Rackla Metals Reports Anomalous Gold Values at Grad Property
VANCOUVER, British Columbia — November 27, 2025 — Leads & Copy — Rackla Metals Inc. (TSX-V: RAK) has released analytical results from drill holes G25-004 to G25-008 from its 2025 campaign at the Grad property.
The drill holes tested the BiTe showing to the north and west of previously announced holes G25-001, 002 and 003. The Grad property, located in the North Nahanni Pluton in the western Northwest Territories, is a Reduced Intrusion-Related Gold System (RIRGS) target.
The 2025 drill program on the property consisted of 4,489 meters in 10 holes. Analytical results for the remaining two drill holes, G25-009 and G25-010, are still pending.
The 2025 program was the maiden drill program on the property. Management believes that it was the most logical step to evaluate the high-grade results from the 2024 surface sampling on the steep cliff face. Holes G25-004 to G25-008 returned scattered, anomalous gold values over generally narrow widths.
The gold mineralization coincides with bismuth, tellurium and tungsten, typical of a RIRGS occurrence. Company management noted their disappointment that the broad interval of sheeted quartz veining observed in the drill core is not well mineralized.
A summary of drill hole results from holes G25-004 to G25-008 is provided in Table 1. Intercepts are core intervals and may not represent true widths.
The BiTe Zone is located at the base of the steep cliff and has been mapped as an intensely altered quartz-sericite zone in quartz-monzonite with bismuth sulphide (tellurides?). Surface sampling in 2024 and 2025 returned high-grade gold results in chip-channel and grab samples. Talus-fine sampling along the base returned 500 meters averaging over a gram per tonne of gold with coincident, anomalous bismuth and tellurium. Drilling to date has not returned any continuity of the gold mineralization at depth, nor has it returned any of the high-grade gold observed on surface samples.
Rackla is working in consultation with the Sahtu Dene and Métis communities and remains committed to maintaining the respectful, collaborative relationships it has built with the Sahtu. As exploration advances at its properties, the company will continue working closely with local stakeholders and regulatory agencies to ensure its activities create long-term value and reflect community priorities.
Drilling for the 2025 program utilized NTW-sized core. Once received at the core logging facility, the core was systematically logged for geological attributes, photographed and marked for sampling. Sample lengths were generally 1.5 meters or less to isolate features of interest. Core sampling was accomplished by cutting the core in half lengthwise along a pre-determined line, with one half sent to the lab and one half stored as a record. Field duplicates were collected at regular intervals as ¼ core samples by splitting the ½ core to be sent to the lab, leaving a consistent record of half core material from duplicate and non-duplicate samples alike. Standard reference materials were inserted by Rackla personnel at regular intervals into the sample stream. The samples were delivered to ALS Canada Ltd preparatory facility in Whitehorse, Yukon. Sample preparation was completed at either the Whitehorse facility or re-directed by ALS to their Langley, BC facility, depending on workloads, with final analyses completed at the ALS laboratory in North Vancouver.
ALS Canada Ltd is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ISO9001:2015 for quality management. Samples were prepared according to the ALS Prep-31A procedure, involving crushing to >70% passing below 2 mm and split using a riffle splitter. Two-hundred fifty gram splits were pulverized to >85% passing below 75 microns. A four-acid digest with an inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS) finish was used for 48-element analysis on 0.25 gram sample pulps (ALS code: ME-MS61). All samples were analyzed for gold content by fire assay with an atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) finish on 50 gram samples (ALS code: Au-GRA22). Samples that returned over limits for bismuth, tellurium, arsenic, base metals and silver were assayed by Ore Grade analytical methods.
Contiguous mineralized intervals are defined as runs of mineralization >0.3 g/t Au.
