ARYA RESOURCES LTD. (TSX-V: RBZ) Provides Dunlop Nickel Copper Project
Drilling Update
May 23, 2024 - Vancouver, BC, Canada - Arya Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: RBZ) (“Arya” or the “Company”) is
pleased to announce an update on its Dunlop Nickel Copper project, near La Ronge, Saskatchewan,
Canada. The company has received results for two drill holes from its drill program completed in
December, 2023.
Drill Hole AR 23-007 intercepted starting from 16 meters (m):
• 35.50 m of 0.32% Copper (Cu), 0.39% Nickel (Ni), and 161 grams/tonne (g/t) Cobalt
(Co) including 0.41% Cu, 0.52% Ni and 195 g/t Co over 17 m.
Drill Hole 008 Intersected starting from 18.5 m:
• 36.5 m of 0.35% Cu, 0.61% Ni and 247 g/t of Co including 0.64% Cu, 1.35% Ni and
518 g/t Co over 9.7 m.
Please note, the mineralized intervals are core length as true thickness has not yet been
determined for the zone.
The remaining six diamond drill holes sampling is in progress; AR23-03 core cutting, sampling, and
bagging is complete. The company expects all core cutting /sampling will be completed in the first week
of June 2024. Samples are to be shipped to SRC Lab in Saskatchewan for analysis and results will be
released as they are received.
The project is located 37km north of La Ronge via Provincial Highway 102 and then an 8km bush road
heading west to Nemeiben Lake provides excellent access. A powerline runs along Provincial Highway
102 and would provide easy access to hydro for the project site. The Company has all the necessary
permits to conduct exploration drilling on the Dunlop Nickel-Copper project.
The drill program was designed to test favourable Nickel-Copper targets identified within the historic
Dunlop Ni-Cu Zone by the company’s technical team. The program concentrated on drilling targets
identified at the East Zone. The program was successful in intersecting the mineralized pyroxenite in all
holes. Visually, the mineralization appears to be of similar nature to the zone intersected in the historic
drilling, 3-5% disseminated and blebby pyrrhotite with trace to 1% pentlandite and chalcopyrite. Locally,
on a meter scale, sulphide content increases to 30%. Table 1 summarizes the assay results for holes AR
23-007 and AR 23-008.

Key Lake Uranium Claims, Athabasca Basin:
The company also owns early-stage uranium claims in the Athabasca Basin of Saskatchewan: 20,625
acres in Key Lake Uranium Corridor less thank 50 km from a mill. Several Uranium mining companies
are drilling the Key Lake Uranium Corridor. Projected strike of the P-2 Thrust fault which hosts the
McArthur River uranium mine in the Athabasca basin, extends onto the property.
QUALITY ASSURANCE AND QUALITY CONTROL (QA/QC)
ARYA Resources Ltd. maintains tight core sample security, quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC)
for all aspects of its exploration program. All core samples from the Fall 2023 were logged, photographed
and sampled at ARYA’s secure core facility in La Ronge, Saskatchewan. Where possible, core samples are
standardized at 1.0m down-hole intervals. The core samples are cut using a diamond core saw with half
remaining in the core box for future reference. One-half is bagged and then placed in rice bags, secured
with zip ties, and delivered to Manitoulin Transport in La Ronge, placed on a pallet and shrink wrapped (to
ensure no sample bags are misplaced). The sample shipment is delivered to SRC Geoanalytical Labratories
(Saskatchewan Research Council) an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited lab in Saskatoon, SK for preparation
(crushing and pulverizing) and analyzed using ICP-OES package ICP4T 4-acid total digestion with specified
limits and package Au5 for Au, Pt and Pd (method codes ICP4T and Au5 respectively). Company protocols
include the insertion of quality control (QC) samples consisting of blind standards ( Certified Reference
Materials (CRMs)), blanks and sample duplicates into the sample stream at a rate of 1 in 30.
ARYA is not aware of any drilling, sampling, recovery, or other factors that could materially affect the
accuracy or reliability of the data referred to herein.
