Black Mammoth Metals Corporation (TSXV: BMM,OTC:LQRCF) (OTC: LQRCF) ("Black Mammoth" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of a pole-dipole induced polarization (IP) survey with inversion model and the results of a UAV magnetic survey at the Company's 100% owned Big Bear Copper property ("Big Bear" or the "Property"). The Company has also staked 29 additional unpatented lode claims managed by the U.S. Forest Service with the Property now covering approximately 367 hectares (909 acres). Big Bear is located at the NE flank of the Mazatzal Mountains, Gila County, AZ.

IP and Magnetic Survey - Results:
The IP results have delineated a target zone where the chargeability high and resistivity high is coincident with high-grade copper in rock chips (see Figure 1) and with an underlying magnetic high located along a NW trending fault zone (see Figure 2) (the "Target Zone"). The north-south IP lines (4) were spaced 150m apart and magnetic survey's east-west flight lines were spaced 25m to 50m apart.

The Company's outcrop chip samples collected in 2025 confirmed 74m of vertical extent of a known historical copper oxide zone (the "Historic Copper Zone") that consists of historical drilling, trenching and outcrop chip sampling (see the Company's news release dated June 16, 2025). The newly delineated Target Zone overlaps and expands the Historic Copper Zone.

IP and Magnetic Survey - Objectives:
The objective of the IP and magnetic surveys was to further confirm and expand the Historic Copper Zone and to locate underlying primary sulfide mineralization. Historical shallow drilling, with a maximum depth of 120m, identified oxide copper and sulfide mineralization in drill holes down to the borehole bottoms.

Black Mammoth Metals feels that the recent work-up at Big Bear, including the newly delineated Target Zone, suggests that a larger undiscovered copper system may exist on the Property.
