ETRUSCUS REVIEWS ROCK & ROLL PORPHYRY POTENTIAL FOLLOWING SEABRIDGE’S SNIP NORTH RESOURCE

Executive Summary

Etruscus Resources Corp. has provided a comprehensive exploration update for its 100%-owned Rock & Roll Property in British Columbia's Golden Triangle, prompted by neighboring Seabridge Gold's maiden mineral resource estimate at Snip North. The Seabridge discovery reported an inferred resource of 9.2 million ounces of gold, 28.3 million ounces of silver, and 923 million pounds of copper within a bulk-tonnage magmatic-hydrothermal copper-gold porphyry system.

The significance of this development extends beyond the immediate resource numbers. The Snip North deposit is located immediately southeast of Rock & Roll and suggests the historically recognized Bronson Corridor mineralized belt extends farther northwest than previously understood. This corridor has been recognized for over a decade as a significant structurally controlled mineralized zone, but was previously thought to terminate south of the Iskut River. The discovery north of the river indicates the potential for similar systems across the broader region.

Etruscus has identified seven distinct targets across Rock & Roll that exhibit characteristics consistent with intrusive-related hydrothermal systems. These include the Blackdog Deposit with stratabound sulphide mineralization, Kashmir with porphyry-style alteration and rock samples up to 5,970 ppm copper and 51.3 g/t gold, and Heather featuring a 1.0 km by 0.6 km geochemical anomaly with epithermal veins. Additional targets include Stardust, Zappa, North Gossan, and Hammer, each displaying various combinations of alteration, mineralization, and geophysical signatures associated with porphyry environments.

The company's 2026 exploration strategy focuses on systematic re-evaluation of these targets using modern geological interpretation and deep-penetrating geophysical techniques. Etruscus has initiated a comprehensive compilation of historical data across the property and plans airborne and ground-based surveys including ZTEM and Magnetotelluric methods to identify signatures of concealed porphyry systems. This approach reflects the key lesson from Snip North: that significant mineralized systems can remain concealed beneath subtle surface expressions despite extensive historical exploration. The strategic positioning along the interpreted northwest continuation of the Bronson Corridor, combined with shared Stuhini Group host geology, positions Rock & Roll as a compelling exploration target in one of Canada's premier mining districts.
