Magna Mining Intersects 24.0% Cu, 1.2% Ni & 6.7 g/t Pt + Pd + Au over 2.0 Metres at Levack Mine
Magna Mining reports significant drilling results from its Levack and McCreedy West mines in Sudbury. Standout intersections include 24.0% copper, 1.2% nickel, and 6.7 g/t platinum + palladium + gold over 2.0 meters at Levack Mine.
At McCreedy West, drilling revealed impressive grades including 6.8% copper over 11.1 meters and 3.5% copper over 25.6 meters. Two drill rigs are active at each property, with a third mobilized to Levack to test deeper footwall exploration targets.
The company is advancing its Levack Mine restart plan for 2026, focusing on developing a surface ramp near the Keel Zone. Current drilling programs aim to define near-surface footwall mineralization and provide material for metallurgical testing to facilitate planning and ore sale agreements.
The exploration success supports Magna's strategy to expand resources and advance production planning at both properties, with particular focus on the copper-rich zones and PGE mineralization.
Magna Mining annuncia risultati significativi dalle perforazioni nelle sue miniere Levack e McCreedy West a Sudbury. Tra i risultati pi霉 rilevanti, si segnalano intersezioni con il 24,0% di rame, 1,2% di nichel e 6,7 g/t di platino + palladio + oro su 2,0 metri presso la miniera di Levack.
Alla miniera McCreedy West, le perforazioni hanno evidenziato grade impressionanti, tra cui il 6,8% di rame su 11,1 metri e il 3,5% di rame su 25,6 metri. Due trivelle sono operative in ciascuna propriet脿, mentre una terza 猫 stata mobilitata a Levack per testare obiettivi di esplorazione pi霉 profondi nel footwall.
L'azienda sta portando avanti il piano di riavvio della miniera Levack per il 2026, concentrandosi sullo sviluppo di una rampa superficiale vicino alla zona Keel. I programmi di perforazione attuali mirano a definire la mineralizzazione nel footwall vicino alla superficie e a fornire materiale per test metallurgici, facilitando cos矛 la pianificazione e gli accordi per la vendita del minerale.
Il successo dell'esplorazione supporta la strategia di Magna di espandere le risorse e avanzare nella pianificazione della produzione in entrambe le propriet脿, con particolare attenzione alle zone ricche di rame e alla mineralizzazione di PGE.

Magna Mining meldet bedeutende Bohrergebnisse aus seinen Levack- und McCreedy West-Minen in Sudbury. Hervorzuhebende Abschnitte beinhalten 24,0% Kupfer, 1,2% Nickel und 6,7 g/t Platin + Palladium + Gold 眉ber 2,0 Meter in der Levack-Mine.
In McCreedy West zeigten Bohrungen beeindruckende Gehalte, darunter 6,8% Kupfer 眉ber 11,1 Meter und 3,5% Kupfer 眉ber 25,6 Meter. Jeweils zwei Bohrger盲te sind auf jedem Grundst眉ck aktiv, ein drittes wurde nach Levack verlegt, um tiefere Fu脽wand-Erkundungsziele zu testen.
Das Unternehmen treibt seinen Plan zur Wiederaufnahme des Betriebs der Levack-Mine f眉r 2026 voran und konzentriert sich auf die Entwicklung einer oberirdischen Rampe in der N盲he der Keel-Zone. Die aktuellen Bohrprogramme zielen darauf ab, die oberfl盲chennahe Fu脽wandmineralisierung zu definieren und Material f眉r metallurgische Tests bereitzustellen, um die Planung und Erzverkaufsvereinbarungen zu erleichtern.
Der Erfolg der Exploration unterst眉tzt Magnas Strategie, die Ressourcen zu erweitern und die Produktionsplanung an beiden Standorten voranzutreiben, mit besonderem Fokus auf kupferreiche Zonen und PGE-Mineralisierung.

Additional Infill Drilling at the McCreedy West Mine Continues to Return High-Grade Copper Intersections
Sudbury, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - April 30, 2025) - Magna Mining Inc. (TSXV: NICU) (OTCQB: MGMNF) (FSE: 8YD) ("Magna" or the "Company") is pleased to announce additional assay results from the ongoing diamond drilling programs at both Levack and McCreedy West mines (Figure 1).
Drilling at Levack continues to define the near-surface Keel Footwall Copper zone and test exploration targets near the Main Orebody. Magna is currently compiling data and internal studies to review the potential to develop a ramp from surface near the Keel Zone as part of a re-start plan for Levack in 2026.
The diamond drilling at McCreedy West is targeting areas near historical mining zones and is focused on the 700 Footwall (FW) Cu-PGE zone definition and resource expansion in support of mid-term production planning.
Highlights from the new assay results include:

Dave King, S.V.P. Exploration and Geoscience for Magna Mining, stated: "Magna is pleased to announce additional assay results from the ongoing drilling programs at both the McCreedy West and Levack mines. The drilling we have done in the Keel Zone area has provided Magna with more certainty in the orientation of the vein trend and provided fresh core which can be used for metallurgical work as required. We can now move away from the known Keel Zone mineralization and begin expansion drilling with the goal of growing the resource closer to surface and to the east towards the Main Orebody. The information we acquire will provide the detail required to inform the Levack Mine restart plan. Two drill rigs are active on each property, and a third drill rig has been mobilized to the Levack site. This third rig at Levack will begin testing deeper footwall exploration targets that we believe have the potential for a new, copper rich footwall discovery."
Levack Mine 2025 Drilling Program
Two surface diamond drills are active at the Levack mine, with the objective of defining near surface footwall mineralization that could be accessed early in a Levack Mine restart plan. Initial drilling is targeting the Keel Footwall (FW) zone as well as testing exploration trends between and along strike of the Keel Zone and the Main Orebody (Figure 2). Drilling to date on the Keel FW zone has intersected 1 to 2 metre chalcopyrite rich, massive sulphide veins, resulting in high grade copper assays such as
McCreedy West Mine 2025 Drilling
Diamond drilling at McCreedy West is focused on production support, primarily in the 1010 and 1150 levels of the 700 FW Cu-PGE zone (Figure 3). Two drill rigs are active in the area, defining remnant mineralization adjacent to historical stoping areas, to facilitate detailed mine planning and scheduling. Assay results from the two drillholes released today are selected examples of high-grade intersections, over significant widths remaining in the 700 FW complex, including

QAQC
Sample QA/QC procedures for Magna have been designed to meet or exceed industry standards. Drill core is collected from the diamond drill and placed in sealed core trays for transport to Magna’s core facilities. Levack drilling utilizes NQ sized core and McCreedy West utilizes BQTK sized core. The core is then logged, and samples marked in intervals of up to 1.5m. Levack drill core is split and sampled ½ core, and McCreedy west is whole core sampled. Samples are then put into plastic bags with 10 bagged samples being placed into rice bags for transport to Swastika Laboratories in Kirkland Lake, Ontario, via Gardewine Transport for preparation and analysis. Samples are submitted in batches of 50 with 5 QA/QC samples including, 2 certified reference material standards, 2 samples of blank material and 1 lab duplicate.
