INVENTUS Begins Exploration Drilling at Dorland Prospect

Targeting a High-Priority Geophysical Anomaly Associated with the Polymetallic Co-Au-Cu-Ni Surface Mineralization

TORONTO, June 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inventus Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE: IVS) (“Inventus” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that exploration drilling at its 100%-owned Dorland Prospect is currently underway. The Dorland Prospect is a part of the Company’s 280-km² Sudbury 2.0 Project and consists of a never-before-drilled high-grade cobalt (Co) and accessory gold-copper-nickel (Au-Cu-Ni) occurrence located 36 km northeast of Sudbury, Ontario.

The Company is starting a 1,000-meter diamond drill program to test the surface mineralization at various depths where a coincident geophysical anomaly exists. The anomaly was recently generated from an induced polarization (“IP”) survey conducted earlier in June that defines an area of strong chargeability and low resistivity below and along a trend of high-grade cobalt mineralization (see Figure 1). This IP anomaly is a continuous 50 m wide and 200 m deep southward trending feature extending to the bottom and southern limit of the survey.

The Dorland prospect was acquired in 2021 because of its geological similarities and large size compared to other Co-Au-Cu-Ni occurrences on the Sudbury 2.0 project. The discovery of this untested polymetallic mineral system with selective surface grab samples grading up to 1.2% cobalt, 2.6 g/t gold, 0.51% copper and 0.1% nickel has revealed a strong exploration target that has now been correlated with an excellent geophysical response.

The drilling program is anticipated to occur over the next three weeks with updates to follow.
