Golden Rapture Mining Issues Shares For Debt

Fri, 25 Sep 2026 17:05:00 MDT

September 25, 2026 – TheNewswire - GOLDEN RAPTURE MINING CORPORATION (CSE-GLDR) announces that, further to its news release dated September 20, 2024, it has issued 480,000 common shares at a deemed price of $0.05 per Share to the President (the “Insider”) of the Company as payment of debt in the aggregate amount of $24,000 (the “Debt Settlement”), to settle an amount owed by the Company for unpaid director services.

Accordingly, the issuance of the Debt Shares to the directors constitutes a "related party transaction" as this term is defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Securityholders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The directors of the Company, acting in good faith, determined that the fair market value of the Debt Shares being issued pursuant to the shares for debt transaction and the consideration being paid is reasonable. The Company intends to rely on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the Debt Shares nor the debt exceeds 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.

All securities issued in connection with the Debt Settlement will be subject to a statutory hold period expiring four months and one day after the date of issuance, as set out in National Instrument 45-102 – Resale of Securities.

Comet Industries Announces Non-Dilutive Debt Financing to Fund the Ongoing Development of the Iron Mask Project in Kamloops BC.

Fri, 25 Sep 2026 16:35:00 MDT

Kamloops, BC September 25, 2026 – TheNewswire - Comet Industries Ltd. (“Comet” or the “Company”) announces that on it entered into a commitment letter for a secured, non-revolving term loan agreement with a Harbour Mortgage Corp. (the “Lender”), pursuant to which the Company will borrow up to the aggregate principal amount of $8,000,000 (the “Loan”) to support construction and development activities related to the Company’s Iron Mask project in Kamloops, British Columbia (the “Project”).

The Loan has a one year term and bears interest at the greater of the Royal Bank of Canada prime rate plus 4.55% and 9.00% per annum, calculated and payable monthly. A commitment fee of $200,000 is payable to the lender, of which $100,000 was paid upon acceptance of the commitment letter and the balance will be deducted from the initial advance. The Loan will be advanced through multiple draws based on work completed, no more than once per month and in minimum amounts of $500,000, with a $750 administration fee payable on each advance.

The Loan cannot be prepaid during its initial 6-month term. If the Loan is not repaid by the maturity date, an overholding fee equal to 0.25% of the outstanding principal will be payable monthly in advance, in addition to interest and all other amounts owing. Payment of the overholding fee does not extend the Loan’s term or cure the resulting default.

Including the commitment and administration fees, the effective annual interest rate over the one year term is estimated at approximately 13.3%, assuming eight monthly draws. Depending on the timing of permitted draws, the effective annual rate is expected to range from approximately 12.3% to 14.5%. If the Loan remains outstanding for three months after maturity, the effective annual rate over the extended period would be approximately 12.2%. In no event can the effective annual rate exceed 24% per annum.

The proceeds of the Loan are expected to be used to:

I. repay the Company’s existing loan from an arm’s-length third party in the amount of approximately $1.6 million; and

II. pay trade creditors, contractors, subcontractors, and material suppliers in connection with the servicing and related construction activities at the Project.

All lenders are arm’s-length parties, and the transaction does not constitute a related-party transaction under applicable securities laws.

The Loan will be secured by, among other things, a first-ranking mortgage over the lands comprising the Company’s Kamloops subdivision project, together with an assignment of rents, an assignment of receivables, a first-ranking general security agreement over all personal property related to the Project, with security registered pursuant to the Personal Property Security Act (British Columbia). The Company anticipates that it will service the Loan by using a portion of the proceeds received from the sale of lots comprising the Project.

Completion of the Loan is subject to various conditions customary for transactions of this nature, including entering into of a formal loan agreement between the parties and receipt of all requisite approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”). The loan will not be convertible into any securities of the Company without the prior approval of the Exchange.

Ashley Gold Corp. Announces Drilling Discovery in Eastern Step Out of 67Z, Cutting 3.333 g/t Au over 60.00m from 24.00m Downhole, Including 229 g/t Au over 0.65m at 63.15m Downhole, Abutting the NexGold Goliath-Gold Complex

Fri, 25 Sep 2026 07:00:00 MDT

CALGARY, ALBERTA - Sept 25, 2026 – TheNewswire - Ashley Gold Corp. (CSE: “ASHL”) (“Ashley” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an assay update to the markets from Phase III drilling completed on the Tak Project (the “Property”), which comprises the patented position on the southwest of the Company’s Burnthut Project.

Significance:

Ashley’s third received assay set from drilling completed outside historic zones (TAK-26-06, TAK-26-14, and now TAK-26-16).
Best Company and Property interval to date, achieved in under 2,000m of diamond drilling.

Positioning:

4 Phase III Holes remain pending,
Phase IV drilling completed 4 holes.

Next Steps:

The Company will complete Phase IV planned holes and evaluate the allocation of additional meterage to the greater area around the TAK-26-16 hole, pending assessment of expended meterage.

President Noah Komavli on TAK-26-16; “It is my pleasure to present this result to our investors and the markets. I was of the belief that the historic holes did not fully represent the potential of the Tak, and these assays confirm that. TAK-26-16 delivered not only our best Company intercept, but the best in the recorded history of the Patents. We are consistently improving our understanding of the Property, and this drill result is a testament to that. From our acquisition in early 2026 and following validation of historic drilling, we have begun to move away from historic areas as we explore the system. The discovery of high-grade gold so close to the surface is a game changer.”

Table 1: Summary Results from TAK-26-16

Exploration Manager, Shannon Baird; “In both orogenic and QFP settings, gold is rarely distributed evenly. High-grade shoots or vein swarms can act as the anchor of a broader mineral system where a single high-grade shoot can contain the majority of a system’s total ounces despite occupying a fraction of its volume. The fact that we encountered multiple high-grade sections within a broader altered and mineralized envelope near surface will help put Tak on the map. I really look forward to future detailed follow-up to help unfold the next chapter of this increasingly exciting story.”

Grade Capping, Assay Summary

At present, the Company does not have sufficient assay counts to statistically identify an appropriate grade cap for the high-grade zone encountered in TAK-26-16.

Due to high grain counts of visible gold, the Company feels that capping extremely high-grade domains at 40 g/t Au for the time being is prudent. This grade cap is not representative of what a block model or resource model may make as assumptions and is provided to only demonstrate the interval using a lower grade value.

Tak Project - Background

Situated abutting the Northeast of the Goliath Gold Complex, the Tak Patents have been the subject of intermittent exploration efforts from the 1900’s, with legendary companies like Lac Minerals (Barrick) and Cominco (Teck) exploring in and around the patented ground. At least two surveys were flown, with the most detailed mapping occurring in the late 1900’s. Within the patented boundary, only 11 historic holes were ever recorded from two operators - in 1999 and 2002. After 2002, the project sat idle for 24 years until acquired by the Company.

Figure 4: Regional Map and Area of Activity

In 2026, mere weeks after acquisition, Ashley commissioned the first modern IP survey. The results highlighted a +1km resistive body, with two main chargeable units flanking the resistive body to the North. Ashley engaged 518 Drilling Ltd., deploying equipment into the patents for continued use. Guided in part from historic records and Phase 1 drilling results, three high priority zones have emerged.

Exploration Zones

D99Z:

In early 2026, a 5 hole, first phase program was successful in validating and expanding 1999 results. The zone was given the moniker “D99Z”. With the final two holes still pending from Phase 1 drilling, the surface mineralization width in the D99Z is already estimated at +80m.

67Z:

Two holes carried out in 2002 included TAK-02-06 and TAK-02-07, intercepting 3.08 g/t Au over 7.57 m (incl. 7.0 g/t Au over 1.1 m) and 3.18 g/t Au over 8.7 m (incl. 9.67 g/t Au over 0.8 m), respectively (Southern Rio, 2002). These intercepts were some of the best in recorded history on the Tak Patents, and the area was given the title “67Z” by Ashley. In Phase 2 drilling, Ashley deployed 3 holes on IP line 250 to target the zone and collect data on lithologies, as well as dip. TAK-26-08 was the first hole collared North, intercepting two zones of visible gold, assaying 0.729 g/t Au over 38.75m (incl. 0.961 g/t Au over 27.50m, incl. 1.43 g/t Au over 17.00m, incl. 9.200 g/t Au over 0.5 m).

NTZ:

The Northern Trench Zone (“NTZ”) comprises five trenches, up to 2m wide, 2m deep and some as long as 60m. This area has no drilling records, yet was worked vigorously, as evidenced by the scale of the trench networks. Ashley discovered a high-grade gold zone through prospecting, sampling up to 398 g/t Au. The surface expression of the vein was traced for over 300m west of the high-grade grab sample.

Tak History

January 1940s - Long Lac Minerals (Mosher Long Lac Gold Mines Ltd.), extensive surface trenching (trenches up to 70 m long) on the Tak Grid targeting gold mineralization in quartz-feldspar porphyry (QFP); followed by 1948 magnetometer survey. MDI.

1980 - Cominco, geological mapping, rock sampling, and magnetometer survey over the property identifying porphyry-hosted gold potential. MDI.

1998-1999 - Triex Resources, acquired the Tak Patents; conducted prospecting, sampling, trenching (assays 1,100–29,790 ppb Au), and drilled 10 DDH (~1,558 m total), including TAK-99-10 returning 2.082 g/t Au over 31.83 m from 3.57–35.40 m (incl. 11.778 g/t Au over 2.88 m and 7.632 g/t Au over 1.10 m); outlined stockwork quartz-carbonate veining in silicified/carbonatized QFP; MDI.

2002 - Southern Rio Resources, optioned the property from Triex and drilled 8 DDH (~1,209 m) on the Tak Grid; outlined gold mineralization over ~350 m strike length to ~100 m depth with stockwork veining, visible gold noted, and intercepts including TAK-02-06: 3.08 g/t Au over 7.57 m (plus 7.0 g/t Au over 1.1 m) and TAK-02-07: 3.18 g/t Au over 8.7 m (incl. 9.67 g/t Au over 0.8 m). Southern Rio AFRI report.

January 6, 2026 - Ashley Gold Corp., acquired 100% ownership of the Tak Patents (part of Burnthut Project, ~100 ha patented ground adjoining NexGold Goliath-Gold Complex) via all-stock deal from for 3.5M shares; consolidates historical data showing bulk-tonnage QFP-hosted gold potential open in all directions; 5% NSR to Royal Gold Inc. (2.5% buyback for $1M).

February 10, 2026 - Ashley Gold Corp., announced operational readiness for winter drilling campaign on Tak Patents and engagement of Abitibi Geophysics for first-ever modern OreVision IP survey to refine targets and twin historic holes.

March 14, 2026 - Ashley Gold Corp., provided interim IP data revealing 1 km resistive trend on Tak Patents aligning with historic gold zones and abutting NexGold Goliath-Gold Complex.

April 2–10, 2026 - Ashley Gold Corp., completed mobilization to site (drill trails, 10+ pads, rig and skidder in place) and announced crew mobilization/drilling kick-off for Phase 1 program targeting validation of historic D99Z zone and extensions.

April–May 2026 - Ashley Gold Corp., completed Phase 1 diamond drilling (5 holes: TAK-26-01 to TAK-26-05) as twins/fans to historic holes; core logging/cutting showed strong alteration, pyrite, and quartz-carbonate veining with multiple visible mineralization examples; equipment left on site for Phase 2.

May 14, 2026 - Ashley Gold Corp., reported first Phase 1 assay (TAK-26-01): 1.104 g/t Au over 28 m from collar (incl. 1.662 g/t Au over 12 m), confirming and validating historic near-surface mineralization in D99Z zone; mineralization starts at surface with strong continuity of grade within interval.

May 20, 2026 - Ashley Gold Corp., reported TAK-26-02 assays: multiple gold intervals including 0.586 g/t Au over 34.2 m from surface within 194.1 m of anomalous gold mineralization, further confirming broad width and continuity of the mineralized D99Z stockwork system south of TAK-26-01.

June 4, 2026 - Ashley Gold Corp., reported TAK-26-03 assays: multiple gold intervals including 2.347 g/t Au over 4.35 m within 156.5 m of anomalous gold mineralization, further confirming broad width and continuity of the mineralized D99Z stockwork system south of TAK-26-01.

Quality Assurance / Quality Control

The Company utilizes a drill rig recovering NQ core. All core is sealed in the field by the drill contractor and transported to the core logging facility. Core is then teched and logged by the Company geologist. Prior to geological logging and cutting, all core is systematically inspected and pieced back together until interlocked, depth measurements completed, RQD/Recovery measured, photographed dry and wet, and magnetic susceptibility measurements are taken. Sample intervals are then marked by grease pencil and flagged using ActLabs sample tags. QAQC check samples are inserted every tenth sample consisting of either a blank substrate material, OREAS gold certified standard, or a duplicate is done by quarter cutting the previous sample interval and submitting the other quarter material as the QAQC sample. All samples are cut using a wet saw and placed in pre-labelled sample bags pertaining to the sample interval. When a sample interval is complete, the assay card is added to the respective sample bag and the bag is securely sealed while the matching waterproof tag is permanently stapled into the core box at the end of the sample interval. Rice bags are labelled with the company name, submission batch number, range of sample numbers contained, total number of samples, and rice bag number and range. The secured sample bags are then placed into the rice bags pertaining to the range labelled on the rice bag and then securely fastened with zip ties. Rice bags are stored in a secured shipping container until Company contractors transport completed holes to ActLabs in Dryden, ON for 1A2 Au fire assay.

