Rackla Metals Initiates 2025 Exploration Program at BiTe Zone

July 8, 2025 – NewsWall –Rackla Metals Inc. (TSX-V: RAK) has commenced its 2025 exploration program at the BiTe zone. The program includes geological mapping and sampling, drill pad construction, and drill mobilization to the first drill pad. A field camp has been established 1 km west of the BiTe zone.

Mapping along the western extension of the 550m talus anomaly has extended the occurrence of sheeted veins for an additional 300m west of the original BiTe discovery. Multiple vein sets have been identified cutting the intrusion. Channel sampling is underway to test extensions to the BiTe zone.

Sampling has also commenced on the ridge top 450m to the north and 350m vertically above the BiTe zone. Veins have been observed along the entire 160m length of the ridge line. Geologists will start mapping and sampling the slopes next week.

The 2025 program includes follow-up surface exploration at Grad and a 4,000m maiden drill program focused on the BiTe target. The Company has received confirmation from the Northwest Territories Mineral Incentive Program (MIP) for $180,630 in funding. This funding will assist Rackla to evaluate the broader region.

The Grad Project is fully permitted for the 2025 exploration season with a five-year, Type A Land Use Permit from the Sahtu Land and Water Board.

The BiTe zone is defined by a broad quartz-sericite alteration zone with intense quartz-tourmaline and quartz-sulfide veining. Rock sampling returned significant gold grades, up to 92 g/t Au, with many rock samples returning multi-gram gold. A continuous channel sample returned 38m averaging 1.8 g/t Au.

The mineralization is associated with bismuth, tellurium +/- tungsten, confirming a Reduced Intrusive-Related Gold System (RIRGS). A talus-fine sampling program identified a 550-metre interval averaging 1.06 g/t Au.

Regional crews are preparing to commence sampling of other target areas identified by last year’s geochemical program. The program will include stream sediment sampling, prospecting, and rock sampling.

Rackla is consulting with the Sahtu communities.

Scott Casselman, B.Sc., P.Geo., Vice-President Exploration of the Company, reviewed and approved the technical information.
