developments on property holdings in the NWT
Vancouver, British Columbia – August 19, 2025 – Rackla Metals Inc. (TSX-V: RAK) (the “Company”) is
pleased to announce that the Company continues to make good progress on its 2025 exploration program
in western NWT. The drill plan has been increased by 25% to 5,000m due to encouraging observations in
the drill core and surface work that has extended the mineralized zone at the BiTe showing significantly
to the west and at depth.
• The drill is presently on hole G25-008, with a target depth of 500m.
• Abundant sheeted veining has been observed in all drill holes completed to date.
• Bismuth sulphide mineralization has also been observed in all holes.
• Samples from holes G25-001 through 007 have been submitted to the lab and the Company
awaits the analytical results.
• Based upon the results of the regional exploration program the Company has increased land
holdings in the region.
As of August 18th, over 3,100m have been drilled with 7 holes completed, testing an area measuring 500
x 300 x 550 m. The drill is currently on hole G25-008.
All holes drilled to date have intersected a consistent set of sheeted quartz/sulphide +tourmaline veins
throughout their length. A broad zone with intense quartz and quartz -tourmaline veining and elevated
bismuth content was intersected at the top of holes G25-004 and 005. This zone has been intersected in
holes G25-006 and 007, 125m west of G25 -004 and 005. The zone shows good continuity and appear s
robust with increasing strength and width as the intercepts get deeper. Hole G25 -008 is targeting the
same zone north of the intercept in holes G25-006 and 007.

Completed holes G25-001 to 007 are at the lab, with results from holes G25-001 to 003 expected within
the coming week. We expect a steady flow of results following that.

Rackla continues working from the ridge, sampling the north, south and west face of the cliff above BiTe.
Recent mapping is indicating a metal zonation with the large gossanous zone on the ridge top being
arsenic-rich, and the topographically lower west and east ridges being bismuth-rich (assays pending). This
zonation is believed to indicate that the ridge top has seen very little erosion, and the carapace zone is
mostly intact based on the Reduced Intrusion-Related Gold System model.

Rackla is working in consultation with the Sahtu Dene and Métis communities and remains committed to
maintaining the respectful, collaborative relationships we’ve built with the Sahtu. As we advance
exploration at the Grad Project, we will continue working closely with local stakeholders and regulatory
agencies to ensure our activities create long-term value and reflect community priorities.