A sample size of 5 to 50 grams can be used but the routine size is 30 g for rock pulps, soils, or sediments (exploration samples). The sample is mixed with fire assay fluxes (borax, soda ash, silica, litharge) and with Ag added as a collector and the mixture is placed in a fire clay crucible. The mixture is then preheated at 850°C, intermediate 950°C and finish 1060°C with the entire fusion process lasting 60 minutes. The crucibles are then removed from the assay furnace and the molten slag (lighter material) is carefully poured from the crucible into a mould, leaving a lead button at the base of the mould. The lead button is then placed in a preheated cupel which absorbs the lead when cupelled at 950°C to recover the Ag (doré bead) + Au. overlimits are run under 1A3 with gravimetric finish.

All geological samples from the drilling program were subjected to a rigorous QA/QC program under the supervision of the designated Qualified Person (QP). Samples were securely transported from the project site in sealed bags directly to the Activation Laboratories (ActLabs) facility for preparation and analysis.

Analytical Procedures

Primary Gold Analysis (Code 1A2): All samples were pulverized and analyzed for gold content using Actlabs method Code 1A2. This procedure utilizes a standard lead-collection Fire Assay (FA) on a 30-gram sample charge, followed by digestion and an Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) finish. The lower detection limit for this method is 5 ppb.
Over-Limit Check Analysis (Code 1A3): For any sample returning a gold value exceeding 5.0 g/t Au under the Code 1A2 method, an automatic over-limit check was triggered. These high-grade samples were re-assayed via Actlabs method Code 1A3, utilizing a lead-collection Fire Assay followed by a direct Gravimetric (GRA) finish on a separate 30-gram charge to ensure absolute analytical accuracy for ore-grade mineralization.

Laboratory Accreditation & Quality Monitoring

Actlabs is an independent commercial laboratory accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 standards. In addition to the laboratory's internal QA/QC protocols (including systematically inserted blanks, duplicate samples, and certified reference materials), Ashley Gold Corp. strictly implemented its own independent QA/QC program. This included the regular insertion of certified reference standards (CRMs), field duplicates, and coarse blanks into the sample stream to independently monitor and verify laboratory precision and accuracy.

The QP has reviewed the QA/QC data from Ashley Gold Corp. and confirms that the sample preparation, security, and analytical procedures meet or exceed industry best practices and standard guidelines, and that the resulting assay data is considered reliable for resource modeling and exploration reporting.

Gold values up to 4.777 g/t Au were returned along the North Blue Star Vein, with additional anomalous values of 0.834 g/t and 0.195 g/t Au along the Blue Star Vein to the south.

Highlights

Clark Exploration Consulting Inc. commenced prospecting and geological mapping on the Kenora Project on May 20, 2026, with field work focused on the Bonanza claim block
The Company has received assay results for the first batch of 215 grab samples submitted to Activation Laboratories Ltd. in Thunder Bay, Ontario, with results for the remaining 116 samples pending.
Sampling of a sub-parallel structure located approximately 20 m north of the historic Blue Star showing returned gold values of 4.77 g/t, 4.68 g/t, and 1.05 g/t Au, part of a series of parallel quartz veins identified in the area
These results build on previous phase of sampling at the Bonanza Gold Property in the fall of 2025, which returned grades of up to 127 g/t Au at the historic Triggs occurrence and up to 31.9 g/t Au at the Blue Star occurrence, underscoring the gold potential of the broader mineralized system. (see New Age Metals press release dated October 1, 2025: https://newagemetals.com/new-age-metals-options-bonanza-gold-project-kenora-gold-district-ontario/)
Mechanized stripping as previously recommended has been completed at the Triggs occurrence to expose additional gold-bearing features.
The Company has engaged a structural geological consultant to complete a structural analysis of the fault and the Triggs vein. This analysis will provide direction for detailed geological mapping and channel sampling of the stripped areas
NAM has received final data deliveries from a high-resolution, fixed-wing geophysical survey flown by Terraquest Ltd. over the Magnet Lake, Northern Extension, Lavender Lake, Bonanza, South Gibi, and Lavender Lake Extension claim blocks. The data is comprised of horizontal magnetic gradient, radiometric (gamma ray), and VLF-EM data. The geophysical results are being compiled with other geological data for comprehensive evaluation.

Harry Barr, Chairman and CEO of New Age Metals, commented: "The results from this season's prospecting continue to demonstrate that mineralization at Bonanza Ridge extends well beyond the areas previous operators and our company historically focused on. This year's work has identified gold values up to 4.77 g/t on a previously unrecognized sub-parallel structure north of Blue Star tells us there is more room to grow this system, and the parallel quartz vein trend we're now mapping gives our technical team additional targets heading into the winter. Combined with the new airborne geophysical data across our broader claim blocks and the structural work now underway at Triggs, we are building the technical foundation needed to define drill-ready targets for a winter diamond drill program."

Bonanza Claim Block – Prospecting and Sampling

Clark Exploration Consulting Inc. began prospecting and geological mapping across the Kenora Project on May 20, 2026, with work concentrated on the Bonanza claim block which include the Triggs property. Field work has been conducted in areas surrounding known mineral occurrences, with the objective of extending the strike length of known structures and identifying parallel or associated features. To date, we have received the results for 215 grab samples that were collected and submitted to Activation Laboratories Ltd. in Thunder Bay, Ontario for geochemical analysis, with results for the remaining 116 samples pending.

Sampling of a sub-parallel structure located approximately 20 m north of the historic Blue Star showing returned three notable gold values of 4.77 g/t, 4.68 g/t, and 1.05 g/t Au. This structure forms part of a series of parallel quartz veins identified in the surrounding area, and the Company considers it an encouraging indication that the mineralized system extends beyond previously documented showings.

Triggs Occurrence – Mechanized Stripping and Structural Analysis

Mechanized stripping has been completed at the historic Triggs occurrence, with the objective of exposing gold-bearing features associated with the historic Triggs vein. This work follows recommendations made in prior exploration programs on the property. The Company has engaged a structural geological consultant to complete a structural analysis of the fault and the historic Triggs vein and other veins.

Channel sampling and detailed geological mapping is being carried out across the mechanized stripped areas as the program advances.

Airborne Geophysical Survey

The Company has received final data deliveries from a high-resolution, fixed-wing geophysical survey conducted by Terraquest Ltd., which recorded horizontal magnetic gradient, radiometric (gamma ray), and VLF-EM data over the Magnet Lake, Northern Extension, Lavender Lake, Bonanza, South Gibi, and Lavender Lake Extension claim blocks of the Kenora Project. Results are currently being analyzed and will be integrated with existing geological data to refine ongoing field work and further the Company's understanding of the project's geological framework.

QA/QC and Assay Procedures

Quality assurance and quality control (“QA/QC”) procedures were implemented for the 2026 field program. At least a “two fist size” portion of rock (~1.8 kg) was collected from each sample location, then placed in a polyethylene bag with a unique sample tag and ziptied closed. Samples were packed in rice bags and delivered by Clark Exploration staff to Actlabs. Commercially prepared Oreas certified reference material standards and generic blank material were inserted as part of the QA/QC program.

Samples were analyzed at Activation Laboratories (“Actlabs”) facilities in Thunder Bay and Ancaster, Ontario, which are ISO 17025 and ISO 9001 certified. Actlabs is independent of New Age and Clark Exploration. Samples were initially analyzed by 50-gram fire assay with an atomic absorption finish. Any sample assaying greater than 5 g/t Au was reassayed by fire assay with a gravimetric finish.

Geochemical analyses were performed by Actlabs and consisted of aqua regia digestion and analysis for 40 elements by inductively coupled plasma (“ICP”) methods. Overlimit samples were reassayed for silver and copper by aqua regia digestion using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (“ICP-OES”), Actlabs method 8-AR-ICP-OES. A 0.5 g sample was digested in aqua regia and diluted volumetrically to 250 mL with 18-megaohm water. Certified reference materials for the appropriate elements were digested in the same manner and used as verification standards.

Sampling Notice

Grab samples are selective in nature and are not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted on the property.

Go-Forward

Work is ongoing, including prospecting, structural analysis, and the results from the newly acquired airborne geophysical dataset, is expected to be instrumental in developing and refining drill targets for a proposed winter diamond drill program at Bonanza Ridge.

Wescan Energy Rig Releases Multilateral Well in the Provost Area

Thu, 24 Sep 2026 07:00:00 MDT

Calgary, Alberta – September 24th, 2026 – TheNewswire – Wescan Energy Corp. (TSXV: WCE) ("Wescan" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that drilling of its Wescan 105 Provost 15-21-38-3 multilateral horizontal well in the Provost area of east-central Alberta has been completed successfully. The well was drilled from spud to total depth in 13 days, with seven horizontal legs totaling 6,159 meters drilled in the Rex Member of the Mannville Group from a single wellbore. The drilling rig was released on September 22, 2026. The well was drilled within the approved drilling budget and without any safety or environmental incidents.

The horizontal legs were geosteered using Pathfinder, an advanced geosteering program developed by Bitcap, which fully integrates the Company's 3D seismic interpretation with real-time drilling data. This integration allowed the wellsite team to position each lateral within the target zone with a high degree of confidence and was a significant contributor to the efficiency of the drilling program.

The well is Wescan's third multilateral in the Provost area. Completion and equipping operations are scheduled to begin immediately, with the well expected to be tied in and on production in October 2026. The Company will provide a further update once initial production results are available.

"When we announced this financing, we told our shareholders we would put the capital to work quickly and efficiently, and that is exactly what has happened," said Leo Berezan, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman. "The well is drilled, the rig is released and the budget is intact. Our focus now is on completing the well and bringing it on production. I want to thank our shareholders and debenture holders for their support."

"Seven legs and more than six kilometers of lateral in 13 days, on budget and without incident, is exactly the outcome we planned for," said Sarshar Ahmad, Chief Operating Officer of Wescan. "Having seismic and real-time drilling data integrated in one platform through Pathfinder gave us a clear picture of where every leg was sitting in the reservoir, and that made a real difference to how efficiently we drilled this well. The team kept it on schedule and within the AFE, and released the rig on time. Our attention now turns to completing the well and bringing it on production."

Selkirk Copper and SFN Engineers Collaborate on the Minto Mine PEA, Increasing Confidence in Restart Timeline

Thu, 24 Sep 2026 06:30:00 MDT

Vancouver, BC – TheNewswire - September 24, 2026 – Global Stocks News - Sponsored content disseminated on behalf of Selkirk Copper Mines. On September 22, 2026, Selkirk Copper Mines (TSXV: SCMI) (FRA: IO20) (OTCQX: SKRKF) announced the results of a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for its copper-gold-silver Minto Project located in Yukon, Canada.

Fifteen months ago, Selkirk First Nation (SFN) purchased the former Minto Mine out of bankruptcy, then partnered with the Frank Giustra-backed Fiore Group to form Selkirk Copper Mines.

Selkirk Copper is derisking the Minto Project through exploration, resource expansion, engineering, and mine planning, with the goal of establishing a 12-15 year mine life before a planned production restart in 2028.

“We’re very happy with the economics,” Scott Fulton, VP of Engineering, told Guy Bennett, CEO of Global Stocks News (GSN). “Our engineers and mine planners have been working collaboratively throughout the PEA with a team of engineering consultants hired independently by The Selkirk First Nation.”

“This is a robust, complete and comprehensive review of all aspects of the mine design, processing plant and infrastructure engineering,” added Fulton. “All costs have been built up from first principles over the Capex, Opex and Susex periods. Certain pre-capex costs are not included in the PEA economic model. We estimate these costs to be about $20 million.”

Because of key operational and financial variables, the SCMI PEA baseline economics are conservative. For instance, the headline Net Present Value (NPV) number (C$494 million) is based on a copper “planning price” of $5.00/lb.

At the current copper price of US$6.50/lb, the after-tax NPV more than doubles to C$1.023 billion. Consensus copper price projections indicate a long-term upward trend, driven by green energy electrification, AI data centre demand and mine-supply deficits. A hypothetical $1/lb increase to $7.50/lb adds another $362 million to the projected NPV.

The 98%-complete 50,000-metre Phase 2 drill program is also completely excluded from the PEA economics.

The September 22, 2026 PEA outlines a potential pathway to developing a longer-life operation with additional copper-gold-silver concentrate production, dependent on further exploration success.

“Working with the SFN helps to give our group legitimacy with regulators and government entities,” stated Fulton. “Any proposal or application we make comes with rigorous, independent third-party due diligence.”

