Purecore Metals Completes Phase One Exploration at Bankier Minerals Project

Purecore Metals Inc. (CSE: PURE) (FSE: J8Y) announced the completion of the first phase of exploration at its Bankier critical minerals project in British Columbia. The 2026 field program, conducted by HEG & Associates, involved boots-on-the-ground geological mapping, assessment of mineralization, and analysis of structural controls.

The company holds a 100% interest in the Bankier project, an early-stage exploration venture. The area has previously shown potential for copper, molybdenum, gold, zinc, silver, lead, and uranium. Phase one included property-wide reconnaissance and verification of historical mineral occurrences.

Exploration identified new zones of alteration outside of known showings, which Purecore considers promising for future targeting. The discovery of a previously undocumented gossanous outcrop has also been added to the project's geological inventory.

Purecore has also entered into digital marketing and investor relations service agreements to enhance visibility. The recently completed surveys lay the groundwork for future, more detailed exploration efforts at Bankier.
