GreenLight Metals Inc. (TSX-V: GRL)(OTC: GRLMF) — currently trading around C$0.30 per share — has reported additional high-grade copper-gold results from its ongoing Phase-2 drill program at the flagship, 100%-owned Bend copper-gold VMS project in Wisconsin’s Penokean Volcanic Belt.
Highlights include:
- 27.72 meters of 1.07% copper and 0.97 g/t gold (2.10% CuEq) in hole B26-008
- Including 15.65 meters of 1.66% copper and 1.39 g/t gold (3.14% CuEq)
- Mineralization continues to expand down-dip and along strike
- All five reported holes intersected significant VMS mineralization
- Assays from several additional holes expected in the coming weeks
Notably, the latest results continue to extend mineralization down-dip and along strike from the historic Bend deposit while reinforcing the continuity, thickness, and grade of the expanding VMS system.
GreenLight Metals CEO Matt Filgate — whom you’ll hear from next in our exclusive interview — commented on the latest positive copper-gold results at Bend:
“Results from B26-008 and B26-010 continue to demonstrate the strength and continuity of the Bend system, returning 27.72 meters of 2.10% CuEq and 21.06 meters of 2.46% CuEq respectively. Every hole drilled in Phase 2 has intersected significant VMS mineralization, and the stacked massive to semi-massive sulfide lenses logged in B26-008, B26-009/009W, and B26-010 confirm the system continues to build down-plunge and along strike to the east. With two rigs turning, assays pending on B26-009/009W and B26-011, and a strengthening copper market, GreenLight is well-positioned to continue advancing the Bend Project through Phase 2.”
Bend represents an advanced-stage copper-gold VMS system with more than US$8 million invested historically and over 26,000 meters of drilling completed to date.
GRL’s ongoing, multi-rig program is focused on systematically expanding mineralization beyond the historic footprint while advancing toward a modern resource estimate.

Downhole geophysical surveys have now been completed on the most recent drill holes with interpretation expected shortly to help refine future targeting as the multi-rig program advances.
Beyond Bend, GRL is advancing a robust portfolio of high-grade copper, gold, and critical minerals projects within the belt.

That includes the 100%-owned Reef gold-copper project and the Lobo and Lobo East VMS targets, adding meaningful discovery upside and long-term optionality to the company's emerging district-scale platform.
Barrick Earn-In at Kalium Canyon Gold Project in Nevada’s Walker Lane Belt
GreenLight Metals has added a potentially significant Nevada catalyst through a recently announced staged earn-in agreement with Barrick Mining (NYSE: B)(TSX: ABX) at the Kalium Canyon gold project in Nevada's Walker Lane trend.
Filgate commented:
“Securing a binding term sheet with Barrick is a significant validation of Kalium Canyon's geological potential. Barrick's technical team brings unmatched epithermal expertise in Nevada, and their track record of discovery and development success, including the world-class Fourmile discovery, makes them the ideal partner to advance the Property. The staged structure allows Barrick to fund exploration and any pre-feasibility work through to an 80% interest while preserving meaningful upside for GreenLight.”
Under the terms of the agreement, Barrick may spend up to tens of millions of dollars advancing the project while GreenLight retains meaningful long-term exposure to any potential discovery success.
Located within Nevada’s prolific Walker Lane trend, Kalium Canyon is a low-sulfidation epithermal gold target that has the potential to become a meaningful long-term catalyst alongside GreenLight’s ongoing project advancement in Wisconsin.
With gold currently trading above US$4,000 per ounce and copper north of US$6 per pound, GreenLight appears well-positioned as drilling and resource growth continues across its U.S.-based portfolio.
Hot on the story as always, our own Gerardo Del Real of Junior Resource Monthly caught up with GreenLight Metals CEO Matt Filgate to discuss the latest step-out success at Bend and the new Barrick partnership at Kalium Canyon. Please enjoy!

