Hercules Metals drills into phyllic, skarn alteration at Idaho Hook porphyry target

• Hercules Metals flagged evidence of a new porphyry center at the Hook target on its Hercules Property in western Idaho.
• Reconnaissance hole HER-26-03 hit intense phyllic alteration with 5%-10% pyrite, consistent with margins of a porphyry copper system.
• Hook outlines a 1.8-km IP chargeability anomaly; the strongest 500 m core runs about 20-40 mV/V, modeled from roughly 100 m depth.
• Permitting started for temporary access roads and drill pads to test the anomaly core; follow-up drilling targeted to start in 2027.
• Assays remain pending; results expected to guide vectoring toward the system rather than deliver significant copper-molybdenum intercepts.