“The PEA confirms that we have a pathway to put the Minto Mine back into production, with a low capital expenditure (capex),” added Fulton. “A 13-year mine plan is a good start. There is potential to the north and south of the Minto Mine that I believe could turn this into a multi-decade project.”

Readers are cautioned that the PEA is preliminary in nature and includes Inferred Mineral Resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied that would enable these resources to be categorized as Mineral Reserves. There is no certainty that the projections in the PEA will be realized. Mineral Resources which are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

“Over the past 12 months, the team has delivered exceptional results across all aspects of our restart plan, from resource discovery, expansion and definition, resource modelling, integrated mine planning, project definition, engineering and design, capital and operating cost estimation, permitting, and Selkirk First Nation engagement,” stated M. Colin Joudrie, President & CEO, in the press release.

“The positive economics described in the PEA create the platform for the Company to pursue a restart decision at the completion of a Feasibility Study and permit amendment receipt in H2-2027 with targeted first concentrate production by H2-2028.”

The initial capital costs (Capex) of the Project, including working capital requirements, owner’s costs, and contingency commensurate for the level of study, is estimated to be C$186 million. Pre-capex costs, not included in the PEA, are estimated to be about $20 million.

The after-tax payback period from first production is approximately 1.9 years.

Sustaining capital costs (Susex) over the life of mine is estimated to be C$409 million, including a scoping-level estimate of closure and rehabilitation.

Operating costs (Opex) over the life of mine are estimated at C$1,764 million.

At Spot Prices of US$6.50/lb copper, US$4,300/oz gold and US$65/oz silver, the internal rate of return (IRR) increases from 47.8% to 78.2%, and the after-tax payback period from first production reduces from 1.9 years to 1.3 years.

In descending order, the Minto Project restart economics are most sensitive to:

i) copper price
ii) CAD:USD foreign exchange rate
iii) copper recovery
iv) gold price
v) operating costs.

Detailed assessments by Selkirk Copper and third-party experts show that most surface infrastructure is in good working order. Repairs and refurbishments have been ongoing since Q3 2025 to keep the upcoming capital expenditure phase focused on critical path items.

The updated 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate reveals a massive 182% increase in contained metals over the 2025 estimate.

“The level of detail developed in the PEA study, including integrated mine plans, equipment definition, and detailed capital, operating and sustaining cost estimations, has increased our confidence in our ability to deliver on our focused restart timeline,” stated Joudrie.

West Red Lake Gold Reports 176.04 g/t gold over 5.3 metres as Madsen Drills Advance into Previously Unmined Material

Thu, 24 Sep 2026 06:30:00 MDT

Vancouver, BC – TheNewswire - September 24, 2026 – Global Stocks News - Sponsored content disseminated on behalf of West Red Lake Gold. On September 22, 2026, West Red Lake Gold Mines (TSXV: WRLG) (OTCQB: WRLGF) reported drill results from its 100% owned Madsen Mine, in Northwestern Ontario, Canada.

“The mineralized panels within the 904 and 955 complexes are holding together quite well with strong grades and continuity demonstrated across multiple areas,” stated Will Robinson, VP of Exploration, in the September 22, 2026 press release.

“We are pleased to announce another round of impressive assay results from our ongoing underground definition drill program at Madsen,” stated Robinson, “These results continue to build our confidence in the geological model and the potential for these areas to be integrated into the Madsen mine plan in 2027.”

“Importantly, these complexes are located close to existing underground infrastructure,” added Robinson, “with the 904 complex representing non-remnant mineralization, meaning we are now advancing into fresh, previously unmined material, providing additional flexibility as we continue to define and advance mining inventory.”

The results from Austin 904 Complex reported herein were all drilled from the 13 and 14 Levels of the Madsen Mine at approximately 650 metres (m) and 700m depth, respectively.

The results from the Austin 955 Complex were drilled from the 12 Level of the Madsen Mine at approximately 600m depth. These 955 results are in addition to those announced on July 7, 2026, which highlighted 43.48 g/t Au over 3.85m and 53.87 g/t Au over 3.1m.

The Austin 904 represents a unique opportunity within the Madsen deposit, comprising an approximately 200m by 200m panel of intact gold mineralization that was not historically mined.

This is rare for the Madsen deposit and puts WRLG in a favourable position to access the entire mineralized zone for mining, which is expected to result in larger stopes and increased efficiency during design and extraction.

*The “From-To” intervals in Table 1 denote the overall downhole length of the intercept. The gold assay results presented are uncapped values. True thickness has not been calculated for these intercepts but is expected to be ≥ 70% of downhole length based on intercept angles observed in the drill core. Internal dilution for composite intervals does not exceed 1m for samples grading <0.1 g/t Au.

The current underground drilling program at the Madsen Mine focuses on further defining the near-term mining inventory and growing the current mineral resource. Drilling has been focused on the more continuous and higher-grade portions of the Austin and South Austin Zones. This strategy is expected to continue through 2026.

True thickness has not been calculated, but is expected to be ≥ 70% of downhole length based on intercept angles observed in the drill core.[1]

West Red Lake Gold is pursuing a hub-and-spoke growth strategy. The Madsen mill and infrastructure are intended to serve as a central processing hub for multiple past-producing, high-grade deposits across the Red Lake District, which could eventually include the Starratt-Olsen Mine.

This multi-asset approach is designed to provide greater operational flexibility, expand margins, extend mine life, and support a larger production profile over time.

As WRLG begins accessing the higher-grade non-remnant mining areas at Madsen, the company’s Q2, 2026 financial and operating results reported that Q2 gold production increased 51% over Q1 to 8,576 ounces, while gold sales increased 34% to 8,260 ounces.

Another of WRLG’s key spokes is the satellite Rowan Project, located within trucking distance of the Madsen mill. On June 9, 2026, WRLG announced an updated 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for the Rowan Project, as well as a maiden MRE for the nearby Mount Jamie deposit, located 2 kilometres from Rowan.

Rowan Indicated gold ounces increased by 70% to 335,058 ounces @13.04 grams per tonne (g/t) gold, compared to 196,747 ounces @12.78 g/t gold in the 2025 MRE (See news release dated June 9, 2026 and July 22, 2026).

Rowan Inferred gold ounces increased by 52% to 179,029 oz grading 15.31 g/t Au, compared to 421,181 tonnes containing 118,155 oz grading 8.73 g/t Au in the 2025 MRE.

Minimal exploration expenditure of C$3.5 million, combined with low drilling of 6,300 metres, represented a modest discovery cost of approximately C$17.60/oz gold.

Grafton Resources Enters Into Exclusive Option Agreement to Acquire 100% of the Poseidon Gold-Silver-Copper and Jabali Gold Projects in Chile from Newmont

Thu, 24 Sep 2026 05:00:00 MDT

Vancouver, British Columbia – September 24, 2026 – TheNewswire - Grafton Resources Inc. (CSE:GFT; OTCQB: GFTFF) (“Grafton” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company, through its wholly-owned Chilean subsidiary Grafton Resources Chile SpA, has entered into an option agreement dated September 21, 2026 (the “Option Agreement”) with Minera Newmont /Chile/ Limitada (the “Vendor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newmont Corporation (“Newmont”) pursuant to which the Company has secured an exclusive option (the “Option”) to acquire 100% of the Poseidon Au-Ag-Cu exploration project, located in the V Region of Chile (“Poseidon” or the “Poseidon Project”), and the Jabali Gold exploration project (“Jabali” or the “Jabali Project”), located in the XI Region of Chile.

The Poseidon Project is adjacent to Grafton’s Alicahue Gold-Copper Project (“Alicahue”), creating an area of 14,383 ha of contiguous concessions. Data consolidated to date point to potential epithermal gold-silver-copper mineralization across the consolidated Alicahue-Poseidon exploration project area. Separately, the Jabali Project hosts high-sulfidation (“HS”) mineralization that is within Chile's Andean belt.

Poseidon Highlights:

Rock chip grades up to 234 g/t Au, and 1,500 g/t Ag at surface, within 2,350 samples
Mapping and rock chips confirm 15 km strike length of potential gold-bearing veins, with multiple identified anomalous outcrops.
Targets observed by Grafton for potential drilling.
~10 km of road access infrastructure

Jabali Highlights:

7 km x 3.5 km high-sulfidation alteration footprint across the Cerro Aguja and Jabali Este targets
228.9 km² land package which remains entirely undrilled.
Drill preparation infrastructure already largely completed.

Campbell Smyth, Chairman and CEO of Grafton commented: “I am extremely excited to announce a pivotal transaction for Grafton that gives the Company access to an exceptional exploration portfolio. Poseidon and Alicahue together represent an identified by Grafton epithermal vein cluster with gold-silver-copper mineralization potential. Jabali has identified potential high sulfidation mineralization that can be tested quickly. We look forward to moving quickly on work programs on both assets.”

The Poseidon Project

Location and Background

The Poseidon Project is located in Chile’s V Region of Valparaiso, near the towns of Petorca and Alicahue, and Santiago is approximately 250 km by road to the south. The Poseidon Project has good road access both to Santiago and to the port of Valparaiso.

Grafton geologists know the Poseidon Project area well, having worked in the area for several years. Remote sensing, and regional geological, geochemical, and geophysical data indicates that the Poseidon Project has the potential to host gold-silver-copper epithermal deposits. The Company believes that the combined Alicahue-Poseidon project could be the keystone for Grafton’s portfolio, bringing together a district scale epithermal system.

The acquisition allows near-term execution of a systemic exploration work program across Alicahue and Poseidon, taking into account important synergies between the two projects. Synergies are that the best gold and copper stream sediment anomalies in the BRGM survey are located on the boundary between the two projects. Also, BLEG data previously collated indicates best results in the two catchment basins at the Alicahue concession boundary. Furthermore, the BLEG data is coincident with a Cu soil anomaly within Alicahue concessions, trending north towards Poseidon.

Geophysical surveys including Drone MAG, Ground MAG and IP (gradient and pole-dipole) were completed. Geophysical results support the potential indicated by surface mapping and point to several chargeability anomalies. Grafton notes that geophysical coverage of the concessions to date has been partial, leaving several zones untested and presenting a clear opportunity for infill surveys.

A structural report prepared in 2024 by geological consultant Andreas Dietrich, who collected, processed and interpreted a set of 2,517 structural field data, interpreted most of the veins as regionally related to parallel systems of the Pocuro Fault Zone (“PFZ”) and proposed a kinetic model and created contour maps of the best potential veins. Dietrich’s report is a high-quality body of work, and his proposed targets represent a ready-made, untested pipeline for the next phase of drilling.

Exploration Target and Next Steps

Grafton has planned a systematic work program across the wider Alicahue-Poseidon concessions that will be completed ahead of drilling. There is significant work to do on the coincident BRGM SS, identified anomalies, and as-yet unmapped zones. Additional work will involve infill IP and Mag geophysics over untested grids to fill the gaps from prior work programs. To work up a principled ranking of drill targets appropriately scaled mapping and appropriately spaced sampling will be carried out over the full 15 km cumulative strike length of identified vein and breccia occurrences.

The Jabalí Project – large-scale high-sulfidation Gold exploration potential

Location and Tenure

The Jabali Project is located in Chile’s XI Region of Aysén, ~150km from Coyhaique and consists of 81 exploration concessions covering 228.9 km². Exploration concessions are road-accessible year-round, and the project benefits from an already constructed exploration camp, and drill-pad access near-completion. Targets for exploration are located between ~1,300 – 1,700 mASL. The Jabali Project area benefits from a very low population density and no identified indigenous land constraints.

Figure 5. Jabali location map

Geological Setting

The Jabali Project is set within the regional geology of prospective rocks of the Northern Patagonia massive that host a Jurassic – Cretaceous Belt, (152 – 86 ma) Ibañez formation, Katterfeld formation and Divisadero formation, comprising volcanic and volcaniclastic sequences. Later Cretaceous dome type intrusives, high level subvolcanics cut across the earlier sequences.

Structural features with NW and NE orientations dominate. The Jabali Project offers exploration potential via high-sulfidation epithermal gold mineralization spread across the Cerro Aguja and Jabali Este targets. These are comprised of a roughly 7x3.5km alteration footprints in Chile’s Andean belt.

Work Completed

Work completed to date at Jabali includes regional and prospect-scale detailed mapping, Hyperspectral (TerraSpec) mineral mapping, the collection of >1,000 rock-chip samples, plus soil and stream-sediment surveys. Drone Magnetic surveys have been completed surveys (~28 km²) and initial IP lines.

Each Unit is comprised of one ordinary share of the Company (a “Share”) and one-half of a non-transferable share purchase warrant (each full share purchase warrant, a “September Warrant”). Each full September Warrant grants the holder the right to purchase, for a period of 24 months from the date of closing, one additional Share (a “September Warrant Share”) at a price of C$1.29 per September Warrant Share.

“We are pleased with the strong investor support that allowed us to upsize this financing to C$34.24 million,” said Matthieu Bos, CEO of Falcon. “This capital raise advances two priorities in parallel: our proposed acquisition of a minority interest in an established, arm’s-length anode material producer, which is a natural complement to our core CSPG strategy, and the continued build-out of our flagship project in Morocco. We thank our shareholders, including La Mancha and AOF, for their continued confidence as we execute on our strategy to become a vertically integrated, global supplier of critical battery materials.”

