BTU METALS CORP. announced an update on exploration efforts at its' 100% held Echum and Hubcap Projects. The projects comprise an extensive gold exploration project adjacent to Alamos Gold Inc. ("Alamos") and also adjacent to Red Pine Exploration ("Red Pine") in the active Wawa gold area of northern Ontario.

Wawa Projects ExploraOon Highlights - Fall & Winter Programs. Echum Project: Completed six lines of Induced Polarizaon (IP) geophysical surveying in Fourth Quarter 2024 over previously outlined airborne geophysical features of interest in the central part of the Echum project. Winter diamond drilling commenced in late 2024 at the Echum Project, targets outlined in 2023 and 2024 IP surveys. Drilling was inally commenced in late 2024 and was then restarted in early February a break.

5 separate targets were outlined from interpretaon of geophysical surveys and geological data, 4 have been drilled and hole 5 is underway. Core is being logged and will be sent for assay at the compleon of the drill program. Hubcap surface sampling encountered anomalous gold results up to 6 g/t Au near the boundary with Red Pine.

Additional assay results are pending from samples located along trend of War Eagle in the Hubcap project boundary area. The high-grade War Eagle results were reported from an area approximately 700m from the Hubcap boundary. IP grid survey lines established in late 2024 are to be surveyed at both Hubcap and Centennial ProperOes in spring 2025.

Sample Preparation & Analysis: All surface samples collected are recorded with GPS locations, described, and placed in sample bags secured with zip ties with unique sample IDs. The samples were delivered to AGAT Laboratories facility in Sudbury, Ontario, and were prepared and analyzed in Thunder Bay, Ontario and Calgary, Alberta. A description of the sample preparation and analysis methods are listed: Samples were crushed to 75% passing 2mm, split to 250g.

Samples were pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns. Gold analysis was carried out by 50g fire assay with atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) finish (AGAT method code 202-551). All samples were also analyzed using the metal package by 4-acid digest, with an ICP-OES finish (Inductively Coupled Plasma - Optical Emission Spectroscopy), AGAT method code 201-070.

A minimum of two BTU personnel were included in the assay certificate distribution emails.
