Copper One Resources Corp. Announces Closing of Non-Brokered Unit Private Placement for Gross Proceeds of $2,500,000

Wed, 24 Jun 2026 16:00:00 MDT

Vancouver, BC – TheNewswire - June 24, 2026 – Copper One Resources Corp. ("Copper One" or the "Company") (CSE:CEXY | OTCID:CEXYF | FSE:IW8 | WKN: A42AGR) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A.2 of National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions (the “LIFE Offering”) consisting of: (i) 2,875,000 non-flow-through units of the Company (each, an “NFT Unit”) at a price of $0.40 per NFT Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,150,000; and (ii) 3,375,000 flow-through units of the Company (each, an “FT Unit”) at a price of $0.40 per FT Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,350,000, for total aggregate gross proceeds of $2,500,000.

“We are thrilled with the continued support from our shareholders and new investors as we advance Copper One’s expanded North American copper exploration portfolio,” said David Greenway, President and CEO of Copper One. “With the closing of this financing, Copper One is funded to advance further exploration, including drilling at both of our Canadian copper projects, Redhill and Redonda, each of which was previously drilled by Teck Resources, while also remaining funded for our planned up to 10,000-foot drill program at our flagship Majuba Hill copper-silver-gold project in Nevada. This financing positions the Company to move forward with a focused, multi-project exploration strategy at a time when copper continues to play an increasingly important role in electrification, AI infrastructure, renewable energy and grid modernization.”

Each NFT Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company (a “Common Share”) and one common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional Common Share at a price of $0.70 per Common Share for a period of 12 months from the date of issuance. If the Common Shares close at or above $0.90 per Common Share for a period of five (5) consecutive trading days, the Company may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to 30 days following the date of such notice.

Each FT Unit consists of one Common Share that qualifies as a “flow-through share” within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (an “FT Share”) and one Warrant. Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional non-flow-through Common Share at a price of $0.70 per Common Share for a period of 12 months from the date of issuance. If the Common Shares close at or above $0.90 per Common Share for a period of five (5) consecutive trading days, the Company may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to 30 days following the date of such notice.

The NFT Units and FT Units issued pursuant to the LIFE Offering are not subject to a hold period in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.

The net proceeds from the sale of NFT Units will be used for exploration and drilling programs, property payments, and general working capital. The net proceeds from the sale of FT Units will be used to incur “Canadian exploration expenses” as defined in subsection 66.1(6) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and “flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures” as defined in subsection 127(9) of the Income Tax Act (Canada), and the Company will renounce such qualifying expenditures to the subscribers of FT Shares with an effective date no later than December 31, 2026, in an aggregate amount not less than the total subscription proceeds received for the FT Shares.

In connection with the closing of the LIFE Offering, the Company paid aggregate cash finder’s fees of $111,570.00 and issued an aggregate of 278,925 non-transferable finder’s warrants (the “Finder’s Warrants”) to eligible arm’s length finders, including Haywood Securities Inc., Ventum Financial Corp., Canaccord Genuity Corp. and Research Capital Corporation. Each Finder’s Warrant is exercisable into one Common Share at a price of $0.70 per Common Share for a period of 12 months from the date of issuance.

An Insider of the Company participated in the LIFE Offering. Such participation constitutes a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company is relying on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to subsections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) thereof, as neither the fair market value of any securities issued to such insider nor the consideration paid by such person exceeds 25% of the Company’s market capitalization, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101.

Water Tower Research Publishes Initiation of Coverage Report on BullFrog AI Holdings, Inc., "Helping Big Pharma Look Before It Leaps in Drug Discovery"

Wed, 24 Jun 2026 11:00:00 MDT

June 24, 2026, ST. PETERSBURG, FL – Water Tower Research (www.watertowerresearch.com) has published an Initiation of Coverage Report on BullFrog AI Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: BFRG) titled, “Helping Big Pharma Look Before It Leaps in Drug Discovery”. The report can be accessed here.

BullFrog AI Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: BFRG) is a Gaithersburg, Maryland-based AI company that is focused on the pharmaceutical R&D market. BullFrog uses AI to increase the success rate of drug development while reducing the time and investment it requires. The company commercializes a proprietary, end-to-end AI and ML platform that prepares biomedical data, identifies the biological drivers of disease, and supports development decisions. The platform targets a core inefficiency in drug development: bringing a new drug to market typically takes 10-15 years and $1-2 billion, and even then, roughly half of the drugs that reach Phase 3 still fail, often because developers picked the wrong target or could not identify which patients a drug actually helps.

Its core technology is a defensible competitive moat rooted in proprietary Johns Hopkins IP: an exclusive, worldwide license to three granted US patents covering the causal AI/ML engine, with protection running into 2037-2038. The technology was licensed from the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU-APL), where the underlying algorithms were first developed for defense work. Unlike many AI tools, the engine can explain how it reaches a conclusion rather than acting as a black box.

The product line is now complete and works end to end: bfPREP™ cleans and prepares messy research data in days instead of months, bfLEAP™ identifies the actual biological drivers of disease rather than mere correlations, and bfARENAS™, launched in March 2026, is a scenario-based decision engine that helps clients act on the findings, modeling different clinical, regulatory, and commercial paths so teams can evaluate the odds of success before committing time and money. The platform has already produced valuable discoveries, including work with Eleison Pharmaceuticals that identified a subgroup of patients in a Phase 3 pancreatic cancer trial associated with roughly a threefold improvement in survival, and discoveries of potential disease-driving genes and drug targets in MDD, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder through a partnership with LIBD, for which BullFrog holds commercialization exclusivity. In March 2026, a first deal with a top five global drugmaker marked a turning point, applying bfLEAP™ to MDD, a market valued at more than $8 billion in 2025.

BullFrog trades at ~0.8x 2027E and ~0.3x 2028E EV/sales on our estimates, well below peer medians of ~26x and ~29x, respectively. The company has a meaningful addressable market opportunity in AI-driven drug discovery and peers executing on their commercial pipelines command significantly higher multiples.

Asteroid Mining Could Help Solve Critical Mineral Shortages, Says Oregon Group Founder Anthony Milewski

Wed, 24 Jun 2026 09:55:00 MDT

New analysis examines how space resource extraction could address growing global deficits in copper, nickel, cobalt, and platinum group metals as demand from AI, electrification, and advanced manufacturing accelerates

Click Image To View Full Size

London, United Kingdom – TheNewswire - June 24, 2026 – Anthony Milewski, founder of The Oregon Group and a veteran investor in critical minerals, strategic metals, and natural resource markets, has published a new analysis examining how advances in space technology could fundamentally reshape the future of global resource supply chains.

The article, Space Mining No Longer Out of This World, makes the case that asteroid mining — long considered science fiction — is moving closer to commercial reality as terrestrial mineral supply chains face mounting pressure from surging demand driven by artificial intelligence infrastructure, electrification, advanced manufacturing, robotics, and the global energy transition.

Key Findings from The Oregon Group's Analysis:

Metallic asteroids may contain concentrations of nickel, cobalt, iron, and platinum group metals that dwarf the grade of any known terrestrial ore deposit
Launch costs have fallen dramatically over the past decade due to reusable rocket technology, significantly improving the long-term economics of space resource extraction
Global demand for copper, nickel, cobalt, and rare earth elements is projected to accelerate sharply through 2040 and beyond, driven by data center construction, EV manufacturing, defense systems, and clean energy infrastructure
Both government space programs and private-sector investors are accelerating funding into technologies that could support commercial resource extraction beyond Earth
Autonomous robotics and advances in spacecraft engineering are removing key technical barriers that previously made space mining economically unviable

"While commercial asteroid mining remains an emerging industry, the economic forces driving interest in the sector are very real," said Anthony Milewski, founder of The Oregon Group. "Investors are increasingly focused on where future supplies of copper, nickel, cobalt, and other strategic resources will come from as demand continues to rise. The gap between what the Earth can supply and what modern economies will require is not a distant problem — it is already shaping investment decisions today."

