Hi-View Resources Initiates Extensive 2026 Exploration Campaign in British Columbia's Toodoggone Mining District

2026 Exploration Program Scope and Targeting Strategy

On July 16, 2026, Hi-View Resources announced the start of its 2026 exploration program, deploying activities across multiple target zones on its Toodoggone property. The company employs a comprehensive approach combining geophysical surveys, detailed geological fieldwork, and extensive geochemical sampling to enhance understanding of mineralization potential within the district.

CEO R. Nick Horsley emphasized the focus on "final target vectoring of porphyry targets concentrating on the most advanced areas." The data collection from priority targets is intended to progress toward a drilling campaign after analytical results are finalized. This phased methodology ensures a disciplined narrowing of exploration zones before committing to capital-intensive drilling.

Induced Polarization Survey and Geophysical Integration

The program includes 50 line kilometres of induced polarization (IP) surveying over anomalies identified in 2025 airborne magnetic surveys. IP efforts will also target coincident surface geochemical anomalies, integrating multiple datasets to pinpoint the most promising exploration zones. This strategy aims to enhance targeting precision and mitigate exploration risks.

Induced polarization detects subsurface electrical properties indicative of mineralization. By overlaying IP data with magnetic and geochemical results, Hi-View seeks to refine subsurface geological models and prioritize subsequent exploration efforts. This multi-data approach aligns with industry best practices in early-stage mineral exploration.

Geological Mapping and Mineralization Analysis

Geological mapping and prospecting will cover 50 square kilometres, focusing on structural features, alteration, veining, and mineralization patterns. The goal is to vector toward porphyry- and epithermal-style mineralization, commonly associated with gold, silver, and copper deposits in the Toodoggone region.

Fieldwork will validate historical mapping and samples while investigating previously underexplored targets. Hi-View plans to incorporate advanced analytical techniques such as hyperspectral analysis, petrography, and whole-rock geochemistry, enhancing geological models and target characterization.

Extensive Soil Sampling with Ultratrace Multielement Testing

Approximately 4,000 soil samples will be collected across over 100 square kilometres, including areas in the southern property and the Black Pearl northern claims. Sampling prioritizes zones with limited rock exposure and where legacy soil data were sparse.

All samples will be analyzed using an ultratrace multielement package designed to detect low-level pathfinder elements like tellurium and selenium, often associated with porphyry-epithermal systems but missed by standard detection limits. This approach aims to identify subtle geochemical signatures indicative of mineralization at depth or beneath limited surface exposure.

Multi-Target Field Activities Across the Portfolio

Exploration activities will be conducted at multiple targets including Lawyer's East, Borealis, Black Pearl, Golden Stranger, Saunders, and Nub, with IP surveying, soil sampling, prospecting, and geological mapping tailored to each area's priority and geology. Northern properties will emphasize mapping and prospecting. Additional targets include Harmon Peak, Ursus, Junker, Garnet, and Oxide Summit.

This diversified approach enables systematic evaluation across the portfolio while concentrating more intensive efforts on advanced targets, balancing reconnaissance and focused exploration.

Drill Permits Secured for Key Targets

Drill permits have been approved for Lawyer's East, Borealis, and Golden Stranger, allowing Hi-View to proceed with drilling once exploration data supports such action. Having permits in place reduces potential delays and positions the company to efficiently advance exploration phases.

Despite permit approval, the company emphasizes finalizing target selection through the 2026 program before committing to drilling, reflecting a disciplined capital allocation strategy.

Extensive Property Holdings in Toodoggone District

Hi-View Resources controls over 27,910 hectares in the Toodoggone region through 100% owned and optioned projects, including flagship assets Golden Stranger, Lawyers claims, and Borealis, all designated high-priority. Additional optioned properties include Saunders, Black Pearl, Oxide Summit, Nub, Ursus, Garnet, and Harmon Peak, plus 1,300 hectares under mineral claim application.

This broad land package offers significant exploration potential within a historically prolific mining district known for gold, silver, and copper mineralization. The diversified portfolio mitigates exploration risk and supports multiple discovery pathways.

Qualified Person Review and Compliance

The technical elements of this announcement were reviewed and approved by Nader Mostaghimi, P.Geo., VP Exploration for Hi-View Resources and a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101). This ensures compliance with Canadian securities standards and validates the geological expertise behind the disclosures.

Qualified Person oversight provides investor confidence that exploration methodologies and data are credible and adhere to accepted geological practices.

Regional Exploration Context and Industry Interest

The Toodoggone Mining District remains a highly prospective exploration region in northern British Columbia, attracting multiple companies. Hi-View’s comprehensive 2026 program underscores ongoing industry interest and the company’s commitment to methodical asset evaluation.

The scale of the program—with 50 line kilometres of geophysical surveying, 50 square kilometres of mapping, and 4,000 soil samples—reflects substantial investment and adequate financing to execute a robust exploration campaign.
