Grad Property Returns 10.5m @ 2.56 G/T Au in hole G25-009

(TheNewswire)

Vancouver, British Columbia – December 10 th , 2025 – TheNewswire - RacklaMetals Inc. (TSX-V: RAK) (the “Company”) reports analyticalresults from drill holes G25-009 and G25-010 from the 2025 campaign atthe Grad property. These holes tested the Intrusive-sediment contactsouth of the BiTe showing and continued well into the intrusive southof previously announced holes G25-004 to G25-008 (see news releasedated November 27, 2025, Figure 1).

Rackla Metals reports a significant intercept of 10.5meters grading 2.56 g/t gold in hole G25-009, which included anintercept of 8.45 g/t gold over 1.5 m, the strongest result from the2025 campaign (Table 1). The gold intercepts show good correlationwith bismuth and a moderate correlation with tellurium and tungsten.However, overall, the bismuth concentration in these holes is muchless than was visually estimated during core logging.

Table 1 – Summary of drill holeresults from holes G25-009 and G25-010 (intercepts are core intervalsand may not represent true widths).

The BiTe Zone is located at the base of the steep cliff inFigure 1 in the center of the area drill tested. It has been mapped asan intensely altered quartz-sericite zone in quartz-monzonite withbismuth sulphide and/or tellurides.  Surface sampling in 2024 and2025 returned high-grade gold results in chip-channel and grabsamples. Talus-fine sampling along the base of the cliff returned 500maveraging over one gram per tonne of gold with coincident, anomalousbismuth and tellurium. Drilling to date has failed to return anycontinuity to the gold mineralization at depth nor has it returned anyof the high-grade gold results returned from the surfacesamples.

A characteristic of RIRGS deposits in the TombstoneGold Belt is that vein density is typically an indication of grade.However, the results observed to date from the drilling at the GradProperty indicate that vein density is not the determining factor ashole G25-010 is intensely veined yet returned only weak, sporadic goldintercepts.

Trenching at the Manta showing yielded low-graderesults despite high-grade grab samples. The Manta showing is locatedin altered sedimentary rocks at the contact with the Manta intrusivebody, 1.5km south of the BiTe showing.  Initial grab and 1m chipsamples from quartz-bismuthinite veins in metasomatically alteredskarn zone at two locations returned a 5 multi-gram gold results(5.73, 8.36, 11.75, 48.3 and 52.1 g/t gold, Figure 2). However,channel sampled trenches cut across each of these areas returneddisappointing results with the best being 0.63 g/t gold over 1 m inthe northern trench and 1.41 g/t gold over 1 m in the southern trench.

Given the number of high-grade gold results obtainedfrom the sampling at Grad and adjacent prospects, further work needsto be done in the region.  The Company is working with the datacollected in the 2025 campaign to refine its model for the region andis planning a methodical approach for 2026 with the goal to unlockingthe key to these gold discoveries in this very prospective region ofthe Tombstone Gold Belt.

Sampling Methodology

For the 2025 program drilling was NTW-sized core. Oncethe core was received at the core logging facility it wassystematically logged for geological attributes, photographed andmarked for sampling by the geological staff. Sample lengths weregenerally 1.5 meter or less depending on the need to isolate featuresof interest. Core sampling was accomplished by cutting in halflengthwise along a pre-determined line, with one half to be sent tothe lab and one half stored as a record. Field duplicates werecollected at regular intervals as ¼ core samples by splitting the ½core to be sent to the lab, leaving a consistent record of half corematerial from duplicate and non-duplicate samples alike. Standardreference materials were inserted by Rackla personnel at regularintervals into the sample stream. The samples were delivered byexpeditor to ALS Canada Ltd preparatory facility in Whitehorse, Yukon.Sample preparation was completed at either the Whitehorse facility orre-directed by ALS to their Langley, BC facility, depending onworkloads, with final analyses completed at the ALS laboratory inNorth Vancouver.

ALS Canada Ltd is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 andISO9001:2015 for quality management. Core and rock samples wereprepared according to the ALS Prep-31A procedure, which involvedcrushing to >70% passing below 2 mm and splitusing a riffle splitter. 250 g splits were pulverized to >85%passing below 75 microns. A four-acid digest with an inductivelycoupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS) finish was used for48-element analysis on 0.25 g sample pulps (ALS code: ME-MS61). Allsamples were analysed for gold content by fire assay with an atomicabsorption spectroscopy (AAS) finish on 50 g samples (ALS code:Au-GRA22). In addition, samples that returned over limits for bismuth,tellurium, arsenic, base metals and silver we assayed by Ore Gradeanalytical methods.

For the purposes of this release, contiguousmineralized intervals at are defined as runs of mineralization >0.3g/t Au.

AboutRackla

Rackla Metals Inc. (TSX-V: RAK) is a Vancouver, Canadabased junior gold exploration company.  The Company is targetingReduced Intrusion-Related Gold Systems (RIRGS) mineralization on thesoutheastern part of the Tombstone Gold Belt in eastern Yukon andwestern Northwest Territories.  Management believes that this area,which is underexplored for RIRGS deposit types, has the potential tobe the next frontier for the discovery of these large goldsystems.