Milewski's analysis identifies several converging technological trends — including falling launch costs, reusable rockets, autonomous robotic systems, and improved spacecraft engineering — that are improving the feasibility of extracting mineral resources from space on a commercially viable timeline. The analysis also highlights that certain classes of metallic asteroids are believed to contain extraordinarily high concentrations of nickel, cobalt, platinum group metals, and other materials that are critical to modern industrial and defense economies.

"Whether asteroid mining becomes commercially viable in five years or twenty years, investors need to understand the trends shaping the future of resource development now," Milewski added. "The intersection of space exploration, critical minerals, and technological innovation has the potential to create entirely new supply chains and entirely new categories of investment opportunity. Waiting until the industry is mature to pay attention will be too late."

The analysis is part of The Oregon Group's ongoing research coverage of major structural trends affecting commodity markets, critical minerals, energy security, and the global resource landscape. Milewski and The Oregon Group have published in-depth research on copper, uranium, tungsten, helium, rare earths, cobalt, commodity supply chains, and the geopolitics of strategic resource competition. The full Oregon Group research library is available at theoregongroup.com.

Angkor Resources Initiates Diamond Drill Program At Andong Bor Copper-Gold Target, Cambodia

Wed, 24 Jun 2026 06:50:00 MDT

GRANDE PRAIRIE, ALBERTA (June 24, 2026) – TheNewswire - ANGKOR RESOURCES CORP. (TSXV: ANK) (“ANGKOR” OR “THE COMPANY”) announces that a total of 2,800 meters of diamond drilling is planned for the Andong Bor copper-gold target in Cambodia over the coming months. Drilling will focus on the Thmei North (“TN”) target, a one-square-kilometer copper anomaly.

The program is staged around the Cambodian seasons: an initial 1,200 meters in three holes is starting June 24 2026 to be completed during the current dry-season window with the balance of the program to follow in early 2027 once the fields are dry and the crops have been harvested.

DRILL PROGRAM AT A GLANCE

Total program: 2,800 meters of diamond drilling planned at the Thmei North copper-gold target over the next 8 months.
First phase: three 400-metre holes to be drilled starting June 24th 2026, before the heavy rains descend upon the Kingdom of Cambodia.
Second phase: the remaining 1,600 meters to be drilled in early 2027, once the fields are dry and the crops have been harvested.
Hole orientation: the three initial holes will be drilled to the east to better intersect the mineralized beds.
Core will be logged, photographed, and sampled, with selected intervals dispatched for assay as the program progresses.

THMEI NORTH — DRILLING TO THE EAST

The Andong Bor license is 100.28 square kilometers and straddles Oddar Meanchey and Banteay Meanchey provinces. Drilling completed in 2025 showed that the main structures controlling mineralization are north-northwest (NNW) striking and steeply west dipping. These three holes will be drilled to the east in order to better intersect the mineralized beds.

In this modified copper porphyry model, the best mineralization is found within potassic-altered sediments adjacent to feldspar porphyry diorite dikes of varying widths. The intrusive dikes vary in width from a few meters to tens of meters. By drilling to the east, the Company will maximize mineralized sedimentary rock interceptions as it drills through alternating lithologies of intrusive and sedimentary rocks.

Dennis Ouellette, VP Exploration, comments: “Our 2025 drilling told us how this system is oriented. The structures controlling mineralization are north-northwest striking and steeply west dipping, so by drilling to the east we put the core across the mineralized beds rather than down them. The best copper sits in the potassic-altered sediments next to the feldspar porphyry diorite dikes, and an eastward orientation lets us cut the most of that favorable host as we pass in and out of the intrusive dikes.”

THMEI SOUTH — NEXT STEPS

Thmei South requires further auger soil geochemistry to extend the existing copper geochemical anomaly southward and determine its full extent. Thmei South will be the focus of subsequent drill programs.

QUALIFIED PERSON:

Dennis Ouellette, B.Sc., P.Geo., is a member of The Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta (APEGA #104257) and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”). He is the Company’s VP Exploration on site and has reviewed and approved the technical disclosure in this document.

ABOUT ANGKOR RESOURCES CORP.

ANGKOR Resources Corp. is a public company, listed on the TSX-Venture Exchange, and is a leading resource explorer and developer in Cambodia working towards mineral and energy solutions across the country. The Company's mineral subsidiary, Angkor Gold Corp. Co., Ltd., currently holds two mineral exploration licenses in Cambodia with multiple prospects in copper and gold. Both licenses are in their first two-year renewal term.

Angkor’s Cambodian energy subsidiary, EnerCam Resources Co., Ltd., was granted an onshore oil and gas license in the southwest quadrant of Cambodia called Block VIII. The original 7,300 km² license was reduced to approximately 4,300 km² upon voluntary removal of parks and protected areas, subsequently adjusted through government remapping directed by the Ministry of Mines and Energy, and then expanded by 220 km² with the addition of the Kirirom Basin in the northeast, resulting in the current area of approximately 4,095 km².

EnerCam is actively advancing oil and gas exploration activities onshore to meet its mission to prove Cambodia as a nation with its own oil and gas resources. The Company completed 2D-seismic in 2025 and has identified multiple drill targets with multiple target zones. As it has completed an additional Environmental Impact Assessment on the drilling target areas, which is now submitted for approval by the Ministry of Environment, the Company plans to follow with drilling Cambodia’s first privately financed onshore exploratory oil and gas wells under a Production Sharing Contract.

Wed, 24 Jun 2026 06:30:00 MDT

Company highlights recent progress across its U.S.-focused tungsten platform and introduces Stocktwits as a supplemental channel for public company updates

24th June, 2026 – TheNewswire - Vancouver, British Columbia – Western Star Resources Inc. (CSE: WSR) (OTC: WSRIF) (FRA: 4K2) (the "Company" or "Western Star") is pleased to provide shareholders with a corporate update following a period of significant activity across the Company's critical minerals platform.

Western Star would like to thank its shareholders for their continued support. The Company has issued a number of recent updates, and management believes this is an appropriate time to help shareholders and interested investors better understand how these developments tie together, what has been accomplished, and where the Company is focused as it moves forward.

Over the past several months, Western Star has advanced its strategy of building a U.S.-focused tungsten platform at a time when tungsten continues to receive increased attention as a critical mineral for defense, aerospace, energy, and advanced manufacturing applications.

The Company's recent progress includes:

Closing an oversubscribed private placement and flow-through financing to support exploration, development, working capital, and market awareness initiatives;
Expanding and advancing the Rowland Tungsten Property in Elko County, Nevada, including the completion of Phase 1 exploration and a modern UAV magnetic geophysical survey;
Initiating drill-permitting work at Rowland through the engagement of KC Harvey Environmental, LLC;
Acquiring and outlining an exploration program for the White Star Tungsten Project, located adjacent to Rowland, creating a broader district-scale exploration opportunity in the Jarbidge-Charleston tungsten area of Nevada;
Acquiring a 100% interest in the past-producing Eagle Point Tungsten Mine in New Mexico, further expanding the Company's growing portfolio of past-producing U.S. tungsten assets; and
Submitting an application in response to a solicitation from the U.S. Defense Industrial Base Consortium related to the supply of strategic critical minerals.