FOOTNOTES
- Source (primary): E.K. Lehmann and Associates, Inc., 1992, “Report of the geology and ore reserves of the Bend copper-gold deposit, Taylor County, Wisconsin” (Bureau of Land Management Preference Right Lease Application, prepared for the Jump River Joint Venture (“JRJV”)); reproduced in Section 6.2.1 and Table 4 of the Bend Project NI 43-101 Technical Report with an effective date of January 1, 2025 (the “2025 Bend Technical Report”). The 1992 JRJV historical estimate is reported as: Cu Zone — 2.8 Mt at 2.41% Cu, 1.43 g/t Au and 13.70 g/t Ag; Au Zone — 1.2 Mt at 0.31% Cu, 4.73 g/t Au and 2.79 g/t Ag; Total — 4.0 Mt at 1.74% Cu, 2.44 g/t Au and 11.56 g/t Ag. Methods and parameters known from the source report: based on 33 diamond drillholes plus 1 wedge (approximately 13,713 metres drilled between 1986 and 1992); polygonal and cross-sectional methods were both used and the results averaged; at the time, the estimate was categorized as a “geologic resource” under U.S. Geological Survey Circular 831 (1980); no cut-off grade was stated in the source report and no metal prices, metallurgical recoveries or other economic parameters were stated. Reliability and relevance: the 1992 JRJV historical estimate is pre-CIM, was prepared by a previous owner using legacy classification terminology that does not correspond to the current CIM Definition Standards or to NI 43-101 resource categories (Measured, Indicated or Inferred), and has not been independently verified by GreenLight Metals or its Qualified Person; it is referenced in this report for geological context only. More recent estimates: Section 14 of the 2025 Bend Technical Report confirms that no current Mineral Resource is defined on the Bend property and that no more recent estimate of mineral resources or mineral reserves has been completed. Significant data compilation, re-drilling, re-sampling and data verification will be required by a Qualified Person before the historical estimate can be classified as a current Mineral Resource. A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as a current Mineral Resource. The Company is not treating the historical estimate as a current Mineral Resource or Mineral Reserve, and the historical estimate should not be relied upon.
- Copper equivalent (“CuEq”) is reported to express the aggregate in-situ value of copper, gold and silver as a percentage copper grade. CuEq incorporates assumed metallurgical recoveries and is not a proxy for, nor evidence of, economic value. Tellurium (Te) is reported separately and is not included in CuEq. CuEq (%) = ((Cu grade (%) / 100 × 0.9 (recovery) × 2204.6 × US$4.50) + (Au grade (g/t) × 0.9 (recovery) / 31.1035 × US$3,600) + (Ag grade (g/t) × 0.9 (recovery) / 31.1035 × US$40)) / (2204.6 × 0.01 × US$4.50). Assumptions: metal prices of US$4.50/lb Cu, US$3,600/oz Au and US$40/oz Ag; recoveries of 90% for Cu, Au and Ag based on the Company’s preliminary assessment of analogous VMS deposits. No allowances have been made for smelting/refining charges, penalties or deleterious elements, or payability factors. No metallurgical test work has been completed at Bend; actual recoveries and payabilities are unknown and may differ materially. Readers are cautioned that visible gold occurrences are not necessarily indicative of the gold grade of any mineralized interval; assay results determine actual grade. Tellurium values referenced (including the “significant tellurium values encountered” statement) are individual assay results from selected samples and are not necessarily representative of the mineralization on the property as a whole.
- There is no assurance that exploration results from Phase-2 or any subsequent program will be sufficient to support a Mineral Resource Estimate, that any such Mineral Resource Estimate will be completed, or that the timing or content of any future Mineral Resource Estimate will be as the Company currently contemplates.
- Historic drilling at Reef was most recently conducted by Aquila Resources in 2011–2012; representative historic intercepts include hole R12-38: 65.2 metres grading 2.80 g/t Au and 0.17% Cu from 80.5 m to 145.73 m, including 8.9 metres at 13.14 g/t Au and 0.44% Cu; and hole R11-11: 14.8 metres grading 14.41 g/t Au and 0.30% Cu from 40.6 m to 55.4 m, including 9.3 metres at 21.3 g/t Au and 0.33% Cu (source: GreenLight Metals news release dated May 28, 2025; results reproduced in the Reef Project NI 43-101 Technical Report effective January 1, 2025). The historic results referenced have been reviewed by the Qualified Person but the Company has not independently verified the historic sampling, assay or QA/QC procedures and historic results are not necessarily indicative of mineralization that may be encountered on the property by GreenLight.
- The Crandon deposit is held by a third party, is not located on any property held by GreenLight Metals, and mineralization at the Crandon deposit is not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the Lobo or Lobo East projects.
- Historic drilling at Lobo was conducted by Noranda in the 1970s and by Can-America in 2020; the representative historic intercept referenced is Noranda hole LB-3: 9.4 metres grading 22.89% Zn, 1.41% Cu, 1.84% Pb and 1.14 g/t Au (246–255 m); confirmation drilling by Can-America (hole LB-20-01) returned 1.55 metres of 17.46% Zn, 0.47% Cu, 1.61% Pb, 0.14 g/t Au and 51 g/t Ag (81.8–83.4 m). Drillhole LB-3 is archived at the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey Core Repository (Mt. Horeb, WI); quarter core samples of the entire mineralized interval were re-assayed by Can-America in 2019. The Company has not independently verified the original Noranda sampling, assay or QA/QC procedures and historic results are not necessarily indicative of future results.
- References to “define an economic deposit” and “the next high-grade copper-dominant mine in the United States” are forward-looking. Mine development is contingent on (i) completion of an NI 43-101-compliant Mineral Resource Estimate, (ii) Mineral Reserve estimation, (iii) feasibility studies, (iv) financing, (v) permitting and construction, and (vi) a positive production decision. The Bend Project does not currently host a Mineral Resource or Mineral Reserve under NI 43-101, and there is no certainty that any of the foregoing will occur.
QUALIFIED PERSON
The technical information contained in this report has been prepared in accordance with Canadian regulatory requirements as set out in NI 43-101 and reviewed and approved by Thomas Quigley, MSc, CPG-11962, Exploration Director of GreenLight Metals Inc., a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING HISTORICAL ESTIMATES
The 1992 JRJV historical estimate of approximately 4.0 million tonnes referenced in this report (originally documented in E.K. Lehmann and Associates, Inc., 1992, “Report of the geology and ore reserves of the Bend copper-gold deposit, Taylor County, Wisconsin”, prepared for the Jump River Joint Venture, and reproduced in Section 6.2.1 of the Bend Project NI 43-101 Technical Report effective January 1, 2025) is not compliant with the current CIM Definition Standards or NI 43-101, and the categorization used in the source (USGS Circular 831 (1980) “geologic resource”) does not correspond to current CIM categories. Section 14 of the 2025 Bend Technical Report confirms that no current Mineral Resource is defined on the Bend property and that no more recent estimate exists. A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as a current Mineral Resource. The Company is not treating the historical estimate as a current Mineral Resource or Mineral Reserve, and the historical estimate should not be relied upon. To upgrade or verify the historical estimate as a current Mineral Resource, the Company would need to complete confirmation drilling, data validation, QA/QC verification, and an independent Qualified Person review under NI 43-101.
