Vancouver, Canada, July 2 2025 TheNewswire - Electrum Discovery Corp. (" Electrum " andor the " Company ") (TSX-V:ELY | FRA:R8N | OTC:ELDCF) is pleased to announce the results of 3D inversion modelling of ground magnetic data and to outline upcoming fieldwork plans at its Timok East Project ( " Timok East " andor the " Project " ) in eastern Serbia.
| Highlights:

"The 3D inversion results have provided an important new dimension to our geophysical understanding at Timok East," said Dr. Elena Clarici, CEO of Electrum Discovery Corp. "The continuity of magnetic features with depth, and particularly along the Bambino Trend and Western Mag target, enhances their significance. With our soil sampling and geological mapping programs now underway, we are moving to convert these compelling geophysical anomalies into well-constrained drilling targets."
Electrum has received results from 3D inversion modelling of its high-resolution ground magnetic survey at Timok East. Modelling was carried out by Terra Scout Ltd. (Sofia, Bulgaria) an experienced provider of ground magnetic data acquisition and modelling.
The model suggests multiple vertically extensive magnetic zones with elevated magnetic susceptibility values potentially caused by magnetite-bearing intrusions or skarn-style alteration. Key observations at each target include:
Bambino Trend
Along the Bambino Trend, the 3D inversion model highlights a prominent 7.5-kilometer NNW-trending corridor of elevated magnetic susceptibility extending from surface to depths exceeding 1 kilometre. This anomaly coincides with copper, gold, and silver anomalies in surface rock chip samples and copper-in-soil anomalism at both the Bambino prospect and the Northern Skarn target (Figure 1 & 2).
A soil sampling grid (~180 samples) is planned to test the northern portion of the corridor, where magnetic intensity is strongest, for signatures of underlying mineralization (Figure 1 & 3).
Western Mag Target
The Western Mag target is defined by a large, vertically continuous magnetic high along a major NNW-trending structural corridor. Fieldwork has confirmed the anomaly is spatially associated with outcrops of Phase 1 andesitic volcanics, a lithology well known to host copper-gold systems elsewhere in the Timok region (Figure 1 & 2).
The anomaly extends south beneath Neogene cover, indicating potential for concealed targets.
Analysis results are awaited for a soil grid of 225 samples that has been collected to assess geochemical indicators for porphyry-style mineralization at the Western Mag target (Figure 3).
Limestone-Boundary Target
At the Limestone-Boundary target, an WNW-trending magnetic anomaly has been identified along the boundary between non-magnetic to weakly magnetic Jurassic limestone and Palaeozoic sediments. This boundary is considered prospective for skarn and carbonate replacement ( " CRD " ) mineralization.
The modelled anomaly dips west towards the Timok Magmatic Complex, displays moderate magnetic susceptibility and continuity to depths of approximately 850 metres, and may indicate localised magnetite enrichment potentially linked to unmapped intrusive dykes or to hydrothermally sourced magnetite enrichment (Figure 1 & 2).
A soil grid (~140 samples) along with scout geological mapping is planned to investigate the cause of the magnetic anomaly and identify geochemical signatures that may indicate the presence of hydrothermal mineralization associated with this boundary (Figure 3).
Summer 2025 Exploration Plan
-
Soil sampling, field mapping, and prospecting across defined target areas to identify geochemical anomalies and identify geochemical signatures that may indicate underlying mineralization.
-
Deeper geophysical surveys (e.g., CSAMT, HIRIP, or AMT) over soil-defined targets to generate resistivity models of the subsurface to guide drill targeting.
-
Ground magnetic survey at the northern part of the Timok East Project, i.e. the Bukova Glava permit, to delineate prospective intrusives and support ongoing field mapping and target definition.

1 Preliminary Economic Assessment and NI43-101 Technical Report for the Medgold Tlamino Project, January 7, 2021, www.sedarplus.ca . The effective date of the resource estimate is January 7, 2021. Authors of the Reports are: Mr. Richard Siddle, MAIG, of Addison Mining Services Ltd for Mineral Resources; Dr. Matthew Randall, FIMMM, of Axe Valley Mining Consultants Ltd for Mining; Mr. Ian Jackson, FIMMM, of Bara Consulting for Mineral Processing, and Dr. Andrew Bamber, MCIM, of Bara Consulting Ltd for Economic Analysis.
The PEA is preliminary in nature, and it includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be characterized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the PEA will be realised.