Blake Morgan, President and CEO of Western Star, stated, "Western Star has had a very active period, and we believe the recent developments are connected by one clear strategy: building a meaningful U.S.-focused tungsten platform around past-producing assets, modern exploration, and the growing need for reliable domestic critical mineral supply. We appreciate the continued support of our shareholders as we advance this strategy. The company will have news regarding its drill permits, maiden drill programs and assays from current explorations programs over the next few weeks."

At Rowland, the Company recently completed Phase 1 exploration, including UAV geophysics, soil geochemistry, rock-chip sampling, and field checking of historical workings. The Company also reported results from its high-resolution UAV magnetic survey, which will be integrated with pending Phase 1 assay results to support the design of a Phase 2 exploration program and refine potential drill targets.

The acquisition of the White Star Tungsten Project adds an adjacent property with historical tungsten-molybdenum skarn mineralization and allows the Company to evaluate Rowland and White Star as part of a broader district-scale exploration model. Western Star believes the proximity of the two projects may provide advantages related to logistics, exploration efficiency, and future drill targeting.

The Company's recent acquisition of the past-producing Eagle Point Tungsten Mine in New Mexico further expands Western Star's U.S. tungsten portfolio. Eagle Point provides exposure to another historical tungsten district with documented past production, surface mineralization, and untested exploration targets.

Mr. Morgan continued, "Our goal is to move beyond isolated announcements and help shareholders see the larger picture. We are building a portfolio of past-producing tungsten assets in the United States, advancing modern exploration datasets, preparing for drill targeting, and positioning Western Star within the broader critical mineral’s discussion."

IDEX Metals Commences Drilling & Completes Expanded IP Survey at the Freeze Property, Idaho

Wed, 24 Jun 2026 06:00:00 MDT

Vancouver, B.C., June 24th, 2026 – TheNewswire - IDEX Metals Corp. (“IDEX” or the “Company”) (TSXV: IDEX; OTCQB: IDXMF) is pleased to announce that Geotech Drilling Services Ltd. (“Geotech Drilling”) has mobilized to site and has commenced drilling at the North Breccia, one of several priority target areas at the Company’s Freeze Property (“Freeze”, or the “Property”). IDEX has advanced from concept towards a fully-funded, systematic discovery campaign at Freeze, with a 10,000-metre drill program testing a large magmatic-hydrothermal system. The company has also now completed its expanded 90.4 line-kilometer Induced Polarization (“IP”) geophysical survey; final inverted results are expected shortly, which will be used to support target refinement during the drill program.

The 2026 exploration program is designed around three core objectives:

Continue to drill test along the Kismet Corridor (North Breccia, Kismet, Frostfall) directly beneath the North Breccia, where the Company has interpreted the potential for a large porphyry system;
Define the Kismet Copper target with the goal of establishing the extent, metal tenor, and grade distribution of the high-grade oxide copper mineralization;
Advance existing targets to drill-ready status and generate new drill targets for the 2027 exploration season.

Figure 1: Exploration Targets and Showings on the Freeze Property

“IDEX is now executing on its clear and fully-funded game plan to advance Freeze from concept through to a systematic discovery campaign,” said Clayton Fisher, CEO and Director of IDEX Metals Corp. “This is slated to be the largest and most comprehensive exploration program in the Company’s history, with approximately 10,000 meters of drilling, extensive geological mapping, and a 2,500-sample Phase I soil and rock program. Our strategy is disciplined and goal-oriented: test the highest-priority geochemical and geophysical targets, define the Kismet target zone, and advance new and existing targets to drill-ready status. We believe Freeze has the scale, geological attributes, and target diversity required to host a significant North American copper deposit. IDEX is very excited to have commenced the catalyst-rich 2026 exploration program.”

2026 Exploration Strategy

The 2026 exploration strategy at Freeze is built around an integrated exploration model combining drilling, detailed geological mapping, soil geochemistry, and rock-chip sampling. These overlapping datasets provide confidence that a mineralized magmatic-hydrothermal system exists on the Property.

The Company’s 2026 program is designed to test high-priority targets within the broader Freeze system, while also building a pipeline of additional drill targets for future campaigns. The program will focus on four complementary workstreams:

Geophysical interpretation and target refinement using results from the recently-completed 90.4 line-kilometer geophysical survey;
Exploration drilling focusing on targeting a magmatic-hydrothermal system under and/or near the North Breccia and Kismet targets based on geochemical and geological evidence;
Definition drilling at Kismet designed to evaluate continuity, extent and grade distribution of the Kismet target;
Property-wide target generation and follow-up on underexplored areas through mapping, soil sampling, and rock-chip sampling.

The Company believes the combination of 2025 drill data, surface geochemistry, geological mapping and historical work provides a strong technical foundation for the 2026 program. The work is intended to move Freeze from broad-scale target definition into a focused and systematic drill campaign aimed at discovery, resource-potential evaluation and future target generation.

2026 Drill Program

The 2026 drill program has been designed to total approximately 10,000 metres of drilling across approximately 20 holes. The Company has commenced drilling with one core rig at North Breccia, with a second rig expected to arrive on site in July to expand drilling activities across additional priority targets.

Planned holes are expected to average approximately 500 metres, with potential depths of up to 1,200 metres. The program is designed to provide flexibility to adjust hole sequencing, depth and follow-up drilling based on geological observations, visual mineralization, assays and ongoing interpretation.

Priority Drill Targets

North Breccia: Highest-priority 2026 drill target and primary porphyry discovery target
Kismet Copper Oxide Zone: Oxide-zone definition target with the goal of advancing towards future resource potential

Secondary Drill Targets

CM Target: High-priority target to be tested and advanced based on integrated geophysical, geological and geochemical evidence
Shiver Target: High-priority target to be advanced through drilling and/or supporting exploration work

The drill program is intended to be dynamic. Results from initial drilling, mapping, surface sampling and assays may result in changes to hole sequencing, target ranking and follow-up priorities.

Figure 2: North Breccia planned drill collar map with interpreted priority targets

Kismet Copper Target Definition

A second core objective of the 2026 campaign is to evaluate the geometry, continuity, grade distribution and scale potential of the Kismet Copper Target. The aim of the program is to utilize a combination of drilling, geophysics mapping, sampling, assay integration, and geological modelling to build on the 2025 drill program at Kismet. The Kismet drilling program is intended to run in tandem with exploration drilling and broader target generation.

The overall objective is to define the true lateral and depth extent of the Kismet mineralized system and determine whether the Kismet target can be advanced towards future resource definition work. Additional work required to support any future resource estimate may include closer-spaced drilling, geotechnical studies density measurements, metallurgical testing, geological modelling, QA/QC review and additional technical studies.

No preliminary mineral resource estimate has been completed at Kismet, and there is no certainty that further exploration will result in the definition of a mineral resource. The Company’s objective is to evaluate the future resource potential of the Kismet target through systematic exploration and technical work.

Advancing Existing Targets and Building the 2027 Drill Pipeline

In addition to the 2026 drill program, IDEX plans to complete a property-wide mapping and geochemical sampling program designed to advance existing targets to drill-ready status and generate additional drill targets for the 2027 exploration season.

The Phase I surface exploration program consists of approximately 2,250 soil samples and 250 rock samples, along with more than 60 planned creek traverses across underexplored regions of the Freeze Project.

Target advancement criteria may include i) anomalous copper, gold, molybdenum or related pathfinder geochemistry; ii) favorable intrusive, breccia, structural or alteration settings; iii) supportive geophysical responses; evidence of scale potential; and iv) practical access, permitting and collar-location considerations.

