| 19/11/2024 17:59 | Hercules Intersects 338 Meters of 0.47% Cu with Mineralization Increasing at Depth and to the North Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 19, 2024) - Hercules Metals Corp. (TSXV: BIG) (OTCQB: BADEF) (FSE: 8Q7) ("Hercules Metals" or the "Company") is pleased to announce new drill intercepts from its Hercules Property in western Idaho (“HerculesR Highlights Strongest primary mineralization below the enrichment blanket to date. The headline drill hole, HER-24-12, is a 315m step-out, northeast from HER-24-08, which recently intersected 480m of 0.47% Cu, 82 ppm Mo, including 55m of 1.5% Cu (See news release dated Oct 10, 2024). A new trend of increasing copper and potassic alteration toward a large untested chargeability and magnetic anomaly at the Grade Creek Zone (Figs. 1, 2, 4, 5). Trend is intersected progressively closer to surface to the north (Fig. 2). Modelling now constrains the geometry of a late porphyry intrusion (Fig. 2), allowing drilling to focus on the significantly better grades in all directions. Click here to view a summary of today's new release delivered by the Company's CEO, Chris Paul. Chris Paul, CEO and Director of the Company, noted: "Seeing primary copper grades now increasing below the secondary enrichment blanket is certainly an exciting new development for the project. The increasing grade as well as alteration temperatures to the north has significant implications for the large geophysical anomalies underlying the Grade Creek Zone (Figs. 4, 5). Review of core photos also shows early "A" and "B" veins intensifying down hole, both of which are known to increase toward the center of porphyry systems. Associated with the A and B veins is a transition from phyllic to biotite (outer potassic) alteration, potentially signaling proximity to a porphyry center."

To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: hxxps://images.newsf Geological Summary Two types of mineralization occur within the Leviathan system. Primary hypogene mineralization, which formed during initial emplacement of the porphyry system, as well as a secondary blanket of enrichment which formed during a younger hydrothermal pulse. The primary mineralization is the main target, as it will often extend vertically for many hundreds of meters down the center of porphyry systems. The enrichment blanket forms an attractive layer of high-grade bornite and chalcocite mineralization closest to surface, while the primary mineralization represents a larger target, with potential for yet its own high-grade core. HER-24-12 encountered bornite and chalcocite mineralization, typical of the secondary enrichment blanket, which then transitions downward into the primary hypogene system. The primary system begins with phyllic alteration at the top, intensifying downward to a higher temperature biotite alteration with stronger chalcopyrite-pyrite mineralization. This represents the first hole in which the primary hypogene system strengthens with depth, indicating it may be the closest drilled to the hypogene core of the system. Figure 2 presents a cross-section of HER-24-12, relative to a late porphyry that is lower grade than the surrounding volcanic rocks. However, as new drilling was completed, the late porphyry was modelled in 3D, which has significantly enhanced the Company's targeting of the higher-grade volcanic host rocks. Figure 2 provides an example of the strong increase in grade outside of the late porphyry. It should be noted that the causative early porphyry intrusion at Leviathan remains to be identified. Early porphyry intrusions can often contribute upwards of 90% of the copper to porphyry systems and are frequently higher in grade than the surrounding volcanic wall rocks. The large Grade Creek Zone and its prospective geophysical anomalies present a compelling area to begin testing for such a target. Figure 2 illustrates the volcanics underneath the late porphyry are increasing in both grade and alteration, at progressively shallower depths to the north. Grades increase from 0.30% in 23-21 to 0.51% in 24-12 and are open toward a large area of anomalous chargeability and magnetics in the Grade Creek Zone (Fig. 4, 5). HER-24-11 drilled into the upper edge of the late porphyry but exited into phyllic altered volcanics at the end of hole, with a significant increase in grade. The geological model presented here suggests that extending 24-11 would have strong potential for encountering potassic alteration with increasing grades. HER-24-13 intersected strong enrichment blanket mineralization grading 1.14% Cu over 38 meters. The hole only cut the now modelled late porphyry, which is clear evidence that the strong grades introduced by the secondary enrichment blanket are younger, and were deposited after emplacement of the entire porphyry system.

