VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A.I.S. Resources Limited (TSXV: AIS, OTC-Pink: AISSF, FRA: 5YH) (“A.I.S.” or the “Company) is pleased to announce that it has formally engaged local drilling contractor ICor Drilling Services of Penobsquis, New Brunswick, for a planned Phase 1 diamond drilling program on the Company’s New Brunswick exploration properties.

Article content

The planned Phase 1 program is expected to comprise approximately 2,000 metres of diamond drilling, designed to test priority exploration targets identified by the Company through its geological compilation, airborne geophysical surveys, field evaluation, and exploration targeting work. The Company’s exploration team is currently in the field marking proposed drill collar locations, coordinating contractor mobilization and logistics, and advancing applicable drill permit applications.

“Engaging ICor Drilling Services marks an important milestone for A.I.S. as we transition from target generation into drill testing across our New Brunswick portfolio,” said Marc Enright-Morin, CEO of A.I.S. “Our technical team has completed extensive compilation, geophysical interpretation and field evaluation to prioritize targets for this initial program. We believe this campaign will provide important geological information to guide future exploration and help unlock the broader potential of these early-stage projects.”

The Company cautions that the New Brunswick projects are at an early stage of exploration. No mineral resource has been defined on the projects, and there has been insufficient work completed by A.I.S. to verify the scale, continuity, grade, or economic significance of the reported historical mineralization or exploration targets.

Geological Setting and History:
Southern New Brunswick is a prospective mineral exploration jurisdiction with a long history of mineral occurrences and past-producing deposits associated with Appalachian volcanic, sedimentary, intrusive and structurally controlled geological settings. The region hosts geological environments considered favourable for copper, gold, silver, zinc, antimony, cobalt, nickel and other critical minerals. Mineralization in the region may be associated with fault zones, volcanic and sedimentary contacts, intrusive-related systems, skarn-style alteration, and structurally controlled vein and breccia systems.

A.I.S. considers its New Brunswick property portfolio provides an opportunity to evaluate multiple early-stage mineralized trends using modern exploration methods, including geological mapping, geochemistry, airborne and ground geophysics, and targeted drilling. The Company’s current work is designed to test exploration concepts and priority targets; additional work is required before any conclusions can be made regarding continuity, grade, scale or economic potential.
