Red Metal Resources Plans Extensive 2025 Work Program on Its Carrizal IOCG Property Following Sampling Discoveries of up to 5.77% Copper

Red Metal Resources Ltd. (CSE: RMES) (OTC Pink: RMESF) (FSE: I660) (‘Red Metal’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce planning is underway for an extensive 2025 work program to follow-up on and extend previous sampling discoveries of 5.77% Cu, 1.55% Co and 0.11 gt Au along two kilometres of strike to the north of 2022 drilling on the ‘Farellon’ structure at its highly prospective Carrizal IOCG Property, located in the prolific Candelaria iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) belt of Chile’s coastal Cordillera.

The upcoming 2025 work program will test high-priority targets identified through previous drilling, sampling and mapping and will focus on identifying new drill targets and expanding known areas of mineralization using ASTER remote sensing surveys for alteration analysis and ground sampling initiatives.

Red Metal Resources President and CEO, Caitlin Jeffs stated,‘We are excited to build on our previously successful drilling and sampling programs in a 2025 market environment with higher Copper prices and demand. We have multiple new potential drill targets in close proximity to the Farellon structure and are greatly encouraged by the drilling confirmation of significant new vein width and mineralization with a full 1.5 kilometres of mapped continuity for planned upcoming drilling as well as numerous other high-priority veins that have yet to be drill tested. We believe the nature of the alteration and veining indicates that we are in the top of a large IOCG system and that we are in the early stages of showing its full potential.’

A 2022 work program focused on mapping of veins along strike of, and to the east of the main Farellon structure with the goal of developing new drill targets. New veins mapped and sampled include the Gorda vein which was drilled in Hole FAR-22-020. The Gorda vein lies 250 metres east of the Farellon structure which was mapped and sampled along strike for a full kilometre. A further five veins were mapped and sampled in detail to develop 2025 and future drill targets throughout the property.

Highlights

• A high sample return of 5.77% Cu, 1.55% Co and 0.11 g/t Au two kilometres along strike to the north of the recent drilling on the Farellon structure
• Three veins mapped in detail, each demonstrating over a kilometre of prospective strike length with mineralized grab samples

⁽¹⁾Management cautions that prospecting surface rock samples and associated assays, as discussed herein, are selective by nature and represent a point location, and therefore may not necessarily be fully representative of the mineralized horizon sampled.⁽²⁾This table represents a selection of highlights including 41 samples out of 102 samples taken

Red Metal successfully completed a nine-hole, 2,010 metre drill program in 2022 that targeted down dip extensions of known mineralized zones as well as testing of new zones.

Highlights

• First hole on new zone intercepted 6 metres of vein with strong visible copper sulphides; further 1.5 kilometres of untested strike length
• All holes have intercepted visible copper sulphide mineralization and alteration associated with IOCG deposits
• Diamond drill core continues to provide valuable alteration and structural information not seen in previous RC drilling

Diamond Drilling

Four drillholes of the program targeted the south and north end of the Farellon zone and tested a previously undrilled structure parallel to the Farellon zone. All four drill holes intercepted zones of sulphide mineralization including chalcopyrite and chalcocite and zones of strong alteration associated with iron oxide copper gold (‘IOCG’) deposits.

New Zone Drill Tested

The newly tested parallel structure lies approximately 250 metres west of the Farellon vein and was mapped and sampled on surface in 2012. Mapping completed in 2012 traced the vein continuously over approximately 1.5 kilometres. All six surface samples taken along the structure in 2012 are listed below and all samples returned significant copper, gold and cobalt. The structure was tested with one drillhole and a six-metre quartz calcite vein was intercepted from 142m to 142.6m with visible chalcopyrite mineralization, intense pyrrhotite, albite and actinolite alteration.

QAQC

Samples were prepared and analyzed by ALS laboratories in La Serena, Chile and Lima, Peru. Samples were analyzed for gold using Fire Assay-AA techniques. All samples were analyzed using a 33 element 4 acid digestion ICP analysis method and copper samples over 10,000 ppm were analyzed again for just copper using the same analysis method.
