Comet Resources Limited (Comet or Company) (ASX: CRL) is pleased to announce that it has executed a binding agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Mt Margaret Copper Project and associated regional tenements near Cloncurry, Queensland (Project or Mt Margaret) from Mount Isa Mines Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Glencore Plc (Acquisition).
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Comet to acquire 100% of Mt Margaret Copper Project from Glencore
- The Mt Margaret Copper Project successfully produced from open pit mining from 2012 until 2014, when operations were suspended due to the copper price environment and outlook at that time
- Located only 7km from key processing infrastructure at Ernest Henry, where Mt Margaret ore was previously processed into export quality copper concentrate
- JORC open-pit Resources of 13.0Mt at 0.78% copper and 0.24g/t gold with >95% in the Measured and Indicated categories'
- Near-term production potential — 2 open-pit deposits are already pre-stripped
- Significant potential for resource growth through further exploration
- Defined high priority exploration targets — both extensional and regional
- The Company to raise approx. $50 million to fund acquisition and initial post-acquisition pre-development activities
Managing Director, Matthew O'Kane commented, "Acquisition of the Mt Margaret Copper Project is a truly transformational event for Comet. Mt Margaret is a substantial past-producing copper mine that we've been able to acquire due to portfolio rationalisation of a global tier one mining company. It contains existing Mineral Resources of 13.0Mt at approximately 1% copper equivalent', with over 95% of this resource in the Measured and Indicated categories. The majority of Mt Margaret's Resource sits in two already pre-stripped open-pits providing reduced capex pathways to production."
ACQUISITION OVERVIEW
Comet has entered into a share sale agreement (MTM Acquisition Agreement) with Minerals Mining and Metallurgy Limited (ACN 645 972 309) (MMM), Mount Isa Mines Limited (ACN 009 661 447) (MIM) and Mount Margaret Mining Pty Ltd (ACN 150 366 224) (MTM) pursuant to which MIM has agreed to sell, and MMM has agreed to buy, 100% of the issued capital in MTM (MTM Shares). MTM is the owner of the Project. Neither MMM, MIM or MTM are related parties of the Company.
The consideration for the acquisition of the MTM Shares is:
- a non-refundable payment by MMM of $5,000,000 to MIM; and(ii) on completion, the issue by Comet (such issue to be procured by MMM) of 25,000,000 to MIM; and
- on completion, the issue by Comet (such issue to be procured by MMM) of 25,000,000fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of Comet (Shares) to MIM (or its nominee) (at an aggregate deemed issue price for those Shares of $0.20 per Share, equal to an amount of $5,000,000.
In addition, the Company has entered into a share sale agreement (MMM Acquisition Agreement) with MMM and the current shareholders of MMM (MMM Vendors) pursuant to which the MMM Vendors have agreed to sell, and the Company has agreed to buy, 100% of the issued capital in MMM. The consideration for the acquisition of the MMM Shares is 73,550,000 Shares (Consideration Shares) and 36,775,000 options to acquire Shares (Consideration Options), to be issued to the MMM Vendors and new shareholders of MMM since execution of the MMM Acquisition Agreement as follows:
Summaries of the key terms of the MTM Acquisition Agreement and MMM Acquisition Agreement are set out in Annexure A to this announcement.

Juggernaut Further Increases Oversubscribed Financing to $9,557,000 due to Tremendous Strong Demand from Institutions and Accredited Investors
Vancouver, British Columbia TheNewswire - April 25 th, 2025 Juggernaut Exploration Ltd. (TSX-V: JUGR) (OTCQB: JUGRF) (FSE: 4JE) (the "Company" or "Juggernaut"), further to its April 14 th and April 23 rd 2025, news releases, the Company is pleased to announce a further increase in its non-brokered financing of up to $9,557,000. Juggernaut welcomes this strategic investment from Crescat Capital Funds LLC ("Crescat") and technical support from Dr Quinton Hennigh. Juggernaut's Big One Project is garnering strong interest and support from leading institutions and miners globally, confirming the quality of the newly discovered 11 km Highway of Gold surrounding the Eldorado porphyry system on the Big One property. The exciting discovery is in an area of glacial and snowpack abatement next door to the gold-rich porphyry systems at Newmont Mining's Galore Creek. The Big One Property is a discovery previously announced Jan 20 th (Click Link) with assays up to 79.01 gt gold (2.54 ozt gold) and 3157.89 gt silver (101.5 ozt silver) from over 200 gold-silver-copper rich polymetallic veins up to 8 m wide and striking for up to 500 m that all remain open at surface. The Big One Project covers 33,693 hectares in a world-class geologic terrane with tremendous additional discovery potential in the heart of the Golden Triangle, British Columbia.
