Viscount Mining Initiates Targeted Tungsten Evaluation Program at Cherry Creek, Nevada

Viscount Mining Corp. (TSXV: VML) (OTCQX: VLMGF) ("Viscount" or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the initiation of a systematic tungsten evaluation program at its wholly owned Cherry Creek Project, located in White Pine County, Nevada. The program will leverage the Company's extensive new geochemical database — including over 5,000 rock and soil samples recently compiled under a comprehensive district-wide integration initiative — to systematically map, prioritize, and advance the Cherry Creek tungsten system toward drill-ready targets. The decision to initiate a dedicated tungsten work program is underpinned by three powerful converging drivers: a historically documented and geologically compelling tungsten district that has been producing since World War I; a transformed global tungsten market characterized by record prices, severe supply disruption, and urgent U.S. policy action; and Viscount's own recently completed geochemical survey that has revealed strikingly high tungsten anomalies across multiple target zones at Cherry Creek — results that management believes have been materially underappreciated by the market to date. A Century of Tungsten Production: The Cherry Creek District Heritage The Cherry Creek district's tungsten history is well-documented and stretches over a century. Scheelite was first discovered at the Chance Mine in 1918, and more than 100 short tons of tungsten ore were produced during World War I. The district became one of Nevada's most important wartime strategic mineral producers during World War II, with the Cherry Creek Tungsten Company among the named primary concentrate producers cited in U.S. Bureau of Mines wartime production records for 1943, 1944, and 1945. The principal period of wartime tungsten production ran from 1940 through 1950, chiefly from the Ticup Mine — one of the very same past-producing mines now 100% owned by Viscount. Ore from the Ticup was processed at the Cherry Creek Tungsten Mill (the Kleghorn-Boundy Mill), a dedicated 50-ton gravity-flotation plant constructed specifically for this purpose approximately one mile west of Egan. In total, it is estimated that more than 30,000 short tons of tungsten were produced from the Cherry Creek district through 1958, a figure that includes both scheelite and wolframite ores. Small-to-moderate production of silver or tungsten ore was reported every year from 1902 through 1958. These facts are independently corroborated by multiple government and academic sources, including the Mackay School of Mines / Nevada State Bureau of Mines Bulletin 7 ("Spruce Mountain district, Elko County, and Cherry Creek (Egan Canyon) district, White Pine County"), a foundational geological survey of the district; the U.S. Bureau of Mines Report of Investigations 4631 (Holmes, 1950: "Investigation of Cherry Creek Tungsten District, White Pine Co., Nev."); the USGS Bulletin 648 (Hill, 1916: "Notes on some Mining Districts in Eastern Nevada"); and the NBMG Bulletin 85 (Hose, Blake, and Smith, 1976: "Geology and Mineral Resources of White Pine County, Nevada"). The USGS Mineral Resources Data System (MRDS) formally classifies the Cherry Creek District as a gold, tungsten, and silver district. Multiple distinct tungsten occurrences are separately catalogued within or near the Viscount property boundary, including the Calcite Tungsten Mine (wolframite and scheelite in quartz monzonite-hosted irregular lenses), the Big Giant Tungsten Site, and the White Horse Mine (scheelite in calcite veins). The Cherry Creek district is also referenced in the USGS/Lemon & Tweto 1962 tungsten map of the United States (MR-25).
