Search Minerals Reports Significant 2025 Channel Sampling Results in Labrador CREE District

Search Minerals Inc. (TSX.V: SMY) (OTC: SHCMF) has reported results from its 2025 channel sampling program at the Fox Run, Foxy Lady, Krazy Fox and Silver Fox prospects in southeastern Labrador. The program highlighted multiple channel samples at Fox Run with widths up to 18.18 meters and critical rare earth element grades comparable to the Foxtrot Open Pit Indicated Mineral Resource. These findings confirm additional mineralized zones along the same regional trend between the Foxtrot and Deep Fox deposits, supporting potential resource expansion and advancing several prospects toward drill-ready status within the emerging Port Hope Simpson-St. Lewis district.

The company controls a belt 63 km long and 2 km wide in this district, which is road accessible, on tidewater, and located near three local communities. Search Minerals is focused on finding and developing Critical Rare Earth Elements (CREE), Zirconium (Zr) and Hafnium (Hf) resources in this area. The company has completed a preliminary economic assessment report with resource estimates for Foxtrot and Deep Fox and is working on three exploration prospects along the belt: Fox Meadow, Silver Fox and Awesome Fox.

These sampling results are significant because they demonstrate continuity of mineralization along the regional trend, suggesting the potential for expanding the known resource base. The comparable grades to the Foxtrot resource indicate that the newly identified zones could contribute economically viable material. This advancement toward drill-ready status for multiple prospects accelerates the exploration timeline in a district that represents a strategic North American source of critical minerals.

Search Minerals has continued to optimize its patented Direct Extraction Process technology with support from the Department of Tourism, Culture, Industry and Innovation, Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, and from the Atlantic Canada Opportunity Agency. The company has completed two pilot plant operations and produced highly purified mixed rare earth carbonate concentrate and mixed REO concentrate for separation and refining.
