News Release - Vancouver, BritishColumbia – TheNewswire - March 13, 2025: GSP Resource Corp. ( TSX-V: GSPR / FSE: 0YD / OTC:GSRCF ) (the “ Company ” or “ GSP ”) announcesthat it is nearing completion of a draft 5-year multi-year area based(MYAB) permit application in preparation for submission to the BritishColumbia Ministry of Mining and Critical Metals (“BC MMCM”) andreview by relevant First Nation’s groups with respect to the MerProperty in the Highland Valley Copper Camp of British Columbia.
The Mer Property comprises 185 hectares in the KamloopsMining Division, located approximately 1.5 km NW of GSP’s Alwin MineProject and are surrounded by Teck Resource’s Highland Valley Copperclaim group directly west and south of the Highland Valley CopperMine’s active operations 1 ( Figure 1 ). The Mer Property hosts a copper exploration target zonelocated NW of the Company’s Alwin Mine High grade copper-silver-goldtarget zone.
The permit application is expected to describe thedetails of an initial year-one diamond drilling program, followed bypermitting of sufficient surface disturbance to support anticipatedexpansion diamond drilling within the following four years of thepermit. The Property is well accessed via existing logging roads thattraverse the proposed drilling area where prior logging activities andexcavator trenching has exposed a zone of copper mineralization atsurface ( Figure 2 ).
About the Mer Claims:
The Mer Claims were the subject of intensiveexploration by the Cleveland Ming & Smelting Co. Ltd. between theyears 1965 and 1971. During that time exploration within the currentMer and surrounding claims now held by Teck Highland Valley CopperCorporation comprised geochemical and IP/resistivity geophysicalsurveys, geologic mapping, bulldozer trenching, completion of 16percussion drill holes totaling 610 metres (m), and a single 150 mdiamond drill hole targeting the Mer showing.
Percussion and diamond drilling were reported to definea 70 x 120 metre northeast trending porphyry copper-molybdenum zonecharacterized by disseminated chalcocite, chalcopyrite, bornite andmolybdenite mineralization and associated biotite and sparse potassicalteration.
At the Mer showing, historical percussion drill holes1, 3, 15, and 16, forming a 70 x 40 m diamond pattern in plan returnedvalues of 9 m averaging 0.47%copper (Cu); 30 m averaging 0.53% Cu; 15 m averaging 0.50% Cu; and 21m averaging 0.51% Cu 2 respectively, commencing at downhole depths ranging from 6to 18 m.
A single diamond drill hole was centered on thepercussion drill holes and intersected a zone of chalcocitemineralization within biotite and potassic altered granodioriteintrusive rocks averaging 0.29% Cu over 24 m from a downhole depth of 9m. The zone of mineralization remains open to the north andwest.
No significant exploration has been reported withinthis project since the initial work programs ending in the early1970’s. Given the presence of drill confirmed porphyrycopper-molybdenum mineralization, a location 6 kilometers west of theValley Pit at Teck Resource Limited’s Highland Valley CopperOperations, and its position with the Chataway and Guichongranodiorite phases of the Guichon Batholith the Mer Project is a highpriority for follow up exploration.
