Total Metals Corp. has returned assay results from its initial property mapping and sampling campaign at the Menary Gold Property in Northwestern Ontario, highlighted by a grab sample grading 31.7 g/t gold with visible specks in fracture.

The six-day field program, carried out by a contracted crew from Bayside Geoscience Inc., involved collecting 83 quartz vein and altered rock samples across the property. Assay returns showed that 55% of the samples were mineralized with sulphides or gossanous material.

Additional significant assay results from the campaign include 9.61 g/t gold from the Wagg zone, 6.42 g/t gold from the Galbraith “A” zone, and 3.46 g/t gold from the Wagg zone. Two quartz vein samples contained visible gold, though only the Galbraith “A” specimen returned an elevated assay value. Total Metals completed its acquisition of the property in March 2026 under an option agreement with Destroismaisons CLM Holdings Corporation to earn a 100% interest.

“Our initial mapping and sampling program has successfully validated the high-grade nature of the Menary property, particularly at the Galbraith 'A' and Wagg zones. Collecting 83 grab samples where over 50% were mineralized—including a standout 31.7 g/t Au sample with visible gold —confirms the robust nature of this gold system. We are now leveraging these results to establish the property-scale structural controls, which will allow us to define precise, high-priority targets for our upcoming drill program”

— Michael Dehn, Executive Chairman

The company is using the sampling data alongside government geophysics and satellite imagery to establish property-scale structural controls.

Following the initial campaign, Total Metals plans to complete a high-resolution drone airborne magnetic survey over the Menary property in 2026. The company recently utilized a similar drone survey at its High Lake property to identify exploration targets.

Next operational steps include a Phase 2 field program featuring further mapping and rigorous channel sampling to isolate drill targets. Total Metals also intends to submit a comprehensive advanced exploration permit for drilling and expanded surface trenching.

Activity across the wider district includes the discovery of two new gold-bearing structures, including drill intersection DGR-060C returning 3.38 g/t gold over 4.30 meters reported by Dryden Gold Corp. at its Gold Rock project in July 2026.
