Initial Assay Results from the 2025 Drill Program on the Grad Property

(TheNewswire)

Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - October 6th, 2025– Rackla Metals Inc. (TSX-V: RAK) (the “Company”) reports assayresults from the first three drill holes of the 2025 campaign on theGrad Property. Holes G25-001, 002 and 003 tested below the high-gradeBiTe showing discovered in 2024.   Results from these first threeholes failed to return any continuity of the mineralization discoveredat surface and did not intersect any significant gold mineralization. However, assay results are still pending from additional holes whichshowed more prospective veining, alteration and mineralization.

The 2025 program was the maiden drill program on theproperty and management believes it was the most logical step toevaluate the high-grade results from the 2024 surface sampling on thissteep cliff face.  Rackla is encouraged that the ReducedIntrusion-Related Gold System model appears to be the correct modelfor the property as indicated by the strong correlation between goldmineralization, bismuth and tellurium. However, only minor, isolatedgold values were returned in these initial holes with the best being1.16 g/t gold over 4.75 m in hole G25-003 (Table 1). While this isdisappointing, there are still 7 holes to be reported, and some ofthese exhibited the highest vein density, strongest alteration andgreatest concentration of bismuth minerals observed in the core todate.

The strongest intensity of alteration and greatest veindensity occurs in the west-central part of the BiTe Zone. Hole G23-010tested the sediment-intrusive contact at the southwestern edge of theBiTe Zone and was a significant step out from earlier drilling.  Thetop of the hole, down to 218 m, had relatively low vein density count,but from 218 m to 452 m the vein density was some of the highestobserved at the BiTe Zone to date, averaging 24 veins-per-metre(Figure 1). Importantly, the veins within this interval containedabundant bismuth minerals.

All samples from the drilling have been sent to the laband the Company expects the remaining results within the comingweeks.

Rackla is working in consultation with the Sahtu Deneand Métis communities and remains committed to maintaining therespectful, collaborative relationships we’ve built with the Sahtu.As we advance exploration at our properties, we will continue workingclosely with local stakeholders and regulatory agencies to ensure ouractivities create long-term value and reflect communitypriorities.

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. Samples were prepared accordingto the ALS Prep-31A procedure, which involved crushing to >70%passing below 2 mm and split using a riffle splitter. 250 g splitswere pulverized to >85% passing below 75 microns. A four-aciddigest with an inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS)finish was used for 48-element analysis on 0.25 g sample pulps (ALScode: ME-MS61). All samples were analysed for gold content by fireassay with an atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) finish on 50 gsamples (ALS code: Au-GRA22). In addition, samples that returned overlimits for bismuth, tellurium, arsenic, base metals and silver weassayed by Ore Grade analytical methods.

For the purposes of this release, contiguousmineralized intervals at are defined as runs of mineralization >0.5g/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.
