INVENTUS REPORTS 4.18 GPT GOLD AND 1.48 METRE AVERAGE FOR INITIAL

TRENCH 1 NORTH GRADE CONTROL DRILLING AND PROVIDES UPDATE ON

BULK SAMPLE OPERATION

TORONTO, ONTARIO (August 6, 2025) – Inventus Mining Corp. (TSXV: IVS) (“Inventus” or

the “Company”) is pleased to report initial results from grade control drilling at its Trench 1 North

Bulk Sample Site and provide an update on bulk sample operation at its 100%-owned Pardo Gold

Project, located 65 km northeast of Sudbury, Ontario.

Highlights

• Results from the Trench 1 North Bulk Sample Site identified 10,000 tonnes with an initial

weighted average grade and thickness of 4.18 gpt gold and 1.48 metres (Figure 1).

• Notable drill intercepts from the Trench 1 North Bulk Sample Site include:

12.61 gpt gold over 1.68 metres

10.54 gpt gold over 1.55 metres

9.38 gpt gold over 1.63 metres

6.53 gpt gold over 1.50 metres

5.75 gpt gold over 1.66 metres

• Grade control drilling for two additional bulk sample sites, Trench 1 South and Eastern

Reef are now complete for a total of 78 holes to identify an additional 20,000 tonnes

within 6 metres of surface for bulk sampling (Figure 2).

• Extraction and delivery of the 007 North bulk sample with a drilled weighted average grade

and thickness of 3.84 gpt gold and 1.82 metres (see news June 4, 2025 ) to McEwen’s

Stock Mill is complete for a total of 4,756 tonnes with an anticipated processing date in

August.

• Extraction of the 10,000-tonne Trench 1 Bulk Sample with a drilled weighted average

grade and thickness of 4.10 gpt gold and 1.78 metres (see news July 7, 2025 ) is

underway with delivery anticipated by the end of August.

Drilling Update

Grade-control drilling at the Trench 1 North Site consisted of 52 shallow holes targeting the flat-

lying gold mineralization for bulk sampling (Table 1 and Figure 1). Holes were drilled at 7.5-metre

centres to identify a zone of approximately 10,000 tonnes for the third planned bulk sample. Assay

results from the initial 20 holes within the identified pit area had a weighted average grade and

2

thickness of 4.18 gpt gold and 1.48 metres (see Figure 1 and Table 1). Final results from the

Trench 1 North bulk sample site are expected shortly and will be released when available.

Grade-control drilling at the Trench 1 South and Eastern Reef Bulk Sample Site s are now

complete (Figure 2). A total of 78 holes were drilled at 7.5 metre centres within 6 metres of the

surface to define an additional 20,000 tonnes for bulk sampling.

Initial Phase 2 resource drilling, consisting of 4 holes to the northwest (Figure 2) have been

completed. The Phase 2 resource drilling is part of the Company’s larger plan to extend the gold

mineralization where it remains open in preparation for a maiden resource estimate on the

property.

Assay r esults from th e remaining grade control drilling and Phase 2 resource drilling will be

released once they become available.

Bulk Sample Program Update

The 007 North Bulk Sample has been successfully extracted and delivered to McEwen’s Stock

Mill for a total tonnage of 4,756 tonnes. The processing date of this sample is expected in August.

Extraction of the 10-000-tonne Trench 1 Bulk Sample is currently underway. The waste has been

blasted and removed, and ore is currently being extracted with crushing and trucking expected

shortly. The Trench 1 bulk sample is expected to be delivered to McEwen’s Stock Mill by the end

of August. Additional updates and results of the program will be provided as the program

advances.

Wesley Whymark, President and Head of Exploration comments: “We are pleased to report

another strong result from our ongoing bulk sampling program at Pardo. The initial grade control

drilling from the Trench 1 North bulk sample site is again validating the high-grade nature and

consistency of our near-surface, flat-lying mineralization. With over 25,000 tonnes now identified

and in various stages of extraction and delivery to McEwen’s Stock Mill, this program is rapidly

advancing our understanding of Pardo’s economics and setting the stage for a future resource

estimate. We are building strong momentum, and I couldn’t be more excited about what lies ahead

for Inventus and our shareholders.”

Qualified Person

The Qualified Person responsible for the technical content of this news release is Inventus’

President and Head of Exploration, Wesley Whymark, P.Geo., who has reviewed and approved

the technical disclosure in this news release on behalf of the Company.

Technical Information

Drill core samples collected by Inventus and described in this news release were subject to a

variety of QA/QC protocols. PQ Size drill core was placed in core boxes by the contracted drill

crew and then transported by Inventus personnel to a secure processing facility in Sudbury,

Ontario. The core was then reviewed with core metreage blocks checked to verify core integrity,

recovery and geologically logged with samples marked. Whole c ore samples were then

photographed and inserted into a clean plastic bag with a sample tag. Certified reference

materials were inserted into the sample stream at a rate of no less than 10%. Samples were then

transported in secure sealed bags with security tags for preparation and assay by MSA Labs in

Val d’Or, Quebec. All samples reported were crushed in their entirety to 80% passing 2 mm . A

subsample comprising 2 kg was riffle split and pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns (-200 mesh).

The 2kg pulverized subsample is then riffle split into one 300- to 500-g jar for gold analysis by

PhotonAssay. MSA Labs is an ISO 17025:2017 accredited geochemical testing laboratory.
