Total Metals Corp. (“Total Metals” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: TT) (OTCQB: TTTMF) (FSE: O4N) is pleased to announce that a diamond drill rig and geological team are currently being mobilised to the Company’s 100% owned High Lake gold project, situated in Northwestern Ontario near the Manitoba/Ontario border and adjacent to the Trans-Canada Highway.
“The entire technical team is incredibly energised as we mobilise equipment to the Purdex Zone,” said Robert Penczak, Vice President of Exploration for Total Metals Corp. “We’ve spent months refining our targets, and seeing a rig arrive on site is a highly anticipated milestone. This is an exceptional high-grade gold target, and we couldn’t be more excited to get the drill turning shortly and see what the core reveals.”
Drilling commence Friday October 9, 2026 at High Lake, where historic drilling has demonstrated significant gold mineralisation. Geological and geophysical evidence indicates that the system remains open in multiple directions. The planned programme is an initial phase of a drilling strategy with objectives to further expand the known mineralised footprint, establish continuity and further define the scale potential of the Purdex Zone.
The drill programme has been structured to allow the company to scale activity in response to results, including the potential deployment of additional drill rigs to accelerate follow-up on successful targets. This flexibility is intended to allow Total Metals to rapidly advance encouraging results while continuing to evaluate the broader high-potential targets.
High-priority drill targets include the Purdex Zone and interpreted structural trends at the High Lake Property as shown in Figure 2. Areas of exploration focus include confirming and expanding occurrences as well as prioritised areas of structural trends, especially in where they intersect or bend in areas of lithological complexity.
