Vancouver, British Columbia — December 18, 2025 — Leads & Copy — Nevada Sunrise Metals Corporation has completed surface geophysical and geochemical exploration surveys at its Griffon Gold Mine Project in White Pine County, Nevada.
The Griffon project hosts a past-producing gold mine within the Battle Mountain-Eureka Gold Belt. The Fall 2025 surface exploration program was based on AI-generated analysis by VRIFY Technology Inc. of the historical Griffon geological and geophysical database.
Over 700 soil samples collected by APEX Geoscience USA will undergo partial leach geochemical analysis using Ionic Leach and Soil Gas Hydrocarbon methods. These methods can detect subtle indications of buried mineralization.
APEX conducted a 50-line kilometre “walking mag” survey, providing the first high-resolution magnetic data at Griffon. Preliminary interpretation has revealed structural information about the Discovery Ridge and Hammer Ridge deposits, which can be applied to other target areas.
SJ Geophysics Ltd. performed 3D induced polarization/resistivity and audiomagnetotellurics surveys, consisting of 16.8 line kilometres on grids, to investigate subsurface resistivity and chargeability characteristics. These surveys are the first of their kind since the discovery of gold on the property in 1986.
Nevada Sunrise President and CEO Warren Stanyer said the work was completed during favorable autumn weather. The integration of new geochemical and geophysical data with VRIFY’s AI predictive model will help develop Griffon drill targets for 2026.
The company expects to receive geochemical analyses and geophysical modeling from the ground surveys in January 2026. Re-sampling and multi-element geochemical analysis of reverse circulation drill cuttings collected at Griffon by Fremont Gold Ltd. (now Hayasa Metals Inc.) in 2020 is in progress. The analytical package will include pathfinder elements that could enhance drill targeting.
In late September 2025, Nevada Sunrise submitted a Plan of Operations for Griffon to the United States Forest Service to advise the USFS of the Company’s proposed surface disturbance and 2026 drilling plans at Griffon. Receipt of the Plan was confirmed in October 2025 and the Company awaits comments from the USFS regarding the timing and recommended execution of environmental baseline surveys that are a requisite before the commencement of drilling.
Griffon is located approximately 50 kilometres southwest of Ely, Nevada, and consists of 89 unpatented mineral claims totaling approximately 1,780 acres. It is situated within a 60 kilometre section of the Battle Mountain-Eureka Belt.
In February 2025, the Company entered into a mining lease to purchase Griffon. Gold was mined at Griffon from 1998 to 1999, producing 62,661 ounces of oxide gold until its closure in 1999.
Robert Allender Jr, CPG, SME, a Qualified Person for Nevada Sunrise, has reviewed and approved the technical information in the release.
Management cautions that historical results were collected and reported by operators unrelated to Nevada Sunrise and have not been verified nor confirmed by its Qualified Person; however, the historical results create a scientific basis for ongoing work at the Griffon property. Management further cautions that historical results, discoveries and published resource estimates on adjacent or nearby mineral properties, whether in stated current resource estimates or historical resource estimates, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved on the Griffon property.
