A total of 5,733,000 Warrants issued on August 30,2022 with an exercise price of C$0.75 per share expired unexercised on September 2, 2025.
The Company is also pleased to announce the addition of 7 drillholes to its previously announced eastern expansion drill program (the "Eastern Expansion Program") at its Tonopah West mineral project located in Nye and Esmeralda Counties, Nevada, United States ("Tonopah West"), targeting the 1.2 kilometre Eastern Expansion zone between the DPB resource area and the eastern extent of Tonopah West (see July 21, 2025 news release). With the inclusion of the additional 7 drillholes, the Eastern Expansion Program consists of a total of 22 drillholes and up to 7,000 metres (23,000 feet) of drilling. A total of 19 drillholes have been completed to date and are pending assay results.
Andrew Pollard, Blackrock's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "The C$4.24 million from warrant exercises has strengthened our treasury, positioning us to continue advancing Tonopah West aggressively towards development. Drilling on our Eastern Resource Expansion program is progressing rapidly, with 19 of 22 holes already completed. Our updated mineral resource estimate remains on track for early September 2025, aimed at upgrading a portion of the DPB-South inferred resources to higher confidence categories to help de-risk the early years of our conceptual mine plan. A further resource update, focused on extending mine life, is scheduled for Q1 2026. With a robust treasury, assays pending, and multiple mineral resource updates in view, we are well positioned to close out 2025 with strong momentum as we continue to de-risk and advance the Tonopah West project."
