VANCOUVER, BC — January 14, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Finlay Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: FYL) (OTCQB: FYMNF) has announced that its 2025 ATTY exploration program has expanded known targets and identified new copper (Cu) and gold (Au) porphyry targets.
The ATTY Project is strategically located within a major porphyry corridor in the Toodoggone district and operates under an Earn-In Agreement with Freeport-McMoRan Mineral Properties Canada Inc.
Highlights from the 2025 ATTY Exploration Program include:
- Expanding the Wrich Cu-Au porphyry target to a 1,200 meter x 1,200 meter area.
- Discovering the new Wrich Hill Au target.
- Discovering the new Pyramid West and Pyramid East Cu-Au porphyry targets.
- Further extending the Valley chargeability target by 500 meters (“m”) to the southeast.
- Adding geological and geophysical definition to the porphyry corridor targets within the ATTY Property.
According to Ilona B. Lindsay, Finlay’s President & CEO, the company is pleased with the results of the 2025 ATTY program and is planning for 2026. Lindsay added that the expansion of known targets, along with the discovery of multiple new targets, has reinforced ATTY’s position between Freeport-AMARC’s Joy Property and Centerra Gold’s Kemess Project.
The 2025 exploration program expanded on previous work outlining an 8.5-kilometer northwestern porphyry trend, which includes the Wrich, Pyramid, and KEM/Attycelley targets. Soil sampling, geological mapping, geophysics, and historical data have established targets at the ATTY, all of which show exploration potential.
The Wrich Cu-Au porphyry target has strong soil anomalies and is closely linked to Takla Group volcanic rocks. 2022 drilling at SWT confirmed anomalous gold and copper zones near a porphyry system; notably, hole JP22028 intersected 78 meters at 0.09% CuEq (0.02% Cu, 0.11 g/t Au, 0.04 g/t Ag).
The Wrich Hill target is a newly identified geochemical anomaly (1,200 m x 600 m) with elevated gold, bismuth, lead, tellurium, and zinc in soil samples. North of Wrich Hill, drilling on the JOY Property in 2022 found Au-Ag-Cu mineralization, including 108 meters at 0.03% Cu, 0.23 g/t Au, and 6.4 g/t Ag in hole JP22044, within advanced argillic alteration zones.
The Pyramid copper-gold porphyry target consists of two areas:
Pyramid West contains a 200 m x 200 m copper-gold-molybdenum-tellurium soil anomaly open to the north, with a single IP line showing a 500 m chargeability high, cut off by a southern fault. Pyramid East features a continuous IP chargeability high potentially linked to the Wrich target, trending southeast toward an 800 m x 850 m copper-gold geochemical anomaly and a circular magnetic feature.
The 2025 program expanded an already significant IP chargeability anomaly by 500 meters to the southeast, bringing it to 1.5 km width and 1.8 km length. Earlier drilling conducted in 2019 revealed anomalous copper in propylitic and phyllic-altered Takla Group rocks, suggesting potential proximity to a porphyry system.
Geological mapping at the KEM copper-gold porphyry target has improved its prospects for discovery. Recent quartz vein samples near the KEM mineral yielded up to 0.685% copper, 0.135 g/t gold, and 99.2 g/t silver. Both KEM and Attycelley sites exhibit IP and geological traits similar to the Kemess North Trend.
The 2025 Exploration Program completed on the ATTY consisted of:
- 543 line-km of airborne magnetics
- 152 rock samples collected
- 647 soil and talus samples collected
- 14 line-km of IP
Both the ATTY and PIL exploration programs are fully funded through Earn-In Agreements with Freeport. Under these agreements, Freeport can earn up to an 80% interest in each property by funding a total of $35 million in exploration expenditures and making cash payments of $4.1 million over a six-year period.
Wade Barnes, P. Geo. and Vice President, Exploration for Finlay Minerals and a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, has approved the technical content of this news release.
Finlay is a TSXV company focused on exploration for base and precious metal deposits through the advancement of its ATTY, PIL, JJB, SAY and Silver Hope Properties.
