Cascadia Minerals Ltd. announced its fully-funded phase one exploration program for the 2024 field season. The phase one program will be focused on exploration for copper-gold porphyry systems throughout Yukon's underexplored Stikine Terrane - the same geological Terrane that hosts numerous copper-gold deposits in BC's prolific Golden Triangle. Phase one exploration will be anchored by a diamond drill program at the Catch Property to follow up on the 2023 drill discovery of a significant new copper-gold porphyry system, with drilling scheduled to commence May 15th.

Catch Drill Plan (CNW Group/Cascadia Minerals Ltd.) Phase 1 Exploration Highlights. 1,200 m of diamond drilling at the Catch Property, following up on 2023 drill hole CA-23-002 which returned 116.60 m of 0.31% copper with 0.30 g/t gold from a new porphyry discovery; and Comprehensive property-wide prospecting, mapping and soil sampling at Catch to advance up to ten additional copper-gold targets;. Inaugural exploration programs at the Mack's Copper and Milner properties, two recently staked Stikine Terrane projects hosting new copper-gold showings with significant copper-gold porphyry discovery potential; and Grassroots exploration at the Sands of Time property, which hosts two large molybdenum +- copper soil anomalies located adjacent to Western Copper and Gold's Casino Project, where Rio Tinto and Mitsubishi Materials are strategic investors.

Catch Property. In 2023, Cascadia conducted the inaugural diamond drill program at the catch Property, which resulted in the drill confirmation of a significant new copper- gold porphyry discovery at the Spark Zone (formerly named the Diorite Zone). Two holes were completed at this target in 2023, both of which encountered mineralization.

Hole CA-23-002 returned 116.60 m of0.31% copper with 0.,30 g/t gold from 356.00 m and CA-23-001 returned 45.83 m of 0.30% copper with 0.15 g/t gold from surface. Diamond drilling is scheduled to commence May 15th at the Spark Zone, stepping out from hole CA- 23-002, targeting higher-grade potassic alteration in the core of the porphyry system. A small zone of potassic alteration was encountered in hole 2, which returned 0.95% copper and 0.96 g/t gold over 2.48 m from 437.52 m, confirming the higher-grade nature of potassic alteration in the system.

The first hole in 2024 will be drilled 315 m southeast of hole CA-23-002, testing a much broader and stronger IP chargeability anomaly underlying mineralized outcrop samples. The second hole is planned to test a chargeability and resistivity high 150 m north of CA-23-002. Additional drilling may be completed if results warrant and financing conditions allow.

A comprehensive prospecting, mapping and soil samples program will also be completed across underexplored portions of the property. Ten additional targets have been prioritized for follow-up rock sampling based on results of previous soil sampling and an airborne ZTEM survey. A 1.6 x 0.6 km copper-in-soil anomaly with an associated 500 x 500 m magnetic low (analogous to the Spark showing) located 10 km southeast of CA-23-002 has been identified as a high priority for prospecting.