Dr. Quinton Hennigh has taken on the role of special technical advisor to the Company. He is the technical consultant for all Crescat's gold and silver mining investments. Dr. Hennigh is a world-renowned exploration geologist with over 40 years of experience with major gold mining firms, Homestake Mining, Newcrest Mining, Newmont Mining, and Kirkland Lake/Fosterville. In just the last five years, Dr. Hennigh was instrumental in several material discoveries, including Goliath / Surebet, Newfound / Queensway, SCM / Isidorito, Eloro / Iska Iska, Snowline / Valley, Sitka / RC Gold Project, and Tectonic / Flat.
Dr. Hennigh stated , "The Big One gold-silver project has a very similar feel to Goliath's Surebet gold discovery. To date, reconnaissance prospecting and sampling conducted by Juggernaut's exploration team have identified a multitude of multi-meter thick quartz-sulfide veins, many of which have yielded +oz per tonne Au and multi-oz per tonne Ag assays. Early indications suggest there is a genetic association of veins with late-stage magmatism in the area, an association seen at Surebet. This season, Juggernaut has a clear mandate to follow up on these results with detailed mapping and channel sampling, much like Goliath did during the early days of the Surebet discovery. The Company's mission is to get as many targets as possible ready for drill testing either late season or for 2026. I am very eager to see if a new "Surebet" type discovery is in hand.

The charity flow-through funding will now consist of up to 9,160,000 charity flow-through units ("CFT Units"), priced at $0.825 each, for gross proceeds of up to $7,557,000. Each CFT Unit will consist of one charity flow-through common share plus one warrant to purchase one non-flow-through common share at $0.75 for a sixty-month period with a forced accelerated conversion after 10 consecutive trading days at or above $1.50, callable at management's discretion.
Juggernaut is concurrently raising up to 4,000,000 hard dollar units priced at $0.50 each for gross proceeds of up to $2,000,000. Each hard dollar unit will consist of one common share plus one warrant at $0.75 for a sixty-month period with a forced accelerated conversion after 10 consecutive trading days at or above $1.50, callable at management's discretion, upon completion of the charity flow-through and hard dollar financings for a combined total of $9,557,000, which is projected to close on or before May 15, 2025. The proceeds will be used to explore Juggernaut's properties located in Northwestern B.C. and for general working capital.
"Gold exploration is all about swinging for the fence. Persevering with a diversified portfolio of great management and technical teams with bold targets is the key. The cool thing about Juggernaut is that it has the same geologic team as the one behind Goliath Resources, where their Surebet gold discovery has already been a home run, based on personal experience. We are happy to invest in Juggernaut and this team. It's time for Big One, which may be the best target yet for this company and team. We are eager to support them with capital for another at-bat." - Kevin Smith, CFA, Founder & CEO of Crescat Capital .
Directors and officers of the company may acquire securities under the placement, which participation would be a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"). Such participation is expected to be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101.
Mr. Dan Stuart, Director, President, and CEO of Juggernaut, states:
"We are pleased to strengthen our relationship, both with Crescat Capital as a strategic investor and Dr. Hennigh as a Special Technical Advisor and investor. I look forward to working with our partners who bring a proven track record of both financial and technical strength. This will enable Juggernaut to unlock the full potential of its assets over the long term, building value for all shareholders. This investment and strategic partnership, coupled with the ongoing support and interest from other globally recognized Institutions and senior miners, is a strong endorsement that clearly demonstrates the significant near-term discovery potential of our 100% controlled properties. Post financing, Juggernaut will have an extremely tight capital structure of just 30,025,297 shares, no debt, and a strong cash position of ~ $9,600,000. As such, we are well-positioned to move forward with our plans of drilling The Big One Discovery. With much anticipation, we look forward to executing the inaugural exploration program and reporting results."
The Company may pay finder's fees of the gross proceeds from the financing in cash, and compensation options on units being sold. This non-brokered private placement is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval. All shares issued pursuant to this offering and any shares issued pursuant to the exercise of warrants will be subject to a four-month hold period from the closing date.

Finlay Minerals stakes the JJB Property - within the Bear Lake Corridor of British Columbia
finlay minerals ltd. (TSXV: FYL) (OTCQB: FYMNF) ("Finlay" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the staking of 9 mineral claims covering 15,453 hectares (approximately 154 km²) in the northern Bear Lake Corridor of British Columbia . The JJB Property is named in honour of Finlay's Founder, John J. Barakso who was an early advocate for the potential of the Bear Creek Corridor.
JJB PROPERTY:
The JJB Property is located within a highly prospective 135-kilometer-long belt in the Stikine Terrane, which hosts several significant copper (Cu) and silver (Ag) showings and prospects. Noteworthy nearby projects include Zimtu Capital Corp.'s Copperline Project and Doubleview Gold Corp.'s Red Spring Project. Additionally, porphyry projects along the Bear Lake trend include Imperial Metals' Cu-Mo Porphyry Bear Lake Project, American Eagle Gold's Cu-Au-Mo ± Ag NAK Project, Amarc Resources Ltd.'s DUKE Project, and HDI Quartz Mountain's Cu Porphyry Jake Project.