The proceeds from the Private Placement will be used to fund (i) the previously announced potential acquisition of a strategic minority interest in an existing, arm’s-length anode material producer in China, on the basis of a term sheet entered into between the parties on August 6, 2026 (the “Potential Acquisition”); (ii) the Company’s growth plan in Morocco and internationally; and (iii) general working capital requirements. All securities issued under the Private Placement will be subject to a statutory four-month hold period in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws until January 24, 2027.

The acquisition by AOF Trading LLC (“AOF”) of 15,000,000 Units will result in AOF being deemed an insider of the Company. Accordingly, AOF’s subscription in respect of 3,350,000 Units of such 15,000,000 Units closed in escrow pending clearance of the required Personal Information Forms by the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSX-V”).

None of the Units, the Shares, the September Warrants, nor the September Warrant Shares have been, nor will be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), or any U.S. state security laws, and the Units, the Shares, the September Warrants and the September Warrant Shares may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration under the U.S. Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws or compliance with requirements of an applicable exemption therefrom. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in the United States, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. No commissions were paid in connection with the Private Placement.

The issuance of Units in connection with the Private Placement to La Mancha Investments S. à r. l., an insider of the Company, is considered a related party transaction within the meaning of Policy 5.9 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions of the TSX-V and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. The Company is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements, as neither the fair market value of the securities being issued to insiders, nor the consideration being paid by such insiders, exceeds 25% of the Company’s current market capitalization.

The Private Placement remains subject to receipt of the final approval from the TSX-V.

AOF-Related Disclosure Required under the Early Warning System

Immediately prior to the Private Placement, AOF owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, 8,333,334 Shares and 8,333,334 share purchase warrants (“February Warrants”, and collectively with September Warrants, “Warrants”), representing approximately 4.87% of the issued and outstanding Shares on a non-diluted basis and 6.82% on a fully diluted basis.

As part of the Private Placement, AOF acquired 15,000,000 Units (with 3,350,000 Units in escrow as noted above) directly from the Company for aggregate consideration of C$15,000,000.

Immediately after the completion of the Private Placement, including the release of the 3,350,000 Units in escrow (assuming clearance of the required Personal Information Forms by the TSX-V), AOF will have ownership and control over 23,333,334 Shares and 15,833,334 Warrants, representing approximately 11.37% of the issued and outstanding Shares on a non-diluted basis and 13.25% on a fully diluted basis.

AOF acquired the Units for investment purposes and not with a view to materially affecting control of the Company. Depending upon market conditions and other factors, AOF may, from time to time, acquire or dispose of additional securities of Falcon through market transactions, private agreements or otherwise.

This portion of this press release is being issued pursuant to National Instrument 62-103 – The Early Warning System and Related Take-Over Bid and Insider Reporting Issues. A copy of AOF’s early warning report with respect to the Private Placement will be filed on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) promptly, and, in any event, within two business days from the date hereof.

September 24th, 2026 – Vancouver, BC, Canada – TheNewswire - Radiant Uranium Corp. (the “Company” or “Radiant Uranium”) (CSE: RUC, OTCQB: RUCCF, FWB: V0O0) provides the following corporate update.

In parallel with its acquisition strategy, the Company is advancing exploration planning at its Key Lake Road and Gorilla Lake uranium projects. Proposed work referenced in this release includes permitting, line cutting, induced polarization surveys and diamond drilling at Key Lake Road, together with ground truthing and drill permitting at Gorilla Lake. These programs remain subject to required permitting, consultation and final exploration planning.

On August 5th, 2026, the Company changed its name from Kirkstone Metals Corp. to Radiant Uranium Corp. to more accurately reflect its exclusive focus on uranium exploration and discovery. The recent addition of the Cross Lake Uranium Project reflects the Company’s strategy of building a portfolio with exploration upside in the Athabasca Basin. Radiant Uranium continues to evaluate additional acquisition opportunities while advancing exploration activities across its existing project portfolio.

Concurrently, the Company transitioned from the TSX Venture Exchange to the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”). Management believes the CSE provides a more entrepreneurial platform for Radiant Uranium’s current growth strategy and its objectives of evaluating and, where appropriate, completing additional acquisitions as the Company continues to expand its uranium project portfolio.

Radiant Uranium’s strategy is to combine the acquisition of uranium assets with systematic exploration of its existing Athabasca Basin portfolio. Management’s near-term objective is to advance the highest-priority targets toward clearly defined technical milestones while continuing to evaluate acquisition opportunities that can strengthen the Company’s uranium portfolio.

The technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Tim Henneberry, P.Geo., a qualified person as defined under National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, who is a director of the Company.

Total Metals Provides Update on Exploration Activities

Wed, 23 Sep 2026 08:50:00 MDT

September 23, 2026 – TheNewswire - Toronto, ON - Total Metals Corp. (“Total Metals” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: TT) (OTCQB: TTTMF) (FSE: O4N) is pleased to provide an update on recent exploration activities on its exploration properties in Northwestern Ontario.

President and CEO, Andrew Ramcharan stated, “Total Metals is advancing its flagship High Lake asset, one of the most compelling growth opportunities in its portfolio. Planned work includes expansion and infill drilling designed to scale the existing mineral resource, supported by regional programs aimed at refining future drill targets. The Company is fully permitted and funded to execute its 2026 drilling program.”

High Lake and Menary Field Activities

The Company’s technical team of geologists completed a program of reconnaissance field investigation and sampling at two of the company’s exploration properties; High Lake and Menary located near Kenora in Northwestern Ontario. Where surface rock exposure was adequate, an attempt was made to obtain a representative chip sample across the vein or mineralized feature. Grab samples were only taken if the structure was not fully exposed or because of the limits of the rock exposure. All samples were submitted for analysis and will be reported shortly after results have been received.

At High Lake, the team visited the Purdex zone which contains an existing current mineral resource as well as other occurrences at the western part of the property that have seen varying levels of historic work. All-season drill access to both areas has been confirmed. A total of 9 mineralized samples were taken at various property occurrences. At the Purdex area, observations and structural measurements support a working model that the orebody is orientated at a steep plunge to the northwest at the confluence of intersecting structures. This working model will be tested in an upcoming drill program.

At the Menary property, all-season drill access was confirmed by the team and historic high-grade gold trenches and pits were located. Historic trenched and pitted zones were investigated to fully understand the orientation of quartz vein structures in order to inform drill planning. A total of 11 variably mineralized quartz vein samples were collected including one containing visible gold.

Next Steps

Over the coming weeks, the Company expects to achieve key milestones across its exploration portfolio, significantly accelerating project development:

Initiate drilling on the Purdex Zone at High Lake
Submit a series new early exploration permits at High Lake for drilling that will support the next stage of target evaluation and growth
Upon completion of a high-resolution airborne magnetics survey, prepare and submit an early exploration permit for Menary
At Pick Lake, planning is under way to initiate a gravity survey to identify new additional targets in addition to near surface targets identified within the forint of the historic resource
Near-term planned activity for West Hawk Lake includes core re-logging and infill sampling as well as well as further evaluation of property geologic ahead of eventual preparation of an exploration permit.

Qualified Person

Robert Penczak, M.Sc., P.Geo (Ontario), Vice President of Exploration for the Company and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information used in this news release.

Canary Gold to Participate in CEM's Muskoka Capital Event

Wed, 23 Sep 2026 08:25:00 MDT

Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - September 23, 2026 – Canary Gold Corp. (CSE: BRAZ; OTCQB: CNYGF; Frankfurt: K5D) (“Canary Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce its participation in the Muskoka Capital Event, hosted by CEM (Capital Event Management Ltd.), taking place September 25–27, 2026, at the JW Marriott The Rosseau Muskoka Resort & Spa in Muskoka, Ontario.

The Muskoka Capital Event connects companies with institutional investors, portfolio managers, investment advisors, family offices and high-net-worth investors from across North America through pre-scheduled one-to-one meetings.

Mark Tommasi, President of Canary Gold, will represent the Company in 18 scheduled, 20-minute meetings. According to CEM, approximately 47 companies and more than 55 investors are expected to participate in its final Capital Event of 2026.

Canary Gold will showcase its district-scale gold exploration opportunity in Brazil’s Madeira River region and the progress made in evaluating the Jaci Paraná paleochannel target. The Muskoka event provides an opportunity to connect directly with investors as the Company builds on encouraging geological evidence and advances its staged approach to technical validation.

Since participating in CEM’s July event, Canary has reported independent laboratory observations that strengthen the rationale for further exploration. As announced on August 14, 2026, Overburden Drilling Management Limited identified visible gold grains in gravity concentrates from 29 of 30 consecutive one-metre RC samples from hole RC-0032.

“We believe Canary offers investors a compelling early-stage exploration opportunity in Brazil’s Madeira River region,” said Mark Tommasi, President of Canary Gold. “Our work has identified encouraging geological evidence and a clear path for testing the potential we see. We look forward to sharing our progress at Muskoka and explaining how whole-sample testwork and proposed sonic drilling can help us evaluate that opportunity and guide our next investment in exploration.”

Canary’s staged validation pathway includes whole-sample gravity concentration and tails-leach testing, followed by proposed focused sonic drilling and controlled sampling. The visible-gold observations are qualitative and do not establish sample head grades or grade continuity beyond the sampled hole. Concentration and leach results remain indicative and cannot, on their own, establish representative project grades, continuity or economic viability. Sonic sampling remains subject to technical review, contracting, access, permitting and funding. No mineral resource or mineral reserve has been defined, and economic viability has not been demonstrated.

About Canary Gold Corp.

Canary Gold Corp. is a Canadian public exploration company focused on the acquisition and advancement of gold projects in Brazil. The Company holds an option to earn up to a 70% undivided interest in the Rio Madeira Project through a series of staged exploration expenditures and milestone payments.

The total consideration of CAD $1.7 million has been satisfied through staged cash and share payments.

Talisman retains a 1.0% net smelter return (NSR) royalty on future production from the acquired tenements, one-half of which (reducing the NSR to 0.5%) may be repurchased by the Company at any time for CAD $1.0 million.

These interests support Canary Gold’s regional exploration strategy in the Madeira River region of Rondônia State, Brazil.

Havana Roasters Coffee Opens Hollywood Flagship Café

Wed, 23 Sep 2026 06:00:00 MDT

The Havana Roasters Coffee Cuban Bakery & Sandwich Bar — the brand’s first licensed retail location and the operating template for planned expansion — is now serving customers.

HOLLYWOOD, CA – TheNewswire - Sept. 23, 2026 - Havana Roasters Coffee Companies Inc. (“HRC” or the “Company”) (OTC: THRC) announces that its first licensed Havana Roasters Coffee Cuban Bakery & Sandwich Bar in Hollywood, California is now open to the public. The café opened in a phased “soft” format, with a formal grand opening celebration to be announced.

The opening turns more than two years of lease acquisition, design, permitting, and build-out into an operating, revenue-generating store — the first under HRC’s license to HRC Hospitality Corp., through which the Company earns licensing fees and holds an equity stake.

An Authentic Ventanita in the Heart of Hollywood

The flagship brings an authentic Cuban Ventanita experience to a modern café: the Company’s artisan-roasted cafecito, colada, cortadito, and café con leche; a scratch bakery making pastelitos and traditional desserts on site; and a sandwich bar serving Cuban classics built to order. A walk-up window is designed to extend service into evening and late-night hours on one of the busiest corridors in the Hollywood Hills Franklin Village area of Los Angeles.

Flagship Hollywood Location

The café is operating with a limited menu and controlled volume while the team fine-tunes systems and training under real customer conditions, with the full menu and extended hours to follow.

“We didn’t spend two years building this store to open it quietly — we opened it carefully,” said Gabriel Martinez, Chairman and CEO. “Miami taught the country what Cuban coffee is. Hollywood is where we introduce it to the rest of the world — one window, one cup, and one customer at a time.”

What the Opening Means for Shareholders

The opening marks a structural change for the Company: the HRC brand is no longer only licensed, roasted, and distributed, but experienced directly by consumers — and contributing through licensing fees and equity participation. Management believes the flagship advances four strategic objectives:

Proof of concept — validating consumer appeal beyond South Florida, in the nation’s second-largest media market.
A replicable template — the standardized format required for a credible franchise offering.
A product laboratory — a venue to test packaged goods, single-serve, and ready-to-drink concepts before wholesale commitment.
Brand visibility — a Hollywood flagship generating earned media and awareness that support every other channel.

Location: Havana Roasters Coffee Cuban Bakery & Sandwich Bar, 5931 Franklin Avenue, Hollywood, CA 90028. Current hours are posted at the location and on the Company’s website.

About Havana Roasters Coffee Companies Inc.