Samples were dried and crushed to 2mm, from which a 250g sub-sample split was then pulverized to 85% passing a 75 micron sieve. Following preparation, assays were determined by the IMS-230 method. A 0.25g aliquot of the prepared pulp was digested in a 4-acid solution consisting of hydrochloric, nitric, perchloric and hydrofluoric acids. 4-acid is a near total digest and only the most highly resistant minerals are not dissolved. The resulting solution was analyzed via ICP-MS and ICP-ES for 48 elements and was corrected for inter-element spectral interferences. Lower detection limits for this procedure are 0.01 ppm for silver, 0.5 ppm for lead, 2 ppm for zinc, and 0.2 ppm for copper. Mercury is not reported due to volatilization in reaction with hydrofluoric acid and gold is not reported due to the small, 0.25g aliquot size being insufficient to overcome the nugget effect. Gold was analyzed by FAS-111, a 30-gram fire assay fusion with AAS finish. No significant results were reported. Samples with initial results beyond the upper detection limit of the IMS-230 method were analyzed by procedures ICF-6Ag, ICF-6Cu, ICF-6Pb and ICF-6Zn. The thresholds are 100 ppm for silver, and >1% for copper, lead and zinc. MSA Labs employs internal quality control standards, duplicates and blank samples at set frequencies. Blind certified reference materials (CRMs) and blank samples were systematically inserted by the Company into the sample stream and analyzed as part of the Company's quality assurance/quality control protocol.

| 04/11/2024 20:08 | Hercules Intersects Shallow Porphyry Mineralization and New Hydrothermal Breccia Toronto, Ontario / November 4, 2024 – Hercules Metals Corp. (“Hercules Metals” or the “Company” Highlights Mineralization begins at 72m depth in HER-24-20 and remains open toward a large surface anomaly. Mineralized early biotite alteration intersected in 3 new holes to the southeast – and potentially plunging under HER-23-14, previously thought to be the edge of the system. A separate zone of early biotite was also encountered at depth in holes HER-24-08 and HER-24-12, which may be related to a separate intrusive center to the north. New magmatic-hydrotherma Mineralized envelope continues to expand – remains open in multiple directions. RC drilling continues to provide additional value, testing new targets rapidly, both pre-collar and otherwise. Geological Summary Drill holes HER-24-19 through -21 begin in shallow phyllic alteration associated with the enrichment blanket and transition with depth into varying degrees of biotite alteration consistent with an outer potassic shell. These new holes have significantly expanded the zone of early biotite alteration which shows increasing strength toward the south. Of note is a separate zone of early biotite encountered at depth in holes HER-24-08 and HER-24-12 which have the potential to be related to a yet undiscovered intrusive center to the north. HER-24-05 encountered a plug of late porphyry associated with a chargeability low, however high chargeability continues further south of Camp Creek and remains to be tested. Core drilling failed to reach the unconformity at this southern target but depending on weather conditions, Legacy Drilling may be able to test for further extensions of the system in this direction. Legacy was able to complete HER-24-17 to the maximum working depth capacity of the RC rig at 975 m in very challenging ground conditions. The alteration encountered will be interpreted once geochemical and spectral results have been received and processed on the fine chips. HER-24-19 and -21 both intersected enrichment blanket followed by intermediate sulfidation pyrite-chalcopyrite which remains open down plunge to the southeast. HER-23-14 was drilled at a shallow angle to the southeast in 2023, which is now interpreted to be subparallel with the plunge of the system. This may explain why the hole remained in the same distal alteration it started in, throughout its length. Future drilling will test underneath 23-14 by drilling northwest, against the plunge of the system. Prior to entering the enrichment blanket, HER-24-20 intersected a compelling new magmatic hydrothermal breccia from 76m to 157m downhole, representing the first of its kind to be intercepted at Hercules. The breccia consists of strongly veined clasts of porphyry and wall rock within a fine chloritic matrix that becomes progressively more intrusive in nature near its footwall contact. Intermediate sulfidation pyrite-chalcopyrite mineralization occurs in the latter half of the intercept, within the matrix as well as clasts, and appears to increase in intensity downwards. The hole currently remains in progress in early biotite alteration.

