finlay minerals ltd. (TSXV: FYL) (OTCQB: FYMNF) (\u2018Finlay\u2019 or the \u2018Company\u2019) is pleased to announce the start of the 2025 exploration programs for its PIL and ATTY Properties within the Toodoggone Mining District of Northern British Columbia . \u00a0These programs are fully funded under the Earn-In Agreements with Freeport-McMoRan Mineral Properties Canada Inc. (\u2018Freeport\u2019). Under these agreements, Freeport can earn up to an 80% interest in each property by investing $35 million in exploration expenditures and making cash payments of $4.1 million over a period of six years. ( Reference #1 ).<\/p>\n

The exploration programs at PIL and ATTY are designed to best outline and prioritize as many targets as possible for drill testing in 2026. The 2025 programs at both PIL and ATTY will consist of the following activities with Finlay acting as Operator: <\/p>\n

Detailed, property-wide ,100 metre (\u2018m\u2019) line-spaced airborne magnetic surveys;
\n extensive induced polarization (\u2018IP\u2019) geophysical surveys;
\n detailed geological and alteration mapping and expanded rock and soil sampling on up to 8 target areas on the PIL and up to 3 target areas on the ATTY depending on weather and conditions. <\/p>\n

The exploration crews are anticipated to arrive on the PIL Property in the coming week and the exploration programs are expected to extend into late August.\u00a0 Finlay will provide additional updates on the progress and results of the exploration programs as they become available in the coming months. <\/p>\n

Finlay\u2019s President and CEO, Ilona Lindsay <\/span> , states: <\/p>\n

\u2018 The proposed exploration programs for 2025 will permit us to continue to advance these promising projects through systematic exploration,\u2019 says Lindsay. <\/p>\n

\u2018We are excited to build on the successes of previous exploration campaigns, especially given the highly encouraging results seen at the PIL South and in the Wrich area. <\/p>\n

Freeport\u2019s <\/span> expertise and funding significantly enhances our ability to carry out systemic and comprehensive exploration across both properties. This is a transformative opportunity for Finlay Minerals. \u2018 <\/p>\n

PIL Property : <\/p>\n

Exploration on the PIL Property will focus on the western Toodoggone porphyry corridor that includes Freeport <\/span> and Amarc\u2019s newly discovered AuRORA Au-Cu porphyry system, Centerra Gold\u2019s Kemess North and Kemess East Deposits and the former Kemess South Mine \u2013 refer to Figure 1 . \u00a0Exploration will be prioritized at and around the PIL South Target, working on the theory that the major porphyry centres occur along northeast-southwest trends within this corridor. In 2024, drilling at PIL South intercepted Cu-Au porphyry mineralization.\u00a0 Other targets on the PIL Property include favorable geological, alteration, and surface geochemical environments with other porphyry indicators such as high-sulphidation systems. <\/p>\n

Details of the PIL Property exploration targets can be found in the Company\u2019s PIL Technical Presentation on the Finlay website at www.finlayminerals.com . <\/p>\n

ATTY Property : <\/p>\n

Exploration work on the ATTY Property will focus on the Wrich target which is adjacent to the SWT target on the Joy Property. The SWT target hosts a >2 kilometre (\u2018km\u2019) copper geochemical anomaly that is open to the south and extends onto the ATTY Property for another 1.2 km to the southeast. <\/p>\n

Details of the ATTY Property exploration targets can be found in the Company\u2019s ATTY Technical Presentation on the Finlay website at www.finlayminerals.com . <\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Freeport <\/span> negotiated Earn-In agreements on both the PIL and ATTY Properties whereby Freeport <\/span> can earn an 80% interest in each property by spending $35 million <\/span> in exploration expenditures and $4.1 million <\/span> cash payments of over six years ( Reference # 1) .\u00a0 \u00a0Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) is a leading international metals company focused on copper, with major operations in the Americas and Indonesia <\/span> and significant reserves of copper, gold, and molybdenum. <\/p>\n

About finlay minerals ltd.<\/p>\n

Finlay is a TSXV company focused on exploration for base and precious metal deposits with five properties in northern British Columbia <\/span> : <\/p>\n

The ATTY Property covers 3,875 hectares (\u2018 ha \u2018) of sub-alpine terrain in the southern Toodoggone region. The Toodoggone is a northwest-trending belt of Triassic to Jurassic arc terranes that hosts numerous significant porphyry Cu-Au \u00b1 Ag and associated epithermal Au-Ag deposits. The ATTY Property is in between and contiguous to Centerra Gold\u2019s Kemess Project and the JOY Project held by Amarc Resources and Freeport-McMoRan. The ATTY Property\u2019s KEM target has similarities to the Kemess North Trend, which hosts the Kemess Underground and Kemess East deposits.
\n The PIL Property , which covers 13,374 ha in the heart of the Toodoggone region, has numerous porphyry Cu-Au \u00b1 Ag targets and associated epithermal Au-Ag mineralization. The PIL Property is neighboured by Amarc Resources and Freeport-McMoRan\u2019s JOY Project and TDG Gold Corporation\u2019s Shasta\/Baker and Sofia Properties. The PIL Property is also 25 km northwest of Centerra Gold\u2019s past-producing Kemess South Mine and 15 km east of Thesis Gold\u2019s Lawyers Project. <\/p>\n

The Silver Hope Property covers 21,322 ha and surrounds the past-producing Equity Silver Mine in the prospective Skeena Arch region of central B.C. The Silver Hope contains the Main Trend which is a >2 km Cu-Ag-Au mineralized trend with mineralization starting at surface.\u00a0 West of the Main Trend is the West Cu-Mo Porphyry which is also mineralized starting from surface. The Property hosts a network of forestry roads and trails and has all-year access from Houston, BC <\/span> .<\/p>\n

The SAY Property covers 26,202 ha and is located 140 km north of Smithers, B.C. <\/span> The SAY Property is within a 135-km long belt of relatively unexplored Stikine Terrane, with American Eagle Gold\u2019s NAK and Amarc Resources and Boliden Mineral Canada\u2019s DUKE Cu-Mo-Ag-Au porphyry prospects at the southern end, to HDI Quartz Mountain Resources Ltd.\u2019s Jake Project Cu-Au-Ag porphyry discovery at the north end of the belt. The SPUR and SHEL zones are the most advanced targets on the SAY property. The SPUR is a high-grade Cu-Ag structural controlled vein and breccia target extending for 4.3 km with assays up to 15.8% Cu and 993 g\/t Ag. The SHEL target area is a Cu-Mo porphyry identified by historic mapping and drilling.<\/p>\n

The JJB Property covers 15,423 ha 10 km north of the SAY Property.\u00a0 The JJB Property covers known gossans with associated Cu-Au-Ag geochemical anomalies. <\/p>\n