Copper Equivalent (CuEq) values shown in the tables for drill intercepts are calculated on the basis of US$4.50/lb for Cu, US$3,375/oz for Au, US$60/oz for Ag, US$25/lb for Mo, US$1440/t for Pb and US$2940/t for Zn, with 100% recoveries assumed for all metals (since it is unclear what metals will be the principal products, assuming different recoveries is premature at this stage). The formula is: CuEq = Cu % + (Au grade in g/t x (Au recovery / Cu recovery) x [Au price ÷ 31] / [Cu price x 2200 x 1%]) + (Ag grade in g/t x (Ag recovery / Cu recovery) x [Ag price ÷ 31] / [Cu price x 2200 x 1%]) + (Mo grade in % x (Mo recovery / Cu recovery) x [Mo price] / [Cu price]) + (Pb grade (%) × (Pb recovery / Cu recovery) × [Pb price ÷ (Cu price × 2200)]) + (Zn grade (%) × (Zn recovery / Cu recovery) × [Zn price ÷ (Cu price × 2200)]).The 100% recovery assumption is for illustrative purposes only and actual future recoveries may differ. Reported intervals are drill-indicated (downhole) lengths and insufficient data are currently available to state the true thickness of the mineralized intervals.

Disclosures

Historically on the Peñas Negras project, Metal Equivalents were reported in AuEq, but this exercise is calculated for CuEq as copper is more widely dispersed and is less variable in the project area. Metal Equivalent Grades are calculated from multi-element geochemical analyses of drill core, based on the combination of the primary metal grade with the relative price and metallurgical recovery of secondary metals in a polymetallic geological occurrence. Metal Equivalents (MEqs) simplify reporting of metal grades and are useful for comparison of drill intercepts within a specific project to guide exploration, or for comparison of grades in separate analogous deposits.

Given the considerable increase in commodity prices since 2021 when Sendero Resources Corp acquired the project, recalculation of the MEq is considered important to assign a more realistic value to drill intercepts. Metal Equivalent calculations are used with caution and are generally not acceptable for public disclosure in mineral resource estimates.

Ashley Gold Corp. Reports First Assays from Phase III Step Out Drilling, Cuts 0.478 g/t Au over 55.00m in TAK-26-14

Wed, 23 Sep 2026 05:00:00 MDT

CALGARY, ALBERTA - Sept 23, 2026 – TheNewswire - Ashley Gold Corp. (CSE: “ASHL”) (“Ashley” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide the initial assays from Phase III drilling.

Importance:

First step out assays received from Phase III drilling,
TAK-26-14 highlights bulk tonnage grades near the surface, between the 67Z and D99Z.

Next Steps:

Step out drilling is ongoing, with field updates expected.

Positioning:

5 Phase III holes remain pending,
7 Phase IV holes planned.

President Noah Komavli on the intercept; “The TAK-26-14 result comes at an excellent time, as we are actively drilling additional step out holes. The values are compelling and highlight gold grades near the surface, between the two most densely drilled zones on the Property. TAK-26-13 provided important data and supports a theory of the ridgeline in the property being related to the system’s plumbing. Additional data will be needed to determine the structural timing and its relation to gold precipitation."

Table 1: TAK-26-14 and TAK-26-13 Highlights

Results Discussion

TAK-26-14 was the farthest step out east from the 67Z to date, returning bulk tonnage values near the surface, expanding the strike potential of the 67Z over 50m.

TAK-26-13 was collared North of the 67Z anomaly and is interpreted as having intercepted the contact zone, which may have acted as a chemical trap for the gold to precipitate throughout the 67Z anomaly. Additional drilling North of the TAK-26-13 and on the North side of the contact zone, in the NTZ (grab samples up to 398 g/t Au), may be considered in a future campaign, to test the theory further. Additional data is needed to determine the exact structural controls in the area.

Quality Assurance / Quality Control

Analytical Procedures

Primary Gold Analysis (Code 1A2): All samples were pulverized and analyzed for gold content using Actlabs method Code 1A2. This procedure utilizes a standard lead-collection Fire Assay (FA) on a 30-gram sample charge, followed by digestion and an Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) finish. The lower detection limit for this method is 5 ppb.
Over-Limit Check Analysis (Code 1A3): For any sample returning a gold value exceeding 5.0 g/t Au under the Code 1A2 method, an automatic over-limit check was triggered. These high-grade samples were re-assayed via Actlabs method Code 1A3, utilizing a lead-collection Fire Assay followed by a direct Gravimetric (GRA) finish on a separate 30-gram charge to ensure absolute analytical accuracy for ore-grade mineralization.

Forward-Looking Statements

Fitzroy Minerals Reports Copper Recoveries of up to 82.6% from Mini-Column Testing, with Preliminary Larger-Scale Results Trending Higher, at the Buen Retiro Copper Project, Chile

Wed, 23 Sep 2026 05:00:00 MDT

Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - September 23, 2026 – Fitzroy Minerals Inc. (TSXV: FTZ, OTCQX: FTZFF, FSE: C3Y) (“Fitzroy” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce results from the initial phase of metallurgical test work completed by SGS Laboratories (“SGS”) at the Buen Retiro Copper Project, Copiapó, Chile (“Buen Retiro” or the “Project”). The test program is evaluating the response of the Project’s three principal geometallurgical units (“UGM” or “Units”) to heap-leach processing, to support the Company’s planned Heap Leach Development Plan. The distinct units, based on mineralogy and grade are high-grade oxide, low-grade oxide, and Mixed. Mini-column testing, the first stage of column-based testing, is now complete, while larger-scale 1-metre column tests are ongoing and are already trending above the mini-column results.

Highlights:

Mini-column testing confirms a favourable response to heap leaching across all three Units, with total copper (“CuT”) recovery of 71.8% (high-grade oxide), 59.9% (low-grade oxide) and 82.6% (mixed) after 21 days, with low-to-moderate net acid consumption (3.4 to 11.2 kg/kg) and excellent test reproducibility.
Preliminary results from 1-metre column tests are trending above the mini-column figures, still trending upwards, and pointing to further improvement in copper recovery as leach time and scale increase. Projections of the trend lines indicate column recoveries after 70 days of approximately 95% (mixed), 85% (high-grade oxide) and 74% (low-grade oxide). To determine the expected industrial Cu recovery, those results should typically be multiplied by a scaling factor between 0.8 and 0.9.
Favourable rock hardness (8 kWh/t, “soft”) and medium-to-moderate abrasiveness.
The addition of chloride during agglomeration and leaching was identified as an opportunity to optimize copper recovery and acid consumption.

Merlin Marr-Johnson, President and CEO of Fitzroy, commented: “These results exceed what we were hoping for from our first phase of metallurgical testing at Buen Retiro. Final copper recoveries of up to 82.6%, achieved with low acid consumption and excellent reproducibility across three separate Units in just 21 days, give us real confidence in the heap-leach case for the Project. Even more encouraging is that the more representative, one-metre columns are trending higher, pointing towards a final recovery of 95% after 75 days of leaching, for the Mixed material. Combined with soft, easily-crushed, moderately abrasive rock, this test work materially de-risks our path toward heap-leach production at Buen Retiro. The work is being done on a large number of samples and is statistically robust. We look forward to closing out the one-metre column balances this month, starting three-metre column testing in November, and reporting final metallurgical results in due course.”

Test Program and Sample Basis

Buen Retiro’s mineralization is classified into three principal geometallurgical units based on grade and mineralogy: high-grade oxide (CuT ≥ 0.5%), low-grade oxide (CuT between 0.2% and 0.5%), and mixed (characterized by the presence of tenorite, cuprite, native copper, chalcocite and green oxides).

Three composite samples (1,349 kg, 1,566 kg and 426 kg, representing high-grade oxide, low-grade oxide, and mixed, respectively) were shipped to SGS’s laboratory in Quilicura, Santiago, for metallurgical testing. In total 3,341 kg has been submitted which will be subject to 208 separate tests. The test program is designed upon a staged approach:

Iso-pH: 45 tests of 1 kg
Sulphation at laboratory scale: 66 tests of 2 kg
Mini-columns (40 cm x 4” diam.): 55 tests of 5 kg
1-metre columns (100 cm x 6” diam.): 30 tests of 30 kg
3-metre columns (300 cm x 6” diam.): 12 tests of 90 kg

At each successive stage the operating variables carried forward are narrowed in scope. In total, ten mini-column tests were completed (six across the high- and low-grade oxide Units, and four for the mixed Unit), together with hardness (Bond) and abrasiveness testing, and TIMA and XRD mineralogical analysis.

Mini-Column Results (Closed Metallurgical Balance)

The mini-column campaign has been completed, with a closed metallurgical balance. The head grades of the three composites tested were as follows:

High-grade oxide: 0.95% CuT, with sequential copper analysis of 0.68% acid-soluble Cu, 0.04% cyanide-soluble Cu, and 0.23% residual Cu.
Low-grade oxide: 0.35% CuT, with sequential copper analysis of 0.18% acid-soluble Cu, 0.05% cyanide-soluble Cu, and 0.12 % residual Cu.
Mixed material: 1.24% CuT, with sequential copper analysis of 0.67% acid-soluble Cu, 0.30% cyanide-soluble Cu, and 0.27% residual Cu.

Carbonate contents are relatively low, at 0.13% for the high-grade oxide, <0.05% for the low-grade oxide, and 0.44% for the mixed material.

The test feed granulometry was 90% < ¼ in. At 21 days of leaching, under the best treatment conditions tested for each Unit type, total copper recoveries of 71.8%, 59.9% and 82.6% were achieved, respectively, at specific acid consumptions of 4.9, 11.2 and 3.4 kg H+/kg Cu (Table 1). Duplicate mini-column tests returned copper extractions within 1 percentage points of one another (Table 2), confirming good reproducibility. There is no duplicate results yet for the mixed ore tests.

UGM	Acid, agglom. (kg/t)	NaCl, agglom. (kg/t)	Cl, leach (g/L)	Total Cu recovery (% CuT)	Net specific acid consumption, (kg H₂SO₄/kg Cu recovered)
High-grade oxide	20	10	60	71.8	4.9
Low-grade oxide	10	10	60	59.9	11.2
Mixed	30	20	90	82.6	3.4

UGM	Acid, agglom. (kg/t)	NaCl, agglom. (kg/t)	Cl, leach (g/L)	Total Cu recovery (% CuT)
High-grade oxide	20	10	60	71.78
High-grade oxide	20	10	60	71.91
Low-grade oxide	10	10	60	60.34
Low-grade oxide	10	10	60	59.40

Table 2: Duplicate results of CuT extraction at 21 days of leaching, mini columns (closed).

Recovery kinetics for all three units show two distinct stages: an initial, fast-leaching stage associated with more soluble oxidized copper species (azurite, atacamite and chrysocolla), followed by a slower stage attributable to more refractory species (copper in iron oxides, limonite, chlorite and dioptase), which is consistent with SGS’s TIMA and XRD mineralogical analysis. Because recovery curves for all three Unit types were still trending upward at 21 days, the Company expects further gains from extending leach time, as is already being tested in the 1-metre columns.

Figure 1. 21 day mini-column total copper recovery (final assays).

On a specific-consumption basis, net acid use for the high-grade oxide and mixed units averaged 4.9 and 3.4 kg H⁺ per kg of copper recovered, respectively. This acid consumption is low, and leaves room to extend the leach cycle to potentially lift copper recovery above 75% for those two units that represent most part of the resource. The low-grade oxide unit showed a higher specific consumption of 11.2 kg H⁺/kg Cu, which limits the benefit of extending leach time for this unit.

Chloride addition, in the form of salt (NaCl) during agglomeration and as chloride in the leach solution, improved copper recoveries by 3 to 5 percentage points in both oxide units, at similar acid consumption. Chloride addition, therefore, has been identified as a further opportunity to optimize the flowsheet. For the Mixed Unit, increasing the agglomeration acid dose from 15 to 30 kg/t raised recovery by 2 to 4.5 percentage points, at the cost of higher acid consumption (up to 52.7 kg/t or 3.4 kg H⁺/kg Cu); at constant acid dose, raising leach chloride concentration from 60 to 90 g/L improved extraction by a further 3 percentage points (79% to 82%).

1-Metre Column Testing Progress Update

Six 1-metre columns are currently in leach, comprising two of each Unit type. The test feed granulometry is P90 <1/2 in. The oxide units (C1401/C1402 high-grade oxide, C1403/C1404 low-grade oxide) have had 68 days of cumulative leaching, and the mixed unit (C1405/C1406) has had 53 days of cumulative leaching as at the date of this release. The metallurgical balance for these columns, which requires leach-residue analysis, has not yet been closed, and the results below are preliminary.

The best-performing columns for each Unit type reflect the NaCl-in-agglomeration and chloride-in-leach conditions that are expected to be used at plant scale. Chloride leaching is trending toward preliminary copper recoveries of 85% for the high-grade oxide (C1401), 74% for the low-grade oxide (C1403), and approximately 95% for the mixed unit (C1405).