| 19/8/2024 23:12 | Hercules Metals Announces Approval of Plan of Operations for Drilling New Targets on USFS Toronto, Ontario / August 19, 2024 – Hercules Metals Corp. (“Hercules Metals” or the “Company” Highlights The USFS has issued a CatEx for up to 15 pre-selected drill sites to be tested through to the end of August 2025 (Figure 1). Two priority target areas, Grade Creek and the Eastern Block, have been selected for drill testing based on over 2,000 soil and outcrop chip samples, favourable chargeability values, and a theorized northwest tilt to the system. The Eastern Block is an interpreted fault block that includes the Metheny, Lighting and Big Cut zones. FS 17 or 18 will likely be the first pads to test the zone and assess if mineralization plunges, and therefore has greater preservation potential, to the southeast. Chargeability is low to moderate, as might be expected in deeper parts of the system where the phyllic alteration may transition to potassic. Four potential pad locations have been selected to test the Grade Creek Zone, including FS 11, 12, 13 and 03. Grade Creek has the best silver-lead-zinc and copper-molybdenum soil and rock chip anomaly on the Property. It also has high chargeability, suggesting a northeastern extension of the pyrite-rich phyllic zone. However, the hypogene enrichment tends to occur in the upper portion of the phyllic zone where high chargeability is the target. The Company is in the early stages of moving forward with an Environmental Assessment on the Property, to secure longer-term drilling on USFS lands once the CatEx expires. New targets on the USFS will initially be tested with core drilling to attain important geological information and guide further follow-up drilling of these new zones. RC drilling, scheduled to begin in mid-September, will supplement drilling of existing zones that the Company has been core drilling since 2023. Management Commentary Chris Paul, CEO and Director of the Company, commented, “We’re excited to advance our exploration efforts with the newly secured CatEx permit, unlocking new targets to the east and northeast. We appreciate the diligence and support of the USFS in this process. Drilling in the west has revealed a large blanket of phyllic alteration. Recent mapping however suggests that the Triassic geology, and porphyry intrusions, may be tilted and partially eroded to the northwest, consistent with similar observations made by Scout Discoveries Corp. on their adjacent Cuddy Mountain property1. We look forward to testing downplunge of this theoretical tilt, within the Eastern Block. In the north, the Grade Creek Zone shows the strongest geochemical anomaly on the Property. Despite this, historical operators were unable to test it due to steep terrain and associated road building challenges. The zone however represents the potential northeastern extension of a large phyllic zone, which is often overprinted with secondary (hypogene) copper enrichment.” | stu31 | |
| 31/7/2024 22:36 | Hercules Metals Provides Exploration Update Toronto, Ontario / July 31, 2024 – Hercules Metals Corp. (“Hercules Metals” or the “Company” Highlights A total of 4,600m have been drilled in 6 completed, 3 abandoned and 3 in progress drill holes ranging up to 722m in depth (Figure 1). A potential trend of elevated hypogene copper-silver enrichment appears to be emerging, currently being tested in two directions: Two drill rigs stepping to the northeast and southwest from the 2023 discovery area to test the potential trend of elevated copper-silver, immediately below the Triassic-Jurassic unconformity. A third drill rig is reconnaissance drilling compelling new targets across the property. A large fault zone, referred to as the "BN Fault," had impacted drilling progress in holes HER-24-01, -05, -06, -07, -09, and -09b. However, the inferred geometry of the BN Fault has now been mapped in 3D, which enables future drill holes to focus on areas with more favourable ground conditions away from the fault. The Company is planning to enhance productivity by adding a deep RC drill rig with an effective depth capacity of ~1,200m. Roads are being widened to allow access for a larger rig which has indicated availability in early September. New mapping, shown on Figure 1, has enhanced the understanding of structural patterns and alteration zonation across the project. Triassic exposure in the east shows alteration increasing from propylitic to phyllic towards the northwest. Specular hematite, associated with the hypogene copper-silver enrichment, dips shallow beneath the unconformity (conglomerate). Management Commentary Chris Paul, CEO and Director of the Company, noted, “Having drilled over 1 kilometer of strike along the Leviathan Porphyry this year has given us a much better understanding of certain key structural controls, which better guides our targeting of hypogene enrichment. Blind drilling has its logistical challenges, but new information is gained from each hole, which allows us to increase efficiency moving forward. Drilling is now vectoring toward the potential feeder structures for the hypogene enrichment event, which added copper and silver to the shallowest part of the system, beneath the unconformity. At the same time, we are