Stewart, BC – Decade Resources Ltd (“Decade”) reports that it has received assay values for surface samples from the Treasure Mountain-Nobody Knows-Terrace Gold projects in the Terrace BC area. The project stretches from 10 to 40 air kilometers east of Terrace, B.C., on the northern slopes of the Copper River valley. The project consists of 48 contiguous minerals claims totaling 17,470 hectares which form Treasure Mountain, Nobody Knows, Dardanelle (presently farmed out) and Treasure Mountain properties. All 48 mineral claims are 100% owned by Decade Resources Ltd
The 2023 sampling concentrated on the Nobody Knows # 2 showing area as well as the original Nobody Knows showing. The latter showing was first sampled by the BC Ministry of Mines during regional geochemical sampling. In 2018, grab sampling by the Company obtained 3.8 % copper from a 5 m zone of red volcanics that were between sheared rocks on the east edge and basalt with amygdules carrying quartz-calcite and sparse copper minerals on the west. Work in this period identified a possible NW trending zone that was 1.8 km in strike. Overall width of the copper bearing zone was in excess of 7m.
During 2023, follow up work was conducted on the area to locate the source of sample A22-240 which assayed 41.2 % copper and 220 g/t silver. All samples from the area of A-22-240 were from float rocks. Samples from the original showing and malachite stained rocks half way between the 2 showings were from bedrock. Highlights of 2023 sampling are shown below:
The Treasure Mountain – Nobody Knows properties have a great potential to host copper-silver deposits and/or copper-gold bearing stockworks. At present there are over 14 known copper bearing areas. They feature numerous individual copper occurrences of which only part have been examined in the 2022 exploration program. The main copper occurrences appear to be associated either with basalt or its subvolcanic equivalent (diabase). Other copper occurrences are related to faults and fracture zones. Almost all showings in this area have a similar mineralogy (mostly bornite and chalcocite) and geochemical signature (copper-silver) which suggest the same source of mineralization.
Subsequent to the grab sampling, the Company located the area source of the float rocks by hand trenching along the logging road ditch line.

Assays on the above samples have been completed by ALS Labs in Vancouver BC.