Figure 2. Copper recovery of Chloride Leach Samples after 68 and 53 days (trends projected to 75 days), head analysis

At the same 21-day leach time and under equivalent treatment conditions, results from the 1-metre columns are close to, though modestly below, the mini-column figures (Table 2). This is consistent with expectations, since the mini-columns use a finer crush size (P90 = ¼″) than the 1-metre columns (P90 = ½″), and the 1-metre columns are being run at a lower leach ratio. At 21 days of irrigation, the leach solution application ratio is 4.0 m³/t for the mini-columns. At 70 days of irrigation, the leach solution application ratio reaches 3.6 m³/t in the 1-m columns for oxides and 3.2 m3/t for mixed ore.

When leaching is extended well beyond 21 days the 1-metre columns already exceed the mini-columns’ final 21-day recoveries, corroborating the improving trend seen in the mini-column data as leach time increases. This preliminary reading will be confirmed once the metallurgical balance is closed. For copper oxide, leach time appears to be relatively more important than the leach ratio, and the plant will therefore be designed to provide sufficient heap leach residence time to achieve the target copper recovery.

UGM	Mini-column, 21 d (closed)	1 m column, 21 d (in leach)	Reading at 21 days
High-grade oxide	72%	67%	Mini-column somewhat higher
Low-grade oxide	60%	62%	1m-column somewhat higher
Mixed	80%	76%	Mini-column somewhat higher

Hardness and Abrasivity

Hardness testing on representative samples from the Buen Retiro pit returned low values, with Bond Work Indices below 8 kWh/t across the lithologies tested, which is indicative of soft, low-competency material. This is favourable for the Project, implying lower specific energy requirements at the crushing stage and reduced mechanical demand on primary crushing equipment. Abrasivity indices for the same lithologies fall in a medium-to-moderate range, consistent with standard operating conditions, and suggest that wear on crusher liners, screens and conveying systems should be predictable and manageable using standard maintenance practices. Together, these results will have a favourable impact on the design of the Project’s crushing circuit. Measured densities were also above industry norms for comparable deposits, particularly for the massive-iron (“FeM”) lithology, which returned an average density of 3.67 g/cm3.

Conclusions

The initial phase of metallurgical testing at Buen Retiro confirms a favourable response of the Project’s oxide and mixed mineralization to heap leaching. The closed mini-column results (CuT recoveries of 59.9% to 82.6% at acid consumptions of 3.4 to 11.2 kg/t at 21 days of leaching) compare well with benchmark heap-leach projects, and the positive effect of chloride addition on extraction, observed across both the oxide and mixed units, provides a clear avenue for further optimization. Preliminary results from the ongoing 1-metre column tests corroborate these findings and, for the high-grade oxide and mixed units, point to further improvement in recovery as leach time and scale increase, subject to confirmation once the metallurgical balances are closed. Combined with favourable hardness and abrasivity, this test work provides a solid technical basis for advancing the Project.

Next Steps

Leaching continues on the six 1-metre columns, with metallurgical balances for these tests expected to be finalized at the end of September 2026. The Company anticipates completing its full 1-metre column test campaign by mid-December 2026 (30 columns starting soon), with 3-metre column testing (representative of industrial-scale operation) and ROM 10” columns testing expected to begin in early November 2026, or possibly earlier. The Company expects to complete the overall metallurgical test campaign and issue a final report by March 1, 2027. Results from this test work will be incorporated into the Company’s PFS for Buen Retiro, planned for release in Q2 2027.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control

The metallurgical test program was carried out under a documented quality assurance and quality control ("QA/QC") protocol prepared by SGS MINERALS S.A. and the Company's metallurgical team, in order to ensure the reliability and traceability of the results reported herein.

The samples composites were identified at source, sealed in tamper-evident containers and shipped under chain-of-custody documentation to SGS MINERALS S.A., Puerto Madero Nº9600, Pudahuel, Chile, a laboratory independent of the Company and accredited to ISO/IEC 17025, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018. Sample identification and condition were verified against the shipping manifest upon receipt. Sample preparation and mass reduction were performed in accordance with Gy's sampling theory to preserve the representativity of each sub-sample, and all testwork was performed on calibrated equipment subject to the laboratory's internal control program.

Head grades were determined in triplicate for total copper, together with sequential copper analysis (acid-soluble and cyanide-soluble copper), by AAS022D, AAS051D, SQL051D, SQL161D, SQLRES and AAS084T. Duplicate tests were performed on 10% of the metallurgical tests. Solution chemistry — dissolved copper, free acid, pH, total iron and ferrous iron — was monitored throughout each test, and metallurgical balances were reviewed progressively as data became available and reconciled prior to final reporting.

The control sample results were reviewed by the Company's metallurgical team and all control results fell within acceptable tolerance. Duplicate mini-column tests returned copper extractions within 1 percentage points of one another (Table 2), confirming good reproducibility. Mini columns mass balance closes within ±5%.

The composites tested were prepared from HQ infill drill cores selected to represent the high grade oxide, low grade oxide and mixed domains of the current mine plan, with a weighted-average head grade of 0.95%, 0.35% and 1.24% CuT. Column testwork on 1 m columns is ongoing and the results reported herein are preliminary in nature.

Andina Copper Intersects High-Grade, Near-Surface Copper in Step-Out Hole

Wed, 23 Sep 2026 05:00:00 MDT

200m from 82m at 0.65% Cu within 322m at 0.51% Cu

September 23, 2026 – Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - Andina Copper Corporation (TSX-V: ANDC | FSE: FIR | OTCQB: PMMCF) is pleased to report outstanding results from significant step-out drilling at its Cobrasco porphyry copper-molybdenum discovery located in Chocó, Colombia.

Drillhole CDH013 was collared on a new pad 350 metres (“m”) to the northwest of Pad 3 (refer previously reported holes CDH006 to CDH011; August 25, 2026 News Release) and intersected strong, near-surface copper mineralization from 74m downhole, considerably expanding the drill-defined mineralized footprint of the Cobrasco system to the northwest.

Drilling to determine the overall extent of the mineralized system remains ongoing, and further assay results pending.

HIGHLIGHTS:

CDH013 intersected:

322m at 0.51% Cu, 70ppm Mo, 1.6g/t Ag from 74m

including 200m at 0.65% Cu, 84ppm Mo from 82m

and 44m at 0.81% Cu, 110ppm Mo from 204m

CDH013 significantly extends shallow mineralization to the north-west and enlarges the drill-defined copper mineralized footprint at Cobrasco to approximately 1,300m x 550-700m.
Highest copper grades are associated with zones of high fracture intensity in microdiorites and magmatic-hydrothermal breccias developed along contacts with rhyolite porphyries.
The Cobrasco mineralized system remains open in multiple directions, with assays pending for three additional drillholes that were completed from the current drill pad. A fourth drillhole from the same pad is currently in progress.

Joseph van den Elsen, Andina Copper President and CEO stated:

"Drillhole CDH013 has intersected further high-grade, near-surface copper mineralization in a significant step-out to the north-west, extending the drill-defined footprint to approximately 1,300m by 550–700m. With assays pending from multiple drill holes and drilling now directed at the western extension of the high-grade mineralization intersected in CDH001, we look forward to additional near-term results which will help to define the full scale of the Cobrasco system.”

Geology and Mineralization

Drillhole CDH013

Hole CDH013 (azimuth 45°; dip −50°; final depth 554.40m) was collared on a new northern platform (Pad 15), located approximately 350m northwest of Pad 3. It was drilled northeast to test the northwestern extension of the Cobrasco mineralized system along a section oriented approximately perpendicular to the main interpreted mineralized trend.

CDH013 intersected a variably oxidized, supergene-leached profile extending to approximately 82m downhole and containing local remnants of hypogene sulfides. No significant supergene chalcocite enrichment was observed. Continuous hypogene copper sulfide mineralization commences at approximately 74m downhole and becomes stronger below approximately 82m, although minor oxidation persists locally to approximately 92–94m downhole. The principal mineralized zone extends to approximately 396m downhole and is hosted by microdiorites intruded by at least two generations of quartz-eye rhyolite porphyry. Magmatic-hydrothermal breccias developed along contacts between the rhyolite porphyries and the microdiorites. Copper mineralization occurs principally as chalcopyrite in disseminations, hairline veinlets and fracture fillings and is locally accompanied by molybdenite. Bornite is also locally present. Moderate chlorite–sericite alteration, in which chlorite is the dominant mineral, overprints earlier moderate to intense potassic alteration represented principally by secondary biotite, with magnetite locally present. Sericite–illite alteration also occurs as mineralized breccia cement and as alteration fronts ranging from tens of centimetres to several metres in width. Zones of high fracture intensity within the microdiorites locally host the highest copper grades intersected in CDH013. A highly fractured zone between approximately 170m and 282m downhole contains abundant chalcopyrite in veins, veinlets and fracture fillings associated with brittle deformation. This zone includes a higher-grade interval of 44m @ 0.81% Cu and 110ppm Mo from 204m, with an individual 2m sample returning 2.14% Cu from 226m. A separate individual 2m sample returned 2.20% Cu from 274m.

Below approximately 300m, copper mineralization generally decreases in intensity and becomes more sporadic but continues principally within quartz-eye rhyolite porphyries to the end of the hole. Microdiorites occur in restricted intervals and locally host higher copper grades. The overall decrease in copper mineralization is likely associated with a reduction in the intensity and continuity of sericitic alteration, which becomes increasingly restricted to halos with depth. Bornite occurs locally as fine disseminations and thin veinlets, commonly replacing chalcopyrite. A 6m interval returning 0.63% Cu from 376m is associated with disseminated bornite within a sericite alteration halo. Late anhydrite–chalcopyrite and polymetallic sphalerite–galena–chalcopyrite veinlets, together with gypsum, overprint the earlier vein generations. In broad terms, the quartz-eye rhyolite porphyries intrude the microdiorites, with emplacement of the rhyolite porphyries likely generating magmatic-hydrothermal breccias that subsequently became mineralized. Microdiorite fragments enclosed within the rhyolite porphyries in the lower portion of CDH013 support this interpreted intrusive sequence. The interpretation is also consistent with U–Pb zircon ages obtained from similar quartz diorite and rhyodacite porphyries intersected in drillholes farther south, including an age of 57 Ma for quartz diorite from CDH002 and ages of 41 to 43 Ma for rhyodacite porphyries from CDH001, CDH002 and CDH003. The occurrence of sphalerite- and galena-bearing veinlets, together with a coincident zinc-in-soil anomaly to the north, suggests metal zonation towards a potential northern periphery of the system. Ongoing drilling, geological mapping and surface geochemistry will continue to constrain the extent of the mineralized system.

Drillhole CDH012

Hole CDH012 (azimuth 225°; dip −60°; final depth 604.60m) was drilled southwest from Pad 15, in the opposite direction to CDH013, along the same northeast–southwest section.

CDH012 intersected a partially oxidized, mixed oxide–sulfide zone containing iron oxides and remnant pyrite and magnetite to approximately 52m downhole. Within this zone, a dark daci-andesitic to microdioritic porphyry occurs between approximately 7.4m and 9m, below which quartz-eye rhyolite porphyry predominates. Local narrow magmatic-hydrothermal breccia dikes are interpreted to be associated with emplacement of the rhyolite porphyries.

Below 52m, quartz-eye rhyolite porphyry is affected by weak sericitic alteration, principally developed as D-type veins containing pyrite and trace chalcopyrite. Between approximately 167m and 237m downhole, CDH012 intersected an essentially unmineralized heterolithic breccia of probable phreatomagmatic affinity, containing rhyolite porphyry fragments within a quartz-crystal-bearing matrix.

Below 237m, quartz-eye rhyolite porphyry is affected by weak sericitic alteration and contains only sparse pyrite–chalcopyrite–bornite veins. Silica–sericite alteration halos with associated sulfide mineralization begin to increase from approximately 300m and become more abundant below approximately 315–317m, coinciding with an increase in copper grades. This altered zone hosts the interval of 12m @ 0.41% Cu and 38ppm Mo from 350m. Below approximately 366m, silica–sericite alteration decreases considerably, accompanied by a corresponding decrease in copper grades within the assayed portion of the hole.

The generally lower copper grades intersected in CDH012 are interpreted to reflect the comparatively weak and discontinuous development of sericitic alteration, which elsewhere at Cobrasco is closely associated with much of the higher-grade copper mineralization. The overall grade profile is also influenced by the essentially unmineralized phreatomagmatic breccia intersected between approximately 167m and 237m downhole.

QAQC

CDH012 was collared with a PQ-size drill string and reduced to HQ at 83.3m and to HQ3 at 302.5m downhole, continuing to a final depth of 604.60m. CDH013 was collared with a PQ-size drill string and reduced to HQ at 62.0m and to HQ3 at 83.3m downhole, continuing to a final depth of 554.40m. In both cases, the drill core was extracted from the core barrel by the drill contractor under the supervision of Andina Copper personnel and placed in core boxes with appropriate depth markers (core blocks) and padding for additional protection during transport. Full core boxes were then strapped closed before being transported by helicopter and pickup truck to the Cobrasco core cutting facility in Quibdó. The drill core was cleaned where required, marked and photographed, prior to undergoing geotechnical and preliminary geological logging. All core segments were cut by diamond saw by Andina Copper technicians, other than the soft upper oxidized, near-surface intervals that could be cut and sampled using hand tools. All sampling was conducted in nominal 2m intervals with cut-lines marked by the supervising geologists to ensure representative sampling. Samples were placed in plastic bags with non-repeatable sample tags and bagged in woven polypropylene sacks ready for transport.

