American Marconi Wireless News - Aeonian Receives Drill Permits for Koocanusa Project, Paving the Way for First Pass Testing of Sedimentary Copper Targets

• Two, three-year permits were granted which cover the Yahk and Gilnockie target areas located on the western side of the Koocanusa Project.

• Multiple sedimentary-hosted copper target areas are now conditionally approved for drill testing, including Yahk West, Yahk East, Jake, and the Gilnockie zones.

• Reclamation bonds totalling $35,000 have now been paid in full; pre-disturbance requirements are underway which includes the required archaeological assessments and wildlife planning.

Both permits, which are valid until July 7, 2028, cover two distinct areas on the western side of the Koocanusa Project:

• The Yahk permit, which includes the Yahk West, Yahk East, and Jake targets, as well as several additional prospective zones.

• The Gilnockie permit, which covers the broader suite of Gilnockie sediment-hosted copper targets located in the southern region of the Property.

"These permits are significant as they open the door to first pass drilling exploration on some of the most promising copper targets we've developed to date," said Andy Randell, CEO of Aeonian. "This is the result of several years of dedicated geological work and relationship building efforts with the Ktunaxa Nation and Shuswap Band. We are very pleased to now be able to move towards testing of these systems."

As part of the permit conditions and Aeonian's commitment to responsible exploration, the Company is actively working to fulfill the following pre-disturbance requirements:

• Completion of archaeological assessments by a qualified professional.

• Mandatory training for all site personnel in the Ktunaxa Nation Council's Chance Find Procedure.

• Submission of a Wildlife Management Plan for approval.

These conditions are currently being addressed and actively pursued. Aeonian expects to provide an update on timelines and will share a timeline and next steps soon. The Company has posted the required individual reclamation bonds totaling $35,000, paid in full to the Ministry of Mining and Critical Minerals.

The Koocanusa Project is focused on targeting sediment-hosted copper mineralization within the Proterozoic Belt-Purcell Basin, a geological setting known for hosting world-class deposits. The Yahk and Gilnockie areas have shown encouraging geochemical and structural signatures, and the Company is excited to begin drill testing these underexplored targets.
