AI-Powered Exploration Game Changer: Nevada Sunrise Partners with VRIFY to Unlock Hidden Gold Potential at Griffon Project

Strategic Collaboration Brings Cutting-Edge Technology to Traditional Mineral Discovery

In a strategic move to modernize its exploration approach, Nevada Sunrise Metals Corporation (TSXV: NEV; OTC Pink: NVSGF) has entered into an agreement with VRIFY Technology Inc., a Vancouver-based artificial intelligence and predictive modeling specialist, to apply advanced technology solutions at the Griffon Gold Mine Project in Nevada. This collaboration marks a significant shift toward AI-driven exploration strategies in the mining sector.

How VRIFY’s DORA Platform Works: Transforming Geoscience with Machine Learning

At the heart of this partnership is DORA, VRIFY’s proprietary AI-Assisted Mineral Discovery Platform—a tool designed to address one of mining’s persistent challenges: identifying mineralization patterns that would be nearly impossible to detect through conventional methods alone. Unlike black-box AI solutions, DORA offers geologists direct access to an intuitive, web-based interface where they can run iterative predictive models in real time.

The platform’s core innovation is its VRIFY Prospectivity Score (VPS), a probabilistic metric generated through proprietary algorithms that pinpoint high-potential mineralization zones. By incorporating decades of historical exploration data—including surface geological surveys, geochemical analysis, geophysical measurements, and digitized drill hole records—DORA’s algorithms identify hidden patterns that would require extensive manual analysis to uncover.

The Technical Advantage: Data-Driven Discovery Over Intuition

VRIFY’s team of geoscientists and data specialists will work directly with Nevada Sunrise to compile, clean, and integrate comprehensive datasets from the Griffon Project. This collaboration leverages VRIFY’s extensive industry database, allowing DORA to cross-reference local project data against broader geological patterns. The result: refined exploration targets that reduce bias and uncertainty while accelerating the discovery timeline.

“Our goal is to improve exploration efficiency and maximize value extraction from our assets, which is why we’re embracing this technological evolution,” said Warren Stanyer, President and CEO of Nevada Sunrise. “When expert geoscience teams combine forces with AI capabilities, we get a powerful methodology that identifies mineralization that might otherwise be overlooked. As the industry increasingly relies on AI for targeting decisions, VRIFY’s predictive technology positions us at the forefront of exploration innovation.”

Griffon’s Strategic Location Within a World-Class Mining District

The Griffon Gold Mine Project sits approximately 50 kilometers southwest of Ely in east-central Nevada, encompassing 1,780 acres within the Battle Mountain-Eureka gold trend—one of North America’s most prolific mineral belts. Historical records show that oxide gold mining at Griffon (1998-1999) produced 62,661 ounces before closure, demonstrating the deposit’s proven potential.

The surrounding region reinforces Griffon’s geological promise. Within a 60-kilometer stretch of the Battle Mountain-Eureka trend, several major operations demonstrate the area’s mineral richness:

• Pan Mine (Calibre Mining): Contains 358,900 oz. of measured and indicated gold resources, plus 42,000 oz. inferred, with 2024 production reaching 35,267 oz.
• Gold Rock (Calibre Mining): Hosts 370,700 oz. measured and indicated, 58,100 oz. inferred, with historical production of 12,100 oz.
• Mt. Hamilton (Bendito Resources): Boasts proven reserves of 545,000 oz. gold and 4,459,600 oz. silver
• Green Springs (Orla Mining/Centerra Gold option): Historical production totaled 63,000 oz. (1988-1991)
• Lookout Mountain (Timberline Resources): Contains 423,000 oz. measured and indicated, 84,000 oz. inferred gold resources

Nevada Sunrise acquired Griffon in February 2025, recognizing the project’s potential within this mineral-rich district.

Why VRIFY’s Approach Matters for Exploration Efficiency

Steve de Jong, CEO and co-founder of VRIFY, explains the platform’s philosophy: “We built DORA because we believe AI in mineral exploration should be transparent and actionable, not a mysterious black box. The platform empowers technical teams to control their own discovery process, combining artificial intelligence with deep geoscience expertise. This hybrid approach gives companies like Nevada Sunrise the competitive edge they need in a challenging market.”

With nearly 200 mining companies across 70 countries currently partnering with VRIFY—including 26 active DORA users—the platform has established itself as an industry standard for data analysis and exploration communication. VRIFY’s team of over 100 professionals spans geoscientists, data scientists, software developers, and industry veterans.

What’s Next: Direct Access and Hands-On Modeling

Nevada Sunrise will gain direct platform access, comprehensive technical training, and the autonomy to generate and refine predictive models independently. This hands-on approach enables the company’s internal team to validate targets and guide field exploration decisions with data-backed confidence.

The AI-assisted methodology represents a fundamental shift in how junior and mid-tier exploration companies approach discovery. By reducing exploration timelines and improving targeting accuracy, technologies like DORA are democratizing access to advanced analytical capabilities previously available only to large-cap operators.

Industry Implications: AI as Standard Practice, Not Exception

This partnership reflects a broader industry trend: artificial intelligence is transitioning from experimental tool to essential infrastructure in modern mineral exploration. As commodities markets remain volatile and discovery timelines compress, companies that adopt systematic, data-driven methodologies gain measurable advantages in identifying economic deposits and communicating project value to capital markets.

Nevada Sunrise’s decision to integrate VRIFY’s capabilities into its Griffon exploration strategy signals confidence in AI’s role in unlocking value at past-producing properties with significant untapped potential.
