Manning Ventures Samples Up To 4.77% Cu At The Copper Hill Project, Nevada, USA
Vancouver - Manning Ventures Inc. (the "Company" or "Manning") (CSE: MANN; Frankfurt: 1H5) is pleased to report that it has received geochemical results from ALS Global for rock samples collected during its geological mapping on the Copper Hill Project located within the Walker Lane Trend, southern Nevada, USA. Elevated values were returned from sample CHR-9 which returned 2.01% copper ("Cu") and 0.263 grams-oer-tonne ("gpt") gold ("Au") and 2.0 gpt silver ("Ag"). The sample was a chip over a 3 x 3 foot outcrop. Rock samples CHR-11 to CHR-13 taken from mine dumps on the adjacent claims returned values of 1.74%, 2.03% and 4.77% copper respectively. Highlights of the rock sampling are tabled below.
| Sample # | Utm_E | Utm_N | Cu_percent | Au_ppm | Ag_ppm | Description |
| CHR-9 | 373637 | 4302111 | 2.01 | 0.298 | 2.00 | Red hematitic Trls with malachite and chrysocolla |
| CHR-11 | 374189 | 4302300 | 1.74 | 0.223 | 3.00 | Grab off Mag Skarn Pile |
| CHR-12 | 374189 | 4302300 | 2.03 | 0.257 | 2.30 | Grab off green malachite pile |
| CHR-13 | 374189 | 4302300 | 4.77 | 0.659 | 8.00 | Grab off green garnetite/mag skarn pile |
For the rock sampling program, in addition to the Laboratory's internal QA/QC procedures, a program of inserting Certified Referenced Material ("CRM") into the sampling stream was employed.
Prior to Manning's current exploration program 50 rock chip samples were previously collected from historic mine dumps, prospect pits, and outcrops, returning copper ("Cu") values from 10 ppm to136,500 ppm (13.65% Cu) and gold values from 0.005 ppm to 0.330 ppm. The data from the 20 samples collected during the spring 2024 mapping program have been combined with historic rock sampling into the properties database, and appear in figure 1 below.

About the Copper Hill Project
Located within the prolific Walker Lane trend in southern Nevada, Copper Hill is situated one of the premier jurisdictions for precious metals mining in the world. Historic endowment within Walker Lane includes 50Moz Au, 700Moz Ag, and 4Mt Cu. Copper Hill hosts copper-gold-molybdenum mineralization in both porphyry and skarn styled deposits in Mineral County, Nevada. The property consists of 108 mineral claims covering an area of 893-ha, located 22 miles north of Hawthorne, Nevada and is accessible using well-maintained County Roads.
The Project is centered on a Jurassic Age quartz monzonite porphyry intruding Triassic age Luning Limestone. The claims cover 2.3 sq miles and are 33 miles east of the Yerington Copper District which hosts the Yerington Copper Mine (Anaconda 1952-1978), Ann Mason Deposit, Bear Deposit, MacArthur Deposit, and the Pumpkin Hollow Mine.
Historically at Copper Hill, reported high-grade copper was mined from underground shafts from skarn and porphyry-copper styled mineralization at the Copper Mountain Mine. Between 1914 to 1926 mining from the "Copper Mountain Mine" produced an estimated 1,000,000 pounds of copper from shallow underground workings. Historic reporting from the period of production describes ore zones of contact skarn- type and porphyry-type mineralization with shipping grades ranging from 3.5 to 11.0% copper*.
*Historic Mining information was summarized from an "Unpublished Report on the Carson Sink Area, Nevada by F.C. Schrader, U.S. Geological Survey (Field work 1911-1920) 1947". Manning Ventures cautions investors that the historic exploration and production information is believed to be accurate but has not been verified by a qualified person.
The Copper Hill mineralizing system forms a topographic high surrounded and partially covered by younger volcanic rocks. Mineralization identified at Copper Hill are bornite, chalcocite, chalcopyrite, chrysocolla, copper-native, covellite, cuprite, gold, malachite, molybdenite, silver, sphalerite (rare), and tetrahedrite.
The Copper Mountain area was explored between 1959 to 1979 by Idaho Minning Corp. and Walker-Martel who conducted ground geophysics, underground mapping, prospecting and reported 6000 feet of Rotary drilling. Since that time ground magnetics were conducted in 2007.
Rock sampling collected at this time returned values from select samples of 7.2% and 12.7% copper and 1.06 g/t gold and 1.19 g/t gold respectively.
