Stuhini refocuses on growing demand for precious and critical metals

Stuhini Exploration (TSXV: STU; OTCQB: STXPF) announced a renewed and sharpened focus on its flagship Ruby Creek project, located near Atlin, British Columbia, following a comprehensive strategic review of its project portfolio.

Meredith Eades, president and CEO of Stuhini, commented: "As global demand for precious and critical minerals continues to grow, driven by macroeconomic uncertainty, industrial growth, and supply concerns, we believe Ruby Creek is uniquely positioned with its combination of scale, access, and diverse metal mix. Our focus is to unlock that value through methodical, data-driven work that prioritizes the strongest targets. With this year's program, we're laying the technical groundwork for what we believe could become a meaningful multi-zone drill campaign in 2026."

Surface rock sampling across the property has revealed gold assays reaching 121.34 g/t gold and 14,179 g/t silver, with multiple clusters of high-grade samples distributed across several target zones.

Explorers at Ruby Creek have identified a series of gold-bearing quartz veins across several structural zones, where rock sampling has shown grades up to 121.34 g/t gold. Silver mineralization spreads widely across the zones, with assays reaching 14,179 g/t silver. These zones offer strong near-surface potential, supported by historical geochemical trends and structural continuity, yet modern exploration techniques have largely left many of them untested.

Exploration teams have outlined Ruby Creek’s porphyry-style molybdenum deposit, defining a pit-constrained measured and indicated resource (March 2022) of 432.99 million lbs Molybdenum within 369.4 million tonnes grading 0.053% Molybdenum (0.020% cutoff), along with an inferred resource of 43.65 million lbs Molybdenum within 41.95 million tonnes grading 0.047% Molybdenum. Drilling efforts have highlighted multiple high-grade intervals exceeding 1% Molybdenum, with assays reaching up to 3.8%. Additionally, they have discovered early-stage tungsten mineralization, expanding exposure to this critical metal for industrial, defense, and energy applications.

Stuhini has completed a full review of historical exploration at Ruby Creek, incorporating rock and soil geochemistry, geophysical surveys, and drill data. This comprehensive data integration has allowed the team to reprocess legacy geophysical datasets, rank existing targets based on geological merit, structural controls, and accessibility, reexamine and identify multiple zones with high discovery potential that have seen limited modern exploration to date.

Stuhini's 2025 program will map geological features and sample geochemical data across high-priority target zones. Teams will conduct ground-based geophysics, including ground magnetics and VLF surveys, and perform channel sampling and trenching to refine structural models and prioritize drill targets. By leveraging Ruby Creek's scale, mineral diversity, historical data, and multiple open targets, Stuhini aims to create significant value. The program intends to systematically advance multiple zones toward drill readiness and launch a multi-zone drill campaign in 2026.
