MINK Outlines Multiple Drill Targets over 1.6KM Strike at Warren Ni Cu Co Project with 57KM IP Data; Reports Copper Values from New Bk Zone
MINK OUTLINES MULTIPLE DRILL TARGETS OVER 1.6KM STRIKE AT WARREN NI CU CO
PROJECT WITH 57KM IP DATA; REPORTS COPPER VALUES FROM NEW BK ZONE
Toronto, Ontario, November 19, 2024 – Mink Ventures Corporation (TSXV:MINK) (“MINK” or the "Company")
today announced that it acquired $178,000 worth of both hard copy and digital induced polarization (IP) survey
data at no cost to the Company. The IP data covers 57-line kilometers (km) on the Warren Patents and Warren
North claims. Reprocessing this new information aided significantly in refining drill targets over a 1.6 km strike
for the upcoming drill program. Additionally, during recent field work Mink’s crew discovered an undocumented,
historical sulphide pit, now designated the BK Zone. This massive sulphide zone is associated with a very weak IP
anomaly, yet grab samples returned anomalous copper assays from 0.233% to 0.241% Cu. The Company will be
drill testing the higher priority Shaft, SW, and North Zones, which have much higher conductivity and lower
resistivity responses coincident with nickel, copper, cobalt mineralization.
Highlights:
• Mink acquired, at no cost, 57-line kms of induced polarization (IP) survey data (valued at approximately
$178,000) in digital and hard copy form, covering the Warren Patents and Warren Northeast land
holdings (see Figures 1 & 2).
• Reprocessing of the digital data demonstrated that the main IP anomaly, with high chargeability and low
resistivity (see Figures 3 & 4) on the Warren Patents, has a strike length of 1.6 km and is open to the
south, beyond the extent of the survey. Numerous copper, nickel, and cobalt occurrences are present
on the flanks of this anomaly. The central core of the anomaly shown in purple (see Figure 3), in the
vicinity of the Shaft, SW, and North Zones, remains untested. The upcoming diamond drill program will
begin here.
• North of the Warren Patents on the Warren North and Northeast claims (see Figures 1 & 2) the
reprocessed data also outlined a similar IP anomaly with low resistivity and high chargeability stretching
for an additional 1.3 km of strike length. A historical drill hole ML1 tested a portion of this anomaly and
returned 0.83% Cu over 4.3 meters. Further follow up is required on this copper zone. (Reference:
Morgain Minerals, OGS Assessment Files, Timmins)
• During the course of fall prospecting and grid location work, an undocumented historical pit with massive
sulphide was uncovered. This pit was designated the BK Zone. It is interesting to note that this massive
sulphide zone was found to be associated with a very weak IP anomaly, yet returned anomalous copper
assays up to 0.241% Cu in massive sulphide.
• The new reprocessed IP data in conjunction with assay data from prospecting efforts has significantly
enhanced the drill targeting at the Shaft Zone, SW Zone and North Zone Area (see Table 1 for historical
sampling).
• Following completion of the drill program, Mink will have completed the $300,000 of work expenditures
required to earn its 100% interest in the Warren Patents. These expenses were significantly offset by the
two, non-dilutive, OJEP grants (totaling $168,615) that the Company was awarded.
Note: The sample values referenced in this news release for recent BK Zone sampling are select grab samples of a
mineralized zone and are not necessarily representative of the mineralization found on the property.

Quality Assurance / Quality Control Program:
Field samples were collected by a qualified professional geologist and experienced field assistant. Samples were
transported in sealed bags to ALS Canada Ltd. facility in Timmins for preparation. Pulps were transported to
Vancouver, B.C., for 35-element MEICP41 aqua regia inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy
analysis, PGM ICP23 analysis for gold-platinum-palladium analysis, Cu OG46 analysis for over 10,000 ppm Cu and
NiOG46 analysis for over 10,000 ppm Ni. Oreas standards numbered 13B and 14P along with a blank sample
were submitted by the corporation as an external check and numerous quality control samples and duplicates
were completed as an internal check by ALS Canada.