actively working to increase productivity by avoiding damaged fault zones and securing a deep RC drill rig to supplement the program with pre-collars for the core rigs as well as select RC-only drill holes. Although the timing of the first assays is delayed due to slower than anticipated drilling and processing time, this has allowed us time to build a preliminary 3D model aimed at targeting hypogene enrichment.” Geological Update Drilling continues to encounter porphyry alteration and mineralization over large areas. Emphasis has been placed on key structures which may have controlled both porphyry emplacement as well as later hypogene enrichment. One of these structures, the BN Fault, appears to have been later re-activated in the Jurassic, creating challenging ground conditions for drilling. A preliminary model of the BN Fault was recently developed, to avoid drilling within its proximity. Instead, drilling is stepping out along a separate NE-SW structure, which appears to control mineralization, with apparent minimal post-mineral damage. A third drill rig is testing reconnaissance targets with favourable geophysical signatures that have not had previous drilling. Many targets remain to be tested across what appears to be a large and long-lived hydrothermal system. A major regional-scale structure, “Tom’s Fault”, shown on Figure 2, trends NW-SE across the Property, and appears to be a potentially important regional control on porphyry emplacement. The intersection of regional scale NW-SE structures with NE-SW structures may play an important role on future exploration targeting. 2024 drill holes are shown on Figures 1 and 2. Drill holes HER-24-08, -11, and -12 are stepping out to the northeast along the inferred structural control mentioned above. Drill holes HER-24-09 and -09b were testing the same concept to the southwest, however both had to be terminated due to challenging ground conditions associated with the BN Fault. HER-24-06 also had to be terminated early due to the BN Fault, albeit in mineralization at 640 meters. The aim is to properly re-test this entire length of the chargeability anomaly to depth once the deep RC rig arrives. HER-24-10 is currently testing a new chargeability anomaly to the west of the main Leviathan target. The hole is currently at 350 meters and has encountered a different Jurassic cover sequence than the other holes.

| 15/5/2024 16:51 | New today from the website of NWT subsidiary Grosvenor Technology:- "Insights Security Trends: Six Ways to Improve Safety in 2024 In an era of rapid technological advancement, the security landscape is in a perpetual state of flux, with new threats and bad actors constantly emerging. Paul Smith Head of Quality & Compliance In an era of rapid technological advancement, the security landscape is in a perpetual state of flux, with new threats and bad actors constantly emerging. In response, the security industry is continuing to push into new frontiers, with digital solutions driven by the likes of artificial intelligence (AI), biometrics, and multi-factor authentication. Enterprises are facing ever-evolving challenges in safeguarding their physical and digital infrastructure. Understanding the dynamics behind new threats is key to fortifying defences and requires staying on top of emerging trends to make better-informed decisions. Therefore, the 2024 State of Security and Identity report, commissioned by HID, is an essential read for the industry. The report surveyed over 2,600 end users and industry partners worldwide and identified the six major trends currently shaping security and identity. Let’s take a look. ... Trend 5: The Cloud Over a third of respondents (36%) said the rise of cloud-based authentication or identity management delivered as a subscription service is an important trend. These services simplify the process of creating and managing identities through a secure cloud delivery model. Currently, 24% of end users use cloud-based identity management, while another 24% are in the process of implementing systems. This rise of centralised platforms for identity data, user authentication, and resource-access authorisation delivered as a service is aligned with the rise of mobile access technologies and Zero Trust goals. Trend 6: AI in analytics While AI has quietly been revolutionising industries for decades, the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022 thrust AI into the mainstream. In security, AI has emerged as a trend for the first time this year. Its ability to enable richer and faster insights is a key tool to drive better decision-making, and this is reflected in 44% of respondents already using AI analytics tools through third-party as-a-service offerings. AI-powered analytics tools can identify threats automatically, reducing the amount of manual work required and improving the accuracy of threat detection by analysing patterns from vast amounts of data. It isn’t only analytics where AI is being used, though: 11% of respondents said they are using AI-enabled RFID devices, 15% are using AI-enabled biometrics, and 18% use AI to support their physical security solutions. Securing the future It is clear that innovation in security must not only keep pace with emerging threats, but stay ahead of them. Bad actors do not sit still, and security professionals must embrace sustainable solutions that deliver outstanding physical and digital security. Grosvenor Technology is committed to innovation that aligns with industry trends, mitigating evolving security threats by using forward-thinking technology to keep workplaces safe worldwide." | hedgehog 100 | |
