Surface Metals Inc. announced the completion of a comprehensive historical drill database compilation and review for its Cimarron Gold Project in Nye County, Nevada. The study confirms substantial exploration upside, with multiple mineralized zones remaining open along strike and at depth. The validated and digitized database includes 234 historical drill holes totaling approximately 18,066 metres.

Significant intercepts include 32.01 metres grading 2.23 g/t Au and 56.39 metres grading 0.52 g/t Au, outside the boundaries of the approximately 50,000 Oz gold resource estimate. The limited drilling also shows the gold system is open directionally along strike, with indications that the 3 main isolated zones merge at depth. The cross section below illustrates the continuity of mineralization between the West and East Zones and highlights the open gold mineralization extending below the majority of the zones below the open pit resource estimate outline.

Surface Metals plans to initiate a maiden drill program in 2026 targeting high-priority zones identified in the 3D modelling of historical drilling. The objective of the program is to increase the historical resource estimate and advance Cimarron toward economic viability for an open-pit, heap-leach operation.
