Doubleview Extends High-Grade Domains at Hat: H099 Returns 438m of 0.40% CuEq Including 52m of 1.02% CuEq, Expanding Mineralization Envelope Around Conceptual Pit Vertically and Laterally

Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) (“Doubleview” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce assay results from drill holes H097, H098, and H099 from its 2025 drill program at the Hat Polymetallic Deposit in northwestern British Columbia. Drill holes H097, H098 and H099 were collared from the same platform as drill holes H093-H096 and were drilled into previously untested potential extensions of the deposit and have successfully expanded the mineralized footprint approximately 100m laterally and 200 meters vertically and strengthened confidence in continuity in part of the Lisle Zone.

Highlights

  • H099 returned 438.0 metres of 0.40% CuEq, including 52.0 metres of 1.02% CuEq, representing one of the strongest continuous mineralized intervals drilled at the Hat deposit to date.
  • H097 and H098 confirm mineralization in previously undrilled sections and extend data approximately 200-300 metres down-dip and up to 100 metres laterally and fill important gaps in the geological exploration model. Drill holes H097, H098 and H099 when integrated into the database potentially will extend the 2024 conceptual open-pit shell by ~200 metres down-dip and up to 100 metres laterally, and demonstrate strong expansion potential that may be realized in the revised version of the 2024 Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE-2) and the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA).
  • Drill hole analyses reported in this News Release show continuity of copper-gold-cobalt-scandium domains [scandium is an emerging critical metal and an important component of the Hat deposit], across broad intervals of the system.
  • These drill holes support the Company’s objective to complete an up-dated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE-2) and a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) and improve confidence in the exploration model all of which will be incorporated in the current and future engineering studies *Copper Equivalent (CuEq) values exclude scandium (Sc2O3).*

These long intercepts continue to demonstrate and explore the dimensions of the horizontal and vertical porphyry-style Hat deposit mineralization enriched in copper, gold, cobalt, silver, and scandium.

Geological Interpretation

Step-Out Drilling Adds Increased Volumes

H097-H099 were planned to intersect previously undrilled areas between and beneath the trace of previously released drill holes (H093-H096). Although collared from the same surface location, the drill holes highlighted in this News Release extended the dimensions of the deposit 200-300 metres at depth and up to 100 metres laterally, successfully fulfilling the objective of characterizing untested volumes of the deposit.

Expansion of Conceptual Pit Potential

The strong continuity and grade distribution observed in drill hole H099, together with similar results from H097 and H098, extend the interpreted geometry of the mineralized body and potentially allow major extensions of the conceptual pit by approximately 200 metres vertically and ~100 metres laterally. Note: the current exploration model and conceptual pit design are based on available information and may not be supported by future drilling and engineering studies.

Continuity & Resource Confidence

The drill holes included in this News Release were planned to improve the interpretation of deposit geology and strengthen the block model used for resource estimates. The results confirm both lateral and vertical continuity of the system and will contribute to higher confidence resource categories as the model is updated.

High-Grade Domains and Depth Potential

Drill hole H099 is particularly important as it highlights a strongly mineralized area of copper, et al. metals, including more than 50 metres exceeding 1.0% CuEq, and demonstrates that high-grade zones continue to depth. The extent of such high-grade zones has not been determined.

Critical Metals: Scandium & Cobalt

While scandium (Sc2O3) is not included in CuEq calculations, scandium grades remain consistent with prior drill campaigns and continue to frame the Hat Deposit as a potentially significant North American source of critical metals.

CEO Comments

Farshad Shirvani, President and CEO, commented:
“These new step-out holes continue to validate and strengthen our geological model of the Hat Deposit. H099, in particular, delivered exceptional continuity with long and high-grade sections, confirming that the Lisle Zone remains robust at depth. The drilling extended mineralization into untested areas and demonstrated expansion potential for the conceptual pit by approximately 200 metres down-dip and 100 metres laterally.

These results reaffirm our confidence in the Hat model, highlight the presence of high-grade domains, and demonstrate meaningful depth potential. Importantly, the new holes help us improve resource confidence and will be incorporated into the upcoming resource estimation work. We are very encouraged by the consistent scandium and cobalt values across the system, strengthening Hat’s profile as a strategic critical-metals project in British Columbia. Our team is already planning follow-up drilling into several newly opened areas.”

Other notes:

Details of the algorithm used to estimate %CuEq are presented in the notes above. The metal values used in our current algorithm are average trailing three years commodity prices, and do not reflect recent dramatic increases in prices of mineral commodities. Scandium recovery has been announced in the news release dated 25th of November 2025 with an overall pre-optimized 82%.

Core samples are delivered securely to a fully accredited commercial laboratory and processed by industry-standard methods and include insertion of standard samples, duplicate core samples and blank samples to ensure confidence.  Assays are received from the analytical laboratory at irregular intervals, verified by reference to notes provided by our field crew, added to our database, and disseminated publicly by News Release.   

“The scandium resource potential is based on the drill holes on the property drilled for (July 25, 2024) maiden resource estimate for other metal content than scandium. The potential quantity and grade are conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.

Doubleview Provides Cobalt Resource Summary for the Hat Polymetallic Deposit in Advance of Updated MRE and PEA

Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: A1W038) (FSE: 1D4) (“Doubleview” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide a summary of the cobalt component of its Hat Polymetallic Deposit in northwestern British Columbia, in advance of the upcoming updated Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) and Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”). Based on the Company’s review of publicly available information, the Hat Deposit may contain one of the largest undeveloped cobalt inventories associated with a Canadian mineral deposit.

