Bathurst Metals Corp. Amending Current Drill Permit to Increase Area for Drill Testing at Peerless Project in Goldbridge, B.C.

Vancouver, British Columbia (February 18, 2025) – Bathurst Metals Corp. (TSXV: BMV, OTC: BMVVF) (“Bathurst” or the “Company”) – Bathurst is planning to amend the current diamond drill permit to increase the area on the Peerless Gold Project for drill testing based on 2024 soil sampling results.

Peerless Project

Based on the successful definition of highly anomalous, gold-in-soil results from the 2024 soil sampling programs the company needs to increase the drill permit area to cover these highly prospective targets.

These new targets occur in similar lithological and structural settings to historically proven gold deposits in area. Notably, in close proximity to thrusted ultramafic units intersected by later brittle-ductile structures.
