Vancouver, BC August 20, 2025 TheNewswire - Quantum Critical Metals Corp. (TSX.V: LEAP | OTCQB: ATOXF | FSE: 86A1) ("Quantum" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that crews have been dispatched to complete site visits on its Babine copper projects north of Smithers, B.C. The objectives for the site visits are to establish access to the properties and to locate and verify previous Minfile showings while continuing geological mapping and undertaking grab samples where possible on the claims.
Babine North
The Babine North property covers the historic Friday Red copper B.C. Minfile showing, which hosts disseminated chalcopyrite within a unit of volcanic rocks. It is located 90 km east of Hazelton, B.C. The geology consists of volcanic rocks interbedded with mudstones of the Lower Jurassic Telkwa Formation, intruded by a highly magnetic feldspar porphyry dike.
Babine East
The Babine East package is situated along the western side of the northwest arm of Takla Lake and hosts the Adda B.C. Minfile showing. Historical assays reported 5.49 g/t silver and 10.6% copper from veins of chalcopyrite measuring 5–7.6 cm in width.
Babine South & Swift
The Babine South property covers the B.C. Minfile Bol showing on the north side of Babine Lake, where historical sampling yielded silver values up to 2,790 g/t (99.6 oz/t). The geology is Cache Creek greenstone, with mineralization occurring in quartz-carbonate veins and shears within foliated greenstone, hosting galena, sphalerite, tetrahedrite, chalcopyrite, native silver, pyrrhotite, and pyrite.
The Babine Swift property covers 487 hectares and hosts a historic Minfile showing with several styles of mineralization. Disseminated chalcopyrite and pyrite are hosted in andesite intermittently over 2 km. Stringer quartz occurs with chalcopyrite, quartz-carbonate veins range from a few centimetres to 1.5 metres wide with hematite and trace chalcopyrite, and massive sulfide boulders are also present. Grab samples returned 0.46–1.28% copper, 11.6–14.8 g/t silver, and 0.13–2.15 g/t gold.
Babine West
The Babine West property covers 2,300 hectares and borders the western side of American Eagle's NAK deposit (TSXV: AE) and Amarc Resources' Duke Property (TSXV: AHR). Results from 2024 exploration on this project were reported in a news release dated March 13, 2025.
