Hayasa Metals Announces NSAMT Geophysical Results for Urasar Copper-Gold Project, Armenia
Hayasa Metals Announces NSAMT
Geophysical Results for Urasar Copper-Gold
Project, Armenia
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 8, 2025) - Hayasa Metals Inc. (TSXV: HAY)
(OTCQB: HAYAF) ("
Hayasa
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to announce that it has received the final
Natural Source Audio Magnetotelluric ("NSAMT") sections from a three-line 26-station trial NSMAT
survey executed at the Urasar copper-gold project in July 2025.
In the coming weeks, Hayasa expects to receive and release assay results from the 2025 2,040m drill
program completed at Urasar in July 2025.
NSAMT Survey
The NSAMT survey was undertaken by Terratec Geophysical Services GmbH & Co. based in
Heitersheim, Germany.
The survey was executed as the 2025 drilling campaign was nearing completion
in July 2025.
The survey comprised three lines over the western part of the license (Yellow River zone),
spaced approximately 1.1 km apart and 500m to 600m on either side of the IP lines that were surveyed
in June 2024.

NSAMT is a passive electromagnetic imaging technique using the earth's electromagnetic field to map
geologic contacts and structures by induction. The technique uses thunderstorms and electric currents in
the ionosphere, which are created by the interaction of the solar plasma with the geomagnetic field, as a
source of signals. The resulting natural, time-varying primary magnetic fields produce electric currents in
the Earth's sub-surface, which generate secondary magnetic fields. These measurements can be used
to calculate a
resistivity
model of the subsurface. Magnetotelluric surveys can generally look deeper
than normal IP surveys, although they only measure resistivity and do not measure chargeability.
The
ability to identify geologic features varies with depth and depends upon target size, resistivity contrasts
and contact geometry.
The three lines were situated in the western section of the license, known as the Yellow River area, which
hosts the Golden Vein, Copper Creek and Oxide Basin mineralized zones. The lines were situated
north-south to create profiles perpendicular to the local east-west geological and structural trends.
The results show low resistivity anomalies (corresponding to conductive areas) at the south ends of the
profiles, towards the river valley, although the anomalies do extend somewhat to the north, where
alteration and mineralization crops out at surface and where recent drilling has intersected sulfide
mineralization.
Of particular interest is the discrete resistivity low seen in profile 3.
When recent drill holes
are projected (up to 200m on either side of the line: a reasonably long distance) onto this profile as
shown in Figure 3 below, it suggests that one or more of these holes may have stopped short of a
conductive, perhaps sulfide rich zone.

Also of interest are the high resistivity zones coupled with discrete low resistivity anomalies at the north
end of the lines, which correspond to the high chargeability anomalies seen in the 2024 IP profiles, as
displayed in Figure 4 below.

Hayasa Management comments
Hayasa President and QP Dennis Moore states:
"Our work to date indicates that the controls on
mineralization at Urasar are structurally complex despite being situated within a well-defined east-west
corridor. We are still working to determine the exact nature of the mineral system present at Urasar. In
the Yellow River zone, located in the western part of the license area, potassic alteration and
suspected actinolite alteration are observed in the drill core—features that may point to a porphyry-
style system at depth. In contrast, the eastern portion of the license, particularly at the Black River
target, significant intervals of massive sulfide mineralization—up to 40 meters thick—were intersected
in drill holes UDD-016 and UDD-017. Further analysis is ongoing. Samples from Yellow River have
been submitted for petrographic analysis, while geochemical results from the recent drilling campaign
are expected to provide important insights into the mineralogical genesis.
Moore continues,
"The 2024 IP survey, along with the recent magnetotelluric data, has revealed
several large, untested geophysical anomalies—especially to the north of our current area of focus.
Evaluating these prospective targets will be a key objective of our 2026 exploration program, which is
expected to include multiple deep drill holes aimed at testing these anomalies."
Hayasa CEO, Joel Sutherland, states,
"Figure 3 makes a good case for a deeper hole at Copper
Creek in 2026, particularly if the assays confirm what we can see visually in the core.
The select
photos below from UDD-010, UDD-011 and UDD-012, are encouraging and when we get the assays
back in a few weeks, we'll be able to complement the core data with the MT survey that will help us in
planning the 2026 drilling campaign at Urasar."
