Nevada Sunrise Metals

Investor Insight

Nevada Sunrise Metals offers investors exposure to gold exploration and critical metals in one of Nevada’s most active and highly prospective gold belts, supported by advanced AI-driven target generation and a proven technical team guiding multiple discovery-stage projects.

Overview

Nevada Sunrise Metals (TSXV:NEV,OTCP:NVSGF) is a Nevada-focused mineral exploration company with a portfolio of gold, copper and lithium projects. Nevada was ranked the second most attractive exploration district in the world in 2024, providing a strong foundation for the Company’s growth strategy.

At the center of its portfolio is the Griffon Gold Mine project, a past-producing gold asset located within the prolific Battle Mountain–Eureka Trend. Griffon hosts Carlin-type mineralization, produced 62,661 ounces of oxide gold from 1998 to 1999, and benefits from extensive historical drilling, favorable host stratigraphy and new target zones identified by VRIFY’s DORA A.I. predictive modeling. Ongoing geophysics and geochemical programs in 2025 will refine drill targets ahead of a drilling program planned for 2026.

Nevada Sunrise is also advancing the Coronado Copper Project, where it holds the right to earn a 100 percent interest. Coronado is positioned for a planned geophysical program supported by good access and favorable terrain. In addition, the Company owns three lithium exploration projects – Gemini West, Jackson Wash and Badlands – all located in the Lida Valley in Esmeralda County.

To drive discovery across this portfolio, Nevada Sunrise integrates historical data with advanced geophysics, modern geochemical methods, and AI-driven exploration tools. This technology-enhanced approach, combined with experienced leadership and a strong technical team, is central to the Company’s strategy for building shareholder value.

Company Highlights

• Flagship past-producing gold project in a Tier-1 jurisdiction: The Griffon Gold Mine project lies within Nevada’s prolific Battle Mountain–Eureka Trend, near producing mines and major gold developers.

Key Projects

Griffon Gold Mine Project

Discovery Ridge Pit, Griffon Gold Mine Project, White Pine County, Nevada

Located approximately 50 km southwest of Ely, Nevada, the Griffon Gold Mine project consists of 89 unpatented mineral claims totaling ~1,780 acres. The project is positioned within a 60 km segment of the Battle Mountain–Eureka Gold Belt, one of Nevada’s most productive precious metals trends.

Project Highlights:

• Past Production: Griffon was previously mined by Alta Gold (1998–1999) and produced 62,661 oz of oxide gold via heap leaching before its premature closure impacted by low gold prices (US$278/oz in 1999).
• Geological Setting: Stratigraphy includes Pilot Shale, Chainman Shale and Joana Limestone – formations typical of Carlin-type gold systems in the region. Historical drilling and multi-element geochemical soil sampling show multiple gold-bearing horizons and Carlin-type pathfinder elements (antimony, arsenic, mercury, thallium).
• AI-supported Target Generation: In March 2025, VRIFY was engaged to apply predictive modeling to the project. Results have identified new target zones, including those southwest of Hammer Ridge and the unmined Anvil Zone.
• Path to Drilling: Biological surveys are planned for late winter to spring 2026, after which successful drill permitting is expected. The Company anticipates drilling could commence in late Q2 or early Q3 2026, pending receipt of approvals.

Coronado Copper Project

The Coronado copper project is a VMS-style copper exploration property located in the Tobin–Sonoma Range of Pershing County, Nevada, approximately 48 km southeast of Winnemucca and adjacent to the historic Big Mike open-pit copper mine, which produced high-grade copper in the early 1970s. The project comprises 133 unpatented claims covering about 2,660 acres, and Nevada Sunrise holds the right to earn a 100 percent interest. Exploration to date includes airborne VTEM surveying, ground gravity surveying, soil gas hydrocarbon soil sampling, and historical drilling data, and the Company is now advancing new geophysical modeling to refine drill targets in this underexplored district.

Gemini West Lithium Project

The Gemini West lithium project represents the remaining western portion of Nevada Sunrise’s former Gemini lithium project land package in the Lida Valley, following the September 2025 sale of 223 core Gemini claims to Dome Rock Resources for US$800,000, with Nevada Sunrise retaining a 2.0 percent NSR royalty on future production and 26 unpatented claims immediately to the west of the Gemini lithium deposit. and. Positioned near the historic town of Gold Point in Esmeralda County, Gemini West continues to provide the Company exposure to lithium exploration upside in a highly prospective basin, complementing its fully-owned Jackson Wash and Badlands lithium projects.

Jackson Wash Lithium Project

The Jackson Wash lithium project is one of Nevada Sunrise’s 100-percent-owned lithium assets located in the Lida Valley of Esmeralda County, Nevada. The project, covering approximately 420 acres, has been advanced through earlier technical work, and is positioned within a highly prospective basin that also hosts the Company’s Gemini West and Badlands projects. Jackson Wash forms a core part of Nevada Sunrise’s long-term critical metals strategy.

Badlands Lithium Project

The Badlands lithium project, staked by Nevada Sunrise Metals in 2022, covers approximately 240 acres of unpatented claims in the Lida Valley, Esmeralda County, Nevada, situated about halfway between the company’s Gemini West and Jackson Wash lithium projects. Surface sampling in 2022 returned anomalous lithium values between 70 parts per million (ppm) and 165.8 ppm from outcrop, within flat-lying beds of volcanic ash, silt and gravel resembling playa-style sedimentary lithium systems.
