Emperor Metals Clarifies Resource Estimate Figures Ahead of New Orleans Investment Conference

Emperor Metals Inc. (CSE: AUOZ) (OTCQB: EMAUF) (FSE:9NH) will present at the 2025 New Orleans Investment Conference while issuing an important clarification regarding resource estimate figures from its recent disclosure. The Canadian mineral exploration company confirmed its participation in the conference scheduled for November 2-5 at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside, where it will showcase progress across its Quebec gold portfolio including the Duquesne West and Lac Pelletier projects.

The company simultaneously addressed confusion surrounding figures disclosed in its October 30, 2025 news release, providing corrected information about the Duquesne West project's resource estimates. Emperor clarified that the updated combined open-pit and underground Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate at Duquesne West totals 1.46 million ounces of gold at an average grade of 1.69 g/t Au, representing an increase of over 100% from the historical resource. This correction replaces previously referenced figures of 5.42 g/t Au or 104% increase that were mistakenly included in the initial release.

This clarification matters significantly for investors and stakeholders in the mining sector, as accurate resource reporting forms the foundation of investment decisions in mineral exploration companies. The corrected figures, while still showing substantial improvement over historical resources, provide a more realistic assessment of the project's potential value.

The company apologized for any confusion caused by the initial misstatement and reaffirmed its commitment to transparent communication with shareholders and stakeholders. This commitment to accuracy is particularly crucial as Emperor Metals prepares to present at the prestigious New Orleans Investment Conference, where it will need to maintain investor confidence while showcasing its Quebec gold portfolio. The timing of this clarification demonstrates the company's recognition that accurate data disclosure is essential for maintaining credibility in competitive investment environments.

For the mining investment community, this incident underscores the importance of verifying resource estimates and the potential impact of even minor discrepancies in reported figures. The corrected 1.69 g/t Au grade, while lower than the initially reported 5.42 g/t Au, still represents a commercially viable gold project, particularly given the substantial 1.46 million ounce resource base. Investors and industry observers will be watching closely to see how Emperor Metals manages this communication challenge while advancing its exploration programs in Quebec's Southern Abitibi Greenstone Belt.
