Rumble Resources Commences Exploration on Wilmac Copper-Gold Project
Rumble Resources Announces Initiation of its 2025
Exploration Program on the Wilmac Copper-Gold Project in
Southeastern British Columbia
Vancouver, British Columbia--(August 13, 2025) - RUMBLE RESOURCES INC. (CSE: RB)
(the "Company" or "Rumble") is pleased to announce initiation of its 2025 exploration program
on the Wilmac Copper-Gold Project (the “Wilmac Project” or the “Property”).
The Company entered into an option agreement for the Wilmac Project, whereby it can acquire a
70% interest, subject to a 2% net smelter return royalty ("NSR") , on the Property (see News
Release dated June 11, 2025 ). Coincident with announcement of acquisition of the Property, the
Company announced a private placement, which successfully closed with receipt of $525,000 (see
News Release dated July 25, 2025 ). The Company has used proceeds from the private placement
to fund the initial $25,000 cash payment due to the optionors of the Wilmac Project and to fund
exploration.
Field personnel have been mobilized to the Wilmac Project to initiate the 2025 exploration
program. Prime objectives for the proposed program include, but are not limited to:
• Examine and sample diorite / gabbro / pyroxenite intrusives identified in the Wilmac
Project area,
• Examine and document the style and extent of both alteration and mineralization,
particularly that spatially associated with diorite / gabbro / ultramafic identified in the
Property area, more specifically, the Wilmac MINFILE occurrence and a comparatively
large gabbro exposure mapped south of Coalmont along Arrastra Creek,
• Geological mapping and sampling of outcrop, particularly occurrences exposed along
logging roads, correlated predominantly to the Late Triassic Nicola Group, and
• A r eview of correlations proposed to both the Tulameen Mafic -Ultramafic Complex
(located northwest of the Wilmac Project area) and/or the Copper Mountain Suite
(associated with the Copper Mountain Mine located approximately 10 km east).
The proposed program is anticipated to include some or all of the following:
• Soil Sampling survey(s),
• Geological mapping and sampling, specifically, lithological, alteration and mineralization,
• One or more Induced Polarization/Audio Frequency Magnetotelluric (IP/AMT) surveys,
• Very Low Frequency Electromagnetic (VLF-EM) survey(s),
• Self Potential (SP) survey(s),
• Petrographic analysis of selected intrusive samples,
• Geochemical evaluation of analytical results from soil and rock samples, and
• A Porphyry Vectoring Study through the Mineral Deposits Research Unit (MDRU) at UBC
The Property is located in south -central British Columbia, southwest of Princeton and
approximately 10 kilometres west of Hudbay Mineral Inc.’s currently producing Copper Mountain
Mine that currently hosts a Proven and Probable Mineral Reserve of 702 Mt of 0.24% Copper. The
two mineral tenures comprising the Wilmac Project area, totaling approximately 2,355 hectares
(5,819 acres), are located in a well-documented and prolific copper -gold porphyry belt and are
interpreted to host potential for identification of one or more Copper - Gold Alkalic Porphyry
occurrences similar in age and deposit type to those hosting the Copper Mountain mine.
The Copper Mountain Intrusive Complex (“CMIS”), which host the Copper Mountain Mine, was
intruded into Nicola Group host rocks. The CMIS consists of the zoned Copper Mountain Stock
and the dioritic Voigt Stock, subsequently crosscut by the multiphase Lost Horse dykes of which
the last two phases are associated with mineralization. Subsequent intrusion of the unmineralized
Verde Stock and the Mine Dykes complete the simplified geology of the CMIS.
The Property, separated from the Copper Mountain Camp by the regionally significant, west side
down Boundary Fault, is interpreted to share remarkable similarities with the geological setting
within which the Wilmac Project is located. The Late Triassic Nicola Group west of the Boundary
Fault hosts numerous comparably small diorite intrusions hosting intimately associated gabbro and
pyroxenite intrusions, reminiscent of the diorite phase observed in the Copper Mountain Stock.
Initially concealed by unmineralized rocks correlated to the Eocene Princeton Group Cover
Sequence, subsequent glacial activity exposed a significant portion of Nicola Group rocks and
associated mafic to ultramafic intrusions, such as those previously mapped in the Wilmac Project
area, although to a lesser extent than in the Copper Mountain camp.
A previous operator interpreted the geological setting within which the Wilmac Project area is
located to be similar to that of the Copper Mountain Intrusive Complex, but representing a different
level of exposure. At Copper Mountain, erosion exposed an intrusive complex, with intimately
associated alteration and mineralization, at surface. In contrast, the level of erosion in the Property
area, west of the Boundary Fault, is interpreted to have been less extensive. The result is exposure
of relatively numerous, yet comparatively small, high -level diorite and/or gabbro and/or
pyroxenite intrusions, interpreted to represent the uppermost portions of an intrusive complex
underlying the Property area.
Located immediately west of Highway 3 , t he Pro perty is easily accessible by road, in a well -
established mining district with excellent infrastructure, a local workforce and support services.
British Columbia is known as a low -risk jurisdiction with high standards for environmental
stewardship and community engagement.