The Company expects to integrate results from the 2026 Phase I sampling program and mapping traverses into a ranked 2027 target pipeline by the end of the 2026 field season.

The 2026 IP Survey

The Company has now completed the full 90.4-line-kilometer IP survey across the Kismet Corridor and Shiver Target areas, including both the original planned grid and its subsequent expansion. The original planned grid consisted of 37-line kilometers of IP, and was expanded due to the discovery of new, favorable subsurface chargeability and resistivity anomalies in the target area. Data processing and interpretation are underway, and results are expected imminently. The survey is being utilized to support drill targeting during the current drill program

About NAM

New Age Metals is a junior mineral exploration and development company focused on the discovery, exploration, and development of critical green metal projects in North America. The Company has three divisions: a Platinum Group Element division, a Lithium/Rare Metals division, an Antimony-Gold Division as well as a significant equity investment in MetalQuest Mining’s (TSXV:MQM | OTC:MQMIF) high purity Lac Otelnuk Iron Project.

The PGM Division includes the 100% owned, multi-million-ounce, district-scale River Valley Project, one of North America’s largest undeveloped Platinum Group Element Projects, situated 100 km by road east of Sudbury, Ontario. Currently there is a summer/fall program to complete the second phase of the PLATSOL metallurgical work. We are also completing recommendations and a go forward plan for the Mustang zone on the southern most 4 KMs of the total 16 KM Project. Our objective is to outline drill targets to re establish the historical resource on Mustang zone. In addition to River Valley, NAM owns 100% of the Genesis PGM-Cu-Ni Project in Alaska. On May 6th, 2026, NAM announced it entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Rockport Capital Corp., which sets out the principal terms and conditions of the proposed transaction to further develop the Gensis Project. Work is slated to begin in August 2026. See link for further details : https://newagemetals.com/new-age-metals-options-genesis-project/

In addition, on January 21st 2026, the Company recently expanded its Platinum Group Metals portfolio through the acquisition of the Northern Shield PGM Project in Ontario’s Ring of Fire region, strengthening its exposure to district-scale mafic–ultramafic systems prospective for nickel, copper, and platinum group elements. Recently, 2 senior technical consultants, one of which is a director of the Company, visited the sites with our Northwestern Ontario regional consultants to establish the 2026 exploration plans. For more information regarding the Thunderbay projects click here; https://newagemetals.com/new-age-metals-expands-platreef-pgm-project-through-strategic-option-of-the-gravel-ridge-property-near-lac-des-iles-mine-northwestern-ontario/ .

On February 26, 2026, the Company also acquired the Platreef PGM and Escape East PGM Projects, both platinum group metals–nickel–copper (PGM–Ni–Cu) exploration properties located in northwestern Ontario within and nearby the prospective Lac des Iles Igneous Complex. The Complex hosts Canada’s only primary palladium-producing operation, owned and operated by Impala Canada Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Impala Platinum Holdings Limited.

New Age Metals’ Antimony–Gold Division is focused on advancing a district-scale land package in Newfoundland comprising 20,950 hectares across 11 non-contiguous properties. Six of these properties are located in the St. Alban’s area along the Swanger’s Cove and Little River mineralized trends, while the remaining five are strategically positioned along the same regional geological corridor as the past-producing Beaver Brook Antimony Mine and near New Found Gold’s Queensway South Gold Project.

The Company recently completed its Phase 2 exploration program at the St. Alban’s properties, which significantly advanced the project through the identification of high-grade, structurally controlled gold–antimony mineralization along an emerging ~16 km Au–Sb trend. Highlights from Phase 2 include grab samples returning up to 51.9% antimony and 46.2 g/t gold at the Antimony Ridge property, confirming the strength and scale of this developing mineralized system. In response to these results, NAM expanded its land position by staking an additional 40 claims (~1,000 hectares), including the Pardy Head antimony occurrence, and has received approvals for trenching in preparation for the next phase of exploration. The Company is now in the field as of the first of June with 2 full time Newfoundland Prospectors and the Project Geologist Max Kaczmer joined them on June 18th to help them complete boots on the ground prospecting, trenching in preparation in establishing drill targets.

The Bonanza Ridge Gold and Critical Metals Project has been significantly expanded with the option agreements for the Lavender Lake and South Gibi Lake properties, adding prospective ground in the Kenora Gold District of northwestern Ontario. These properties, located about 25 km southeast of Kenora, are strategically positioned along a favourable structural corridor adjacent to NAM’s flagship Bonanza Gold Property, and host known gold and copper occurrences with minimal modern exploration to date. The consolidated portfolio now comprises approximately 19,240 hectares (~47,550 acres) of contiguous land within an emerging gold and critical metals jurisdiction, providing substantial opportunities for follow-up field work, structural modeling, target generation, and future drill campaigns. Recent announcement:https://newagemetals.com/new-age-metals-expands-bonanza-ridge-gold-andcritical-metals-project-strategic-acquisition-oflavender-lake-south-gibi-lake-properties/.

The Company has established a Kenora, Ontario based field operations hub to support exploration activities across Northwestern Ontario and Eastern Manitoba. The proposed facility would provide centralized logistical, technical, and administrative support for regional exploration programs and is expected to improve field efficiency and coordination. Currently, there is a 6 man team in the field, consisting of prospectors, technicians and geologists, completing boots on the ground prospecting, trenching, mapping and trail blazing. Samples are being collected and assays are being submitted through the summer to our assay lab. We expect to disseminate an update announcement before the end of July 2026.

The Company’s Lithium Division is one of the largest mineral claim holders in the Winnipeg River Pegmatite Field, where New Age Metals is exploring hard-rock lithium and rare elements including tantalum, rubidium and cesium. On June 3, 2026, NAM announced that it had regained 100% ownership of its 11 LCT projects. As part of the approximately $11.5 million spend by Mineral Resources Ltd. NAM was able to file sufficient assessment dollars to keep the entire project in good standing for 15 years.

Although the planned 2023–2024 exploration program, which represented approximately $7 million in anticipated expenditures, was not completed due to unseasonably warm weather, several priority lithium targets remain undrilled and previous work also identified prospective areas with elevated copper, nickel and gold values.

Management intends to follow up on these targets during the summer and fall 2026 field season, with the Company’s senior geological consultant expected to complete a 10-day site visit in late July or August to review the projects, inspect the new core facility and recommend the next phase of work. While lithium prices have recently pulled back following a strong first half of 2026, the Company’s restored 100% ownership provides full flexibility to advance the portfolio independently and re-engage with third-party groups that had previously expressed interest in the projects.

In April 2024, a $1.5M NSERC Alliance grant was awarded to a collaboration led by the University of Manitoba (Drs. Fayek and Camacho), with academic partners from Lakehead University (Dr. Hollings) and industry partners including New Age Metals and Grid Metals. This research is focused on advancing Canada’s critical metals sector, with New Age Metals’ portion targeting its Bird River lithium properties. The 2025 work included core sampling and field visits. The project will likely extend beyond the original 3-year term, due to its delayed start.

New Age Metals Inc. is supporting a successful $180K Mitacs research grant, awarded in 2023, through its $90K contribution This academic partnership with the University of New Brunswick and the University of British Columbia is focused on understanding the origin and controls of lithium pegmatite mineralization in the Cat Lake–Winnipeg River field.

Melkior Resources Completes Winter Drill Program and Launches Field Mapping and Prospecting Campaign at the Carscallen Gold Property in Timmins, Ontario

Wed, 24 Jun 2026 05:00:00 MDT

June 24, 2026 – TheNewswire - Timmons, Ontario - Melkior Resources Inc. (“Melkior” or the “Company”) (TSXV: MKR) (OTC: MKRIF) is pleased to provide an exploration update from its Carscallen Gold Project, located approximately 25 kilometres west of Timmins, Ontario.

