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 (“HerculesR21; or the “Property̶1;). HER-24-12 has intersected 338m of 0.47% Cu, with the final 154m ending in 0.51% Cu and 104 ppm Mo, marking the first recorded increase in mineralization at depth on the Property. Final assay results reveal the 315m step-out from HER-24-08 ended in strong mineralization, with alteration increasing from phyllic to outer potassic in the latter half. Furthermore, a north-south cross-section (Fig 2) now demonstrates copper and potassic alteration are increasing towards the Grade Creek Zone, where a large untested chargeability and magnetic anomaly presents one of the most compelling targets for a vertically extensive early porphyry center.

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."

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.

Figure 5: Chargeability depth slice at 400 meters below surface. Drilling has largely been constrained within a broad zone of high chargeability and low magnetic intensity, characteristic of phyllic alteration. The Grade Creek Zone however is host to a large region of moderate chargeability (13-17 mV/V) and higher magnetic intensity, prospective for potential potassic alteration.

Figure 6: The strongest chargeability on the Property, the Western Deeps Anomaly, is visible in a 600-meter IP depth slice. A single core hole attempted earlier this season, HER-24-10, was lost in Jurassic cover above the anomaly, failing to reach the target. Legacy Drilling's powerful RC rig will make the second attempt by starting in the east and drilling northwest through the Jurassic cover sequence early in the hole.

Sample Analysis and QAQC

All drill core samples were prepped and analyzed at MSA Labs in Langley, British Columbia, an ISO 17025 and ISO 9001 certified laboratory. 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.

Hercules Intersects Shallow Porphyry Mineralization and New Hydrothermal Breccia

Toronto, Ontario / November 4, 2024 – Hercules Metals Corp. (“Hercules Metals” or the “Company”;) (TSX-V: BIG) (OTCQB: BADEF) (FWB: 8Q7) is pleased to provide an update on recent drilling as further assay results remain pending at the Leviathan porphyry copper system in western Idaho (“HerculesR21; or the “Property̶1;). RC drilling has advanced rapidly with three holes completed and a fourth in progress, including HER-24-17 being completed to 975m. Three new holes stepped to the southeast, HER-24-19 through -21, all intersected early biotite alteration with mineralization beginning progressively closer to surface, starting as early as 72m true depth in hole 24-20. The depth to mineralization continues to shallow toward a large untested copper anomaly at surface to the east.

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-hydrothermal breccia pipe discovered by HER-24-20 represents a new target type, with vertically extensive potential.
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.

Core photographs for the breccia intercept in HER-24-20 can be viewed on the Company’s website at the following link: hxxps://www.herculesmetals.com/hercules/core-photos/

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”;) (TSX-V: BIG) (OTCQB: BADEF) (FWB: 8Q7) is pleased to announce that the United States Forest Service (“USFS”) has approved a Categorical Exclusion (“CatEx”) for its Plan of Operations (the “Plan”) allowing the Company to drill two large untested targets on its Hercules Property in western Idaho (“HerculesR21; or the “Property̶1;). This approval authorizes exploration activities on an eastern portion of the Property where the surface is administered by the USFS. The Plan contemplates drilling of the Grade Creek and Eastern Block targets, neither of which have been tested below the depth of shallow epithermal silver mineralization to the underlying Leviathan porphyry copper system (the “LeviathanR21;).

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.”

Hercules Metals Provides Exploration Update

Toronto, Ontario / July 31, 2024 – Hercules Metals Corp. (“Hercules Metals” or the “Company”;) (TSX-V: BIG) (OTCQB: BADEF) (FWB: 8Q7) is pleased to provide an update on its ongoing exploration drilling program at its Hercules Property in western Idaho (“HerculesR21; or the “Property̶1;).

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.

"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:-

Hercules Silver Drills 100 Meters of 0.76% Cu, 113 ppm Mo, Within 461 Meters of 0.4% Cu, 74 ppm Mo

Posted on January 22, 2024
Hercules Silver Corp. (“Hercules Silver” or the “Company”;) (TSX-V: BIG) (OTCQB: BADEF) (FWB: 8Q7) is pleased to report positive results for drill hole HER-23-26 and confirm increasing copper grades to the west from recently reported holes drilled into the new Leviathan porphyry copper discovery at its Hercules project located in western Idaho (“HerculesR21; or the “Property̶1;). These results present a compelling vector toward the high-grade core of the porphyry system.

Assay results have now been received for HER-23-26 and confirm that grade increases west from drill holes HER-23-11 to HER-23-21 to HER-23-26, and from HER-23-08 to HER-23-05. Drill logs also demonstrate an increasing ratio of chalcopyrite to pyrite, a decrease in marginal phyllic alteration, and an increase in proximal potassic (biotite-magnetite) alteration in HER-23-26.

Copper grades also increase toward the north from HER-23-26 to HER-23-05 and planning is now underway to execute a 20,000-meter drill program aimed at vectoring into the core of the system. A new 2023 IP survey suggests the potential for significant expansion along a multi-kilometer trend beneath the Hercules Rhyolite, with no indication of considerable fault breaks in the system.

The Leviathan Porphyry remains open for expansion in multiple directions and thus far has only been tested within the 2022 IP survey area. Barrick Gold Corporation (“Barrick̶1;) has seconded three geologists to the Company and provided access to their senior technical team to help interpret the 2023 data and plan a large 20,000 meter follow-up drill program.

Drilling within an initial 500m x 450m area demonstrates increasing grades to the north and west.
HER-23-26, the latest hole drilled into the Leviathan Porphyry intersected 100 meters of 0.76% Cu, 113 ppm Mo, within 461 meters of 0.4% Cu, 74 ppm Mo.
New assay data and deep penetrating 3D IP suggest the potential early porphyry center may underlie the entire mapped exposure of Hercules Rhyolite.
IP data shows an arcuate-shaped chargeability target that closely follows the trend of the Hercules Rhyolite and roots into a vertical anomaly with coincident high conductivity (low resistivity) which may represent a potential early porphyry feeder intrusion.
With the aid of Barrick’s senior technical expertise, the Company is planning a 20,000-meter drill program to expand on its 2023 discovery.

Chris Paul, CEO and Director of the Company, noted: “The 2023 drilling season has been a massive success for the Company where testing of a large epithermal silver system at depth resulted in one of the most significant porphyry copper discoveries in the Western US in recent years. The first phase of blind drilling has now tested the copper porphyry system over a 500m x 450m area, with grades increasing to the north and west. Assays also remain pending for drilling within the shallow epithermal portion of the system which contributes to the potential future economics of the Property and provides investors with additional exposure to silver.

We are excited to be working with our new largest shareholder, Barrick, and their senior technical team, on the planning and execution of our upcoming 20,000-meter drill program. The ambitious program will systematically step out to the north and west of the 2023 drilling and test several kilometers of a new chargeability/conductivity target.

Further Update on 2023 Deep Penetrating 3D IP Survey by Dias Geophysical

The new large-scale IP survey carried out in late 2023 by Dias Geophysical Corporation reveals the presence of a much larger system in the lower plate than was previously recognized. Additional processing is underway to incorporate the 2022 high-resolution near surface data, which correlates well with the bornite-rich upper portion of the porphyry, with the new deep penetrating data, to generate a more robust inversion model over the entire Property. The new deep penetrating data shows an arcuate-shaped chargeability target which closely follows the trend of the Hercules Rhyolite in plan and roots into a vertical anomaly with coincident high conductivity (low resistivity) that may represent a potential early porphyry feeder intrusion.
