VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / August 19, 2025 / Strategic Metals Ltd. (TSXV:SMD) ("Strategic" or the "Company") is pleased to announce results from an exploration program at its wholly owned Triple Crown Project in southwest Yukon. The Project lies within the Dawson Range Gold Belt, a district that includes the Coffee, Casino, Klaza and other gold, copper and silver deposits.
In June 2025, the Company completed a program of geological mapping, prospecting and hand trenching at Triple Crown. Hand trenches at the Southeast Zone were excavated along strike from trenches completed by Strategic in 2016 (Figure 1), which had returned results of 570 g/t silver over 6.4 m (Strategic Metals News Release, August 2016). Mineralization is hosted in semi-massive to massive galena, tetrahedrite and malachite veins, as well as strongly oxidized, banded to brecciated quartz veins, within a 750 by 1000 m area. Continuous chip samples from the 2025 trenches yielded highlight results of 2740 g/t silver over 0.5 m, 830 g/t silver over 1.5 m and 158 g/t silver over 8.75 m. Results from both programs are tabulated in the table below.

*2016 analysis
Prospecting and sampling also returned assays of up to 8.37 g/t gold from grab and composite samples collected at the newly identified Central Zone porphyry target. The target covers a 1000 m by 900 m, copper (up to 4780 ppm) and bismuth (up to 427 ppm) soil anomaly that is underlain by Mid-Cretaceous Whitehorse Suite granodiorite to syenite, Late Cretaceous Carmacks Group intermediate to basic volcanic rocks and various types of dykes.
Triple Crown is considered to be highly prospective for silver- and gold-rich epithermal veins outboard of a porphyry-type copper-gold system. The mineralization has received little historical exploration and has never been drilled.
Analytical work was done by ALS Minerals, with sample preparation in Whitehorse, Yukon and assays and geochemical analyses completed in North Vancouver, British Columbia. All rock samples were analyzed for gold by fire assay fusion and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (Au-ICP21) and 48 other elements by four acid digestion and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ME-MS61). Overlimit values were determined for silver, lead and zinc by four acid digestion and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (Ag- and Pb-OG62). Further overlimit analysis for samples with silver values greater than 1500 g/t were analyzed by fire assay using a gravimetric finish (Ag-GRA21).
Technical information in this news release has been approved by Strategic's Vice President Exploration, Jackson Morton, P.Geo., a qualified person as defined under the terms of National Instrument 43-101.