Exploration Highlights

Completed a 10-hole (3,136 metres) program targeting high-priority gold zones across three different target areas: the 1010 North and South Zones, Zamzam-Jowsey Zone and the Northwest Prospect.
The Northwest Prospect, located ~500 m north of the 1010 North Zone, represents the northern extension of the 1010 mineralized corridor. Recent drilling has the potential to extend the overall structural trend to over 1.5 km.
Commenced a comprehensive two-to-three-month, fully funded field mapping, surface sampling and prospecting program at Carscallen. This fully funded initiative is being led by the Company’s in-house geological team, which enhances operational efficiency while maintaining strong cost discipline.

“We are very encouraged by the successful completion of our winter drilling and excited to immediately follow-up with an extensive geological and prospecting campaign this field season,” said Bernard Deluce, CEO and Director of Melkior Resources. “Leveraging our in-house geological team allows us to advance exploration more efficiently, gain a better understanding of the mineralization and structural controls, and optimally position the project for the next phase of drilling.”

Discussion of Results:

The Company has successfully completed a 10-hole diamond drilling program totaling over 3,136 metres, marking a key milestone in advancing the project. The drilling program targeted high-grade mineralized structures and lateral and down / up dip extensions of known gold mineralization. All ten holes were completed as planned, with excellent core recovery reported. Drill core processing is ongoing at a facility in Quebec, including detailed geological logging and sampling, with submissions to an accredited assay laboratory. Multiple strongly mineralized core intersections were intersected in most of the planned drill holes which is consistent with the historical gold showings. Assay results are anticipated sometime in August 2026, representing a significant near-term catalyst for the Company.

Building on the momentum from the winter drilling campaign, Melkior has also initiated a fully funded, field program which is expected to run for approximately two to three months this field season being executed by Melkior’s in-house geological team. The field program will focus on detailed geological – structural mapping, systematic surface sampling, and targeted gold prospecting across key target areas of the property. The aim is to expand the lateral extents of known gold zones and define the structural controls associated with the gold mineralization. Results from this work are expected to generate additional drill targets and support the next phase of exploration. Further updates will be provided as assay results are received and fieldwork progresses.

The Carscallen Gold Project:

The Company’s 100%-owned Carscallen Gold Property covers ~47 km² in the prolific Abitibi Greenstone Belt, just 25 km west of Timmins, Ontario. It features structurally controlled orogenic gold mineralization along NNW-SSE trending shear corridors, hosted in quartz-sulphide veins with strong silica-sericite-carbonate alteration. The system shows excellent geologic potential between the high-grade gold, structure-controlled magnetics, IP chargeability/resistivity anomalies, and alteration — classic signatures for discovering additional high-grade ore shoots. Multiple mineralized corridors (Zamzam-Jowsey-Shenkman >1.5 km strike with 400 m+ depth continuity; 1010 Corridor >500 m strike with northern extension potential) remain open in strike and depth, with proven continuity and repeating high-grade plunging structures typical of the Timmins camp.

Standout technical attributes include bonanza-grade intercepts such as 77.4 g/t Au over 6.9 m (incl. 445 g/t Au over 1.2 m) at 1010 South — the project’s highest metal factor to date — plus dozens of historical hits >25 g/t Au. Preliminary metallurgy shows ~95% gold recovery. The property benefits from low-cost exploration upside via in-house teams, strong geophysical targeting, and proximity to major infrastructure and neighboring producers, making it well-positioned for resource growth through targeted drilling and surface work. This positions Carscallen as a high-grade exploration asset with district-scale potential in a Tier-1 jurisdiction.

Andina Copper Intersects 186m at 0.50% Cu from 38m, within 502m at 0.40% Cu. Extends Shallow Mineralization to the NW

Wed, 24 Jun 2026 04:00:00 MDT

June 24, 2026 – Vancouver, British Columbia. - TheNewswire - Andina Copper Corporation (TSX-V: ANDC | FSE: FIR | OTCQB: PMMCF) is pleased to report further outstanding drill intercepts from the Cobrasco Project in Chocó, Colombia.

Drillhole CDH009 was drilled northwesterly from the same drill pad as CDH006, CDH007 and CDH008 (refer 13 May 2026 News Release) to a final depth of 954m. Results confirm a significant northwesterly extension of near-surface mineralization, with grades notably increasing from 38m downhole. Two additional drillholes, CDH010 and CDH011, have been completed from this same platform, with assays pending.

Wide spaced scout drilling designed to assess the overall scale potential of the Cobrasco mineralized system is ongoing from a new platform located approximately 350m northwest of the previous drill site.

HIGHLIGHTS:

CDH009 further confirms a significant northwesterly extension of the Cobrasco Central Cu-Mo mineralized system, returning:

502m @ 0.40% Cu, 73ppm Mo, 1.22g/t Ag from 38m

Incl. 388m @ 0.44% Cu, 36ppm Mo, 1.28g/t Ag from 38m

Incl 186m @ 0.50% Cu, 22ppm Mo, 1.48g/t Ag from 38m

Results expand the drillhole-defined mineralized footprint at Cobrasco Central to approximately 1,200m by 550m, with the footprint continuing to grow through successive step-out drilling. Mineralization remains open in all directions.
Mineralization persists to the end of CDH009 at 954m; however, copper grade decreases at depth as the intensity of overprinting sericite alteration and associated chalcopyrite–bornite mineralization progressively transitions to a lower-grade potassic-altered domain.
Additional step-out drillholes CDH010 and CDH011 have been completed from the same platform to further extend the Cobrasco Central mineralized system. Geological logging indicates the mineralized system extends into both holes with assay results pending.
Preparations underway for introduction of second drill rig. Multiple drill targets and ongoing step-outs planned in the near-term.

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

“Andina Copper continues to systematically advance its scout drilling programme in a northwesterly direction with wide spaced fans of holes aimed at expanding the envelope of porphyry Cu-Mo mineralization. The results of hole CDH009 validate this approach, significantly extending shallow, near-surface copper-molybdenum mineralization 350m to the northwest.

Incredibly, all nine drill holes reported to-date have returned wide intervals of high-grade, near-surface Cu-Mo mineralization. The current drill defined footprint of the Cobrasco mineralized porphyry system is approximately 1,200m x 550m and remains open in all directions. Mobilization of a second diamond drilling rig will expedite continued systematic and aggressive exploration and evaluation of the Cobrasco Central system and enable simultaneous testing of potential new porphyry centers”

Geology and Mineralization - Drillhole CDH009

Hole CDH009 was collared from the same drill pad as CDH006 - CDH008 (and subsequent holes CDH010 - CDH011) and drilled NW to test for the continuation of shallow mineralization previously intersected from this collar position, bisecting a wide untested area between drill holes CDH006 and CDH008. All holes completed thus far from this pad have intersected consistent intervals of shallow continuous moderate - high-grade Cu-Mo mineralization commencing immediately below the oxidized profile, which averages approximately 40m in thickness.

Hole CDH009 (Az: 292o Dip: -55º Depth: 954m) was the fourth hole to be drilled from this drill pad, oriented NW at a relatively shallow dip designed to test approximately 545m horizontally and 780m vertically.

The hole intersected a leached cap with supergene oxidation developed to a depth of approximately 41m. Minor chalcocite coatings on chalcopyrite occur immediately below the base of oxidation but are of negligible volumetric significance. Below the base of oxidation and extending to a depth of approximately 350m downhole, significant chalcopyrite mineralization occurs as disseminations and hairline veinlets affecting several phases of felsic rhyolite and intermediate daci-andesite porphyries, as well as magmatic-hydrothermal breccias.

