# Abitibi Metals Intersects 17.91% CuEq (13.48% Cu, 5.15g/t Au) over 6.3m Within 6.93% CuEq over 19.5m in Western Zone Expansion *2025-11-20T07:00:00-05:00* Abitibi Metals Intersects 17.91% CuEq (13.48% Cu, 5.15g/t Au) over 6.3m Within 6.93% CuEq over 19.5m in Western Zone Expansion Highest grade intercept to date on project confirmed across an untested 80-metre gap **Highlights:** - **Exceptional High-Grade Intercept in Untested Gap:** - **Hole 1274-17-269W5**returned **17.91% CuEq (13.48% Cu, 5.15 g/t Au)**over 6.3 metres, within **6.93% CuEq over 19.5 metres**, starting at 976.5 metres depth. - Confirms world class grade continuity across an untested 80-metre gap, defining a newly identified high-grade zone within the Western Plunge. - Strong gold credit **significantly enhances the block model**. Using spot CuEq⁴ pricing, the intercept equates to **23.83% CuEq over 6.3 metres**, within **9.28% CuEq over 19.5 metres**. - Located ~100 metres east of Hole 1274-17-269W3 (4.46% CuEq over 21.1 metres), further upgrading the model in this area. - **Western Plunge Expansion** - Hole 1274-25-373W2 intersected the B26 Copper-Gold horizon, extending mineralization 150 metres down plunge. - **CEO Commentary - Potential Source Zone Emerging:** - "It has been our thesis that a more massive, higher-grade source exists for the copper-gold stringer zone. With this intercept, we believe we may be onto that source - and we will follow up to target the discovery of a 15 to 30-metre, 10%+ CuEq zone at depth." - Jonathon Deluce, CEO, Abitibi Metals London, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 20, 2025) - **Abitibi Metals Corp**_._(CSE: AMQ) (OTCQB: AMQFF) (FSE: FW0) ("**Abitibi**" or the "**Company**") is pleased to report a new world-class high-grade copper-gold intercept from its ongoing Phase 3 drill program at the **B26 Polymetallic Deposit**("**B26**" or the "**Deposit**") in Québec. **The Company's resource improvement drilling campaign continues to outperform expectations**, confirming exceptional**grade continuity**and delivering **one of the strongest copper-gold intercepts ever recorded at B26**in hole 269W5. This world-class intercepts in hole 269W5 highlight areas of outstanding grade potential, paving the way for substantial resource growth and enhanced potential project economics. A webinar will be held on Friday November 21stat 10:00am EST to present the results in more detail.

With this intercept we see mineralization strengthening at depth, clearly demonstrating that B26 hosts high-value zones capable of materially enhancing the overall grade profile and supporting future resource growth within a deposit already ranked among the top 10% of the largest felsic VMS systems globally. "It has been our thesis that a more massive, higher-grade source exists for the copper-gold stringer zone. With this intercept, we believe we may be onto that source - and we will follow up to target the discovery of a 15 to 30-metre, 10%+ CuEq zone at depth." Louis Gariépy, P.Geo., Vice President Exploration of Abitibi Metals, commented: "The grades encountered in hole 1274-17-269W5 are exceptional by any measure. Using current metal prices, the interval equates to a spot copper-equivalent grade of 23.83% CuEq over 6.3 metres, representing material valued at roughly C$3,500 per tonne - nearly ten times higher than nearby historic intercepts. The interval is dominated by a thick chalc
