VANCOUVER, BC, June 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Thesis Gold Inc. ("Thesis" or the "Company") (TSXV: TAU) (WKN: A3EP87) (OTCQX: THSGF) is pleased to announce the mobilization of crews for the 2025 exploration season at its 100%-owned Lawyers-Ranch Project, located in British Columbia's prolific Toodoggone Mining District. The Company is advancing work toward a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS), targeted for release in Q4-2025. This season's program will lay critical groundwork for future engineering studies, with geological efforts focused on defining the project's broader potential. Concurrently, engineering and environmental initiatives will continue to de-risk the project ahead of the Environmental Assessment (EA) process, anticipated to begin in the second half of 2025. 2025 Program Highlights
Dr. Ewan Webster, President and CEO, commented, "We are excited to launch the 2025 exploration season at our Lawyers-Ranch Project. Building on the momentum of previous years, this season's comprehensive geological, engineering, and environmental programs are focused on continued project de-risking and value creation. With over 15,000 metres of drilling planned, our objectives are to expand known resources, test high-priority new epithermal and porphyry targets, and support long-term development. Concurrent engineering and environmental baseline work will continue to underpin future technical studies and advance the environmental assessment process. These efforts reflect our commitment to efficiently advancing the Lawyers-Ranch Project as a premier precious metals asset." The Lawyers-Ranch project offers significant exploration potential, with over 20 undrilled gold showings and numerous areas identified with promising geological, geochemical, and geophysical anomalies. This year, the Company plans to focus on anomalies within the Ranch project area that show promise for future discoveries (Figure 1). Throughout the winter, the technical team has been leveraging a robust geochemical and geophysical dataset to highlight a prospective corridor between Ring, Steve, Mandusa, and Golden Furlong at the Ranch area. The exploration potential in this region is twofold, as Thesis aims to leverage the opportunity for additional discoveries of shallow epithermal-style mineralization that have the potential to further unlock clues about the porphyry potential below the Ranch lithocap, with some deeper holes testing favorable structures and intersecting anomalies (Figure 2). Dr. Evan Orovan, Chief Geologist, commented, "I am excited to get to the Lawyers-Ranch Project this summer to contextualize this winter's desktop work with some boots-on-the-ground geology. Drawing from my global experience in porphyry-epithermal systems, I expect to learn a lot from this summer's exploration program and our new targets at Ranch." To date, Thesis has made significant progress in de-risking the Lawyers-Ranch Project. The upcoming PFS, targeted for release in Q4 2025, builds on the strong results of the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) announced on September 5, 2024, which outlined an after-tax NPV5% of C$1.28 billion, a 35.2% IRR, and a 2.0-year payback period. Part of this summer's objective is to initiate key data collection to support a Feasibility-level engineering study, planned to commence immediately following the completion of the PFS. Environmental baseline studies are critical to understanding site-specific conditions prior to project development. These studies require a minimum of two years of data collection covering air, water, soil, and biological resources. Once complete, ongoing monitoring ensures that the established baseline can inform accurate environmental modeling and support the EA process expected to kick off in H2 2025. This summer, biologists will complete the final months of baseline data collection at Ranch and continue monitoring efforts at both Ranch and Lawyers.
