EXPANDING HISTORIC COPPER MINE

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – April 21, 2023) – York Harbour Metals Inc. (TSXV: YORK)  (FSE: 5DE0) (the “Company” or “York”) is pleased to report the final assay results from its Phase 4 drilling program (“Phase 4”) at the 100%-owned York Harbour Copper-Zinc Project (the “Project”) in western Newfoundland, Canada. These results further confirm the presence of high-grade copper-zinc mineralization, highlighting the potential for expanding mineral resources at the Project.

In addition to these final Phase 4 assay results, the Company will provide an update on its current Phase 5 diamond drilling campaign, targeting new areas of potential high-grade Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (“VMS”) mineralization.

Phase 4 played a crucial role in expanding the Company’s understanding of the potential within the Main Mine area and other parts of the 4,725-hectare property, building on positive results from earlier exploration phases.

Key Highlights from the Final Outstanding Analytical Results:

• Drill hole YH22-73 intersected 44.93 metres of 1.292% copper including 5.36 metres of 2.938% copper

• Confirmed significant high-grade copper-zinc VMS mineralization: The final assay results from the remaining four diamond drill holes of the Phase 4 program further confirmed the presence of significant copper-zinc mineralization, supporting the potential for expanded mineral resources at the York Harbour Copper-Zinc Project.

• Comprehensive understanding of project potential based on final drill assay results, combined with analytical findings from earlier exploration phases and most of the Phase 4 drilling program, provide an understanding of the Projects potential for expanding mineralization.

York’s President & CEO, Bruce Durham, commented, “We are pleased to report these final assay results from our Phase 4 drilling program. The continued confirmation of significant copper-zinc mineralization reinforces our belief in the potential of the York Harbour Copper-Zinc Project. As we move forward, we remain committed to unlocking further value and advancing our exploration efforts.”

Update on Phase 5 Drilling Program

The Phase 5 drilling campaign began on February 18^th with the casing on drill hole YH23-111. Since then, the Company has completed five drill holes (YH23-111-115) tracing the A Zone mineralized structure north for approximately 120 m, and four drill holes (YH23-116-119) testing for possible gold-bearing VMS mineralization within the K zone. Following this drilling, the drill rig and equipment was readied for NQ-sized drilling of the Pinnacle Pond zone, and the drilling began on this zone with the collaring of drill hole YH23-120 on March 30^th. To date, the Company has completed 2,170 m of NQ-size diamond drilling during the Phase 5 program.

Newfoundland’s Mining History and Northwestern Deposits
Newfoundland has a rich history of mining, which has made significant contributions to the provincial economy. The province is known for its diverse mineral resources, including base metals, precious metals, and industrial minerals. Western Newfoundland, in particular, has a history of successful mineral exploration and mining operations, with several significant base, precious and rare earth discoveries and mines.

The exploration potential of western Newfoundland is supported by its geology, hosting several mineral-rich geological belts. These belts are characterized by Precambrian and younger rocks and favorable structures, creating an ideal environment for the formation of critical element deposits. The presence of the Dunnage Zone, a well-known geological structure in the region, has been associated with VMS-style mineralization, making it an attractive target for exploration companies like ours.

The ongoing exploration success in western Newfoundland highlights the region’s potential for further discoveries and economic development. The provincial government has demonstrated support for the mining industry by offering incentives and promoting investment in mineral exploration.

With the York Harbour Copper-Zinc & its Bottom Brook Rare Earth Element Projects located in this resource-rich region, the Company is well-positioned to capitalize on the area’s geological potential. These projects are strategically located with access to essential infrastructure, such as roads, power, and ports, which will facilitate future project development and mining operations.

York’s President & CEO, Bruce Durham, further commented, “Newfoundland, particularly the western portion of the province, has showcased its potential for hosting significant deposits. Our two projects benefit from this geologically prospective setting, and we are dedicated to advancing our exploration efforts to unlock the full potential of our projects.”

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – April 3, 2023) – York Harbour Metals Inc. (TSXV: YORK) (FSE: 5DE0) (the “Company” or “York”) is pleased to announce the start of drilling at the Pinnacle Target (“Pinnacle”) on its Copper-Zinc-Silver VMS project in Newfoundland and Labrador.

This is a significant milestone for the Company as it represents the first-ever drilling at the Pinnacle Target. The Pinnacle Target is one of the most prospective areas of the York Harbour project, with significant potential to host high-grade copper, zinc, and silver mineralization.

The Company’s local field team Planet X Exploration Services Ltd. & Forage Fusion Drilling Ltd. have completed the helicopter supported drill pad preparation; finalized drill rig mobilization and assembly over the initial Pinnacle Target. Drill testing is set to begin immediately.

The Pinnacle Target was historically identified as having a large anomaly, confirmed by geophysical surveys and geological mapping but has never been drill-tested. The potential of testing the outer areas of the inferred distribution of VMS mineralization with folded volcanic sequence adds to the excitement around this project.

“We couldn’t be more excited to have reached this important milestone of our exploration program,” stated Bruce Durham, President & CEO of York Harbour Metals. “The start of drilling at the Pinnacle target marks a significant advancement in our mission to unlock the potential of the York Harbour project. This project has the potential to greatly expand the known high-grade VMS mineralization zones throughout the project, and we are eager to witness the results of our efforts.“

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – March 21, 2023) – York Harbour Metals Inc. (TSXV: YORK) (FSE: 5DE0) (the “Company” or “York”) is pleased to announce that the Company has begun mobilization to initiate helicopter-supported diamond drilling at the Pinnacle Lake Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (“VMS”) target on its York Harbour Copper-Zinc project in Newfoundland, Canada.

The Phase 5 Diamond Drilling campaign commenced at the A Zone North Target and then proceeded to the K Zone area. To date, nine drill holes, totalling 1,764 m, have been completed in the latest drilling campaign. The Pinnacle Lake and No. 4 Brook targets both lack historic drill-testing but possess significant upside potential to find new copper-zinc-silver mineralization that could substantially increase the footprint of high-grade VMS mineralization within the property.

The Company has engaged a highly experienced drilling contractor and assembled a skilled technical team to oversee the drilling campaign. The use of helicopter-supported drilling will enable York Harbour Metals to access remote and difficult-to-reach areas, increasing the chances of discovering new mineralized zones. The Company’s decision to explore outside the main mine area showcases its commitment to identifying and assessing the full potential of the property.

In addition to the drilling campaign, York Harbour Metals has also invested in advanced geophysical and geochemical techniques to enhance the precision of its exploration activities. These innovative methods, combined with the expertise of the Company’s technical team, will help to guide future exploration and development work on the property. As York Harbour Metals continues to expand its exploration efforts, the Company remains dedicated to creating long-term value for its shareholders and stakeholders through the responsible development of Newfoundland’s mineral resources.
