(TSXV: BIG) (OTCQB: BADEF) (FSE: C0X) ("Hercules" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the appointment of Dillon Hume as Vice President, Exploration, effective May 1, 2025. Dillon has more than a decade of experience leading large exploration and resource definition drill programs. Notably, at the Red Chris Cu-Au porphyry mine in British Columbia, he oversaw over 120,000 meters of drilling across eight drill rigs, playing a pivotal role in the discovery of the East Ridge Zone and delineation of the East Zone.

Chris Paul, CEO and Director of the Company, commented, "We are pleased to welcome Dillon as the new Vice President of Exploration. Dillon joined Hercules in a consulting capacity earlier this year. Having known him for over a decade and worked with him on past projects, I was already familiar with his professionalism, technical expertise, and strong work ethic. Over the past few months, working alongside him during our 3D modeling review has been instrumental in refining our geological understanding and shaping our exploration strategy. With a proven track record of designing and executing advanced-stage drill programs, and a disciplined, capital-efficient approach, Dillon has us well-prepared as a team to drive results as we launch our most important drill program to date."

Dillon spent over eight years with Equity Exploration ("Equity"), a geological firm that has supported more than 400 exploration projects and drilled over 1.4 million meters globally. While with Equity, Dillon was instrumental in advancing Red Chris's underground block-cave resource and pre-feasibility study of the East Zone for Newcrest Mining. Dillon also made significant contributions at the Kudz Ze Kayah VHMS deposit in the Yukon Territory, including the discovery of the Krakatoa Zone and its subsequent feasibility study.

Most recently, Dillon served as Vice President, Exploration at Trailbreaker Resources, where he oversaw early-stage exploration initiatives across several porphyry copper and gold projects throughout British Columbia.

Dillon holds a B.Sc. in Geology and M.Sc. in Economic Geology from Simon Fraser University. His M.Sc. thesis examined the structural and mineralogical controls of gold mineralization at the Tajitos orogenic gold deposit in Sonora, Mexico. He is a registered professional geoscientist (P.Geo.) in British Columbia.

Natural resources investments are generally volatile, with higher headline risk than other sectors. They tend to be more sensitive to economic data, political and regulatory events, and underlying commodity prices. The prices of natural resources investments are influenced by factors such as the costs of underlying commodities like oil, gas, metals, and coal. These investments may trade on various exchanges and experience price fluctuations due to short-term demand, supply, and investment flows.

Natural resource investments often respond more sensitively to global events and economic data, including natural disasters, political turmoil, pandemics, or the release of employment data.

Investing in foreign markets may carry greater risks than domestic markets, including political, currency, economic, and market risks. It is essential to evaluate if trading in low-priced and international securities is appropriate for your circumstances and financial resources. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Mine$tockers Inc., its affiliates, family, friends, employees, associates, and others may hold positions in the securities it covers. Some of the companies covered may be paying clients of the production.

No investment process is risk-free, and profitability is not guaranteed; investors may lose their entire investment. No investment strategy or risk management technique can guarantee returns or eliminate risk in any market environment. Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against loss. Investing in foreign securities involves risks not associated with domestic investments, such as currency fluctuations, political and economic instability, and differing accounting standards, potentially leading to greater share price volatility. The prices of small- and mid-cap company stocks generally experience higher volatility than large-company stocks and may involve higher risks. Smaller companies may lack the management expertise, financial resources, product diversification, and competitive strengths needed to withstand adverse economic conditions.
