Hayasa Metals Completes 2025 Drilling Program at Urasar; Upcoming Phase 2 2025 Drill Program at Vardenis
Hayasa Metals (OTCQB:HAYAF) has completed its Phase 2 diamond drill program at the 100%-owned Urasar Mineral District in northern Armenia, drilling 2,040.1 meters across eleven holes. The program targeted five prospects along a 15 km-long mineralized corridor, including Western Zone (Copper Creek, Oxide Basin, Golden Vein) and Eastern Zone (Black River, Brick House).
The company has submitted approximately 400 core samples for analysis, with results expected in late September 2025. Additionally, Hayasa announced the commencement of its 2025 Vardenis drill campaign in mid-August, planning 8-10 drill holes totaling 3,400 meters. The Vardenis project, located 20kms from the Amulsar deposit, shows potential for hosting a Tier-1 porphyry copper-molybdenum deposit, attracting interest from major mining companies.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 6, 2025) - Hayasa Metals Inc. (TSXV: HAY) (OTCQB: HAYAF) (FSE: FR2) ("Hayasa" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the successful completion of its Phase 2 diamond drill program at its
During June and July 2025, a total of 2,040.1 meters were drilled across eleven diamond drill holes at the Urasar project. The program targeted five prospects along the 15 km-long mineralized corridor, including:
- Western Zone: Copper Creek, Oxide Basin, and Golden Vein
- Eastern Zone: Black River and Brick House
Approximately 400 core samples from drill holes UDD-010 through UDD-016 have been submitted for preparation and laboratory analysis. Assay results are expected in late September this year. Logging, cutting, and processing of the remaining holes are ongoing. Detailed summaries of the drill program, including tables and maps, are provided in the figures below.

Commencement of 2025 Drill Program at Vardenis
Hayasa is also pleased to announce that the 2025 Vardenis drill campaign will begin in mid-August. The program will consist of eight to ten drill holes, totaling a minimum of 3,400 meters, targeting the northern portion of the 94 km² license area. This region hosts the most promising molybdenum anomalies and low-resistivity/high chargeability zones identified through the 2024 Induced Polarization (IP) survey and a recently completed magneto-telluric (MT) survey.
Drill pad construction is currently underway, and final planning of drill hole locations is in progress. An updated drill plan map will be released at the start of the campaign.
Chairman & President Commentary
Dennis Moore, President, and Qualified Person for Hayasa Metals, commented:
"This is an exciting time for our Company. We've put significant effort into preparing for these drill campaigns-conducting MT surveys, improving road access, and working closely with geological specialists and local contractors. The 2,000-meter, eleven-hole program at Urasar has concluded successfully, and I'm particularly encouraged by the copper sulfide mineralization observed in most holes, especially those from the Golden Vein area."
Moore continues: "We're now turning our focus to Vardenis. With its extensive alteration footprint-the largest in Armenia-and strong geophysical and geochemical signatures, we believe Vardenis has the potential to host a Tier-1 porphyry copper-molybdenum deposit. Interest from several major mining companies underscores this potential. This next drill program is a critical step toward testing that thesis."
CEO Commentary
Joel Sutherland, CEO for Hayasa Metals, commented:
"Congrats to the team in the field for completing the second 2,000m program at Urasar in less than 9 months. Investors should understand that the team at Hayasa has done an exceptional amount of work with limited resources including: a just completed Magneto-Telluric survey at Vardenis and Urasar, and incorporating findings from Simon Meldrum's analysis. Additionally, at both properties: we've completed an IP survey, performed additional soil sampling, and finished the ground mag survey. Not to mention the addition of two high quality targets in our project pipeline identification. Given the visible metal in the box at Urasar, we look forward to the assays out in September and getting started on Vardenis."
