CMC Options a Third High-Grade Copper-Silver Property in the Highly Prospective Gander Subzone in Central Newfoundland - Rodney Pond

CMC Options a Third High-Grade Copper-Silver Property in the Highly Prospective Gander Subzone in Central Newfoundland - Rodney Pond

CMC Metals Ltd. (TSXV:CMB)(Frankfurt:ZM5P)(OTC PINK:CMCZF) ("CMC" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has acquired an option to earn up to a 100 percent working interest in the Rodney Pond Property in the highly prospective Gander Subzone in Central Newfoundland, subject to an option agreement (the "Agreement") with Nancy, Stephen and Larry Rogers (the "Prospectors") of Hare Bay, Newfoundland. Terms of the option agreement are subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company will pay $10,000 (CDN) and 50,000 common shares of CMC Metals Ltd. upon Execution of the Agreement and additional payments will be made on the first anniversary and in the following years to the Prospectors as follows:

  • 1st Anniversary Date, January 6, 2023: $10,000 cash and 50,000 common shares;
  • 2nd Anniversary Date, January 6, 2024: $15,000 cash and 75,000 common shares;
  • 3rd Anniversary Date, January 2, 2025: $25,000 cash and 125,000 common shares;
  • In addition, the Agreement provides for a conventional royalty of 2.0% of which 1.0% can be purchased at any time by the Company from the Prospectors for $1,000,000.

The Rodney Pond (copper-silver+/gold+/-lead+/- zinc) Property, located approximately 17 kilometers south of Gander, is road accessible via a series of woods roads. The property comprises 27 claims (approximately 675 hectares) and is underlain by the Jonathans Pond Formation of the Gander Group. Limited exploration work on the property to date has served to identify a 2-meter-wide vein of massive chalcopyrite and bornite. Samples taken from different portions of the vein returned assays from grab samples of outcrop of up to 7.1% copper, 27.2 g/t silver and 233 ppb gold. Assays also indicate elevated levels of iron, zinc, chromium and lead. Limited prospecting identified mineralization over an area in excess of 500 * 300 meters, with most of the property to be yet examined in any detail.

Kevin Brewer, President and CEO noted, "Rodney Pond is a great addition to our extensive portfolio of properties in western and eastern Canada. Newfoundland is my home province, so it is great to now be working there again. Collectively our three properties (Rodney Pond, Bridal Veil and Terra Nova) in the Gander Zone, now comprise of a total of 224 claims for an approximate total land area of 6,196 hectares. These properties provide CMC with exposure to high grade copper-silver polymetallic plays at a very reasonable cost. We have already been working with the Rogers Family at the Terra Nova Property and find them to be great prospectors and nice people - typical Newfoundlanders. We look forward to advancing our exploration in Newfoundland with the goal to discover a high-grade polymetallic deposit. Early investigations indicate that these are all likely intrusion related systems and possibly mesothermal in origin."

Mr. John Bossio, Chairman of the Company noted: "This is the third property acquisition for us in the highly active Gander Zone exploration play. Newfoundland is one of the best jurisdictions in Canada to explore, and we have already experienced benefits such as an extended exploration season in our work programs and that will provide more regular news flow. On behalf of the Board, I thank the Rogers family for again presenting us with the opportunity to acquire a prospective copper-silver polymetallic project at reasonable terms."

CMC Files Drill Permits for Amy and Silverknife Properties, Rancheria Silver District, Northern BC

CMC Files Drill Permits for Amy and Silverknife Properties, Rancheria Silver District, Northern BC

CMC Metals Ltd. (TSXV:CMB)(Frankfurt:ZM5P)(OTC PINKS:CMCZF) ("CMC" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has completed filing for exploration applications for the Amy and Silverknife projects. The permits include a wide range of proposed exploration activities on both properties including but not limited to geophysical and geochemical surveys, access road upgrading, new trailroad development, drill and clearing pad construction and drilling. The permits are filed with the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources, Government of British Columbia and permit reviews for multi-year permits of this nature typically take in the range of 4-6 months to complete

At Silverknife, in the southern part of the property, our intent is to conduct geological mapping and prospecting to determine the extent of specific prospective geological units that are known to host the Silvertip Mine owned by Coeur Mining Ltd. The results of those efforts will guide decisions on advanced exploration in that area of the Property. However, most of the proposed exploration is planned to take place in the northern part of the Property to follow up on four known geochemical anomalies in that area and possible extensions of the existing Silverknife prospect identified by the 2021 SkyTEM airborne geophysical survey. A gravity survey will be initiated as soon as spring conditions allow, and the results of that survey are then expected to guide drill site selection. The Silverknife Prospect is located directly on the western boundary of the Silvertip Mining claims and the mine and mill are located approximately 1 km east-southeast of the Prospect.

From Data to Discovery: How AI is Changing the Face of Modern Mining

Mineral exploration is one of the riskiest and most capital-intensive phases of the mining lifecycle. The process has traditionally relied heavily on historical geological records, field surveys and extensive drilling, often with low success rates and long time horizons. But a new wave of digital innovation is reshaping the landscape.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced data analytics are increasingly at the forefront of a quiet revolution in mining, offering tools that enhance discovery potential, reduce exploration risk and deliver stronger returns for investors.

Historically, mineral exploration has been marked by high uncertainty and significant financial risk. Companies spend millions of dollars poring over old geological maps, conducting labor-intensive fieldwork and drilling test holes — all in hopes of finding an economically viable deposit. In fact, industry data suggests that only a tiny fraction of exploration projects — approximately one in a thousand — ever reaches production. This low success rate has often made early-stage mining investments difficult to assess and even harder to justify without deep technical insights or a strong appetite for risk.

Top 5 Canadian Silver Stocks of 2025

Silver-mining companies and juniors have seen support from a strong silver price in 2025. Since the start of the year, the price of silver has increased by over 11 percent as of April 11, and it reached a year-to-date high of US$34.38 per ounce on March 27.

Silver’s dual function as a monetary and industrial metal offers great upside. Demand from energy transition sectors, especially for use in the production of solar panels, has created tight supply and demand forces.

Demand is already outpacing mine supply, making for a positive situation for silver-producing companies.

ASX Silver Stocks: 5 Biggest Companies in 2025

Silver is often compared to gold due to its importance in jewellery and as a safe-haven investment.

However, silver has many industrial applications too, including in electronics, automobiles and silverware, as well as medicine and photography. Energy transition applications are a growing demand sector for silver too — the metal is valued for its conductive capacity, which makes it particularly useful in the production of photovoltaic panels.

Silver supply has tightened in recent years as industrial demand rises. This was one of several factors that helped the silver price break through the US$34 per ounce mark in October 2024 for the first time since 2012. Heading into the second quarter of 2025, silver once again tested the US$34 level, although it has pulled back to US$31 amid market volatility as of April 10.
