LONDON BTC COMPANY LIMITED
Nevada Gold - Teep Assays Return up to 104.99 g/t gold
Nine samples >10 g/t gold over 3.5 km of mineralised historical workings at the Teep
London, New York, 07 October 2026 - London BTC Company Limited (“Company”) (BTC: LSE, VINZF: OTCQB), the London Stock Exchange main market-listed company, is pleased to announce the latest gold and silver assay results from the current exploration programme at its Teep Gold-Silver Project (“Teep” or the “Project”) in the Tokop Mining District, Esmeralda County, Nevada.
Hewie Rattray, CEO of London BTC, states:
“These are encouraging results from our first systematic programme at Teep. Nine samples above 10 g/t gold, including one sample at 104.99 g/t, together with high-grade results from multiple areas across the sampled 3.5 km trend, strengthen our confidence in the exploration potential of the Project. With a further 2 km of the trend still to be sampled, multi-element results pending and Dahrouge undertaking its geological assessment, there is substantial work ahead to test the scale and continuity of this mineralised trend.”
Key Points
David Lenigas, London BTC Company's Chairman, comments:
“The work completed to date indicates that Teep has the potential to be a meaningful gold project for the Company portfolio. We staked it on the strength of a few high-grade samples from a single network, and our first systematic programme has now returned high-grade gold from every cluster of historical workings we sampled, over 3.5 km of the trend. That includes a sample with over 100 grams per tonne gold from a mine that did not appear on any historical record.
These results validate our decision to secure Teep, and they show the gold potential here extends beyond where we started. With 2 km of the trend still to be sampled, multi-element results to come and a further 206 samples from Black Star, Amonett-Frank and Huntington-Whitman in the lab”

Teep Exploration Programme
The Teep Project comprises 106 unpatented mineral claims covering 2,190 acres (8.86 km²) within the Walker Lane Trend of southern Nevada. The Project was staked over historical workings developed on stockwork and tabular quartz-vein networks hosted in the Sylvania Pluton quartz monzonite. The current understanding of geology and geochemistry points to a potential porphyry-driven hydrothermal system. Historical workings define 12 areas of interest over a 5.5 km trend, the majority of which had not been sampled prior to this programme.
The maiden exploration programme collected 78 rock chip samples from historical workings and outcrop over 3.5 km of the 5.5 km trend, testing the north-northeast striking quartz veins, the historical workings developed on them, and quartz breccia zones. The programme also identified a previously unrecorded small-scale historical mine with multiple shafts. All 78 samples have now been assayed for gold and silver.
The results show gold mineralisation in all five of the clusters of historical workings, from the Eastern Vein Network, the source of the Company’s previous high-grade due diligence results, to the Central Veins 3.5 km to the west. Of the 78 samples, 37 returned greater than 0.5 g/t Au. This supports the Company’s interpretation of a mineralised trend extending across the Project rather than a single high-grade occurrence. The economic and exploration potential of the Teep project will be assessed by Dahrouge Geological consulting through geological mapping, technical assessment and further samples on the unsampled 2 km trend.
Assay Programme
Rock chip samples of approximately 0.4 kg to 2.0 kg were collected by a qualified geologist from historical workings, mine waste and outcrop across each cluster. Sample locations were recorded by handheld GPS (WGS84) at each site, with each sample assigned coordinates.
Samples were submitted to MSALABS in Elko, Nevada, where they were dried, crushed and split into 500 g jars for Chrysos PhotonAssay™ (method CPA-AuAg2). Detection limits are 0.017 g/t Au and 3.7 g/t Ag. Laboratory quality control comprised blanks and certified reference materials inserted by MSALABS, which returned results within expected ranges.
Element interference from some samples resulted in the lab using a separate gold assay energy source; however, this results in the loss of silver data for selected samples. Any sample which has held interference is reported as ‘n.r.’ (not recorded).

The Company's primary listing is on the London Stock Exchange (United Kingdom) under the ticker "BTC.L" and it trades in the USA on the OTCQB under the ticker "VINZF". The Company is building up a strategic Bitcoin holding through acquiring Bitcoin as a treasury and currency management tool and through adding Bitcoin generated from its mining operations in North America. The Company currently operates Bitcoin miners hosted across multiple third-party facilities in Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska and Texas (USA) and Labrador (Canada). As part of its hedging strategy, the Company has begun building a portfolio of US gold assets in the Tier 1 gold jurisdiction of Nevada, to complement its core Bitcoin treasury and mining operations, thereby providing shareholders with exposure to two scarce and globally recognised stores of value.
This announcement contains references to historical production sourced from third-party reports, public databases, technical literature and government reports. These historical results have not been verified by the Company, are not reported in compliance with any current Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve code and should not be relied upon as indicative of the prospectivity of the Project or any future resource, reserve or production from the Project. While the alteration and mineralisation styles observed to date show similarities to systems in the region, this comparison is conceptual only. There is no assurance that mineralisation encountered at Teep will be comparable in scale, grade, or economic characteristics to other deposits in the district. All of the samples discussed in this release are selective in nature with a high potential for bias and should not be considered as being representative of the overall mineralised structure or zone.
The information in this report that relates to exploration results and technical information is based on information compiled by Fionnlagh (Finn) Hunter, Principal Geological Consultant at Schiehallion Consulting, who is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AusIMM) and has sufficient experience of relevance to the styles of mineralisation and the types of deposits under consideration, and to the activities undertaken, to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the Joint Ore Reserves Committee (JORC) Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Mr Hunter consents to the inclusion in this report of the matters based on the information in the form and context in which it appears.
The directors of London BTC Company Limited accept responsibility for this announcement.
