Supreme Critical Metals Expands Silver Vista Project, Targeting High-Potential Silver-Copper Mineralization
**Vancouver, British Columbia – January 26, 2026** – Supreme Critical Metals Inc. (CSE: CRIT) (FSE: VR6) (OTC Pink: VRCFF) has significantly bolstered its exploration footprint with a substantial expansion of its Silver Vista project. The company has increased the project’s land package by 2,197 hectares, a 52% expansion, bringing the total tenure to an impressive 6,444 hectares (approximately 64.4 square kilometers). This strategic move aims to consolidate promising geological targets exhibiting geochemical signatures similar to the known MR Zone silver-copper mineralization, a key indicator of the property’s potential.
The company holds an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Silver Vista property. The recent expansion was driven by a comprehensive review of an extensive regional database, which included over 8,000 soil samples and 700 stream sediment samples, augmented by an airborne magnetic geophysical survey. These newly staked claims strategically cover areas identified as having high potential for further discoveries of stratiform, sediment-hosted, stacked silver-copper horizons, with the potential for bulk-tonnage mineralization.
“This expansion significantly strengthens our strategic focus on the Silver Vista project,” stated Glen Watson, CEO of Supreme Critical Metals. “By consolidating ground over geological targets analogous to the MR Zone, we are enhancing our potential for discovering additional high-grade silver and copper mineralization. Given the current strong market prices for both metals, this strategic consolidation is particularly timely. We are actively planning a summer field program to advance these newly identified targets as soon as weather conditions permit.”
The company’s strategic staking focused on two primary target areas: Silver Vista 2 and Far West. The Silver Vista 2 target, identified through historical regional stream sediment and follow-up soil sampling, exhibits an anomalous multi-element signature (Ag-Cu-Pb-Zn-As, +/- Au) comparable to the MR Zone. Historical soil samples from this area returned peak silver values of 2.8 parts per million (ppm Ag), with a notable gold assay of 23.4 parts per billion (ppb Au) from a single sample, despite gold historically being less prominent at the MR Zone. Geological interpretations suggest the Silver Vista 2 area is underlain by sediments of the Smithers Formation.
Similarly, the Far West target was identified by previous operators through soil sampling, revealing anomalous copper and silver values. This area is also interpreted to be underlain by Smithers Formation sediments, further underscoring the geological prospectivity of the expanded land package.
A critical factor enhancing the project’s viability is the significantly improved logistical access. While targets like Silver Vista 2 were remote and historically required helicopter access, extensive logging operations since 2012 have established logging roads that now lie within three kilometers of Silver Vista 2 and traverse the Far West target. This drastically reduces operational costs and improves year-round accessibility.
Beyond the newly staked areas, Supreme has also acquired additional claims along the northern boundary of the property, further consolidating its position around the established “MR Zone.”
**Important Caveat on Historical Data:**
Supreme Critical Metals emphasizes that the historical assay data cited for the Silver Vista 2 and Far West targets, derived from previous operators’ work and assessment reports, have not yet been independently verified by the company’s Qualified Person. This includes the underlying sampling methodologies, analytical procedures, and quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) protocols. Investors are cautioned that these historical results should not be relied upon until confirmed through new assays and verification programs undertaken by Supreme Critical Metals.
**About the Silver Vista Property:**
The Silver Vista Silver-Copper Property, now encompassing 6,444 hectares, is situated near Smithers, British Columbia. The property is road-accessible and features stratiform, sediment-hosted, stacked copper-silver horizons with significant bulk-tonnage potential. Historical drilling by previous operators (2021) has intersected broad mineralized zones, including a notable intersection of 46 meters grading 48 g/t silver and 0.62% copper, with higher-grade intervals observed. Multiple untested targets remain within this district-scale mineralized system.
