# Mink Intersects 7.1 Meters of 0.44% Ni, 0.28% Cu, 0.06% Co in Massive Sulphide at Warren Property *2026-03-11T07:10:00-04:00* Mink Intersects 7.1 Meters of 0.44% Ni, 0.28% Cu, 0.06% Co in Massive Sulphide at Warren Property TORONTO, March 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mink Ventures Corporation (TSXV:MINK) (“**Mink**” or the "**Company**" today announced results from the diamond drill program at its Warren Ni Cu Co Property, Timmins, Ontario (Figure 1). The successful drill program intersected mineralization in each drill hole on the A Zone as well as the D Zone, with the highlight of the program found in hole W26-13 which delivered a **massive sulphide zone that returned 0.44% nickel (Ni), 0.28% copper (Cu) and 0.06% cobalt (Co) over 7.1 meters; including a higher-grade interval of 0.58% Ni, 0.18% Cu, and 0.08% Co over 4.0 meters (Figure 5). **Numerous targets and multiple zones of mineralization have been identified on a property wide scale at Warren (Figure 2). This winter drill program was focused on the A Zone. Seven, shallow, drill holes (264 meters) were completed on the A Zone, and a single 111-meter hole tested the D Zone, a known, untested, historical surface nickel occurrence. The presence of nickel, copper, and particularly enriched cobalt within a massive sulphide zone in drill core at Warren supports the potential for the deposition of larger magmatic sulphide zones across the property. In addition, surface occurrences of nickel copper cobalt mineralization that are spatially associated with geophysical targets extend for approximately three (3) km of strike length on the property (Figure 2). In light of the recent drill results, additional drill testing is warranted to further evaluate targets initially in the immediate A Zone area; the adjoining B Zone; and around a newly developing Mise-a-La Masse (MALAM) target (Figures 3 and 4) just east of the A Zone. _Note: Historical B Zone bulk samples returned 2.83% Cu, 0.96% Ni, & 0.11% Co (Reference: Western Troy Capital Resources NI43101, Hawkins, W. P. Eng, 2021__)._ “_In spite of the limited exploration drilling so far, Mink continues to intersect significant mineralization and demonstrate the excellent potential for near surface Ni, Cu, Co bearing magmatic sulphide deposition in multiple targets across the 11.3 km__2__property. We are particularly encouraged by the higher grade cobalt values associated with the nickel mineralization to date. We look forward to continuing our evaluation of Warren with another drill campaign, which our team has already fully permitted in anticipation of a summer drill program,” said Natasha Dixon, CEO._ In the interim, the Company intends to purchase a historical VTEM survey, carried out across the property by previous operators, and have maxwell plate analysis conducted to rank and prioritize the VTEM anomalies. This information will complement the ground induced polarization (IP) surveys and magnetic surveys already in Mink’s data base. Compilation work will prioritize the VTEM responses with known surface mineralization and current ground geophysical data in a preparation for a major drilling campaign. A high level of priority will be given to higher grade occurrences such as the North Zone, with a 100-meter diameter “bulls eye” MALAM response, and assays by Mink geologists which returned grab samples as high as 0.967% Ni and 0.07% Co in massive sulphide.*****Access to the North Zone was hampered in the recent campaign and remains untested. It is a priority target for the summer program. *** **_Reference: Mink Ventures Press Release September 4, 2024._ Additionally, the VTEM survey will also assist in prioritizing potential copper (Cu)-zinc (Zn) volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) targets in a felsic package of rocks along the western flank of the property.** In this location, a historical Morgain Minerals’ drill hole ML-1, in a VMS environment, returned 0.84% Cu over 4.3 meters on the periphery of a large chargeability response with a strike length for 1.3 km (Figure 2). This will be re-evaluated in conjunction with the new VTEM data. _** Reference: Resident Geologist Files, Morgain Minerals, Grant, J., & Lapierre, K., 1996._ | **Table 1: Drill Hole Location** | | | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **DDH #** | **Easting** | **Northing** | **Azimuth** | **Dip** | **Depth** | **Comment** | | W-26-10 | 439389 | 5364364 | N/A | -90 | 30 m. | A Zone | | W-26-11 | 439387 | 5364390 | N/A | -90 | 30 m. | A Zone | | W-26-12 | 439382 | 5364410 | N/A | -90 | 30 m. | A Zone | | W-26-13 | 439379 | 5364420 | N/A | -90 | 30 m. | A Zone | | W-26-14 | 439377 | 5364435 | N/A | -90 | 30 m. | A Zone | | W-26-15 | 439381 | 5364462 | N/A | -90 | 42 m. | A Zone | | W-26-16 | 439370 | 5364505 | N/A | -90 | 42 m. | A Zone | | W-26-17 | 439049 | 5364914 | 90 | -45 | 17 m. | Abandoned | | W-26-17A | 439045 | 5364914 | 90 | -45 | 111 m. | D Zone | | | | | | | | | | **Table 2: Drill Hole Results** | | | | | | | | | -
