MURCHISON MINERALS ANNOUNCES ASSAY RESULTS FROM 2025
DIAMOND DRILL PROGRAM AT BMK VMS DEPOSIT, ALL HOLES
INTERSECTING SIGNIFICANT NEAR-SURFACE HIGH-GRADE VMS
MINERALIZATION INCLUDING PRECIOUS METALS, GRADES UP TO
5.52% CuEq or 21.97% ZnEq INCLUDING, 208g/t Ag, and 1.43g/t Au
HIGHLIGHTS
• Diamond drilling was Phase II of III of the Company’s 2025 BMK Exploration Program
(the “Program”) (See October 2 nd, 2025, News Release) at its 100% -owned BMK VMS
Project in Saskatchewan, located approximately 175 km northwest of Foran Mining
Corporations’ Mcllvenna Bay VMS mine development (Figure 1);
• All holes were drilled at the BMK VMS Deposit (the “Deposit”) and intersected significant
zinc-copper-lead-silver-gold (Zn-Cu-Pb-Ag-Au) mineralization (within the upper 150 m),
testing 550 m of the total 1,100 m strike length of the Deposit (Figure 2);
• Diamond drilling highlights:
o BMK25-005 successfully targeted expansion of mineralization along strike to the
south of the indicated domain, within in the upper 150 m of the Deposit. The hole
intersected 14.23 m of total composite mineralization over five intervals from
113.34 m to 143.10 m (Table 2 & Figure 3), highlighted by:
▪ 5.75 m (from 113.34 m to 119.09 m) grading 3.17% ZnEq or 0.80% CuEq
(0.08g/t Au, 7.59g/t Ag, 0.39% Cu, 0.02% Pb, 0.86% Zn), including 0.52 m
grading 13.04% ZnEq or 3.28% CuEq (0.34g/t Au, 21.70g/t Ag, 1.35% Cu,
0.03% Pb, 5.13% Zn);
▪ 3.80 m (from 139.30 m to 143.10 m) grading 7.13% ZnEq or 1.79% CuEq
(0.07g/t Au, 4.83g/t Ag, 0.34% Cu, 0.05% Pb, 5.21% Zn), including 1.60 m
grading 11.52% ZnEq or 2.90% CuEq (0.14g/t Au, 3.80g/t Ag, 0.28% Cu,
0.05% Pb, 9.70% Zn);
o BMK25-004 successfully targeted expansion of mineralization along strike to the
north of the indicated domain, within in the upper 150 m of the Deposit. The hole
confirmed an upper Zn -rich interval and discovered a lower Au -Ag-Pb rich
interval, with 14 m of total composite mineralization over three intervals from
60.03 m to 82.00 m (Table 2 & Figure 4), highlighted by:

▪ 5.68 m (from 68.0 m to 73.68 m) grading 3.98% ZnEq or 1.00% CuEq
(0.4g/t Au, 5.55g/t Ag, 0.60% Cu, 0.04% Pb, 1.12% Zn), including 0.50 m
grading 9.24% ZnEq or 2.32% CuEq (0. 19g/t Au, 2 0.01g/t Ag, 1. 74% Cu,

2.19% Pb, 0.08% Zn);
• Phase II – Diamond Drilling: Comprised five holes totaling 853 m, targeting the Deposit
(Table 2) and successfully achieved all objectives:
o Objective I: Expansion of near-surface (<150 m depth) high-grade mineralization,
amenable for potential open-pit mining;
o Objective II: Testing for previously unidentified zones of cryptic precious metals
(Gold and Silver) within the footprint of mineralization at the Deposit;
o Objective III: Enhancing the understanding of the structural controls on
mineralization identified by an on-going SRK structural study – with the end goal
of de-risking future delineation and regional exploration drilling.
• Phase III (November 2025 – Q1 2026): 3D Geological Modeling and data compilation –
supporting target development and de -risking, in advance of the Company’s 2026
exploration campaign;
• The BMK Project comprises 859 km 2 mineral claims, situated along the underexplored
MacLean Lake Prospective VMS Belt, hosting the high -grade Deposit (Table 1) and
numerous additional VMS showings along the 37 km long BMK Trend.

Murchison Minerals’ CEO Troy Boisjoli comments:
“Today’s results illustrate that the BMK high -grade VMS Deposit, located in Canada’s best mining
and exploration juri sdiction – Saskatchewan – is one of the country’s top post discovery, growth

stage, critical minerals projects. The diamond drilling component of the 2025 Program was hugely
successfully, demonstrating four critical attributes: First, the BMK VMS Deposit remains open and
unconstrained. Second, with all holes hitting shallow (<150 m depth) high-grade VMS mineralization,
BMK has the potential to be open pit amenable. Third, there are tremendous precious metals – gold
& silver –potential at the Deposit, which until now, have been unrecognized. Fourth, with the latest
results and detailed work from external experts such as SRK, the Company has unlocked the
geological controls hosting mineralization at BMK. With this knowledge, Murchison now has a
roadmap for discovering additional VMS deposits along the 37-km long BMK VMS Trend, which
already has numerous VMS showings. At a time when critical minerals are at the forefront of national
and global impor tance, Murchison Minerals is ready to push the BMK Project into acceleration
mode.”
Murchison Minerals’ Vice-President of Exploration John Shmyr comments:
“Phase II drilling was a success, with every hole intersecting significant near-surface mineralization
at BMK. Results from hole BMK25 -005 clearly demonstrate that high-grade mineralization extends
beyond the 2018 resource model. Additionally, the identification of a lower precious metal zone in
BMK25-004 is very encouraging. These outcomes upgrade the growth potential of the deposit and
set the stage for 3D modelling and an aggressive, expansion -focused exploration campaign in
2026.”
Burlington, Ontario, February 4th, 2026: Murchison Minerals Ltd. (TSX.V: MUR) (OTC: MURMF)
(“Murchison” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce assay results from its 2025 BMK
diamond drilling exploration program at its 100% -owned BMK VMS Project, located in
Saskatchewan, Canada (Figure 1). The Program comprised five diamond drillholes totaling 853
m, successfully targeting the BMK VMS Deposit (Table 2) and achieved all three objectives:
Objective I; all drillholes intersect ed shallow (<150 m depth) high-grade VMS mineralization
(Table 2 & Figure 2), demonstrating that the BMK VMS Deposit is amenable to potential open pit
mining. Objective II; 2025 drillholes successfully intersected intervals of previously unidentified
zones of cryptic precious metals (Gold and Silver). Drillhole BMK25-004 (Figure 4), drilled outside
of the northern extent of the indicated resource model, intersected 6.82 m (from 79.18 m to 86.00
m) grading 4.99% ZnEq or 1.25% CuEq, including 0.66 m grading 21.97% ZnEq or 5.52% CuEq
(1.43g/t Au, 208g/t Ag, 0.14% Cu, 2.19% Pb, 0.08% Zn) . Objective III ; further u nderstanding
structural controls on mineralization identified by an on-going SRK structural study – with the end
goal of de-risking future delineation and regional exploration drilling.
