Blackbird Critical Metals Corp. announced priority drill targets as well as a permitting update on the Tyee Critical Metals Project. Highlights: Four high-priority titanium occurrences targeted for drilling.

Two high-priority nickel occurrences targeted for drilling. Additional targets from 2nd phase of SkyTEM survey slated for prospecting and sampling. Permitting for drilling is now in the final stages and permits are expected imminently.

Four drill collars are planned over the NS Trend, where sampling over a 2,300 m strike length has yielded an average of 31.56% TiO2 in eight grab samples. The NS Trend is mostly poorly exposed, however, a section of massive magnetite of 300 m by 30 m is intermittently exposed and likely continuous. Drilling will start in this area to test whether this mineralization continues to depth.

Four drill collars are planned over the Big Tio target, where a substantial conductor underlies high-grade titanium in grab samples. The Big Tio target yielded five grab samples averaging 35.92% TiO2. Infill lines from the 2nd phase of SkyTEM data collection corroborated and further defined the geophysical signature after the initial sampling program.

Four drill collars are planned over the Crescent target. The Crescent target yielded 28.79 % TiO2 over 12 samples. The Crescent target consists of the second-largest continuous EM anomaly on the Tyee Critical Metals Project associated with high-grade titanium mineralization and has a length of 1,850m.

This conductor and possibly associated mineralization appear to dip slightly to the east. Four drill collars are planned over the St. Denis East target.

The St. Denis East target is the single-largest EM anomaly on the claim associated with high-grade titanium mineralization. The EM anomaly underlying the mineralization measures over 2,000m in length.

Three samples were taken over the St. Denis target in 2023 and yielded an average titanium grade of 36.35% TiO2. The Company intends to drill two holes each into the Little St.

Catherines 1 & 3 (LC1 & LC3) targets. The LC1 and LC3 targets are the largest sulphide-associated EM anomalies surrounding the Little St. Catherines target and yielded samples with up to 0.712% Ni and 0.655% Ni, respectively.

The second phase of the SkyTEM survey over the Tyee Critical Metals Project yielded 62 new conductors that are slated for ground follow-up. Most of the conductors appear similar to the newly-discovered titanium occurrences. Two of the occurrences are more characteristic of massive sulphide mineralization.

The Company intends to deploy the same highly effective exploration methods for ground-work follow up that yielded the current drilling targets.
