Star Metro - Drilling Starts at Bitterroot Resources' Nighthawk Gold/Silver Project, Nevada

Drilling will target untested Miocene-age structures and potential intrusions which are covered by a thin layer of alluvium and colluvium. The drill targets have been developed through a multi-year exploration effort which began with regional exploration, followed by examination of nearby outcrop, a detailed aeromagnetic survey, prospecting, and soil geochemical surveys. Nighthawk hosts gold/silver-mineralized boulders with grades ranging from 0.83 to 38 grams gold/tonne that are associated with anomalous soil geochemistry. Drilling will test for structurally-controlled, near-surface oxidized epithermal gold/silver mineralization and intrusion-hosted base and precious metals mineralization. The Nighthawk Project is several kilometres immediately west of, and contiguous with, third party claims covering the past-producing open pit/heap-leach Boss Mine and the undeveloped, near-surface Castle, Berg and Black Rock gold deposits. The Nighthawk claims are located on Federally-managed (BLM) land in Esmeralda County, approximately 50 kilometres west of Tonopah, NV.

Drilling at Nighthawk is expected to continue until late December 2025, with results expected as early as the latter part of the first quarter of 2026. Additional information on the Nighthawk Gold/Silver Project is available on the Company's website www.bitterrootresources.com.
