BeMetals Drilling Outlines Ingwe Shoot and Intersects New Nkala Northwest Zone
At Pangeni Copper Project, Zambia
Vancouver, B.C. – BeMetals Corp. (TSXV: BMET, OTCQB: BMTLF, Frankfurt: 1OI.F) (“BeMetals” or the “Company”) is
pleased to announce the results of the recently completed core drilling program at the Pangeni Copper Project
(“Pangeni” or the “Project” or the “Property”) in Zambia. The core drilling has outlined and defined the continuity of
the Ingwe shoot and Nkala Zone copper mineralization. In addition, exploration drillhole D8-C1 completed some 1
kilometre from the main Nkala Zone trend, at the Nkala northwest target, has returned encouraging geological and
alteration relationships with anomalous copper intervals, emphasizing the under-explored potential beneath the thin
Kalahari sand cover.
The results of core drilling to date at the D -Prospect have outlined the Ingwe shoot copper mineralization with
approximate dimensions of 600 metres long, 14 to 23 metres thick, and 250 to 350 metres wide. This higher-grade
Ingwe shoot is developed within the Nkala Zone copper mineralization that extends for at least 1.4 kilometres along
trend and is itself associated with a larger envelope of mineralization some 1.7 kilometres in length (See Figure 1)(1).
Drilling Highlights to Date:
• Outlined the Ingwe Shoot as a higher-grade copper zone with dimensions of approximately 600
metres long, 14 to 23 metres thick, and 250–350 metres wide.
• The Ingwe Shoot is within the broader Nkala Zone, which now spans at least 1.4 kilometres along
trend of the larger mineralized corridor over 1.7 kilometres in length.
• Drill hole D8-C1 has intersected promising geology and copper anomalies under the shallow cover
at the new Nkala Northwest target.
John Wilton, President and CEO of BeMetals, commented:
“The core drilling results from the recent 2025 program at the Pangeni Project have helped to further define the trend
and continuity of both the Ingwe shoot and Nkala Zone copper mineralization discovered by the Company’s
exploration team. The copper mineralization is sedimentary rock-hosted and bears many hallmarks in terms of style,
width, grade and geology of deposits that are currently mined in the Domes Region of the Zambian Copperbelt.”
In June, an independent technical review was completed by advisor Dr. Richard Sillitoe to validate the interpretation
of the drilling results from the 2024 and initial 2025 programs. Dr. Sillitoe remarked: “It is now clear that the Nkala
Zone, including its Ingwe shoot, is a significant greenfield copper discovery – the first in Zambia for several decades –
that, if substantially augmented by additional drill intercepts, has the geological potential to attain meaningful scale.

Furthermore, the promising geological relationships observed in drill hole D8 -C1 also emphasize the potential for
additional copper-mineralized bodies under the shallow Kalahari sand cover at the Pangeni Copper Project."
Figure 1 below shows a map of the D -Prospect drilling to date with contours that represent the relative copper
content (width multiplied by grade) of mineralization intersected in the core drilling. The shallow aircore drill holes
originally completed to test bedrock below the sand cover are also shown.
As illustrated the Ingwe Shoot is now interpreted with an approximate west-south-west to east -north-east trend
within the Nkala Zone. It is not known, based on the drilling to date, if the Ingwe Shoot and Nkala Zone are offset on
a geological feature to the west. Potential may exist to extend Nkala Zone to the east with the possibility for another
higher-grade shoot, similar to the Ingwe Shoot as suggested by the copper content and geology of D14-C2 but these
targets will require further drill testing.

Results of the H1 2025 Drilling Program
The drill results listed in Table 1 continue to assist the Company in defining the margins and trends of the copper
mineralization within the Nkala Zone and Ingwe Shoot, while also providing critical geological insights across other
target areas within the broader Pangeni Project. Notably, hole D22 -C3 intersected 16.37 metres at 0.29% Cu,
including a higher-grade interval of 6.89 metres at 0.47% Cu, which is interpreted to be towards the southeast edge
3
of Nkala Zone . In addition, D14-C3 intersected an anomalous zone of copper mineralization (3.90m @ 0.23% Cu)
currently interpreted to be the southeast edge of the Nkala Zone (See Figure 1).
Figure 1 also shows the location of drill hole D8-C1. This drill hole was targeting a relatively low tenor aircore copper
anomaly of only 276 parts per million copper. Importantly, drillhole D8-C1, located 1 kilometre north of the Nkala
Zone, intersected multiple anomalous copper intervals and encouraging alteration features, marking a promising
new satellite target that underscores the untapped potential beneath Kalahari cover near the discovered Nkala
copper mineralization and across the Property.
Figure 2 indicates the location of the Central Target, hole CT5 returned multiple shallow intervals of anomalous
copper, with 11.20 metres at 0.18% Cu, including 4.33 metres at 0.32% Cu , s uggesting potential near -surface
mineralization that warrants follow -up (Table 2) . The copper anomalies and their tenor in CT5 should also be
considered in the context of similar grade and width intervals in relatively close proximity to the Nkala Zone at the
D-Prospect. Figure 2 also sh ows the location of drillholes R1 and F4 -C4 that did not intersect significant copper
mineralization. Also see Table 2 for summary comments of the H1, 2025 drillholes.

Table 1: Select Recent 2025 Core Drilling Results with Depth, Sample Interval and Copper Grade
Table 1 Notes: Intertek Genalysis completed the analytical work with the core samples processed at their preparation facility in Kitwe, Zambia. All analytical
procedures were conducted in an Intertek Genalysis laboratory in Perth, Australia. Reported widths are drilled core lengths because true widths are unknown at
this time. Based upon current data, it is estimated true widths range between 85 and 90% of the drilled intersections. A nominal cut- off grade of 0.10% Cu has
been used to determine the boundaries of these intersections with no more than 3.07 metres of internal dilution of the intercepts. A nominal cut- off grade of
0.15% Cu has been used to determine the boundaries of this intersection with no more than 5.78 metres of internal dilution of the intercept.
Based on the drilling results to date, the Company and its technical partners are now reviewing the data and planning
the next optimum steps for the Project. This might include geophysical and/or geochemical orientation surveys to
evaluate methods that could advance the drill targeting of extensions to the discovered copper mineralization and
identify and test other prospects.

QUALITY ASSURANCE AND QUALITY CONTROL
The core drilling programs were managed by Remote Exploration Services (“RES”) , an independent geological
consulting and contracting company. All aspects of the field operations were conducted in line with the standard
operating procedures as previously and consistently implemented at this project. The samples were analy sed by
Intertek Genalysis, an independent and accredited laboratory. Samples were prepared at their facility in Kitwe,
Zambia and analytical work conducted in Perth, Australia. The results were determined using multi- acid, near total
digestion, and analysed by Inductively Coupled Plasma (“ICP”) Optical (Atomic) Emission Spectrometry (“OES”). The
core sampling was conducted with a robust sampling protocol that included the appropriate insertion of standard
reference material, duplicates and blanks into the sample stream. The core drilling was conducted by BluRock Mining
Services of Kitwe, Zambia.