The Hat Deposit Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate, released July 25, 2024, outlined a large alkalic porphyry type copper-gold-cobalt-scandium resource, within which cobalt occurs as a by-product metal uniformly associated with copper and pyrite mineralization. The cobalt component of the resource is summarized as follows:

  • Indicated: 150 million tonnes containing 28 million pounds (approximately 12,700 tonnes) of cobalt at 0.008% Co
  • Inferred: 477 million tonnes containing 91 million pounds (approximately 41,300 tonnes) of cobalt at 0.009% Co

The Hat Deposit contains one of the more significant undeveloped cobalt-containing mineral resources in Canada. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Cobalt is consistently distributed throughout the alkalic porphyry system alongside copper, gold, silver, and scandium. Metallurgical testwork to date indicates that cobalt is efficiently liberated into a clean pyrite concentrate suitable for conventional downstream processing. Additional metallurgical work is ongoing.

Farshad Shirvani, President & CEO, commented: “Copper, gold, and scandium remain the primary value drivers at the Hat Deposit, but the cobalt content represents a meaningful additional component of the project’s critical-minerals profile. As demand for secure and responsibly sourced battery metals continues to rise, the Hat Deposit’s location in a Tier-1 jurisdiction and its unusually large cobalt endowment strengthen the project’s long-term relevance. As we complete the updated MRE and advance our PEA, cobalt will be one of several important contributors evaluated in the broader economic framework.”

Why Cobalt from Hat Matters

Cobalt is designated a critical mineral by Canada, the United States, the European Union, Australia, Japan, and the United Kingdom. It is essential for:

  • High-performance lithium-ion batteries
  • Superalloys used in aerospace and defense
  • Clean-energy technologies including wind, fuel cells, and emerging grid-storage systems

More than 70% of refined cobalt is processed in China, and most mine supply originates from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Western governments and industry groups are seeking secure, ethical, and transparent supply chains. Canada currently produces only minor by-product cobalt amounts. The Hat Deposit has the scale, continuity, and jurisdictional advantages to potentially contribute to future domestic supply should the project advance through the necessary evaluation and development stages.

Qualified Person

Erik Ostensoe, P.Geo., a consulting geologist and Doubleview’s Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical disclosure in this news release. Mr. Ostensoe is not independent of Doubleview as he is a shareholder of the Company.

About the Hat Polymetallic Deposit

The Hat Deposit is located in northwestern British Columbia and is a large alkalic-porphyry system hosting significant copper, gold, cobalt, and scandium mineralization. The project has been advanced through multiple exploration campaigns, geophysical surveys, metallurgical test programs, and drill programs targeting expanded resource potential. An updated MRE and PEA are underway and expected before the end of 2025.

Scandium Exploration Target

The Hat Deposit also hosts a previously disclosed exploration target of 300-500 million tonnes averaging approximately 40 ppm (0.004%) Sc₂O₃.

“The scandium resource potential is based on the drill holes on the property drilled for (July 25, 2024) maiden resource estimate for other metal content than scandium. The potential quantity and grade are conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.”

A NI 43-101 Technical Report supporting the 2024 MRE is filed on SEDAR+.

Metallurgical testwork to date indicates that cobalt is efficiently liberated into a clean pyrite concentrate suitable for conventional downstream processing. Additional metallurgical work is ongoing.

Farshad Shirvani, President & CEO, commented: “Copper, gold, and scandium remain the primary value drivers at the Hat Deposit, but the cobalt content represents a meaningful additional component of the project’s critical-minerals profile. As demand for secure and responsibly sourced battery metals continues to rise, the Hat Deposit’s location in a Tier-1 jurisdiction and its unusually large cobalt endowment strengthen the project’s long-term relevance. As we complete the updated MRE and advance our PEA, cobalt will be one of several important contributors evaluated in the broader economic framework.”

Why Cobalt from Hat Matters

Cobalt is designated a critical mineral by Canada, the United States, the European Union, Australia, Japan, and the United Kingdom. It is essential for:

  • High-performance lithium-ion batteries
  • Superalloys used in aerospace and defense
  • Clean-energy technologies including wind, fuel cells, and emerging grid-storage systems

More than 70% of refined cobalt is processed in China, and most mine supply originates from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Western governments and industry groups are seeking secure, ethical, and transparent supply chains. Canada currently produces only minor by-product cobalt amounts. The Hat Deposit has the scale, continuity, and jurisdictional advantages to potentially contribute to future domestic supply should the project advance through the necessary evaluation and development stages.

About the Hat Polymetallic Deposit

The Hat Deposit is located in northwestern British Columbia and is a large alkalic-porphyry system hosting significant copper, gold, cobalt, and scandium mineralization. The project has been advanced through multiple exploration campaigns, geophysical surveys, metallurgical test programs, and drill programs targeting expanded resource potential. An updated MRE and PEA are underway and expected before the end of 2025.

Scandium Exploration Target

The Hat Deposit also hosts a previously disclosed exploration target of 300-500 million tonnes averaging approximately 40 ppm (0.004%) Sc₂O₃.

“The scandium resource potential is based on the drill holes on the property drilled for (July 25, 2024) maiden resource estimate for other metal content than scandium. The potential quantity and grade are conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.”

A NI 43-101 Technical Report supporting the 2024 MRE is filed on SEDAR+.
