2025 Drill Program Completed on the BiTe Showing and New Gold Discovery Reported at Manta

(TheNewswire)

Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - September 8, 2025– Rackla Metals Inc. (TSX-V: RAK) (the “Company”) is pleased toannounce that the Company has completed the 2025 drill program at theBiTe showing on the Grad Property. Additionally, the Company reportsthat it has made a new discovery from surface sampling on the Mantaintrusion, 2 km south of the BiTe showing.

Rackla has also been informed by the lab that resultsfrom the first three drill holes will not be completed until after the21 st of September.

• The final two drill holes (G25-009 and 010) weredrilled on the southern margin of the intrusion and encounteredimpressive alteration zones and abundant sheeted veining.

• Sheeted veining and bismuth-sulphide/telluride(?)mineralization has been observed in all holes drilled in theprogram.

• Core samples from all holes have been delivered to thelab and the Company still awaits the analytical results.

• The first rock samples collected in the vicinity of theManta intrusive have returned several multi-gram gold resultsassociated with sheeted veining and bismuth mineralization.

The drill program at the BiTe showing was completed onSeptember 4 and the drill crew has demobilized for the season. In2025, 10 holes were completed for a total of 4,486 m. The drillprogram tested an area measuring 600 x 360 x 550 m.

The area tested has demonstrated a con sistent set of sheetedquartz/sulphide + tourmalineveins with 3 dominant vein orientations (Figure 1). A broad zone withintense quartz and quartz-tourmaline veining and elevated bismuthcontent was intersected at the top of holes G25-004 and 005. This zonehas been intersected in holes G25-006, G25-007, G25-009 and G25-010. The zone shows good continuity and appears robust with increasingstrength and width as the intercepts get deeper.

Sampling of quartz-arsenopyriteveins on the ridge top and high on the north face of the intrusivehave returned low gold values. Little work has been done below theupper most reaches of this face. Sampling on the west and east ridgeshas observed quartz veining  with bismuth sulfides/tellurides. Results from this sampling are pending.

2026 will see a focus of drilling from the ridge top,testing the core of the Grad intrusive. Several areas have beenidentified where pads can be established. The Company had planned todrill this area from Pad E in 2025, however determined to delay thishole until 2026 due to inclement weather and the related safetyhazards.

The last 2 holes, G25-009 and G25-010, tested theintrusive-sediment contact area and each intersected an intenselyaltered interval of silica-sericite-chlorite alteration with abundantdisseminated bismuthinite mineralization. A variety of vein andmineralization types were encountered in hole G25-009 and examples areshown in Figure 2. The hole was collared in sediments and continued insediments until 127.14 m. A few narrow intrusive dykes cut thesediments and were well altered and mineralized with bismuthinite(Figure 2 A). The sediments were also well veined withquartz-carbonate veins, occasionally containing a white-blue bismuthalloy mineral (Figure 2 D). Further down the hole sheeted quartz veinswere observed to contain abundant bismuthinite and chalcopyrite(Figures 2 B and C).

Hole G25-010 tested the sediment-intrusive contact atthe southwestern edge of the BiTe Zone and was a significant step out. The top of the hole down to 218 m had relatively low vein densitycount, but from 218 m to 452 m the vein density was some of thehighest observed to date, averaging 24 veins-per-metre (Figure 1).Importantly, the veins within this interval contained abundant bismuthminerals (Figure 3).

All samples from the drilling have been sent to the lab. Rackla hasnot received any drill sample analytical results as of this pressrelease, however the Company does expect the initial results withinthe coming weeks and a steady flow of results following that.

New Discovery:  Manta Intrusion

The Company would also like to report a significant newsurface discovery at a previously unmapped intrusion which the Companyhas named the Manta intrusion. The Mantaintrusion is within the Grad property, 2 km south of the BiTe showing,and was discovered by Rackla crews during reconnaissance prospectingin 2024. Prior to discovery the intrusion was not identified ongovernment maps.

This year’s surface sampling has shown that theintrusion is multi-phase with the main portion being megacrysticgranodiorite measuring 1.2 by 0.7 km. The intrusion has a largecontact aureole with hornfelsing of quartzite and development of askarn horizon approximately 30 metres thick. The skarn horizon is acomplex unit composed of calc-silicate, diopside, garnet andquartz.

Mineralization at Manta consists of three main types:quartz±carbonate veins; disseminated and veined pyrrhotite, pyriteand bismuthinite; and disseminate sulphides in quartz-porphyrydykes . The quartz±carbonate veins are from 1 to 20 cm wide and contain bismuthinite.These are hosted in the quartzite and skarn. Surface sampling of theseveins in 2025 have returned grades of 52.1, 11.8, 8.4 and 5.7 g/t Aufrom grab samples (Figure 4).

The disseminated and veined pyrrhotite, pyrite andbismuthinite are restricted to the skarn unit on the western edge ofthe intrusion with locally massive sulphide lenses in the 5-10 cmrange. A 1.0 m composite chip sample from this area returned 48.3 g/tAu.

A grab sample of disseminate sulphides inquartz-porphyry dykes with quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration hasreturned 2.25 g/t Au.

The preliminary observations of the mineralizationstyles and these sampling results indicate that the Manta intrusion isanother Reduced Intrusion-Related Gold System target withskarnification of the contact sediments. A follow-up program ispresently underway consisting of channel sampling and detailed mappingof the prospect.