The JJB area has geology similar to that of the deposits found in the Bear Lake Corridor. Three main copper showings have been identified on the property: Squingula, Quin, and Pat. The Squingula and Quin showings are located near an Eocene intrusion on the west side, characterized by a coincident magnetic high. This magnetic high is surrounded by a low that corresponds with an iron oxide anomaly, potentially indicative of a porphyry target. Both the intrusion and the magnetic and iron oxide signatures are associated with a multi-element geochemical anomaly identified through limited sampling. Mineralization appears to be influenced by major northwest-trending structures and east-west cross structures, with known mineralization occurring at the intersections of these structures.
In 2025, exploration work at the JJB will focus on expanding the geochemical anomalies within the gossanous magnetic low surrounding the magnetic high. Priority will be given to an airborne magnetic survey, along with prospecting and soil sampling.
Details on the JJB Property can be found in the JJB Property Technical Presentation and in the Properties section of the Company website at www.finlayminerals.com .
SAY PROPERTY:
Lying 4 km south of Finlay's new JJB Property, work continues on the SAY Property, which has recently been expanded with additional staking to the north and south. The SAY Property now totals 26,202 hectares. The SAY Property was acquired in 2024, and an inaugural field program focused on chip sampling and mapping along the 4.3-kilometer-long SPUR Trend. This led to the discovery of the AG Zone and confirmed the continuity of high-grade Cu-Ag mineralization in the East Breccia Zone.
The SPUR is a high-grade Cu-Ag structural vein and breccia target that extends for 4.3 km along the north-northwest Tsaytut Spur ridge * .
The SHEL target area is a Cu-Mo porphyry identified through historic mapping and drilling. SHEL mineralization is reported to be associated with veining and breccias within quartz-feldspar porphyry dikes and lies on the western margin of an unexplored 3 km x 2 km magnetic high * . Historical assays and airborne magnetic data indicate the potential for the expansion of known mineralization in these two target areas.
In 2025, exploration work at the SAY will aim to expand the mineralized footprint of the SPUR and SHEL targets through geological mapping, soil sampling, and an airborne magnetic survey.
Details on the SAY Property, can be found in the SAY Property Technical Presentation and in the Properties section of the Company website at www.finlayminerals.com .

Additional High-Grade Copper Confirmed at Cinto, Peru
HIGHLIGHTS
- More copper porphyry mineralisation identified at Cinto (100% Solis Minerals) from channel sample assays (highlights):
- 26.5m @ 0.28% Cu (Channel 11), including 5.4m @1.0% Cu Previous Cinto channel sample assays returned highlights1:
- 23.4m @ 0.88% Cu (Channel 1)
- 16.8m @ 0.52% Cu (Channel 6)
- Results indicate porphyry copper mineralisation of various styles across a potential area 3km long and 0.75km wide.
- Induced-Polarisation (IP) survey planning underway to support drill target definition.
- Permitting initiated for drilling at Cinto in second half of 2025.
- Solis Minerals considers copper mineralisation at Cinto consistent with nearby Toquepala (one of Peru’s largest copper mines with 2.1Bt @ 0.47% Cu – 200ktpa Cu production)2.
Chief Executive Officer, Mitch Thomas, commented:
“These results confirm the significant potential at the Cinto Project, where we've substantially expanded Solis’ porphyry copper mineralisation footprint. Notably, we're seeing mineralisation styles similar to those at the major Toquepala mine, just 15km away. Geophysical data from drone magnetometry supports scale potential and highlights new target areas. As a stand-alone project, Cinto is a compelling copper porphyry target.
Our on-ground team recently hosted site visits for our technical director Mike Parker and myself across our project portfolio. Visible mineralisation at surface at Ilo Este and Cinto was a highlight. The clear, visible prospectivity in our projects very much aligns with our objective of identifying copper-gold resources that have potential to host large-scale mining in one of the world’s leading copper producing regions.
With drilling set to begin at Chancho al Palo3 and Ilo Este this quarter, and Cinto advancing toward drilling in the second half of 2025, Solis Minerals’ portfolio of 100% owned projects has incredible potential for discovery of multiple copper-gold resources capable of supporting mining operations.”
Summary
Exploration results at Cinto from channel sampling (Table 1) show a continuation of the mineralised breccia zones previously announced on 11 February 2025. A new channel, Channel 11, situated between previously reported Channels 7 and 8, reported 26.5m @ 0.28% Cu, including 5.39m @ 1.0% Cu.
The copper mineralisation encountered at Cinto to date is predominantly in breccias, the major mineralisation host at Toquepala, 15km northwest of Cinto.
