Nevada Sunrise discovers new target areas at Griffon Gold Mine Project, Nevada

Nevada Sunrise Metals Corp. [TSXV: NEV; OTC Pink: NVSGF] reported that it has deepened its partnership with VRIFY Technology Inc. (VRIFY) by leveraging DORA, VRIFY’s AI-Assisted Mineral Discovery Platform, to identify new target areas at the Griffon Gold Mine Project in Nevada, USA.

In February 2025, the company entered into a mining lease to purchase Griffon from an arm’s-length party. Gold was mined at Griffon in two open pits from 1998 to 1999 and was reported to have produced 62,661 ounces of oxide gold until its premature closure in 1999, a year when the price of gold averaged approximately US$278 per ounce.

In March 2025, the company announced a partnership with VRIFY to implement innovative AI software at the Project. During Q2 2025, VRIFY’s Geoscience AI teams worked closely with Nevada Sunrise in compiling, cleansing and expanding upon decades of available historical exploration data collected since the discovery of gold at the Project in 1986.

The historical data includes surface geological, geochemical, and geophysical results, as well as a digitized drill hole database, which created a comprehensive, high-quality dataset. Using DORA, several areas within the Project were identified as having high prospectivity for additional gold mineralization.

Nevada Sunrise plans to conduct Soil Gas Hydrocarbon and conventional soil surveys and perform ground geophysical surveys over the new target areas early in the fall of 2025 to validate these findings and define future drill targets for the Project.

The 2025 work will initially focus on an area southwest of the Hammer Ridge pit that was identified as gold-bearing by Alta Gold Co. but was never mined due to Alta’s untimely bankruptcy in 1999. Once a geochemical and geophysical signature of the unmined Anvil Zone is established, the company will seek to compare those signatures to the new targets developed by the VRIFY software.

Griffon Permitting Update: In late July 2025, Nevada Sunrise submitted a Notice of Intent (NOI) to the United States Forest Service (the USFS) to advise the USFS of its initial surface exploration plans at Griffon. The NOI contained details of a proposed SGH soil sampling survey, an induced polarization (IP) survey and a controlled source audio frequency magnetotellurics (CSAMT) survey that the company plans to carry out on the newly-identified target areas within the project.

On August 11, 2025, the USFS responded positively to the company’s exploration proposal and plans are underway to perform the aforementioned exploration work in the fall of 2025 before inclement weather begins in the region.

VRIFY is redefining mineral discovery by putting the power of AI into the hands of geoscientists with mission-critical exploration software. DORA, VRIFY’s AI-Assisted Mineral Discovery Platform, empowers technical teams to leverage the industry’s largest proprietary exploration dataset and mineral system-specific AI models to identify, rank, and validate high-potential targets faster, and with greater confidence. A high-growth software company trusted globally by over 170 mineral exploration and mining companies, VRIFY is shaping a new era of exploration and discovery.

By integrating Griffon’s project-specific data with VRIFY’s industry-leading database, DORA’s proprietary algorithms have identified patterns that would be time consuming and difficult, if not impossible, to extract through manual processes alone, delivering data-backed insights and highlighting high-potential areas of mineralization.

Using DORA, Nevada Sunrise will gain direct access to the web-based software, receive comprehensive training, and be able to generate and iterate on their own predictive models, allowing for hands-on exploration targeting and validation.

Griffon is located approximately 50 km (33 miles) southwest of Ely, Nevada and consists of 89 unpatented mineral claims totaling approximately 1,780 acres (720 hectares). Griffon is situated within a 60-km (40-mile) section of the Battle Mountain-Eureka trend, which hosts the following gold mines and significant deposits.

Gold Rock (formerly Easy Junior): Also the subject of a purchase and sale transaction between Minera Alamos Inc. and Equinox Gold. Reported to host Measured and Indicated resources of 370,700 oz. gold and Inferred resources of 58,100 oz. gold and was reported as producing 12,100 ounces of gold in the years 1990 and 1997.

Mt. Hamilton: Owned by Bendito Resources Inc. Reported to host Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves of 545,000 oz. gold and 4,459,600 oz. silver contained within Measured and Indicated resources of 727,000 oz. gold and 6,569,000 oz. silver, and Inferred resources of 119,000 oz. gold and 1,153,000 oz. silver.

Green Springs: Owned by Orla Mining Ltd., and currently under option to Centerra Gold Inc. Historical production at Green Springs of 63,000 oz. of gold was reported from 1988 to 1991 under USMX Inc.’s heap leach operation.

Lookout Mountain: Operated by Timberline Resources Corporation. Reported to host Measured and Indicated resources of 423,000 oz. gold, and Inferred resources of 84,000 oz. gold. Historical production of 17,700 oz. gold was reported in 1987.

Nevada Sunrise holds interests in gold, copper and lithium exploration projects located in Nevada. It holds the right to purchase a 100% interest in the Griffon Gold Mine Project.

Nevada Sunrise holds the right to earn a 100% interest in the Coronado Copper Project, located approximately 48 kilometers (30 miles) southeast of Winnemucca, NV.

Nevada Sunrise owns 100% interests in the Gemini (currently the subject of an option-to-purchase transaction with Dome Rock Resources, LLC), Jackson Wash and Badlands lithium projects, all of which are located in the Lida Valley in Esmeralda County, NV. Gemini hosts an Inferred lithium resource estimate of 7.1 million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent, described in a NI 43-101 compliant technical report entitled “NI 43-101 Technical Report, Resource Estimate for Gemini Lithium Project, Esmeralda County, Nevada”, effective January 15, 2024, and dated March 8, 2024.

As a complement to its exploration projects in Esmeralda County, the company owns Nevada Water Right Permit 86863, also located in the Lida Valley basin, near Lida, NV.