The core trays containing the remaining half-core are stored at the Andina Copper facility in Quibdó for additional technical measurements, including TerraSpec spectral analysis, magnetic susceptibility and rock-density measurements, and for follow-up detailed geological logging. From Quibdó, core samples were sent to the ALS sample-preparation facility in Medellín. Prepared sample pulps were then forwarded to the ALS analytical laboratory in Lima, Peru. ALS is independent of the Company. Samples were analyzed for gold using method Au-AA23, for multiple elements using method ME-MS61, and for overlimit values using method ME-OG62, including Cu-OG62 for copper. Coarse and fine rejects are routinely returned by ALS Medellín for storage at the Andina Copper storage facility.

The Company’s QA/QC program includes the systematic insertion of certified reference materials, coarse and fine blanks, coarse-reject duplicates and pulp duplicates into the sample stream. Each standard 80-sample submission comprises approximately 70 primary samples and 10 control samples, representing a control-sample insertion rate of approximately 12.5%. Control-sample results are reviewed on a batch-by-batch basis to monitor analytical accuracy, potential contamination and precision.

Note 1: CDH013 intervals were calculated using a nominal 0.2% Cu cutoff and a maximum internal dilution of 20m, consistent with the criteria applied to CDH004 and CDH010. The calculations are based on final assay certificates covering the complete hole. The reported CDH012 interval was calculated using the same criteria from assay results received to 398m downhole. Intervals for CDH001 to CDH011 are reproduced as previously reported and retain the reporting criteria described in the corresponding news releases. The previously reported 400m interval in CDH011 includes a 26m internal zone below the 0.2% Cu cutoff between 276m and 302m downhole.

TORONTO, Ontario, September 23, 2026 – TheNewswire — LAURION Mineral Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: LME | OTC: LMEFF | FSE: 5YD) (“LAURION” or the “Company”) is pleased to report assay results from drill holes LBX26-109 and LBX26-110 from its 2026 Phase 1 diamond drilling program at its 100%-owned Ishkōday Gold and Polymetallic Project (“Ishkōday”), located approximately 220 km northeast of Thunder Bay and 28 km northeast of Beardmore, Northwestern Ontario.

Phase 1 Drill Program and Progress

Through targeted infill, expansion and exploration drilling, LAURION’s 2026 Phase 1 drill program is designed to systematically advance the A-Zone, which may support the evaluation of a potential maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”). LBX26-109 and LBX26-110 tested targets associated with the River Shear, historical gold intercepts and modelled mineralized horizons, providing additional geological information from comparatively underexplored areas of the mineralized system.

LBX26-109 was designed to test an isolated chargeability anomaly in the footwall of the River Shear, while also testing along strike to the northeast of high-grade gold intercepts reported in historic drill holes 88-22 and K-56. The hole was intended to determine whether mineralization associated with these historical intercepts and the geophysical response continues into this comparatively underexplored area.

LBX26-110 was proximal to LBX26-109, drilled as a step-back from historic drill hole K-45 to test the River Shear and a mineralized horizon modelled from historic drill logs, while also testing the area associated with high-grade historical intercepts in drill hole M1. In addition to intersecting the anticipated River Zone, the hole encountered a 9.90 m gold-bearing interval from 205.70 m to 215.60 m associated with silicification of a shear zone and possible disseminated pyrite, as well as a separate 6.00 m gold-bearing interval from 238.00 m to 244.00 m near the contact with the pluton. These deeper intervals were unexpected and provide new geological information for potential follow-up evaluation in the future.

Building on the program to date, LAURION increased its planned Phase 1 drilling from 3,865 metres to 5,605 metres across 22 drill holes. The expanded program is being informed by SRK Consulting’s independent structural gap analysis of the A-Zone, which identified five priority target areas where additional drilling may address key gaps in the existing drill database and further strengthen geological understanding. LAURION is using this framework, together with ongoing drill results, to prioritize near-term drilling as it continues to systematically advance the A-Zone toward its potential maiden MRE. Specific targets, sequencing and timing remain subject to, among other things, ongoing results and available financing.

Qualified Person

The technical contents of this press release have been reviewed and approved by Dr. Trevor Boyd, Ph.D., P.Geo., a consultant to LAURION and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”). Dr. Boyd is independent of the Company within the meaning of NI 43-101.

Sampling and QA/QC Protocols

All drill core is transported and stored inside the core logging facility located at the Ishkōday Project in Greenstone, Ontario.

LAURION employs an industry standard system of external standards, blanks and duplicates for all of its sampling, in addition to the QA/QC protocol employed by the laboratory. After logging, core samples were identified and then cut in half along the core axis in the same building and then zip tied individually in plastic sample bags with a bar code. Approximately five or six of these individual bags were then stacked into a “rice” white material bag and stored on a skid for final shipment to the laboratory. All core samples were shipped to the ALS facility in Thunder Bay, Ontario, which were then prepared by ALS Global Geochemistry in Thunder Bay and analyzed by ALS Global Analytical Lab in North Vancouver, British Columbia. Samples are processed by 4-acid digestion and analyzed by fire assay on 50 g pulps and ICP-AES (Inductively Coupled Plasma – Atomic Emission Spectroscopy).

Over limit analyses are reprocessed with gravimetric finish. A total of 5% blanks and 5% standards are inserted randomly within all samples. 5% of the best assay result pulps were sent for re-assays. All QA/QC results were verified, and no contamination or bias was observed. The remaining half of the core, as well as the unsampled core, is stored in temporary core racks at the core logging facility in Beardmore before being moved to the core storage facility at the Ishkōday Project.

Note: QA/QC review of standards and duplicates indicates analytical results are reliable. One zinc standard adjacent to a high-grade zinc interval returned elevated values consistent with expected analytical behaviour following high-grade samples.

Red Canyon Provides Conclusions of Independent Vectoring Study and Exploration Update for its 100% Owned Kendal Copper Project

Wed, 23 Sep 2026 04:30:00 MDT

Vancouver, British Columbia - TheNewswire - September 23, 2026: Red Canyon Resources Ltd. (“Red Canyon” or the “Company”) (CSE: REDC | OTCQB: REDRF| Frankfurt: I91) is pleased to provide an exploration update for its 100% owned Kendal Copper Project located in west-central British Columbia. The Company has completed an extensive technical review and launched an expanded field program to aggressively fast-track expansion drill targeting.

Company Highlights:

Independent Vectoring Study Received: The Company has received a comprehensive, multi-dataset evaluation study focused on porphyry vectoring utilizing project-wide geophysics, geochemistry, and structural data. The independent evaluation identifies the project as highly prospective, and the untested Ridge Breccia and Express Corridor (K-Core) areas as high-priority within the Kendal porphyry system, with the interpreted potassic core of the system remaining untested by drilling.
The Company completed infill soil sampling targeting geochemistry across the Ridge Breccia, Express Corridor, 9East and FarEast target areas (Figure 6). Preliminary in-field portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) analysis continues to outline a significant trend of anomalous copper and other porphyry-indicator elements, with the strongest responses associated with the Ridge Breccia, Express Corridor, and 9East target areas.
Red Canyon has finalized a survey agreement with SJ Geophysics Ltd. to complete a project-wide, high-resolution three-dimensional Induced Polarization (“3DIP”) survey. The survey began in mid-September 2026 and is designed to improve the definition and prioritization of future drill targets across the Kendal system.
The 3DIP program will utilize SJ Geophysics’ proprietary Volterra Distributed Acquisition System and an advanced multi-line Diamond Array configuration to generate high-resolution three-dimensional models of resistivity and chargeability across the project’s principal target areas.

Wendell Zerb, the Chairman and CEO of the Company, states: “We are very encouraged by the conclusions of the independent vectoring study and the results of our expanded geochemistry program at Kendal. The study has significantly advanced our understanding of this large porphyry system and, importantly, identifies the Ridge Breccia and Express Corridor as central components of the system that have yet to be drill tested.

Our preliminary pXRF results also provide strong support for this interpretation, with a significant copper and porphyry-indicator geochemical trend extending across the project and the strongest responses occurring around the Ridge Breccia and Express Corridor. The combination of geochemistry, magnetics, conductivity and geological information from previous drilling provides a compelling framework for our next phase of exploration.

We are now advancing a project-wide 3DIP survey with SJ Geophysics to better define the subsurface chargeability and resistivity architecture of the Kendal system. This survey is designed to provide a much more detailed three-dimensional understanding of the system to help identify the highest-priority locations for future drilling.”

Red Canyon Projects

The Company holds a portfolio of seven 100% owned1 projects in British Columbia and Nevada. High-priority projects are Kendal in west-central British Columbia, Inzana (Osiris and Acheron) in central British Columbia and Scraper Springs in northeast Nevada.

Kendal Project

Kendal comprises five 100%-owned mineral claims totaling approximately 2,738 hectares located in west-central British Columbia, approximately 25 km northeast of Terrace, British Columbia. The project is situated within a well-established infrastructure corridor with access to highways, hydroelectric power, rail and port facilities. The main project area has direct logging road access approximately 8 km east of Highway 16, providing excellent access for exploration and potential future development activities. The project area lies within the traditional territory of the Kitselas First Nation.

Kendal hosts a large-scale copper-molybdenum-gold-silver hydrothermal system interpreted to extend approximately 4 km x 3 km. Previous drilling has tested only a relatively small portion of this system.

The initial diamond drilling in 2024 and 2025 identified widespread hydrothermal alteration and porphyry-style quartz-sulphide veining throughout the drill holes, with variable copper and molybdenum mineralization. Follow-up work in 2025, including detailed geological mapping, lithogeochemistry, expanded soil geochemistry, vein-density studies and airborne Mobile Magneto-Telluric (“MMT”) geophysics, further refined the geological model and identified multiple priority target areas.

Independent Vectoring Study

Red Canyon has received a comprehensive, data-integrated Technical Evaluation Report for the Kendal Project compiled by independent porphyry specialist Juan Soto (Geological Engineer/MBA Mining Management). The report synthesizes surface geology, rock and soil geochemistry (ioGAS), drill core Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) spectral mineralogy, and airborne geophysics to deliver a fundamentally revised geological model for the property.

The technical review concludes that Red Canyon’s initial 10-hole diamond drilling campaigns in 2024 and 2025 successfully tested the outer phyllic to phyllic-propylitic pyrite halo of the system, which explains the widespread anomalous iron and sulphur, but lower copper-molybdenum grades encountered to date. Importantly, advanced SWIR spectral vectoring tracking progressively increasing white mica crystallinity towards the east-southeast and trace element paths suggest that previous drilling closely approached, but has not yet penetrated, the true centre of the hydrothermal system.

The study defines the Kendal project as highly prospective, with highest-priority K-Core (Express Corridor) target area, an interpreted potassic core of the porphyry system. This area remains completely untested by drilling. The primary target zone is defined by a coincident approximately 600 m x 500 m multi-element soil anomaly, including bismuth, tungsten, tellurium, iron, gold, silver, molybdenum and copper, directly associated with a strong Remanent Magnetic Intensity (RMI) magnetic anomaly and a major subsurface high-conductivity body. The study suggests that this geophysical and geochemical overlap is characteristic of a developed, preserved potassic core potentially hosting copper-sulphide stockwork mineralization (Figures 3 and 4).

The independent technical evaluation integrated the following key datasets to reach its conclusions:

Geochemical Data: The evaluation analyzed surface rock sample geochemistry (~590 samples) and soil sample geochemistry (936 samples) combined with multivariate ioGAS processing of pathfinder elements including copper, molybdenum, bismuth, tungsten, tellurium, iron, gold, and silver. Downhole geochemistry from 10 diamond drill holes was also reviewed.

Geophysical Data: The study analyzed airborne RMI magnetometry to map magnetic signatures alongside MMT airborne geophysics to measure sub-surface resistivity and conductivity.

Mineralogical Data: SWIR spectrometer data from drill core was used to evaluate white mica absorption wavelengths (Al-OH) and crystallinity indices (2200X) to map hydrothermal zoning.

Geological Data: The study integrated surface geology observations and drill logs from the 2024 and 2025 diamond drilling campaigns.

2025-26 Soil Geochemistry Programs

In the second half of 2025, the Company completed a large-scale soil geochemistry program consisting of 252 samples to target areas with limited or variable rock exposure at Kendal (Figures 5 and 6). Copper-in-soil anomalism occurs over several zones within a 2.6 km x 0.9 km area. Within that area lies a 1.6 km x 0.8 km zone of moly-in-soil anomalism and several, mostly coincident zones with silver and gold-in-soil anomalism. Soil sampling identified several new anomalies, some of which have coincident conductivity features from the MMT geophysical survey results, that when combined, distinguish new high-priority targets.

