Significant advances are being made at understanding the emplacement of E&L mineralization along structural contacts. In addition, key geochemical and geophysical markers related to high-grade mineralization are being unraveled and are instrumental in detecting and tracking new massive sulphide mineralization toward projected pathways.
Highlights:
- EL-19-75 has extended the
Lower Discovery Zone (LDZ) 25 meters to the north where it remains open, cutting 2.14 meters of 7.1% nickel and 3.9% copper within a broader 90-meter mineralized interval. More significantly, this intersection demonstrates a contact-style massive sulphide along the eastern wall of the E&L main chamber. This greatly expands the potential for a shell of continuous massive sulphides along the country rock contact within this segment of the E&L intrusion; - EL-19-74 has cut 5.98 meters grading 6% nickel and 2.6% copper, extending the Northeast zone eight meters to the east;
- EL-19-72 (4.4 meters @ 2.6% nickel and 0.93% copper starting just 39.5 meters downhole) provides additional support for the presence of a new near-surface, flat-lying massive-semi-massive sulphide zone (adjacent to the Central zone) with a minimum 50 meters of strike length;
- El-19-67 has intersected two intervals of mineralized gabbro well below the LDZ, indicating the main E&L chamber is connected to the second deeper chamber confirmed by earlier drill holes EL-19-54 & EL-64. Elevated Cu-Ni ratios, total precious metals and metal tenors indicate the potential for a high grade or enriched Cu-PGE zone along trend;
- Two important geophysical anomalies ("F" and "Q"), approximately 700 meters southeast and nearly 1,000 meters south of the historic E&L deposit, respectively, are being revisited for their potential to greatly expand the nickel sulphide footprint at
Nickel Mountain , underscoring the scale of this system. Mira Geoscience, an industry leader in advanced geological modelling, is making a third-party independent presentation regarding these intriguing anomalies at the AME Roundup inVancouver Wednesday, January 22 .

With global top tier nickel-copper massive sulphide grades, a unique mineral suite rich in strategic metals, and a rising trend in commodity prices, Garibaldi is well positioned for the global green revolution and the urgent demand to replace depleting metal inventories critical to advanced battery technology.

Anomalies "F" and "Q"
Recent reviews of geophysical magnetic data from anomalies below the E&L mineral zones remain unexplained after analysis of drill core samples from very limited drilling of these anomalies failed to provide an adequate explanation as to their source. The known massive sulphide mineralization at

Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC)
All diamond drilling sample batches included 5% QA/QC samples consisting of certified blanks, standards and field duplicates. Multiple certified ore assay laboratory standards and one blank standard were used in the process. Samples were submitted to
Samples were prepared by crushing the entire sample to 75% passing 2mm, riffle splitting 250g and pulverizing the split to better than 85% passing 75 microns. Gold, platinum and palladium were analyzed using a 30-gram fire assay and ICP-AES. Total sulphur and total carbon were analyzed using a Leco method. Nickel, copper, cobalt, silver and base metals were analyzed by sodium peroxide fusion and ICP-MS.
The performance on the blind standards, blanks and duplicates achieved high levels of accuracy and reproducibility and has been verified by
