Anteros Metals Inc. (CSE: ANT) has released assay results from channel sampling at its 100%-owned Havens Steady Polymetallic VMS Property in Newfoundland and Labrador, reporting a composited interval of 1.10% copper and 8.7 g/t silver over 4 metres from Trench 5 at a historical mineral showing east of the Main Mineralized Zone. The results come from fieldwork conducted in June and July 2026, when five machine-dug trenches totalling approximately 184 metres were excavated. Investors may be watching the results closely as they indicate copper-silver mineralisation in bedrock at a showing the company describes as inadequately tested by drilling.

Key Points

  • Anteros Metals Inc. (CSE: ANT) is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on projects in Canada.
  • Channel sampling at Havens Steady returned 1.10% Cu and 8.7 g/t Ag over 4 metres, including 1.38% Cu and 11.5 g/t Ag over 2 metres, from Trench 5.
  • Five trenches totalling approximately 184 metres were excavated; only Trench 5 reached bedrock and yielded seven consecutive 1-metre channel samples.
  • Investors may watch for further exploration activity, which the company states it will target in the coming months.

Trench 5 Channel Sampling Uncovers Copper-Silver Mineralisation in Bedrock

The highest-grade samples from Trench 5 were collected from sericite schist containing quartz-carbonate-sulphide stringers with visible chalcopyrite. Sample 107539 returned 14,700 ppm copper and 10.8 g/t silver, while samples 107541 and 107542 each returned approximately 13,500–14,100 ppm copper and 11.5 g/t silver. The company notes the 4-metre composite includes one metre of lower-grade material at 0.17% copper. The release states channel sample lengths may not represent true widths, and the extent and continuity of copper-silver mineralisation at this showing remain to be established.

Historical Context and the Main Mineralized Zone at Havens Steady

Havens Steady is described as a polymetallic volcanogenic massive sulphide property in central Newfoundland with historical silver-lead-zinc mineralisation and local copper-gold enrichment. The company's earlier geological modelling described the Main Mineralized Zone as extending over approximately 700 metres of drilled strike length, with mineralisation interpreted from surface to approximately 400 metres vertically. The release emphasises these are geological interpretations based on historical drilling and do not represent a mineral resource estimate. No mineral resource has been established at the property.

Qualified Person Sign-Off and Analytical Methods

The technical information in the announcement was reviewed and approved by Jesse Halle, P.Geo. (Newfoundland and Labrador), an independent Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Samples were submitted to Eastern Analytical Ltd., an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory in Springdale, Newfoundland. Multi-element geochemistry was analysed using ICP-OES, with overlimit assays completed via atomic absorption spectroscopy and gold estimated through fire assay. The company did not submit certified reference materials or blanks, though EAL inserts its own quality control materials into sample sequences.