Below 350m, copper and molybdenum mineralization is principally associated with halo veins and alteration fronts comprising silica, white and green sericite, and molybdenite-bearing B-type veins respectively; darker Early Dark Micaceous (EDM) halo veins also carry chalcopyrite-bornite mineralization. Although not pervasive, chalcopyrite-bornite mineralization associated with green and white sericite halo veins remains locally abundant within a preserved potassic (biotite–K-feldspar) altered domain and persists to the end of the hole at 954m.

Copper grades decrease with depth (Figure 3, right-hand photo) as the intensity and abundance of the sericitic overprint progressively diminish within an increasingly dominant potassic-altered domain.

The rhyolite porphyry suite commonly displays flow banding (often convolute) supporting the dome complex affiliation for the felsic rhyolite “family” of porphyries.

In broad terms, the rhyolite porphyries intrude the intermediate-composition daci-andesitic porphyries. The highest grades are found in the upper 300m of the hole and are closely associated with intensive white to green sericite alteration. This interval also contains two magmatic-hydrothermal breccias associated with rhyolite porphyries between 150 - 250m downhole. Although mineralized, these breccias do not attain the very high copper grades observed elsewhere in the system.

Middle — CDH009, 305m: Rhyolite (quartz-eye) porphyry with intense white and green sericite alteration and disseminated chalcopyrite partially replaced by bornite. Sample interval grading 1.17% Cu, 18ppm Mo, and 3.6 g/t Ag (304–306 m).

Right — CDH009, 810m: Rhyolite (quartz-eye) porphyry affected by quartz–potassium feldspar (potassic) alteration, partially overprinted by green and white sericite alteration carrying chalcopyrite and bornite mineralization, demonstrating that copper mineralization is lower grade but persists to depth. Sample interval grading 0.13% Cu, 42ppm Mo, and 0.8 g/t Ag (810–812 m).

QUALIFIED PERSON

Francisco Montes, a consultant of Andina Copper Corp and a “qualified person” (“QP”) within the definition of that term in National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, has reviewed and approved the technical information contained in this news release. Francisco Montes is a member of Australian Institute of Geoscientists (MAIG #4160).

QAQC

CDH009 was collared with a PQ size drill string to a depth of 169.10m and continued with HQ/HQ3 to a final depth of 954.00m. In all 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 added for extra 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-up and photographed, prior to undergoing geotechnical and geological logging. All core segments were cut by diamond saw by Andina Copper technicians, other than the top saprolite 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 polyweave sacks ready for transport.

The core trays with the remaining half-core are stored at the Andina Copper facility in Quibdó for ongoing geotechnical (Terraspec spectral analysis, magnetic susceptibility readings, rock density measurements) and follow-up detailed geological logging. From Quibdó, core samples were sent to the ALS sample preparation facility in Medellin, an accredited laboratory which is independent of the Company. Prepared sample pulps were then forwarded to the ALS laboratory in Lima, Peru for gold (Au-AA23), multi-elements (ME-MS61), and “overlimits” analysis (ME-OG62 including copper Cu-OG62). Coarse and fine rejects are routinely returned by ALS Medellin for storage at the Andina Copper storage facility.

Voyageur Pharmaceuticals Engages Fluor to Advance Feasibility Studies for Iodine Production and Integrated Contrast Drug Manufacturing Facility

Tue, 23 Jun 2026 14:00:00 MDT

CALGARY, Alberta – TheNewswire - June 23, 2026 – Voyageur Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (TSX.V: VM) (OTC Pink: VYYRF) (“Voyageur” or the “Company”), a Canadian developer of pharmaceutical-grade barium and iodine contrast media for medical imaging, is pleased to announce that it has engaged Fluor Corporation (“Fluor”), a leading global engineering, procurement, construction and maintenance firm, to complete comprehensive feasibility studies for two strategic projects that will advance the Company’s vertically integrated North American supply chain for radiology contrast drugs. The engagement covers:

An Iodine Project as part of a collaboration withBayer– a feasibility study for a proposed iodine extraction and production facility in Oklahoma, USA using Voyageur's previously announced patent pending Meuller process (see news release dated Jan 12, 2026), developed in collaboration with Bayer AG (“Bayer”) under the milestone-based funding agreement announced on February 23, 2026. This project aims to produce high-purity iodine from iodine-rich oilfield brine for use in contrast media drugs.
Voyageur’s Integrated Iodine and Barium Contrast Drug Manufacturing Facility– a feasibility study for the Company’s planned pharmaceutical manufacturing plant that management of Voyageur expects will produce finished barium and iodine-based contrast media products. This facility is expected to integrate Voyageur’s high-purity barite from its 100%-owned Frances Creek barium deposit in British Columbia, with domestically sourced iodine, creating the first fully integrated “Earth-to-Bottle” contrast media platform in North America.

Voyageur has budgeted US$2,350,000 for completion of the Bayer project feasibility study and will create a final budget for the integrated iodine and barium drug facility feasibility study, after completion of the testing of Voyageurs proprietary Streamline iodine drug manufacturing process.

Fluor’s world-class expertise in process engineering, project economics, and large-scale industrial facility design will ensure both studies meet the highest technical, environmental, and economic standards required for project financing and regulatory approvals. The studies are expected to be completed in early 2027, paving the way for a potential construction decision in 2027. “We are thrilled to partner with Fluor to de-risk and accelerate these projects,” said Brent Willis, CEO of Voyageur Pharmaceuticals. “With the iodine initiative and Fluor’s technical expertise, we are moving decisively toward securing North America’s supply chain for critical medical imaging drugs. These feasibility studies represent a major milestone in our strategy to become the first fully integrated producer of both barium and iodine contrast agents on the continent.”

The dual feasibility studies build on Voyageur’s recent progress, including its Health Canada-approved barium contrast products already generating commercial sales (see news release dated Aug 21, 2025) and the ongoing Bayer collaboration. Subject to successful completion of the feasibility study and further agreement of the parties, Voyageur and Bayer may consider advancing the project into a subsequent phase under an offtake-linked production financing arrangement. In a potential subsequent phase, Bayer may provide capital financing for the project, while Voyageur would operate and manage the project, subject to definitive agreements.

About Voyageur Pharmaceuticals Ltd.

Voyageur Pharmaceuticals (TSXV: VM) is a Canadian company focused on becoming a low-cost, vertically integrated producer of barium and iodine Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) and finished imaging contrast agents. The Company has already developed five barium contrast products that hold Health Canada licenses and are currently generating revenue in Canada. Voyageur is positioned to become North America’s first vertically integrated, low-cost manufacturer of both barium and iodine contrast media, a significant competitive advantage. By owning 100% of the high-grade, metal-free Frances Creek barite project, the Company controls its own secure, domestic source of pharmaceutical-grade barium sulfate. In parallel, Voyageur’s patent-pending Mueller process enables low-cost extraction of iodine from mineral brine water. Combined with its proprietary Streamline manufacturing technology, the Company plans to process that iodine directly into finished iodine contrast drugs within a single, integrated production chain. This end-to-end ownership from raw material extraction through proprietary processing to finished pharmaceutical products, is expected to deliver materially lower operating costs than competitors who purchase intermediates on the open market. At the same time, it is anticipated to create a reliable, North American-based supply chain for critical medical imaging agents, significantly reducing geopolitical, logistics, and shortage risks for hospitals and patients in the United States and Canada.

