Electrum Discovery Identifies New Mineralised Trends and Refines Targeting with Magnetic Survey

Vancouver, Canada, June 12, 2025 – TheNewswire – Electrum Discovery Corp. (“Electrum” and/or the “Company“) (TSX-V:ELY | FRA:R8N | OTC:ELDCF) is pleased to announce results of recent ground magnetic survey at its 100% owned Timok East Copper-Gold Project (“Timok East” and/or the “Project“) located in the prolific West Tethyan Belt in the Republic of Serbia.

 

Highlights: Ground magnetic survey totalling 280 line-kilometres completed across 59 square kilometres of the southern Timok East licences (Makovište and Luka).  Magnetic-high anomaly identified along the Bambino trend, intensifying northward across previously unexplored ground.  Western Mag target shown to extend as a major NNW-trending feature, strengthening its classification as a priority target.  New target identified by magnetic anomaly along the eastern boundary of the limestone ridge.  Initial 3D inversion and integration of magnetic data underway to support further targeting across multiple zones.  Fieldwork, including surface geochemical surveying and geological mapping, is planned to advance exploration over the identified targets.

 

Dr Elena Clarici, CEO and President of Electrum commented: “The ground magnetic survey has significantly improved our understanding of the structural and geological architecture at Timok East. The results confirm the northward continuation of the Bambino trend, where magnetic highs are spatially associated with copper anomalies in both soil and rock samples, extending into previously untested ground. We are also encouraged by the definition of the Western Mag target, which aligns with key volcanic units and structural features known to host porphyry-style systems in the region. The identification of a new magnetic anomaly along a limestone–sandstone boundary, with no history of exploration, presents an exciting new target. These findings will guide our next phase of fieldwork and targeting as we continue to advance the Timok East project.”

The ground magnetic survey covered 59 square kilometres across the Makovište and Luka licences, comprising a total of 280 line-kilometres. Line-spacing was 300 meters with more detailed 150 meter line-spacing over prioritized target areas (see Figure 1).

Initial interpretation of the data highlights several key trends and targets:

Bambino Trend

A prominent magnetic-high anomaly extends northward from the Bambino area, coinciding with zones of elevated copper in soil and copper, gold, and silver in rock samples along a NNW trending structurally controlled corridor. The anomaly intensifies toward the north, coinciding with the Northern Skarn target and continuing beyond the limits of current exploration into the Luka area (see Figure 1). Further north, the magnetic response strengthens across mapped lithological boundaries, indicating that the anomaly is not solely attributable to lithological contrast, but may reflect magnetite-bearing hydrothermal alteration (see Figure 2). This magnetic feature supports the potential for a wider zone of magnetite enrichment potentially related to widespread skarn-style or intrusion-related alteration along the entire Bambino trend.

Western Mag Target

The ground magnetic survey has provided additional resolution to regional datasets, refining the geometry and structure of the Western Mag target. The anomaly is defined by a segmented magnetic high extending along a major NNW-trending corridor coinciding with Phase 1 andesitic volcanic rocks along a regional extensional fault— a geological setting that hosts several major porphyry copper deposits within the Timok region. The magnetic response includes multiple linear highs that may correspond to magnetite-bearing alteration zones or magnetite bearing phase one andesites, consistent with the potential for skarn or porphyry-style mineralisation. Structural intersections along the corridor provide additional  to  prioritise follow-up exploration.

New Limestone BoundaryTarget

A newly defined linear magnetic-high anomaly has been delineated along the westerly dipping contact between Jurassic limestones and Palaeozoic conglomerates and sandstones. This feature coincides with a geologically favourable setting for skarn or carbonate replacement (CRD) style mineralisation. With no recorded historic exploration in this area, it represents a high-priority target for follow-up fieldwork (see Figures 1 & 2).

Data Integration and Target Refinement

3D inversion of the magnetic data is under way and will be integrated with previous geophysical, geological and geochemical datasets to improve subsurface understanding and assist in refining priority targets ahead of follow-up field programs.

1 Preliminary Economic Assessment and NI43-101 Technical Report for the Medgold Tlamino Project, January 7, 2021, www.sedarplus.ca. The effective date of the resource estimate is January 7, 2021.  Authors of the Reports are: Mr. Richard Siddle, MAIG, of Addison Mining Services Ltd for Mineral Resources; Dr. Matthew Randall, FIMMM, of Axe Valley Mining Consultants Ltd for Mining; Mr. Ian Jackson, FIMMM, of Bara Consulting for Mineral Processing, and Dr. Andrew Bamber, MCIM, of Bara Consulting Ltd for Economic Analysis.

The PEA is preliminary in nature, and it includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be characterized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the PEA will be realised.
