Cascadia Minerals Ltd. announced plans for the upcoming exploration season at its wholly owned Carmacks copper-gold project in central Yukon. 15,000 m of diamond drilling will be completed at the Carmacks Project, the largest diamond drill program on the property since 2007; Drilling will continue testing expansion of sulphide mineralization at the Carmacks Deposit, including step-outs on key 2025 intersections: Zone 147 - CD-25-033 returned 83.52 m of 0.89% copper with 0.26 g/t gold, including 26.33 m of 1.53% copper with 0.35 g/t gold; Zone 2000S - CD-25-040 returned 87.44 m of 0.63% copper with 0.15 g/t gold, including 21.27 m of 1.25% copper with 0.28 g/t gold; and Zone 1213 - CD-25-035 returned 60.12 m of 0.84% copper with 0.16 g/t gold, including 25.20 m of 1.36 % copper with 0.25 g/t gold. Three targets located within 1 km of the Carmacks Deposit will be drill tested: Zone 14 - 2007 drilling returned 16.37 m of 1.04% copper in a parallel zone of mineralization 400 metres east of the main deposit that has not seen follow-up; Gap Zone - 2024 drilling returned 29.75 m of 0.50% copper in an area which has the potential to link the 147 and 2000S Zones and has seen limited drilling; and Sourtoe target - Strong chargeability and magnetic target indicative of a parallel zone of mineralization west of the main deposit that has yet to be drill tested.

Drilling at Zone A, 11 km north of the Carmacks Deposit, where drilling in 1980 returned 22.86 m of 2.27% copper with 2.20 g/t gold from 56.21 m; and Additional IP and magnetic geophysical surveys to identify further targets both near-deposit and regionally across the 180 km2 property. Approximately 10,000 m of drilling will focus on continued resource expansion at theCarmacks Deposit. Much of the historic drilling at the deposit focused solely on oxide mineralization, leaving significant opportunities for expansion of sulphide mineralization, which has a more favourable recovery profile.

The contacts with the intrusive phases of the granite mountain batholith are sharp and unaltered. The geology and deposit model are thought to be similar to the nearby Minto Deposit, with past work suggesting that the system is the result of an alkalic porphyry deposit that was metamorphosed up to the point of partial melting at depths of up to 25km, followed by rapid uplift to near surface. The Carmacks Deposit has a Measured and Indicated Resource containing 651 Mlbs of copper and 302 koz of gold (36.3 million tonnes grading 0.81% copper, 0.26 g/tgold, 3.23 g/t silver and 0.01% molybdenum) or 1.07% copper equivalent, and an Inferred Resource containing 38 Mlbs of copper and 13 koz of gold (2.9 Mt grading 0.60% copper, 0.60% copper,0.16 g/tgold, 2.34% copper, 2.34% copper with 0.25 g-t gold, including 1.36% copper with 0.25g/t gold.
