Vancouver, British Columbia — January 13, 2026 — Leads & Copy — SASQUATCH RESOURCES CORP. (CSE: SASQ) is reporting sampling results from a prospecting and sampling program completed in the fall of 2025 at its Slesse Gold Claims area, comprised of 14 mineral claims covering approximately 1,989 hectares south of Sardis, British Columbia, adjacent to the USA border.
Eleven of the mineral claims covering approximately 1,567 hectares were acquired pursuant to an asset purchase agreement on November 27, 2025, and Sasquatch made application through BC Mineral Titles Online for the remaining 3 mineral claims covering approximately 422 hectares. The application process is expected to be completed within 30-90 days before registration of these 3 claims can be confirmed.
A total of 30 samples were taken from 3 Property areas: the Red Mountain Fault Zone, the Glacier Zone, and the McFarlene Creek Zone. These zones are area references only, and not meant to suggest specific exploration targets, which have not yet been delineated. The prospecting and sampling program was to test various areas which appeared to have significant mineralization either in bedrock or in float boulders, and to subsequently narrow the Company’s focus to conduct more investigations, if and where warranted.
Highlights from the now completed program include:
Ten of 12 samples taken from the Red Mountain Fault Zone exceeded 1g/t gold, with the two highest returning 135.5 g/t and 700 g/t gold respectively.
Eight of 12 samples taken from the Red Mountain Fault Zone exceeded 5% copper, with the two highest at 22.8% and 14.65% copper. In each copper sample exceeding 5%, gold was also highly anomalous, ranging from 3.54 g/t to 19.85 g/t gold.
One sample from the Red Mountain Fault Zone (which did not contain anomalous copper) contained 121 g/t silver and 135.5 g/t gold.
At its south end the Red Mountain Fault Zone is 150m from the historic Red Mountain Gold Mine, just off property and across the border in the USA, which produced for 30 years and closed due to a fire in 1942.
While 18 of the 30 samples taken did not return particularly interesting results, a very high proportion of the remaining 12 samples taken from the Red Mountain Fault Zone, returned excellent values for gold and copper. In one case in this same area, a sample returned low copper but was highly anomalous for silver and gold. The Company plans to engage in further exploration activities in the spring, this time concentrating efforts in the Red Mountain Fault Zone and extending north.
The Red Mountain Fault Zone is immediately adjacent, and continues north, from the historic Red Mountain Gold Mine, which operated from 1913-1942, with an estimated total production of 80,000 tons at an average mill-head grade of 17 g/t gold. A large fire in 1942 destroyed the existing mining infrastructure, and since then only artisanal work has taken place there.
Sasquatch CEO, Peter Smith, commented, “Our fall prospecting and sampling expedition was a great success. Given the extensive mining history in the area, we certainly knew we’d find something interesting, and it seems we’ve successfully narrowed our future focus to a zone which looks to have some truly outstanding potential.”
