Metal Energy Announces Upcoming Drill Program at Highland Valley Copper Project

Metal Energy Corp. is initiating a fall exploration program at its 100%-owned Highland Valley Copper Project, with drilling scheduled to begin in early November 2026. The program consists of at least 2,000 metres of diamond drilling targeting two open copper zones, Zone 1 and Zone 2, which have shown strong historical intercepts. In addition to the drilling, the company plans to conduct an induced polarization (IP) survey to identify potential extensions of these zones. The project is strategically located adjacent to Canada's largest copper mine and is fully funded by the company's existing treasury. This marks the first drilling activity at the site since 2020.
