Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - October 13, 2025 – Panther Minerals Inc. (“Panther Minerals” or the “Company”) (CSE:PURR) (OTC:GLIOF) (FWB:2BC), a North American mineral acquisition and exploration company, is pleased to issue a corporate update regarding the current macroeconomic landscape, specifically the multi-year high in gold and base metal prices, and the positive implications for the Company’s exploration strategy, particularly at its highly prospective East Brouillan property in the Abitibi District of Quebec.

Global commodity markets are currently experiencing a significant upward trend, with gold trading at or near all-time nominal highs and key base metals showing sustained strength. This surge is being driven by persistent inflationary pressures, ongoing geopolitical uncertainty positioning precious metals as essential safe-haven assets, and growing industrial demand for critical base metals used in electrification.

For exploration-focused companies like Panther Minerals, these price levels translate directly into enhanced project economics and financial leverage:

1. Increased Project Value: Elevated metal prices dramatically improve the Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of potential mineral discoveries, making future development significantly more attractive. 

2. Lower Cut-off Grades: Higher commodity prices can lower the economic cut-off grade required for viability, potentially increasing the size of economically recoverable resources across the Company’s portfolio. 

3. Improved Financing Environment: The bullish outlook for gold and base metals fuels increased institutional and retail investor interest in the junior mining sector, potentially leading to more favorable conditions for securing exploration capital. 

The East Brouillan property, located in the prolific Abitibi Greenstone Belt of Quebec, is Panther’s key focus for potential Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) and gold discovery. The East Brouillan property is strategically situated near the historic Selbaie Mine and the B26 deposit, placing it in a highly fertile geological environment known to host significant gold, copper, zinc, and silver mineralization.

The Company believes that the current pricing environment strongly validates its strategy of focusing on the East Brouillan project, which remains largely underexplored compared to its neighbors. The prospect of proving up a commercial discovery is now more economically compelling than ever.

Mr. Ram Kumar, President and CEO of Panther Minerals Inc., commented:

“The current surge in gold and commodity pricing is not a fleeting trend; it reflects fundamental shifts in the global financial landscape. For Panther Minerals, this is a transformative moment. Every ounce of metal we identify in the ground at East Brouillan is now substantially more valuable. These record prices dramatically de-risk our early-stage exploration capital and solidify our conviction that the Abitibi is the right place, at the right time, to be pursuing a significant discovery. We are aggressively planning the next phase of fieldwork to capitalize on this exceptional market dynamic.”

Panther Minerals Inc. remains committed to a diligent and systematic exploration approach at East Brouillan, aiming to unlock the property’s value in an environment highly receptive to new mineral discoveries.

The East Brouillan property comprises a package of 14 claims, covering approximately 778 ha of ground situated in the northern part of the late Archean Abitibi greenstone belt of Quebec (Figure 1) on the eastern flank of the Brouillan Volcanic Complex, adjacent distance to the Brouillan tonalitic batholite which is a large syn-vocanic intrusion that is overlain by a coeval sequence of calc-alkaline to transitional mafic to felsic volcanics and tuffs.

This complex as a significant member of to the mineral-rich northwestern Abitibi subprovince of Quebec, host to numerous showings and significant discoveries and deposits including the:

• B26 Deposit (Indicated 11.32 Mt at 1.23% Cu 1.27% Zn); 

• Selbaie Mine (Produced 56.9 Mt at 0.87 Cu 1.85% Zn); 

• Fenelon gold deposit (4.09 Moz Au across all categories); 

• Beschefer gold project (55.63 g/t over 5.57 m); 

• BP-Beschefer Zn-Ag Project (0.93% Zn, 14.9 ppm Ag); 

• and the Ruisseau Twining gold Project (Grabs up to 54 g/t Au)

Figure 1 - Surrounding Precious and Base Metals Potentials and significant Deposits and Mines around East Brouillon Property

The bedrock geology of the East Brouillan claims is dominated by Volcanic packages (Felsic to Mafic) as a high hosting potential for precious and base metal deposits which are associated with Diorite, Tonalite, Andesitic Tuff, Gabbro and Diabase dykes (Figure 2).

The dominant lithological setting of volcanic rocks in the property is most likely bound to the same setting of volcanic-volcano sedimentary sequence hosting the B-26 and BP-Beschefer deposits.

The Company engaged Pioneer Exploration Consultant Ltd. (“Pioneer”) to fly drone Mag and VLF surveys over the East Brouillan property. The Mag and VLF surveys were conducted at 90º and 60º directions and totalled about 97 and 79 line-km, respectively at 100 metre line spacing with both sensors set to be about 40 metres above the ground level.

According to the Magnetic survey, some N-S high magnetic gradients were revealed in which their linear characteristics are correlated with the Diabase dykes shown in geology map and also suggest some other inferred parallel dyke systems. Some moderate to high magnetic conductors are revealed which are associated with either local lithological variations or mineral related magnetic concentrations. This magnetic survey also reveals an inferred SW-NE fault over the dyke system which has caused the dykes to be deformed and displaced (Figure 3).

The VLF survey outcomes, reveals eleven conductive anomalies which are more or less associated with low and high mag anomalies which identify three discovery target zones (West, East and North) for advancing future exploration programs. (Figure 3).

In the West target, there are two NW-SE electromagnetic conductors which are correlated with some N-S high magnetic anomalies (Diabase dyke system) and are associated with inferred structural feature (Fault) and also the volcanics and diabase dykes contact zones.

The East target includes several NW-SE electromagnetic conductors which are correlated with low to moderate magnetic anomalies in which some associated with lithological contacts like volcanics-andesitic tuff, Gabbro-andesitic tuff and andesitic tuff-tonalite.

The North target consists of several NW-SE electromagnetic conductors which are correlated with low magnetic anomalies in which some are associated with tonalite-diorite contact zones.