This strategy embodies Voyageur’s motto, “From Earth to Bottle,” reflecting its commitment to responsible, traceable, and secure sourcing and manufacturing from North American resources.

Aether Global Announces Filing of Amended and Restated MD&A

Tue, 23 Jun 2026 13:40:00 MDT

VANCOUVER, BC – June 23, 2026 – TheNewswire – Aether Global Innovations Corp. (CSE: AETH) (OTC: AETHF) (Frankfurt: 4XA) (WKN# A2N8RH) (“Aether” or the “Company”), a company focused on delivering mission-critical technologies across defense, government, and critical infrastructure environments, announces that it has filed an amended and restated management’s discussion and analysis (the “A&R MD&A”) for the interim period ended February 28, 2026 (“Q1 2026”), which amends and restates the management’s discussion and analysis for Q1 2026 originally filed on April 29, 2026 (the “Original MD&A”).

Reason for Amendment

The Company is filing the A&R MD&A at the request of the British Columbia Securities Commission to better reflect the state of the Company’s current business.

The A&R MD&A includes the following principal changes:

The “Business Overview and Overall Performance” section has been revised to better describe the Company’s current business and strategic direction. The Original MDA contained statements regarding drone design and development, automation and integration services, and drone base station technologies that did not accurately reflect the Company’s current business activities. The R MDA describes the Company’s strategic pivot towards the security and defense sectors through a platform strategy of identifying, acquiring, and integrating proven market participants with existing revenue, intellectual property, and government relationships, and notes that the Company has begun executing on this by entering into distribution relationships with market participants in both the counter-drone sector and the surveillance drone sector.

The description of the letter of intent with Arion Defense Inc. has been clarified to reflect that it is a non-binding letter of intent.

All other aspects of the Original MD&A remain unchanged.

The A&R MD&A is available under the Company’s issuer profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

Hi-View's New Linaement Mapping Identify Multiple New Porphyry Targets at Lawyers East Toodoggone BC

Tue, 23 Jun 2026 08:55:00 MDT

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – TheNewswire - JUNE 23, 2026 – HI-VIEW RESOURCES INC. (“Hi-View” or the “Company”) (CSE: GXLD; OTCQB: GXLDF; FSE: B630) announces that lineament mapping has been completed for its Lawyers East project within the Toodoggone Portfolio, representing the first area of the Company’s broader lineament mapping program to be released. The work integrates recent property-scale airborne geophysical datasets with regional geophysical coverage and existing geological information to support the identification of structural trends and target generation across the Company’s Toodoggone Portfolio.

Nader Mostaghimi, VP of Exploration of Hi-View comments “Lineament mapping and structural interpretation are a critical early-stage component of the Company’s exploration strategy, complementing the airborne geophysical surveys acquired last summer. This work provides an important framework for geological modeling and target generation by helping to identify the structural controls that may influence the distribution of epithermal and porphyry mineralization across the property. We are particularly encouraged by the identification of several new targets located within 4 km of the Aurora porphyry discovery and along trend from several significant mineral deposits in the Toodoggone district.”

The broader study integrates 1,798 line km of new airborne magnetic data (Figure 1) with historical datasets, including prior airborne surveys and ground geophysics, providing a consistent interpretation of structural controls on mineralization across approximately 240 km² of the Company’s tenure.

Interpretation of total magnetic intensity (“TMI”) and derivative magnetic products at Lawyers East has outlined a well-defined architectural framework associated with intrusive phases and structurally controlled mineralization within the Toodoggone belt (Figure 2 and 3). Intersecting lineament trends, magnetic destructive features, intrusive pluton margins, and associated copper–molybdenum ± gold–bismuth geochemical anomalies define several priority target areas across the property (Figures 5 and 6), including the recently acquired Chip showing. The interpreted lineaments are considered to represent structural features identified through the integration of airborne geophysical datasets and existing geological information, further refining the Company’s understanding of mineralization controls at Lawyers East and supporting ongoing target generation across the broader Toodoggone Portfolio.

Lineament mapping at Lawyers East identifies a dominant NW-trending lineament set, as supported by rose diagram analysis (Figure 4), that represents a key regional structural trend within the Toodoggone belt, extending toward the Baker deposit to the north. This trend is crosscut by a NE–SW lineament associated with the Jock Creek trend interpreted as an orogen-oblique structural corridor linked to mineralization at epithermal deposits such as Shasta, and the Sofia and Aurora porphyry systems. Within the Jurassic Duncan Pluton, additional WNW–ESE lineament sets are developed at the property scale, segmenting the intrusive and creating zones of structural complexity favourable for mineralization.

Airborne magnetic data expresses these features as linear magnetic lows and gradients on TMI and vertical derivative datasets, reflecting interpreted structural disruption and localized alteration. Discrete magnetic highs are interpreted to represent intrusive phases, including stocks and dykes, while magnetic lows define structural corridors. Some of these zones coincide with copper–molybdenum soil anomalies and locally with gold–bismuth enrichment, defining key zones of interest (Figure 5).

In addition, the recently acquired Chip showing represents a discrete target within this structural framework, located at a N-S, NW-, and NE-trending lineament triple junction. Rock sampling at the Chip showing has confirmed copper–silver mineralization with associated gold values, including up to 0.96% Cu, 0.145 g/t Au and 47.5 g/t Ag1. Mineralization across the Lawyers East area is interpreted to be structurally influenced within the intrusive system, with priority targets focused where key structural trends intersect.

The Lawyers East structural interpretation has defined a coherent architectural framework associated with intrusive-related mineralization, highlighting several priority target areas characterized by zones of increased density of intersecting lineaments with a) magnetic destructive zones, b) coincident geochemical anomalies, and c) pluton margins. The results continue to improve the Company’s understanding to vector towards mineralization at Lawyers East and will support ongoing exploration targeting and follow-up program design. Lineament interpretation results for the Borealis and Golden Stranger areas are currently being finalized and are expected to be released in the near term.

Lexaria's Animal Study GLP-1-A26-1 has Begun Dosing on Schedule

Tue, 23 Jun 2026 07:25:00 MDT

Potentially valuable novel compositions being investigated

Lexaria also receives additional new granted patent

Kelowna, British Columbia – June 23, 2026 - TheNewswire – Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (Nasdaq: LEXX) (the “Company” or “Lexaria”), a global innovator in drug delivery platforms, provides the following update on Animal Study #1 (GLP-1-A26-1) that is evaluating a number of formulation enhancements using both DehydraTECH-semaglutide (“DHT-sema”) glucagon-like peptide-1 (“GLP-1”) compositions and DehydraTECH-CBD (“DHT-CBD”) compositions to explore the potential for additional improved performance as well as stake new intellectual property (“IP”) claims (the “Study”).

The Study is on schedule and dosing began on June 10, 2026, as planned. Barring any unforeseen interruptions, Study results are currently expected by early September.

One of the novel objectives of this Study is to evaluate innovative alternative formulations to SNAC (salcaprozate sodium) which is currently in use by Novo Nordisk® with their oral Rybelsus® and Wegovy® tablet products. If Lexaria is able to scientifically evidence novel new formulations with similarity or superiority to SNAC performance enhancements, we may be able to establish valuable new proprietary IP and an industry alternative to SNAC that could be of value within the keenly competitive GLP-1 sector. To this end, Lexaria is pleased to report that we have already filed 3 new patent applications that anticipate our latest technological improvements in this area.

