Quantum Provides Exceptional High-Grade Silver at Babine South
Re-Assays Confirm Up to 308 oz/t (9,580 gpt) Ag
Vancouver, BC – January 14, 2025 – Quantum Critical Metals Corp. (TSX.V: LEAP | OTCQB: ATOXF | FSE:
86A1) (“ Quantum” or the “ Company”) report s high-grade silver results from surface sampling at its
Babine South property in British Columbia, including independent re-assay confirmation of bonanza-grade
silver up to 308 oz/t (9,580 gpt) Ag.
“These results confirm the exceptional silver potential of the Babine South project, underscoring both the
exploration upside and the broader scale opportunity. Silver has moved firmly into the global spotlight as
demand accelerates across AI and quantum computing, the defense sector, and the build-out of modern
power infrastructure. Record-high silver prices further highlight its importance as a strategic metal. The
re-analysis and independent confirmation of extremely high- grade silver mineralization provide a strong
technical basis for advancing Babine South to its next phase of exploration.” said Marcy Kiesman, CEO.
2025 Sampling Highlights
Surface rock sampling from the 2025 field program returned silver values ranging from 10.9 ppm to 1,150
ppm (0.35 to 36.97 oz/t Ag), accompanied by anomalous base metals:
• Silver: up to 36.97 oz/t
• Zinc: up to 13,500 ppm (1.35%)
• Lead: up to 3,710 ppm (0.37%)
Why This Matters for Investors
- Bonanza-grade silver confirmed by independent laboratory
- Multiple high-grade surface occurrences
- Polymetallic system with zinc and lead credits
- Located in a top-tier Canadian mining jurisdiction
- Leverage to silver amid a global supply deficit
- Silver added to the critical metal list in 2025 in USA
Planned next steps on the Babine South property include expanded geological mapping, targeted surface
sampling and an induced polarization (IP) survey. These programs are expected to refine the existing
geophysical and geochemical anomalies and help further delineate priority drill targets for the 2026
exploration season.

Table 1. 2025 Surface Rock Sample Assays – Anomalous Results
Notes:
• All samples are select grab samples and may not be representative of mineralization on the
property.
• Silver values reported in troy ounces per tonne (oz/t) and parts per million (ppm).
• 1 oz/t Ag = 31.1034768 ppm Ag.
• “n/a” indicates element not analyzed or below detection limits.
Grab samples are selective by nature and may not represent the true underlying mineralization. The
reported results are from surface rock samples only and do not constitute a mineral resource or reserve.
Re-Assay Confirmation of 2024 High-Grade Samples
Previous sampling completed in late 2024 returned silver assays as high as 110 oz/t (3,430 gpt), along with
elevated zinc and copper values ( https://www.quantumcriticalmetals.com/blogs/news/durango-assays-
as-high-as-3-9-gpt-gold-3430-gpt-110-oz-t-silver-8-86-zinc-and-1-copper-from-samples-at-babine-south-
bc).
To re-confirm these high- grade results, four representative samples from the 2024 program were re-
assayed at a second independent laboratory in 2025 and confirmed silver values ranging from 212.84 to
308.00 oz/t. The samples were analyzed by SGS Canada Minerals, Lakefield, using SGS Method
GC_FAG32V (30 g Fire Assay for Silver). SGS Lakefield operates in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025
standards. Table 2 summarizes the results.

Table 2. Re-Assay Results – 2024 Surface Samples (SGS Lakefield)
These samples were collected near historic workings on the property. One sample is labeled “tailings” ,
representing discarded material from historical mining activity.
Notes:
• Samples above were originally collected during the 2024 surface sampling program and re -
analyzed for quality control purposes.
• Samples labeled “tailings” represent historical discard material from nearby workings and are not
indicative of current mining operations.
• SGS Lakefield is certified to ISO/IEC 17025 standards.
• Re-assaying was conducted to confirm previously reported high-grade silver values.

reported results are from surface rock samples only and do not constitute a mineral resource or reserve.
About the Babine South Project
The Babine South property covers four mineral claims and is approximately 1,070 ha. The geology of the
Babine South project area includes phyllite, marble and dioritic and monzonitic volcanic and igneous
rocks. Four phases of veining run through the area and are cross cutting. The deposit is thought to be
epithermal however historically t here was some association of the veining with the foliation and shear
zones. Mineralization includes quartz -carbonate veins including native silver, galena, sphalerite,
tetrahedrite, argentite, chalcopyrite. MINFILE Mineral Inventory. For more information on the Company’s
