Quin, and Pat—have been identified. Squingula and Quin are located near an

Eocene intrusion on the western side, and show a coincident magnetic high linked to a multi-element

geochemical anomaly from limited sampling. This summer, fieldwork focused on the PAT target, one

of three potential targets. This work aimed to evaluate the similarities between the high-grade

copper-silver mineralization found at JJB and the SPUR/AG targets within the SAY Property.

SAY & JJB Project Highlights:

SAY 2025 Program

JJB 2025 Program

• Over 1,200 line-km of airborne magnetics

• Completion of Finlay's inaugural field program

• Completion of property-wide LiDAR survey

• Completion of satellite mineral alteration survey (PhotoSat)

• 84 rock samples collected

• 700 line-km of airborne magnetics

• 307 soil samples collected

• 18 rock samples collected

• 275 biogeochemistry samples collected

• 35 soil and talus samples collected

Processing of the LiDAR and satellite mineral alteration data is on-going. All field samples have

been submitted to the laboratory for analysis with results pending.

Situated in the underexplored

Bear Lake

corridor, the SAY and JJB projects are part of a 135-

kilometre geological corridor that includes American Eagle Gold's NAK project, as well as Amarc

Resources and Boliden Mineral Canada's DUKE copper-molybdenum-silver-gold prospects.

PIL and ATTY Project Updates:

Exploration work at the PIL and ATTY Toodoggone projects is on-going and anticipated to be

completed within the next two weeks with continued induced polarization geophysical surveys. The

PIL and ATTY work is fully funded by Freeport-McMoRan Mineral Properties Canada Inc. under

their respective Earn-In Agreements

with Finlay acting as the operator.

About Finlay Minerals Ltd.

Finlay is a TSXV company focused on exploration for base and precious metal deposits through the

advancement of its ATTY, PIL, JJB, SAY and Silver Hope Properties; these properties host copper-

gold porphyry and gold-silver epithermal targets within different porphyry districts of northern and

central BC. Each property is located in areas of recent development and porphyry discoveries with

the advantage of hosting the potential for new discoveries.

Finlay trades under the symbol "FYL" on the TSXV and under the symbol "FYMNF" on the OTCQB.
