Torr Metals Completes Reconnaissance at High-Priority Copper-
Gold Targets and Closes Second Tranche of Financing
Vancouver, British Columbia (BC) -- (June 26, 2025) – Torr Metals Inc. (“Torr” or the “Company”)
(TSX-V: TMET.V), Torr Metals has successfully completed field reconnaissance over high -priority
copper-gold targets at the Bertha and Sonic zones in south- central British Columbia, within the broader
Bertha and Kolos Project areas, hereafter collectively referred to as the Kolos Copper-Gold Project (Figure
1, Figure 2). This initial groundwork, which included alteration mapping and the collection of 12 rock grab
samples from outcrop, was instrumental in guiding the orientation and targeting of an imminent induced
polarization (IP) geophysical survey. In addition to refining targets for the survey, the reconnaissance also
identified new areas of geological interest that warrant near -term follow-up. Having secured funding, the
Company is now poised to generate near -term value through exploration ahead of a maiden discovery-
focused drill program.
At Bertha, fieldwork confirmed structurally controlled supergene copper (Cu) mineralization
composed primarily of chalcocite, where historical rock grab samples have returned up to 8.48% Cu
in outcrop. The upcoming IP survey will be the first to test for subsurface extensions of this undrilled zone,
which shares key structural and mineralogical features with the upper supergene zone of the high- grade
New Afton copper-gold deposit, located just 28 kilometres to the north-northeast.

“We’re excited to launch this next phase of exploration across our 332 km² land package, where recent
work at the Bertha target has revealed compelling geological similarities to the nearby high- grade New
Afton deposit,” stated Malcolm Dorsey, President and CEO of Torr Metals. “A new copper-gold porphyry
discovery at Kirby, Bertha, or Sonic would be highly meaningful; not just for the geological potential, but
for our exceptional access to infrastructure and proximity to operating mines with declining reserves. With
road access, power, and nearby mills, Kolos is strategically positioned to generate near -term value in a
region hungry for new copper-gold feed sources. These efforts will culminate in a high-impact maiden drill
program planned for 2025.”

Torr Metals is also pleased to announce the closing of the second and final tranche (the “Second Tranche”)
of its previously announced non- brokered private placement (the “Private Placement ”). Pursuant to the
closing of the Second Tranche, the Company issued 533,333 flow-through shares (each, a “FT Share”) at
a price of $0.15 per FT Share, and 885,000 units (each, a “ Unit”) of the Company at a price of $0.13 per
- 3 -
Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of $195,050, bringing the Private Placement total proceeds to
$1,375,419.
Each Unit consisted of one Share and one-half of a Warrant. Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to
acquire one Share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.25 per share until June 25, 2027.
The proceeds from the Private Placement will be used to fund exploration and development on Torr’s
British Columbia assets, specifically its 100% owned 275 km² Kolos Copper-Gold Project and the adjacent
57 km² Bertha Property, held under a strategic option agreement for full ownership (see March 11, 2025
News Release); and for general working capital purposes. The gross proceeds from the FT Shares will be
used to incur eligible “ Canadian exploration expenses ” that will qualify as “ flow-through mining
expenditures,” as such terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada), (the “Qualifying Expenditures”).
All Qualifying Expenditures will be renounced in favour of the subscribers of the FT Shares effective
December 31, 2025.
In connection with this Second Tranche of the Private Placement, the Company paid a total of $10,465 in
cash to arm’s length finders. Additionally, Torr issued an aggregate of 75,833 Finder’s Warrant to arm’s
length finders, namely to Canaccord Genuity Corp. (as to 28,000 Finder’s Warrants), Research Capital
Corporation (as to 30,333 Finder’s Warrants, and Jasper Wijk and Gorm Henriksen (as to 17,500 Finder’s
Warrants to be split equally between Messrs. Wijk and Henriksen) . Each Finder’s Warrant is non -
transferable and entitles the holder thereof to purchase one common share of the Company, at an exercise
price of $0.25 per share until June 25, 2027.
All securities issued in this Second Tranche are subject to a hold period expiring on October 26, 2025.
At the request of the TSX Venture Exchange, the Company confirms that a total of $69,741 was paid in
cash to arm’s length finders for the whole Private Placement. Torr issued an aggregate of 489,789 non-
transferable Finder’s Warrant to arm’s length finders for the whole Private Placement, namely to Haywood
Securities Inc. (as to 50,330 Finder’s Warrants), Ventum Financial Corp. (as to 116,433 Finder’s Warrants),
Raymond James Ltd. (as to 16,333 Finder’s Warrants), Canaccord Genuity Corp. (as to 28,000 Finde r’s
Warrants), Research Capital Corporation (as to 30,333 Finder’s Warrants), and Jasper Wijk and Gorm
Henriksen (as to a total of 248,360 Finder’s Warrants, split equally between Messrs. Wijk and Henriksen).
It should be noted that although Valpal Management Consultancy was an arm’s length finder in the Private
Placement, it did not receive Finder’s Warrants.
The subscription by an Insider of the Company for a portion of the Private Placement is a related party
transaction for the purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61- 101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in
Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”), but the Company is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation
and minority shareholder approval requirements provided under sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101
on the basis that the fair market value of the subscription, insofar as it involves the insider of the Company,
does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Issuer, as determined in accordance with MI 61-
101.
