North Valley doubles Comstock land package with strategic claim expansion

Kamloops, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 21, 2026) - North Valley Resources Ltd. (CSE: NVR) ("North Valley" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the approved expansion of its Comstock Copper-Gold Project in southern British Columbia through the staking of an additional 4,857 hectares (48.57 km 2 ), bringing the Company's total land position to approximately 9,319 hectares (93.19 km 2 ) (see December 3, 2025 news release) (Figure 1). The newly acquired claims strategically expand the Comstock land package to encompass prospective zones that share geological and geophysical characteristics with other mineralized areas on the Company's existing land position, further consolidating North Valley's position in a district-scale exploration opportunity within the Quesnel Terrane.

Cameron Dorsey, CEO of North Valley Resources, comments: "The expansion of Comstock represents an important step in our strategy to consolidate what we believe is a highly prospective copper-gold district in southern British Columbia. By staking an additional 4,918 hectares and doubling the size of the project, we have secured prospective structures and areas of interest that extend beyond our existing targets. This expanded land position provides North Valley with greater flexibility to evaluate the broader geological system and identify additional exploration opportunities. We look forward to advancing the expanded land package through systematic exploration."

Historical Copper-Gold Results
