Stewart, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 12, 2026) - Decade Resources Ltd (TSXV: DEC) ("Decade" or the Company) is providing results of its exploration program on the Nobody Knows portion of the Company's Copper River (Terrace) properties. The Copper River project consists of 59 contiguous minerals claims totaling 28,723.18 hectares formed by the Treasure Mountain, Dardanelle, Nobody Knows (6,870.79 ha) and Excelsior claims. It is underlain by a complex boundary zone between two prominent tectonic assemblages: the volcanic island-arc assemblage of the Stikinia Terrane in the east and the intrusive rocks of the Coast Plutonic Complex (Cretaceous-Tertiary?) to the west.
Sampling in the 2024 field season led to the discovery of the high-grade gold-silver-base metal bearing boulders associated with high arsenic, bismuth and cobalt values along a logging road in the SE portion of the claim (1060251). These boulders ranged from pebble size to pieces up to 0.6 m in size located in 2 main areas 200m apart along spur logging roads. Visible gold was noted in several cut rock samples of this mineralization. The Company conducted geochemical surveys in 2025 in order to locate the source.
E. Kruchkowski, P. Geo. President of the Company states: "Continued exploration in 2025 indicates that the gold-silver-base metal rich rocks are composed of sulphides, quartz and muscovite. Thin section studies indicate that the boulders are quartz-muscovite with arsenopyrite, pyrite and sphalerite with lesser chalcopyrite and minor galena. In the examined samples no low or high temperature minerals were detected indicating the alteration/mineralization observed in these samples can be classified as mesothermal. Based on the analysis to date the discovered boulders are interpreted to be similar to an intrusive related gold deposit mineral type which are known to have enhanced bismuth and cobalt. These types of deposit are characterized by their association with felsic igneous rocks which are present on the property. The presence of these elements in these types of deposits indicates a significant mineralization process that has enhanced value and potential. The Company is excited about locating an area that appears to contain the source of these boulders."
The following claim map shows the location of the boulders relative to the claim holdings as well as the location of a highly anomalous silt sample from the 2025 field program.

During the 2025 exploration program, a total of 422 soil, 35 silt and 125 rock samples were collected. The silt sampling was successful in indicating anomalous values for the metals that were found in the boulders. Sample TS-13 shown on the above map as a red square had the highest arsenic value (132 ppm) in the soil and silt sampling. It was 10 times higher than other samples for arsenic, 8 times higher in copper (409.8 ppm), 10 times higher in cobalt (50.6 ppm), 8 times higher in silver (0.82 ppm), 2 times higher in gold (56 ppb), 10 times higher in tellurium (0.35 ppm) and 2 times higher in lead (12.7 ppm) and zinc (104 ppm). This sample is 200 m NW of the boulder site in a creek just below a logging road that has a rock quarry on it. The values for the soil sample sites are being plotted to aid in further pin pointing the source of these rocks.
2026 Exploration Plans
The Company plans to further define the source area for the high-grade gold-silver-base metal rich boulders. In addition, sampling will include:
- Close space silt sampling in the area of TS-13.
- VLF EM over any indicated anomalous soil and silt sample areas.
- Drilling the source area once located.
The Company has a drill permit in place on the project.