Figure 5: 2025 soil geochemistry survey results with highlighted Cu anomalies as circles and Mo, Au and Ag contours, underlain by geophysical MMT resistivity raster at 200 masl emphasizing coincident low resistivity (high conductivity).

2025 soil samples were collected over a 200 m x 100 m spaced grid and preferentially collected from lowermost B-horizon of the soil profile.

To improve geochemical resolution and provide additional coverage across the Kendal system, Red Canyon recently completed an additional 98 soil samples to infill a 100 m by 100 m grid area, associated with the Ridge Breccia, Express Corridor (K-Core), 9East and FarEast target areas (Figure 6). In both surveys samples were collected using a hand auger to approximately 50 cm depth, below the organic-rich surface layer.

Preliminary field pXRF analysis has further outlined the significant trend of anomalous copper and other porphyry-indicator elements across the Kendal system. The strongest preliminary responses are associated with the Ridge Breccia, Express Corridor (K-Core), and 9East target areas. The Ridge Breccia and Express Corridor are closely associated with the K-Core zone identified as the priority target by the independent vectoring study.

The pXRF results are considered preliminary field screening data and are being used to identify and refine areas of geochemical interest. All soil samples have been submitted to AGAT Laboratories for analysis by ICP-OES/ICP-MS finish for 51 elements including gold, with assay results pending.

Ridge Breccia and Express Corridor

The Ridge Breccia and Express Corridor areas tightly overlap the K-Core area identified by the independent vectoring study.

The Ridge Breccia area is characterized by a combination of elevated copper and other porphyry-indicator elements, magnetic responses and geological evidence of hydrothermal brecciation and mineralization. The Express Corridor represents a major geochemical and geophysical trend interpreted as forming an important component of the Kendal hydrothermal system.

Ridge Breccia – This 0.4 km x 0.4 km zone is bounded by a northwest-trending drainage and a north-northeast-trending drainage, both of which are interpreted to be long-lived structures. The area has coincident elevated copper-moly-silver in soils. Campaigns of rock sampling suggest the area hosts brecciated volcanic rocks with highly elevated copper often with associated anomalous lead and zinc. Mineralization occurs with fracture-filled quartz/carbonate pyrite zones and within quartz veinlets. The zone is underlain by a moderate magnetic high, conductive feature and a coincident Th/K low.

Express Corridor – This 1.3 km x 0.4 km north-trending zone is defined and underlain by a linear conductive feature (Figure 6) and the southern half is characterized at the surface by highly anomalous copper, molybdenum, gold, silver and bismuth that is coincident with low Th/K ratios and low magnetic response in the magnetic analytic signal. The southernmost part of this zone is underlain by the 27 Zone, an area initially identified by chalcocite-bearing samples with 27.5% copper in rock grab samples. This zone has highly anomalous bismuth and tungsten in soil.

The preliminary pXRF results from the expanded soil program provide additional support for these areas, with the highest copper and associated porphyry-indicator responses concentrated within and around the Express Corridor.

Neither target has been drill tested, providing significant opportunity for follow-up exploration.

3DIP Survey

Red Canyon finalized a geophysical survey agreement with SJ Geophysics Ltd. to execute a comprehensive, high-resolution 3DIP survey at Kendal. Mobilization occurred mid-September 2026.

The primary objective of the 3DIP campaign is to generate unconstrained three-dimensional inversions of resistivity and chargeability across the project’s principal geochemical, magnetic and conductivity anomalies.

Unlike conventional two-dimensional IP surveys, the multi-line 3DIP configuration is designed to provide improved three-dimensional resolution and reduce distortions across lines, allowing the Company to better define complex and potentially deep-seated mineralization at Kendal.

The program utilizes SJ Geophysics’ proprietary Volterra Distributed Acquisition System to gather deep-penetrating subsurface geophysical data across the principal target areas. The survey features an advanced multi-line Diamond Array configuration, utilizing active receiver arrays of up to 2,000 m in length to collect full-waveform data both ahead of and behind each current injection point.

The custom-designed grid will span the main Kendal Creek drainage and comprise three north-northeast oriented lines spaced approximately 250 m apart on the east side of Kendal Creek, together with three east-to-northeast oriented lines positioned along ridges on the west side of Kendal Creek (Figure 8).

Current injections will occur at approximately 200 m intervals, with the flexibility to reduce spacing to 100 m over high-priority targets to maximize resolution.

The Company also intends to conduct a Magnetotelluric (“MT”) survey conducted concurrently during transmitter off-times. The MT survey would utilize high-sensitivity induction magnetometers to develop a complementary resistivity model extending to depths of approximately 1,500 m or more, potentially enhancing the Company’s ability to identify deeper targets beneath the known surface footprint.

Results with inversion modeling are expected in early Q4, 2026.

(“GERMANIUM MINING” OR THE “COMPANY”) (CSE: GMC; OTCQB: EMSKF; FSE: YW0) is pleased to announce that Summer Field Work, consisting of systematic and detailed mapping and sampling with an emphasis on the Laganière showing area, was completed. A total of 192 outcrops were mapped and sent to the laboratory a total of 115 rock samples that will be assayed for, among others, germanium, copper, zinc and gold. Another 5 samples were also included for quality control purposes for a total of 120 samples. The Company expects to get assay results by mid-October 2026.

Mario Pezzente, Chief Executive Officer, commented: “We have strategically expanded our 100% owned Lac du Km 35 Germanium property ahead of the active 2026 exploration season to allow for potential additional discoveries contiguous to the north of the Laganière showing that hosts the highest-grade Germanium sample in the Province of Quebec at 186 ppm. We are excited to receive shortly TDEM survey results with a goal of outlining new conductors in the vicinity of the Laganière Germanium showing on this highly prospective critical metal project. Germanium Mining Corp. is focused on unlocking strategic resources in stable jurisdictions, to potentially contribute to a more secure and resilient North American supply chain.”

Magnetic Airborne Survey Results

The survey covered the whole Property at a line spacing of 50 metres which allowed a clear and accurate outline of the Faribault Shear zone, particularly near the Laganière showing area. Towards the southern boundary of the property, an East-Northeast structure was also outlined transecting mafic and ultramafic intrusives, consisting of an assemblage of gabbro and pyroxenites. Both these areas, the Laganière Germanium showing and that East-Northeast structure were prospected in details.

The survey also highlighted a new East-West corridor that is approximately 3 kilometres long by 1 kilometre wide near the western edge of the property. This corridor within a low magnetic area represents a new sector prospective for gold. A short mapping and sampling program along this new corridor is expected to begin soon this Fall.

Electromagnetic Ground Survey Results

The immediate area of 1.4 kilometres by 1.4 kilometres surrounding the Laganière showing was surveyed at a line spacing of 100 metres and stations at every 25 metres. Strong conductors were outlined underneath the Laganière Germanium showing at depth. Modelling and interpretation of these conductors will determine their approximate depth and allow diamond drill targeting.

In addition, new and strong conductors were also defined on the southwestern portion of the electromagnetic survey grid. These conductors will be modelled and interpreted as well and represent potential drill targets. Surface expressions of these conductors were prospected during Summer Exploration Program.

Upcoming Diamond Drilling Program

Upon receiving assay results and interpretation of the ground electromagnetic survey, Germanium Mining will begin drill targeting and apply for drill permits. The first phase of diamond drilling will aim to reach the “discovery hole” stage. The campaign is planned to consist of 6 to 10 holes for a total of approximately 2,500 metres that is planned to be drilled early in 2027.

Current sample results returned approximately 0.02% (186 ppm) Germanium at the Laganière showing, currently the highest-grade Germanium sample in the Province of Quebec to date.

Lac du Km 35 Property

The 100% owned Lac du Km 35 Germanium Property is approximately 40 km east of the mining town of Chibougamau in the Nord-du-Québec region of Québec and offers excellent access via Highway 167 and a main logging road that intersects the Property.

The Property comprises the prominent Faribault Shear Zone (“FSZ”), oriented east-southeast, and located towards the eastern part of the Property. The FSZ dips to the south-southwest and ends to the Grenville Front which extends southwest-northeast for several hundreds of kilometres. The FSZ is a key structural feature that may connect with other permeable zones at depth, acting as a preferential conduit for hydrothermal fluids.

Discovered by government geologists in 1998 and never followed up, the Laganière Germanium showing consists of a peridotite outcrop within the Laganière gneissic Complex that comprises amphibolites and hornblende and biotite gneisses. The Laganière showing returned a value of 0.02% (186 ppm) germanium and is currently the highest germanium value ever reported from an outcrop in the province of Québec.

The Laganière germanium showing is also 450 m northeast of the FSZ, 800 m from the southern margin of the Duberger felsic pluton and approximately 2 km to the west of the Grenville Front. The area between the FSZ and the Laganière Germanium showing, including electromagnetic anomalies, was never drill-tested and will be the main focus of GMC.

About Germanium

Germanium is a hard, greyish and brittle metalloid. Germanium has many growing applications in electronics and solar, in fiber optics, and Infrared optics for civil and military uses. Germanium is in the list of critical metals in Canada, the United States and the European Union.

Since December 3, 2024, China, the largest producer of refined germanium, has banned germanium exports to the United States. Germanium is not an openly traded commodity and recent spot prices have germanium over US$5,000 per kilogram.

Philippine Consul General and Trade Commissioner joined Asiatel as Company highlights growing Canada–Philippines presence and next stage of international expansion

September 22, 2026, Vancouver, BC – TheNewswire – Asiatel Outsourcing Inc. (“Asiatel”, or the “Company”) (TSXV: ATOI), a Philippine-founded Business Process Outsourcing (“BPO”) and Knowledge Process Outsourcing (“KPO”) company, is pleased to announce that senior management participated in a Market Close Ceremony at the TMX Market Centre in Toronto on September 22, 2026, marking the Company’s recent listing on the TSX Venture Exchange.

Asiatel Chairman Shafi Aboobaker and Chief Executive Officer Jasjit Singh Anand (“Andy”) was joined by the Honourable Kristine Leilani Salle, Consul General of the Philippines in Toronto, and Mario Tani, Trade Commissioner with the Philippine Trade and Investment Center in Toronto, together with members of the Canadian investment community, shareholders, directors, advisers and other invited guests.

The ceremony follows Asiatel’s commencement of trading on the TSX Venture Exchange on July 14, 2026, and represents another milestone in the Company’s evolution from a privately held Philippine outsourcing business into a Canadian-listed international growth company.

Consul General Salle congratulated Asiatel Outsourcing for bringing pride to the Philippines. “Your listing is a testament to the global competitiveness, resilience and ingenuity of our IT-BPM industry. Thank you for setting an example of how Philippine companies in the IT-BPM sector can tap into Canada’s capital markets to access the resources needed to scale, innovate, and drive higher value services. It also reflects the alignment and complementarity between the Philippines and Canada."

Asiatel in the Canadian Capital Markets

Founded in Manila in 2006, Asiatel has grown over nearly two decades into an international outsourcing company employing approximately 500 people in the Philippines and serving clients across eight countries. The Company is now building beyond its traditional BPO foundation through higher-value KPO services and digital and AI-enabled capabilities.

Asiatel views its TSXV listing as more than a corporate milestone. The Company believes its Canadian public-market presence provides a platform to increase international visibility, broaden access to capital, support future strategic growth initiatives and strengthen its commercial presence in North America.

The Toronto ceremony took place amid ongoing development in economic and commercial ties between Canada, the Philippines, and the broader ASEAN region, alongside Asiatel’s international growth strategies.

Jasjit Singh Anand (“Andy”), Chief Executive Officer of Asiatel, commented, “Our TSXV listing represents the beginning of a new chapter for Asiatel. We have spent nearly two decades building the business in the Philippines, and we have recently entered the Canadian public markets, providing a new platform for the Company’s continued development.”

“Now our focus is on building from that foundation. Our growth initiatives include expanding our North American client base, developing higher-value KPO and AI-enabled services, and increasing our engagement with the Canadian market as business ties between Canada and the Philippines continue to develop.”

Connecting Canada and the Philippines

Representatives from the Philippine government and trade community also participated in the ceremony, reflecting the Company’s ongoing engagement across the Philippines and Canada.This supports Asiatel’s strategy of connecting North American businesses with the talent, expertise, and increasingly technology-enabled capabilities in the Philippines and across Southeast Asia.

Shafi Aboobaker, Chairman of Asiatel, states, “The Market Close Ceremony was an opportunity to recognize what our team has accomplished, but our focus is firmly on what comes next. We have built an established and growing operating business in the Philippines and now have the opportunity to combine that foundation with greater access to North American customers, technology, strategic opportunities and Canadian capital markets.”

“Having the Philippine Consul General and Trade Commissioner join us in Toronto made the occasion particularly meaningful. Asiatel operates across the Philippines and Canada, with its operating base in the Philippines and its listing on the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company’s strategy is focused on disciplined growth and long-term value creation for shareholders.”

Asiatel’s Next Stage of Growth

Asiatel’s strategy is focused on expanding the scale, geographic reach and value of its services through:

North American Expansion– growing Canadian and broader North American business-development activities;
