Big Elk Has Successful Exploration Outcomes

VANCOUVER – Transatlantic Mining Corp. reported on the exploration activities at the Big Elk and Anvil prospects, key targets within the larger Monitor Copper-Gold Project. The project is located approximately 8 kilometers south of Taft, Idaho, USA and continues to demonstrate prospectivity.

High-Grade Surface Samples at Big Elk: An outcrop sample returned 36.1% copper (Cu) over 2.6 metres, with another gossanous sample yielding 6.6% Cu, confirming significant mineralization. Drilling Validates Targeting: Initial 1,100 metres of drilling confirmed the geometry of known mineralized structures, including intersecting historical workings, which provides critical insights for future targeting. Anvil Prospect Potential: Recent underground samples at Anvil indicate multiple copper fissure veins within a complex system.

“We are very pleased with the successful outcomes of our exploration at Big Elk, which has confirmed our geological understanding and the presence of copper mineralization,” said Bernie Sostak, CEO. “Our initial magnetic survey results and new Lidar data are providing compelling insights, supporting delineation of fissure veins and offering a clearer picture of the historical workings. This comprehensive information, covering both Big Elk and Anvil, is actively being integrated into an updated NI 43-101 report for the Monitor Project, positioning us strongly for our next targeted drill campaign and the discovery of additional veins within the claim package.”
