(“Torr” or the "Company") (TSX- V: TMET.V) is pleased to announce the signing of a Communications and Engagement Agreement with the Tahltan Central Government, (the “Agreement”) covering the Company’s 100% owned Latham Copper-Gold Project, located in a road-accessible area of the Golden Triangle, British Columbia, Canada.

The Agreement provides direction to the parties for ongoing discussions and cooperation regarding Torr’s Latham Copper-Gold Project, as well as providing a framework for sharing of information and open dialogue with transparent communication regarding Torr’s activities in Tahltan Territory.

About the Latham Project

The ~538 km2 Latham Copper-Gold Project is located on Highway 37 approximately 16 km south of the regional airport and town of Dease Lake, British Columbia, within the prolific Golden Triangle and in Tahltan Territory. This region is host to a number of major copper-gold deposits including the Red Chris mine and Saddle North deposits located 40 km and 30 km to the south respectively, with the Schaft and Galore Creek deposits within 140 km to the southwest. Highlights of the Latham Copper-Gold Project include:

• Contains the Gnat Pass copper-porphyry deposit – Initially discovered along with the Red Chris deposit during the 1960’s porphyry rush in northern British Columbia. Initial compilation of data shows that the Gnat Pass copper soil anomaly remains open to the north and has only been partially tested by historical drilling. Within the historical deposit area drilling also suggests copper mineralization remains open along-strike, to the east, and at-depth,

• Approximately 111 drillholes have targeted the Gnat Pass deposit, with 2012 historical drill highlights including 0.34% copper over 103 metres, 0.28% copper over 149 metres, and 0.44% copper over 56 metres (see NI 43-101 Technical Report (August 24,2021),

• Excellent exploration potential with an additional 9 known at-surface mineral occurrences exhibiting characteristics of porphyry and epithermal systems supported by a robust historical dataset - a large portion of the property also remains underexplored,

• Gold potential on the property remains largely untested in drilling, with current known rock grab samples assaying up to 6.45 g/t gold (Au) and historical gold soil anomalies up to 309.10 ppb Au,

• Road accessible located along paved Highway 37, nearby provincial power grid and regional airport, and proximity to existing mines in a proven and profitable mining jurisdiction that is within a highly prospective region of the Golden Triangle.
