Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 5, 2025) - T2 Metals Corp. (TSXV: TWO) (OTCQB: TWOSF) (WKN: A2DR6E) ("T2" or the "Company") is pleased to announce assay results from the final seven holes from the nine hole Q4 2024 drill program at the Sherridon Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide ("VMS") Project in Manitoba. Significant copper, zinc, gold and silver mineralization was intersected in six of the nine holes, including high copper grades 250 m down plunge from the Lost prospect.
The 2024 drill program was the second completed by T2 Metals at Sherridon, designed to extend known mineralization and undrilled downhole EM anomalies in geologically/lithogeochemically prospective locations. Holes targeted mineralization along strike from the Lost Lake, Cold Lake, and Bob Historical Mineral Resources across a trend of approximately 5 km.

Sherridon is a well-known VMS camp in the Flin Flon - Snow Lake Greenstone Belt, with both a significant mining history and five near surface copper-rich Historical Mineral Resources (see Table 3, 4 and 5 and Press Release dated November 1 2024). A follow up Q1 2025 winter drilling program will begin soon, for which the Company is fully funded.
Mark Saxon, CEO of T2 Metals Corp. said "Our 2024 drilling at the Sherridon VMS project continues to deliver high grade copper from multiple prospect areas. In this recent program we were very pleased to encounter significant mineralization up to 250 m down plunge from the Lost Lake historical resource, opening the door to a large new target area.
Sherridon is a substantial project with more than 25km of strike length of prospective target horizon, along which lie two historical mines and five historical mineral resources. We continue to identify and prioritise new areas for testing using combined geophysics, geochemistry and geological interpretation. We look forward to initiating our winter 2025 drill program very soon"
Lost Lake
Holes SHN24014 (reported December 18 2024), SHN24015 and SHN24016 were drilled southeast of the Lost Lake Historical Mineral Resource, down plunge of T2 Metals' 2023 drill holes where high grade gold and copper was intersected (reported March 1 2024).
SHN24014, SHN24015 and SHN24016 targeted the down-plunge southeastern expression of the Lost Lake deposit as identified from the reinterpretation of historical downhole EM and structural geological data. Each drill hole intersected massive sulphide mineralization with high grade copper and zinc and elevated silver and gold. Massive sulphide thickness ranged from 6.5 m in hole SHN24014 to 4.5 m in SHN24016.
Lost Lake hole SHN23012 drilled in the 2023 program was re-entered and deepened by 51 metres as drill hole SHN23012DPN, to intersect the Lost Lake VMS horizon. This horizon was successfully encountered, with the target based on re-interpreted downhole EM that highlighted a deeper geophysical plate.
These multiple high-grade step out intersections at Lost Lake are highly encouraging, and suggest the continuation of high-grade polymetallic mineralization at greater than 250 m down plunge from the Lost Lake Historical Resource. In addition, the drill results demonstrate that the Lost Lake mineralization remains open to the southeast. T2 Metals are reviewing opportunities to test additional down-plunge extensions to the Lost Lake massive sulphides in upcoming drilling programs.
Cold Lake
Drill holes SHN24017 and SHN24018 were positioned northwest from the Cold Lake Historical Mineral Resource and designed as step-out down-plunge drilling from the historical resource area. Both drillholes tested northwest-plunging downhole EM conductors.
The furthest down-plunge drill hole SHN24018 was notable as it intersected two intervals of semi-massive and massive sulphide between 162 m and 206 m totaling 30 m, comprised of pyrrhotite, pyrite and minor chalcopyrite and sphalerite. Downhole EM is currently being undertaken at these drill holes to identify additional down-plunge mineralization.
Bob Lake
Drillholes SHN24019 and SHN24020 were the first by T2 Metals in the Bob Lake area, where a copper-rich Historical Mineral Resource (see Table 3) sits close to a fold hinge. Hole SHN24019 targeted a strike extensive undrilled portion of the strongly altered southeastern down-plunge extension of the Bob Lake massive sulphide. Drillhole SHN24020 targeted coincident strong VTEM and Spectrem airborne EM anomalies occurring along a recently interpreted, completely undrilled, southwest-facing fold repeat of the northeast-facing Bob Lake VMS Horizon.
Similar to Cold Lake, these Bob Lake holes were positioned to drill test reinterpreted semi-coincident VTEM and downhole EM geophysical targets. While strong conductors were intersected in both holes, the conductors were dominantly related to semi-massive pyrite and pyrrhotite sulphide minerals adjacent to a graphitic hanging wall conductor. Whole-rock geochemistry indicates very strong hydrothermal alteration within drill hole SHN24019 and, to a slightly lesser extent, in drill hole SHN24020, suggesting strong prospectivity in this area that will be targeted by future drilling programs. In addition, downhole EM geophysical surveys are planned for the SHN24019 and SHN24020 drill holes to locate potentially flat southeasterly-plunging, near-surface massive sulphides.
All 2024 analytical results, depths and locations are provided in Table 1 and shown on Figure 2. The most significant sulphide-mineralized drill intersections of copper ("Cu"), zinc ("Zn"), gold ("Au"), and silver ("Ag") are provided in Table 2. True thickness of intersections are unknown, but is interpreted to exceed

