VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Aug. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HI-VIEW RESOURCES INC. (“Hi-View” or the “Company”) (CSE: GXLD; OTC: GXLDF; FSE: B630) announces preliminary 2026 field results from the Borealis Project in the Toodoggone Mining District of north-central British Columbia. Hi-View has now completed 14 line-kilometres of induced polarization ("IP") survey over the historical Cas showing at the Borealis Project. The 2026 survey identified five chargeability anomalies, each representing a potential mineralized target for future drilling. The 2026 geological mapping and rock sampling over these areas have identified zoned alteration and localized copper mineralization suggesting a large-scale hydrothermal system. The Cas showing is located approximately 10 kilometres northwest from Centerra Gold's past-producing Kemess copper-gold mine. The Company will now be conducting three additional lines of IP survey to further define the targets. Rock and soil samples mentioned in this news release from the 2026 Borealis surface program have been submitted to ALS Geochemistry Ltd. (“ALS”) in North Vancouver, BC — an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory — for sample preparation and geochemical analysis. The samples were sealed in the field, stored securely, and transported by personnel of Apex Geoscience Ltd. of Edmonton, Alberta, to maintain chain of custody.

R. Nick Horsley, Chief Executive Officer of Hi-View, commented: “These new findings further confirm our hypothesis that Borealis contains a large hydrothermal system of the same style that created the porphyry complexes at Centerra’s Kemess and Amarc’s Joy projects. In the first few weeks of our field season, we have advanced from two historical IP targets to five distinct chargeability and resistivity anomalies. The program has reproduced historical signatures and provided new depth extensions, a previously unknown anomaly with copper mineralization at surface, and consistent porphyry-style alteration, giving us high confidence that the Borealis Project has potential for a significant discovery. With assays and hyperspectral analysis pending, new Mobile MT results imminent, and continued IP survey planned, these final datasets will enable further delineation of drill targets at Borealis.”

Highlights

Five distinct strong-to-intense chargeability anomalies are preliminarily identified at Cas, up from two identified by Placer Dome’s historical work (1992), each representing a separate potential drill target.

The 2026 IP survey reproduced the two main chargeability zones first outlined by the 1992 IP survey (Line 6000E).

2026 IP survey depth has extended sub-surface data from approximately 200 metres to 400 metres deep, defining a new high chargeability target at depth.

Refined 2026 data show that the historical southern anomaly is in fact three separate chargeability anomalies, one of which remains open at depth (Line 1800N).

A new, previously unidentified high-chargeability zone has been outlined southwest of Cas, coincident with copper mineralization mapped at surface (Line 1400N).

A strong-to-intense chargeability anomaly on Line 2600N is associated with mapped crystal lithic tuff showing quartz-clay-pyrite (herein interpreted as "QSP") alteration and disseminated pyrite, also coincident with low resistivity.

Background

A 1984 drill campaign in the area included a diamond drill hole (DDH84-7; Figure 1) that reached a final depth of 43.2 m and did not intersect its intended target of a mineralized and altered N-trending fault west of the drill hole collar.

Historical IP surveying completed in 1992 produced two shallow, strong, high-chargeability zones at Cas, associated with pyritic clay alteration along the margin of a monzonitic intrusive body. The mapped intrusion produced a high-resistivity response typical of disseminated sulphide mineralization associated with copper porphyry systems.

Line 1400N: Refined modelling shows the southern of the two historical anomalies is in fact three separate chargeability anomalies, two of which are shown in the line sections in Figure 3. In addition, a new anomalous high-chargeability zone, coincident with a high-resistivity response, has been identified southwest of the southern historical anomaly. Copper mineralization was mapped at surface along this line (Figure 4), including:

Sample A1: A northeast-trending, 15-centimetre-wide granular to saw-tooth quartz vein hosting a malachite, chalcopyrite, and pyrite mineralization, hosted in crystal lithic tuff with weak sugary silica alteration, and locally cut by north-trending, thin, sheeted quartz-chlorite-epidote-sulphide veinlets. Interpreted to be associated with Target 4.

Sample B1: Left image: Historical BQ drill core (DDH84-7) found littered on the ground, intersected strongly magnetic granodiorite and feldspar porphyry with pyrite-chalcopyrite-hematite veinlets with alteration halos ranging from millimetre-scale up to 0.5 centimetres in width. X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) readings yielded 525 ppm Mo and 133 ppm Zn. Right image: Black banded chalcedonic veins cut a gossanous zone with variable QSP alteration near the DDH84-7 drill site (Target 2).

Line 1800N: A strong to intense chargeability anomaly is coincident with the historical Cas 3-9 mineral showing (Target 5; Figure 5). Another deeper and strong chargeability anomaly (Target 3) extends from approximately 200 to 400 metres depth and remains open at depth. Surface rock samples (Figure 6) in this area returned:

Sample A2: An estimated 15% and 1% disseminated pyrite and chalcopyrite, respectively. Mineralization is hosted in an incohesive volcanic unit with fragments up to 5 cm in size and is interpreted to be associated with an intense chargeability anomaly (Target 5).

Sample B2: Magnetic quartz monzonite is interpreted to be associated with an intense and large magnetic body, and an intense resistivity anomaly.

Line 2600N: Several geological stations along this line report disseminated pyrite, both fine- and coarse-grained associated with mapped crystal lithic tuff displaying QSP alteration of variable, weak-to-moderate intensity (Figure 8). These observations are interpreted to represent the distal phyllic alteration to a porphyry system and are coincident with strong-to-intense chargeability anomalies that extend up to a collective length of 1 km (Target 1; Figure 7) and with a ring-shaped magnetic anomaly of similar size (see Figure 1).

Additionally, the Company has retained Expert Geophysics Surveys Inc. to conduct a Mobile MT (Magnetotellurics) Survey consisting of 1,042 line-kilometres. This geophysical technology is utilized to detect deep electrical conductivity and resistivity signatures of copper-gold porphyry systems. It maps subsurface structures, fault conduits, and alteration zones down to depths up to 2 km. The survey was completed this week and results and interpretation are pending.
