T2 Metals Begins Drilling at the Sherridon Copper-Zinc Project, Manitoba

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 28, 2023) - T2 Metals Corp. (TSXV: TWO) (OTCQB: AGLAF) (WKN: A3DVMD) ("T2" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the commencement of drilling at the Sherridon copper-zinc project in west-central Manitoba. Sherridon is a well known VHMS camp in the Flin Flon - Snow Lake district, with both a significant mining history and substantial copper-rich historical resources calculated on behalf of Halo Resources Ltd in 2010. A granted Work Permit allows for execution of the 2023 drill program, and future drill programs until May 2026, subject to notification of future proposals.

Despite its resource pedigree (see Table 1), Sherridon has seen no drilling for more than a decade, due a sustained period of low metal prices when the previous operator was active. T2 Metals have acquired, collated and reprocessed past exploration data that includes more than 400 drill holes and extensive geophysical data, and have identified opportunities for additional copper-zinc discoveries. The presence of year-round road and operational rail access to the project, and near-surface historical resources, provides the opportunity for both cost effective exploration near term production.

The 2023 drilling program by T2 Metals is targeting the Lost and Cold historical resource areas (see Figure 1) where high grade copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) rich mineralization has previously been discovered from surface to more than 250 metres vertical depth. These two prospects lie less than 2km from the Sherritt Gordon East and West mines, where 7.74 million tonnes were mined at an average grade of 2.46% Cu, 2.84% Zn, 0.6 g/t Au and 33 g/t Ag (Goetz & Froese, 1981) between 1931 and 1951. Other resource areas will be drill tested during this campaign and in 2024.

Lost and Cold mineralization comprise a continuously mineralized horizon over a 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.

Mark Saxon, CEO of T2 Metals Corp., said, "the Sherridon project in Manitoba is long overdue for investment, and our team feel fortunate to be exploring such a substantial site with large datasets and even larger discovery potential. We have built a strong team with experience in the region, who are leading us to exciting new targets. In collaboration with the Kiciwapa Cree was a building both assets and skills in Sherridon as we progress to a new phase of discovery."

A drill contract is in place for a total of 1,600 m with Quesnel Bros. Diamond Drilling Ltd ("QB Drilling"). Near surface targets in the vicinity of known mineralization will be prioritised, with approximately 12 holes planned (see Figure 2).

The Company has established an Exploration Agreement with the Kiciwapa Cree, part of the Mathias Colomb First Nation, to ensure maximum benefit from T2 Metal's investment at Sherridon is captured within the region. The Kiciwapa Cree community and are now working collaboratively to support the drilling program and establish facilities for core handling and logging (see Figure 3).

The recent launch of "The Manitoba Critical Minerals Strategy: Driving Sustainable Growth" by the Government of Manitoba highlights the importance of exploration for copper and other critical metals and minerals in Manitoba. The Honorable Heather Stefanson, Premier of Manitoba, noted that the "clean and low-cost energy sources, competitive business costs, a young and skilled workforce, and world-class education and research institutions" alongside high geological potential places Manitoba in an excellent position to continue to supply low-carbon metals to the world.

Sherridon is a large volcanic hosted massive sulphide (VHMS) camp with an extensive mining history and multiple copper-zinc-silver-gold historical resources and occurrences. The project is well-served by all weather roads, rail and the Sherridon/Cold Lake village.

Indicated and Inferred resources for Bob, Lost, Cold, and Jungle deposits. Mineral Resource estimates are based upon Bloom, L., Healy, T., Giroux, G., Halo Resources Ltd. 2010, Sherridon VMS Property, Technical Report NI43-101 - November 22, 2010, which is available at www.sedar.com.

Mineral Resources were estimated at a net smelter return (NSR) cut-off of US$20 per tonne and US$45 per tonne for open pit and underground respectively. Metal prices used were US$3.00/lb copper, US$1.05/lb zinc, US$1,000/oz gold and US$15.00/oz silver. Metallurgical recovery factors assumed were 92% for copper, 83% for zinc, 65% for gold and 57% for silver.

The Mineral Resource estimates were prepared under the direction of, and dated and signed by, a Qualified Person as defined in accordance with NI 43-101 and CIM Definition Standards. The data, information, estimates, conclusions and recommendations were consistent with the information available at the time of preparation. The terms "mineral resource", "measured mineral resource", "indicated mineral resource" and "inferred mineral resource" are defined in NI 43-101 and recognized by Canadian securities laws. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be upgraded to mineral reserves. Aguila has received the exploration and drilling data, but has not independently confirmed the Mineral Resource estimates. Halo has indicated that no Mineral Resource estimates were completed subsequent to those provided in Table 1.