Eight holes, plus one re-entry hole, for a total of 2,064.7 m were completed at Cold, Lost, and Bob Lake deposits in the Q4 2024 program, testing a total strike length exceeding 1.9 km from the northwest end of the Cold Lake deposit to the southeast end of the Lost Lake deposit.
Lost and Cold Historical Mineral Resources lie along a VMS horizon that is both parallel to and typically less than 850 m from the VMS horizon that hosts the historic Sherritt Gordon East and West Mines, where 7.74 million tonnes were mined at an average grade of
The Lost Lake and Cold Lake zones comprise a continuously mineralized horizon over a known strike length of approximately 1.8 km. The Lost and Cold prospects were the subject of investment by HudBay Minerals Inc from 2009 - 2012 that included metallurgical drilling with a view to open pit mining and subsequent processing in Flin Flon.
Assay results confirmed the visual identifications of semi and massive sulphide in core logging. The drill current program extends drilling results by the previous explorers and defines shallow-dipping and plunging massive sulphide lenses that remain open to the north and south and at depth. New information from this drill program, plus camp-scale compilation work further demonstrates the strong regional flat southeasterly plunge controls and robust footwall alteration vectoring features. Cross and longitudinal sections are being prepared and will be shared shortly.
Numerous geophysical targets and key VMS-associated structural controls provide additional high-value targets for planned Q1 2025 drill programs.

Notes:
- CIM definitions were followed for the estimation of mineral resources. Includes drilling up to the end of 2010.
- Mineral resources are estimated at a ZnEq cut-off of
4% (ZnEq% equals Zn% + Cu% x 2.771 + Au g/t 1.028 + Ag g/t x 0.015) and a minimum two metre core length. - Long term $US metal prices of
$900 /oz gold,$15.00 /oz silver,$2.50 /lb copper and$1.00 /lb zinc were used for the estimation - Specific gravity measurements were taken on a portion of the samples, where actual measurements were not available average SG values were used.
The Technical Report released on November 1st 2024 was prepared in accordance with the Canadian Securities Administrators' National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). The author and qualified person (as defined in NI 43-101) for the Technical Report is Mr. Darrell Turcotte, who reviewed the technical content of the news release and approved its dissemination.
The Company is not treating the historical estimates as current given that a Qualified Person has not completed sufficient work to classify the historical estimates as current. The reader is cautioned that the Historical Mineral Resources should not relied upon and are included for context and to demonstrate progression of the Sherridon Project through prior discovery and resource growth. The historical estimates are not meant to be interpreted as current mineral resource or mineral reserve estimates as described in sections 1.2 and 1.3 of NI 43-101. The author of the Technical Report and the Company have relied on the sources cited for information on these deposits and has been unable to verify the information independently. While this information is considered reliable, it does not comply with the standards of NI 43-101 and should not be relied upon.
The Historical Mineral Resource provided in Table 3 for Lost (Halo, 2011) post-dates and supersedes that provided in Table 1 from Bloom et al. (2010). The Company is not aware of any more recent resource estimates or data that would supersede the Historical Mineral Resources, but it is recommended that the reader exercise caution and consult the original historical reports and related technical documentation for a more complete understanding of the prospect's geology, sampling, and estimation procedures. The Company will need to conduct further exploration, and there is no guarantee that the results obtained will reflect the historical estimates. In order to verify the Historical Mineral Resources to current mineral resource estimates, among other things, the Company will need to retain a qualified person to verify historical drilling and assaying methods and validate historical results, add any drilling and assaying or other pertinent geological information generated since the last estimation, and complete a resource estimate and a new technical report. Significant data compilation, drilling, sampling and data verification may be required by a qualified person before the Historical Mineral Resources can be classified as current resources. There can be no assurance that any of the historical mineral resources, in whole or in part, will ever become economically viable. In addition, mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. Even if classified as current mineral resources, there is no certainty as to whether further exploration will result in any inferred mineral resources being upgraded to an indicated or measured mineral resource category.

Sampling Procedures and Quality Assurance (QA) / Quality Control (QC)
The Company's QA/QC drill core sample protocol consists of collection of samples over a minimum 0.3 m interval to a maximum 1.5 m interval (depending on the lithology and style of mineralization) over the mineralized portions of the drillhole. The drill core sample is cut in half with a diamond saw, with half of the core placed in individual sealed polyurethane bags and the remaining half securely retained in the original core box for permanent storage. Drill core samples are shipped by transport truck in sealed woven plastic bags to Bureau Vertias Minerals Analytical Lab preparation and analytical facility in Vancouver, BC.
Gold was determined by Bureau Veritas method FA430, a lead fire-assay fusion of a 30 g pulverized sample with an atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) finish. Various metals including silver, gold, copper, lead and zinc were determined by inductively-coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) or inductively-coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS), following multi-acid digestion (Bureau Veritas method MA270). This method is considered an assay method with a precision of
