Northern Discovery Metals identifies multiple copper targets at Vent

Airborne geophysics, soil geochemistry and high-grade surface sampling converge to outline multiple copper targets on Vancouver Island

CALGARY, Alberta, Aug. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Northern Discovery Metals Inc. (CSE: NOR) (“ Northern Discovery ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to highlight results from its technical report for the Vent Copper Property (the “Property”), located in the Alberni Mining Division on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. The report, entitled “NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Vent Copper Property, Alberni Mining Division, British Columbia, Canada, NTS Map 092F03W” (the “Technical Report”), is dated July 22, 2026 was prepared by Kristian Whitehead, P.Geo., and is available under the Company’s profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

Technical Report Highlights:

The 1,561-hectare Property is located approximately 51 kilometres west of Port Alberni and is accessible by Highway 4 and forestry roads.

The January 2026 field program included geological mapping, prospecting, rock and soil sampling, and property-scale airborne magnetic and very-low-frequency electromagnetic (“VLF-EM”) surveys.

Results from 169 soil samples included values up to 1,230 ppm Cu and 209 ppm Mo and defined copper-silver anomalies with associated molybdenum responses (Table 1).

The airborne survey comprised 177 line-kilometres over approximately 15.6 square kilometres, with survey lines spaced 100 metres apart and tie lines spaced 1,000 metres apart.

Thirty-four selective rock samples returned values up to 9,230 ppm copper (0.923% Cu) and 5,010 ppm molybdenum (0.501% Mo), with the peak values occurring in separate samples (Table 2).

The airborne survey comprised 177 line-kilometres over approximately 15.6 square kilometres, with survey lines spaced 100 metres apart and tie lines spaced 1,000 metres apart .
