METALLIS REPORTS STRONG PROGRESS FROM MID-SEASON DRILLING AT GREYHOUND, IDAHO
The Greyhound is characterized by extensive shear zones that contain polymetallic quartz-sulfide veins hosting silver, gold, and antimony mineralization associated with sphalerite, galena, and stibnite. This multi-metal profile enhances the strategic importance of Property, as antimony contributes roughly 20% of the in-situ value alongside silver and gold. Following recent supply disruptions and export restrictions from
1350' Target
Drilling at the 1350' has expanded a high-grade silver-gold-antimony zone identified from historic mining. The drill holes targeted several zones near the Lower Rufus adit where historical channel sampling† along a 36.9 m length of this adit returned 1.85 g/t Au and 785 g/t Ag (10.6 g/t AuEq*). The 2025 drill plan involved intercepting the shear zone above and below the adit as well as the zone 70 m along strike to the south.
Three drill holes totalling 659.8 m from a single pad have intercepted strong sulphide mineralization over substantial lengths in each hole. Shear zones have varied from 7m to 25m (with unknown true width) and contained sulphides such as arsenopyrite, pyrite, galena, sphalerite and stibnite, all correlative to silver mineralization (See Image 1). The mineralized shear zone has now been traced over 100 m vertically and 70 meters horizontally. With 3 definitive intercepts, the team is now better able to constrain the morphology of the mineralized shear zone.
Bulldog target
At the Bulldog target, four holes totaling 483.6 metres were drilled from two pads centered on a 12 meter wide silver-gold-antimony shear zone where surface samples returned up to 4.9% Sb and 3,360 g/t Ag. Drilling has confirmed semi-massive sulphide zones hosted in quartz-sulphide veins containing pyrite, arsenopyrite, and trace sphalerite, galena, and stibnite.
Structural analysis revealed east-dipping geometries not previously identified, while post-mineral dykes in holes GH25-01 and GH25-04 (See Image 3) may have locally offset mineralization. Multiple mineralized veins were encountered across several holes, suggesting the system is more laterally extensive than initially interpreted.
Four drill holes are planned at the Birdie target totaling approximately 500 m (See Image 5). The drill is currently collared at the Upper Birdie where two scissored drill holes are planned underneath the upper portal. Two more holes are planned off another pad, 50 m southeast at the lower Birdie (See Map 1). The Birdie target is located on a parallel trend to the main Greyhound shear. The results of drilling are expected to increase our understanding of parallel shear zones.
Significant gold and silver have been found at the Birdie target, where two trench cuts located 70 m apart as well as historic adits both revealed a sizeable shear zone with quartz sulfide veins of 1-3 m total width. An 80 cm float rock from the Upper Birdie cut yielded 4,900 g/t Ag with other samples nearby returning up to 67.0 g/t AuEq*. A 50 cm quartz sulphide vein sampled from Lower Birdie cut returned 18.15 g/t Au. These findings emphasize the Birdie as a gold rich zone and highlight the exceptional gold values that were historically overlooked.
About the Greyhound Property
In
The Greyhound targets are hosted by prominent shear zones with polymetallic quartz - sulphide veins containing elevated concentrations of gold, silver, antimony (a critical mineral), lead and zinc. They are comparable to numerous mines in
