Kinross Initiates Significant Drilling at BTU Metals' Dixie Halo Property

BTU Metals Corp. has announced that Kinross has commenced an essential core drilling program on BTU's Dixie Halo property, adjacent to Kinross's Great Bear gold deposit in Red Lake, Ontario. This action follows an option agreement finalized in 2023. Kinross's evaluation of past work, including re-logging drill cores, has led to this new drilling initiative. The program will cover approximately 8,000 meters across prioritized targets for potential gold mineralization.

BTU is also advancing work on its Hubcap property, adjacent to the Red Pine Exploration's Wawa Gold Project. The focus is on areas with strong shearing and quartz veining identified in late 2024. Upcoming work includes further geological mapping and geophysical surveys.

Progress is also being made at the Echum Project in Wawa, Ontario. Initial drilling intersected copper and zinc mineralization, with ongoing interpretation of results aiming to uncover the area's gold potential.