| 28/4/2024 10:18 | From January 2024, from the website of Newmark Security (NWT):- "Security trends to watch in 2024 ... Data reporting Access control goes beyond allowing or denying entry; it’s about making informed decisions. The spotlight on data reporting in access control systems is pivotal. This involves collecting and analysing data on entry and exit patterns, user behaviours, and system activities. This data-driven approach empowers enterprises to gain insights into potential vulnerabilities, adapt to changing threats, and address security gaps. For example, an unusual spike in access attempts during non-business hours could indicate a security threat that requires immediate attention. This trend aligns with the broader growth of big data analytics, illustrating the increasing need for solutions that go beyond securing doors to providing operational insights. ... IoT integration The Internet of Things (IoT) has transformed access control, introducing intelligence and adaptability. In 2024, connected devices will continue to gain popularity, contributing to dynamic access management systems that stay one step ahead of security challenges. IoT integration in access control extends beyond traditional vital cards and PIN codes. Smart devices, such as biometric scanners and mobile access applications, communicate with access control systems to provide secure and convenient entry. This interconnected ecosystem enhances security and user experience, creating a more seamless and flexible access control environment. ..." And from January 2023, from the website of Grosvenor Technology, NWT's Human Capital Management (HCM) and access control subsidiary:- "Key security industry trends in 2023 ... 1. Artificial intelligence will continue to lead the way According to recent figures, AI in the security market was valued at US$5.08 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach US$14.18 billion by 2026. Indeed, for several years running, artificial intelligence (AI) has been the predominant trend as companies continue to leverage its advanced capabilities for functions such as facial recognition, video surveillance, audio analytics, and more. More recently, we have seen a shift towards AI being used as a preventative rather than a reactive measure, meaning that security teams can stop incidents taking place in the first place thanks to things like predictive analytics and machine learning. 2. Cloud-based services will become more essential The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the move towards cloud-based security and monitoring. According to a recent report by Calipsa, 75% of businesses surveyed said that they are now using cloud-based video analytics for security purposes, an increase of 8% when compared with 2020. Cloud technology enables organizations to become more agile in their approach to security, putting them in a better position to respond to emerging challenges and scale their approach with organizational growth. It’s also far more adaptable than legacy security solutions. For example, cloud-based identity management technology can be integrated with the latest developments in biometric access control in real-time to enable faster and more secure authentication. ... 5. More of a focus on privacy protection The COVID-19 pandemic had huge implications for privacy, and the use of tracking technology and other data-driven tools by governments worldwide has led to consumers being understandably more concerned about it. Given that the number one goal of any physical security solution is to protect your people and assets, you shouldn’t underestimate the role your organization now plays in building public trust. The heightened sensitivities of the public around privacy means that the physical security industry is now having to do more to address it and find appropriate solutions. For organizations that see this as an opportunity rather than a challenge, privacy could prove to be the driving force behind forward-thinking strategies, such as privacy-first system design, and become a catalyst for further growth. ..." Newmark Security's products and services in general, as well as protecting, also promote overall efficiency and productivity:- "But we don’t just stop at security. We understand that every business seeks to create an environment in which it can operate more efficiently and with greater levels of productivity. That’s why we strive to provide our clients with smart, safe, and secure workspaces that not only protect their people and assets, but also promote efficiency and productivity." Including from the advanced data insights provided by its access control (see above) and HCM (human capital management) systems:- "The enhanced reporting and analytics that our HCM devices provide allow an organisation deeper insight into the aspects of their business that support strategic growth." | hedgehog 100 | |
