Edmonton, Alberta, AB, May 6, 2026 – Torr Metals Inc. (“Torr” or the "Company") (TSX-V: TMET.V) is pleased to announce the completion of its 2026 surface geochemical sampling program across the Bertha – Bertha North and Kova target areas, two of four interpreted porphyry centres on the Company’s 332 km² Kolos Copper-Gold Project (Figure 1), ~35 km southwest of the city of Kamloops, British Columbia.

This work builds on the Company’s maiden Phase I drill program (2,733 m), which confirmed a newly identified, large-scale and long-lived hydrothermal native copper system with 68 mineralized intervals and oxidation extending to approximately 580 metres (m) vertical depth, and represents a key step toward advancing and refining targets for the interpreted porphyry source ahead of the fully-funded Phase II drill program.

The 2026 program was designed to evaluate lateral and depth extensions of mineralization at Bertha–Bertha North, while providing the first ever systematic coverage of the Kova target (Figure 1). A total of 521 soil samples and 50 rock grab samples were collected, with assays pending.

Field Observations Support Advancing Porphyry Source Model:

April 2026 field observations have further strengthened the Company’s evolving geological and geophysical model, which is focused on vectoring toward a potential porphyry source intrusion first identified in the Company’s April 15, 2026 news release.

• Reconnaissance has confirmed mineralized monzonite and diorite intrusive outcrops at the drill-permitted Bertha North and Kova targets, spatially associated with strong magnetic and resistivity anomalies. These are interpreted as expressions of larger, untested intrusive sources that will be targeted in the Phase II drill program (up to 6,000 m), representing a key advancement from Phase I, where only peripheral dyke phases were encountered.
• At Bertha North, mineralization coincides with strong magnetic responses, while historical data at Kova indicates a similar association; ongoing high-resolution magnetic surveys are expected to provide a modern dataset critical to resolving the geometry and extent of the underlying intrusive system.
• Intrusive and surrounding volcanic rocks contain veining with pyrite ± chalcopyrite ± chalcocite ± bornite ± molybdenite mineralization, consistent with porphyry-style systems.
• Increased vein density including stockwork veining has been observed within propylitic to phyllic altered volcanic and intrusive host rocks, consistent with peripheral to proximal porphyry environments.

Importantly, no modern surface geochemical data or high-resolution magnetic surveys exist over Kova, reinforcing the importance of the completed geochemical program as well as upcoming geophysical work to define the scale and geometry of the Kova system.

“Results from our 2026 field program continue to strengthen our confidence in the presence of at least two larger mineralized intrusive systems at Bertha North and Kova,” said Malcolm Dorsey, CEO. “Our maiden drill program confirmed an extensive, long-lived hydrothermal system and defined the structural controls and geometry of key lithologies, but largely within the peripheral footprint of a broader porphyry system. Building on that we are now systematically vectoring toward what was missing, the core or ‘heat engine’ of the system. Our integrated approach has allowed us to follow subtle geophysical signatures beneath cover and identify new surface mineralization within potential source intrusions.

Both Bertha North and Kova represent highly prospective source areas located at key intersections of northwest and north-northeast structural corridors. At Bertha North mineralization is localized along a picrite contact, already demonstrated at Bertha to concentrate native copper along-strike, providing a compelling combination of structural and lithological controls analogous to those observed at the New Afton deposit*, located approximately 27 km to the north-northeast. As we advance toward our fully-funded Phase II drill program, our focus is on refining and directly testing these potential source targets.”

Pre-Drill Geophysics to Define Intrusive Source Targets:

With geochemical sampling complete, the Company is advancing high-resolution drone magnetic surveys as a key step in refining drill targets ahead of Phase II drilling, followed by targeted induced polarization (IP) geophysical surveys.

• Bertha North
• Kova 
• The newly defined Sonic Zone, located east of Highway 5 (subject to permitting for potential future drill testing)

The Sonic Zone represents a compelling new copper-gold porphyry target characterized by copper soil anomalies covering a footprint of 8 km² and elevated copper values in rock samples (see February 3, 2026 news release), significantly expanding the exploration corridor along strike. While not currently included in the Phase II drill plan, the Company is advancing geophysical work to support potential future drilling, pending permitting.

The objective of the drone geophysical surveys is to:

• Delineate magnetite-bearing intrusive bodies and zones of magnetite destruction associated with hydrothermal alteration
• Map structural controls, including key fault intersections 
• Provide datasets for 3D magnetic inversion modeling 
• Generate high-confidence targets for follow-up ground induced polarization (IP) surveys

Structural Controls – A Potential Porphyry Setting:

The Kolos Project is situated within a highly prospective structural corridor defined by the intersection of north-northeast (N-NE) and northwest (NW) trending regional fault systems.

At the nearby New Afton deposit, a similar structural framework is observed, where subvertical north-northeast-trending fault zones act as primary controls on hypogene mineralization, while northwest-trending contacts and intrusive phases provide the lithologic and rheological architecture that focuses fluid flow and intrusion emplacement.

At Kolos, the intersection of these structural orientations is interpreted to play a potentially comparable role, where:

• N-NE structures act as primary conduits (“fluid flow”) for mineralizing fluids 
• NW-trending contacts, including picrite boundaries, provide favourable structural and geochemical traps 
• Structural intersections creates zones of enhanced permeability that focus porphyry intrusion emplacement and sulphide mineralization

This structural setting is consistent with nearby major deposits, including the New Afton Mine and Ajax Deposit (Figure 1, Figure 2), located approximately 27 km and 25 km along two regional north-northeast trends from the Company’s Bertha North–Kova targets and Sonic Zone, respectively, underscoring the district-scale exploration potential of the Kolos Project* (Figure 2).
