White Metal Begins Phase 3 Drilling Program at Tower Mountain Extending Known Gold Mineralization and Ongoing Exploration of New Prospects

White Metal Resources Corp. (TSXV: WHM) (FSE: CGK1) (OTC Pink: TNMLF) ("White Metal" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it will resume diamond drilling with a Phase 3 program on its flagship Tower Mountain Gold Project (the "Project" or "Property"). The Company was successful in delineating gold mineralization in its Phase 1 and Phase 2 drilling programs (see Tables 1 and 2) and will now focus on extending those intersections in the Phase 3 program. Additionally, drilling will test new areas of prospective gold mineralization uncovered during the 2021 mapping and prospecting program.

Michael Stares, President and CEO of White Metal, commented, "I am looking forward to starting the Phase 3 drilling program on the Tower Mountain Gold Project. After identifying numerous new gold prospects such as the Ellen Zone and 110 Zone, I am confident that the Phase 3 program will generate exciting gold-bearing intercepts."

The Tower Mountain Gold Project is a 2,038 hectare gold property located 50 km west of the port city of Thunder Bay, Ontario. The Project has year-round access and is proximal to both the highway and railway lines. Drilling to date totals 6,245.5 metres and confirms that the Property continues to exhibit exceptional potential for large-tonnage, low-grade gold deposits with local high-grade mineralization. The Phase 3 drilling program is designed to continue to extend length, width and at depth of known zones. The next phase of drilling, scheduled to commence in mid-November 2021, will also test the structure and control of higher-grade gold mineralization.

The Tower Mountain Gold Property represents an area of exceptional and widespread gold endowment hosted predominantly within a broad package of metavolcanic rocks intruded by a Neo-Archean, high-level, multi-phase, sub-alkali intrusion. Gold mineralization occurs mostly as disseminated within multi-stage calcic-dominated alteration and also within west-northwest vein arrays and a complex system of hydrothermal breccias which may also have acted as feeder systems.

Summary of the Phase 3 Drill Targets

A Zone

Drill hole TM-21-108 returned 23.8 m grading 3.94 g/t Au (near surface 3.7 m), including 7.5 m grading 8.77 g/t Au (from 8.0 m). Mapping and sampling of the A Zone has been ongoing to gain a better understanding on structural and alteration controls of the gold mineralization.

  • Phase 3 drilling will test along strike and down-dip of the A Zone to test for the continuity of the zone and to further delineate the high-grade gold intercept in TM-21-108.

110 Zone

TM-21-110 that was drilled to test a high-priority DasVision 3D-IP chargeability anomaly, approximately 250 m southeast of the southern extent of the Bench Zone, resulted in the discovery of a new gold zone. The entire length of the hole (143.0 m) returned anomalous gold (average 0.44 g/t Au) with the main part of the zone returning 52.0 m grading 0.75 g/t Au (near surface at 2.5 m), including 7.5 m grading 1.02 g/t Au (from 47.0 m).

  • Phase 3 drilling will be focused on extending the 110 Zone along strike and down-dip.

C & M Zone

The Phase 3 drilling program will test for similarities between the C & M Zone and the 110 Zone that are 600 m apart. Grab samples taken at the C & M Zone returned up to 2.33 g/t and 5.27 g/t Au.

Star Zone

The Star Zone is an exciting new gold prospect located 600 m to the west of the 4-36 Zone. This zone hosts widespread gold mineralization with anomalous gold concentrations ranging from 86 ppb to 4.2 g/t Au over a minimum strike length of 400 m and up to 100 m wide.

  • In Phase 3, two diamond drill holes are planned to test the potential of extending the known surface gold mineralization.

U & V Zone

The Company will also be following up on the U & V Zone where historical drill intercepts were reported such as in TM-04-02 that assayed 1.5 m of 546.80 g/t Au from 42.0 m to 43.5 m and TM-04-03 that assayed 588.89 g/t Au over 1.5 m from 73.5 to 75.0 metres.

  • Phase 3 will test these areas to try and get a better understanding of the control of the high-grade gold mineralization.

Bench Zone

The three previous holes were successful in extending the Bench Zone as much as 50 m to the southwest, with TM-21-105 grading 0.75 g/t Au over 22.5 m including 10.5 m grading 1.11 g/t Au and TM-21-106 grading 0.56 g/t Au over 150 m including 1.01 g/t Au over 58.5 m including 1.74 g/t Au over 15 metres.

  • Phase 3 will focus on expanding the Bench Zone along strike and down-dip of these intersections.

Ellen Zone

The Ellen Zone was discovered during the Phase 1 drilling program and highlighted by the following drill holes: TM-21-94 returned 1.75 g/t Au over 82.5 m, including 3.0 g/t Au over 45.0 m (see news release dated April 20, 2021); TM-21-98 returned 1.11 g/t Au over 34.5 m starting at 72.5 m, including 2.33 g/t Au over 7.5 m; and, TM-21-100 returned 1.23 g/t Au over 90.0 m starting at 23.0 m, including 3.68 g/t Au over 10.5 metres.

  • Phase 3 drilling on the Ellen Zone will be focused on getting a better understanding on the structure and control of the higher-grade gold mineralization.

Top 5 Junior Copper Stocks on the TSXV in 2025

The copper price moved significantly during the first quarter with momentum that carried it to an all time high on the COMEX of US$5.26 per pound on March 26.

The rally in prices was driven by uncertainty in global financial markets due to the threat of tariffs from the United States and President Donald Trump.

This resulted in increased tightness and panic in copper inventories as more shipments were diverted into US warehouses to preempt any potential price hikes. However, prices eased at the beginning of April as concerns about a global recession began to outweigh fears of commodity shortages, causing the price of copper to drop below US$4.50 per pound.