The Study is utilizing Sprague-Dawley rats with 11 separate Study arms evaluating a number of different novel compositions. Blood samples are being taken at multiple timepoints through an 8-24 hour post-dosing period to quantify the pharmacokinetic performance of each composition. In addition, the Study will also measure drug concentrations in the brain since DehydraTECH has, in the past, evidenced apparent superior absorption of active ingredients into brain tissue, an area of intense interest due to the fact that GLP-1 drug performance is increasingly understood to include or even depend upon involvement of brain neurochemistry, thus making brain biodistribution vital.

There will be one reference arm using an existing DHT-sema composition and another reference arm using an existing DHT-CBD composition. Lexaria will leverage the wealth of study data that we have amassed from previous work by utilizing our proprietary historical data and the reference arms as baseline comparators to the current Study results as we search for areas of improvement.

The Study is fully funded from existing corporate resources.

Lexaria is also pleased to report that on June 11, 2026 we received our first Australian patent grant (#2023302884) in our Family #21 - Pharmaceutical Compositions and Methods for Treating Hypertension. This patent represents our 7th patent in this family with 3 others previously granted in the US, 1 in Europe and 2 in Japan. The term of this patent is until April 25, 2043.

About Lexaria Bioscience Corp. & DehydraTECH™

DehydraTECH™ is Lexaria’s patented drug delivery formulation and processing platform technology which improves the way a wide variety of drugs enter the bloodstream, always through oral delivery. DehydraTECHTM has repeatedly evidenced the ability to increase bio-absorption, reduce side-effects, and deliver some drugs more effectively across the blood brain barrier.

Granada Gold Announces 64% Increase In Measured And Indicated Mineral Resources To 890,600 OZ AU (15,982,000 Tonnes At 1.73 G/T AU) And 90% Increase In Inferred Mineral Resources To 865,500 OZ AU (20,096,000 Tonnes At 1.34 G/T AU)

Tue, 23 Jun 2026 07:00:00 MDT

Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec – June 23, 2026 – TheNewswire – Granada Gold Mine Inc. (TSXV: GGM) (OTC: GBBFF) (Frankfurt: B6D) (the “Company” or “Granada”) is pleased to provide an updated Mineral Resource Estimate (the “2026 MRE”) for its 100%-owned Granada Gold Project, a past-producing property located adjacent to the prolific Cadillac Break in the Abitibi greenstone belt near Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, and within trucking distance of several operating gold mines and mills in northwestern Quebec.

The 2026 MRE combines in-pit (open-pit-constrained) and underground Mineral Resources. It re-evaluates the independent SGS Canada Inc. block model that supported the Company’s 2022 estimate, applying updated economic parameters, principally the current gold price, revised cut-off grades, and updated processing and site assumptions, to reflect today’s gold price environment.

HIGHLIGHTS

Measured and Indicated in-pit and underground Mineral Resources of 890,600 ounces of gold (15,982,000 tonnes grading 1.73 g/t Au), a 64% increase over the 2022 estimate of 543,000 ounces (8,220,000 tonnes at 2.05 g/t Au).
Inferred in-pit and underground Mineral Resources of 865,500 ounces of gold (20,096,000 tonnes grading 1.34 g/t Au), a 90% increase over the 2022 estimate of 456,000 ounces (3,010,000 tonnes at 4.71 g/t Au).
The increase is driven primarily by the substantial rise in the gold price since the 2022 estimate, which supports lower economic cut-off grades (0.25 g/t Au in-pit and 1.4 g/t Au underground, versus 0.55 g/t and 2.5 g/t in 2022), together with updated cost and processing assumptions.
The deposit remains open along strike and at depth. Mineral Resources have been delineated over approximately 2 km of an estimated 5.5 km mineralized east-west structure, and roughly 20% of the property has been explored to date.
The Company intends to incorporate this estimate into a forthcoming NI 43-101 technical report, to be filed on SEDAR+ within 45 days of this news release.

Table 1 – Granada Gold Project 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate

Classification	Cut-off (g/t Au)	Tonnes	Grade (g/t Au)	Contained oz Au
Measured	0.25 / 1.4	6,634,000	1.75	372,900
Indicated	0.25 / 1.4	9,348,000	1.72	517,700
Measured + Indicated	0.25 / 1.4	15,982,000	1.73	890,600
Inferred	0.25 / 1.4	20,096,000	1.34	865,500

Pit-constrained resources reported at a 0.25 g/t Au cut-off; underground resources at a 1.4 g/t Au cut-off. Measured and Indicated are reported exclusive of Inferred. See notes below.

Compared with the Company’s most recent Mineral Resource Estimate of record, prepared by SGS Canada Inc. (Yann Camus, P.Eng.) with an effective date of June 23, 2022, and reporting 543,000 ounces Measured and Indicated (8,220,000 tonnes at 2.05 g/t Au) and 456,000 ounces Inferred (3,010,000 tonnes at 4.71 g/t Au), the 2026 MRE represents a 64% increase in Measured and Indicated contained gold and a 90% increase in Inferred contained gold.

As expected, when a deposit is re-evaluated at a materially higher gold price, the average grade of the reported resource is lower than in 2022, because lower-grade material that was previously below the cut-off grades applied in 2022 is captured within the reported resource at the lower cut-off grades applied in 2026. The contained-ounce increase reflects the larger tonnage captured at the lower cut-off grades, consistent with how mineral resources across the sector are being re-stated in the current gold-price environment.

Table 2 – Comparison with the 2022 Mineral Resource Estimate

Category	Estimate	Tonnes	Grade (g/t Au)	Contained oz Au	Change
Measured & Indicated	2022 MRE	8,220,000	2.05	543,000
Measured & Indicated	2026 MRE	15,982,000	1.73	890,600	+64%
Inferred	2022 MRE	3,010,000	4.71	456,000
Inferred	2026 MRE	20,096,000	1.34	865,500	+90%

“This update re-evaluates the Granada deposit at current prices and reflects the work we have done to refine the geological model. Measured and indicated ounces are up 64 percent and inferred ounces up 90 percent against our 2022 estimate, and we have achieved that while still reporting only a fraction of the 5.5-kilometre mineralized structure. The deposit remains open along strike and at depth, and roughly 80 percent of the property is still to be explored,” said Frank J. Basa, P.Eng., President and Chief Executive Officer.

“With the ore-sorting results we reported in April, a 2.7-times grade uplift at 88 percent gold recovery, and a fully permitted ‘Rolling Start’ pathway, our focus now is on converting this larger resource into a clean, low-footprint operation that processes Granada’s gold,” Mr. Basa added.

Path to Production and On-Site Processing

The Company holds a Certificate of Authorization issued by the Québec Ministère du Développement durable, de l’Environnement et de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques authorizing mining of 550 tonnes per day for a total of approximately 590,000 tonnes, structured as a phased “Rolling Start” bulk-sample pathway. The independent ore-sorting program completed at the Saskatchewan Research Council (see April 28, 2026 news release) demonstrated a 2.7-times gold-grade uplift at 88 percent recovery, with roughly two-thirds of the material rejected as waste before milling. The Company expects these results to enhance the economics of the Rolling Start and of the broader project, and to support on-site processing with a reduced surface and tailings footprint per ounce.

About the Granada Gold Project

The Granada property includes the former Granada Gold underground mine, which produced more than 50,000 ounces of gold at approximately 10 g/t Au from two shafts in the 1930s before a fire destroyed the surface buildings. In the 1990s, bulk samples returned open-pit grades of 5.17 g/t Au (Pit #1, 87,311 tonnes) and 3.46 g/t Au (Pit #2, 22,095 tonnes). The Granada Shear Zone and South Shear Zone host up to twenty-two mineralized structures trending east-west over approximately 5.5 kilometres, three of which were mined historically from four shafts and three open pits. The property remains substantially under-explored, with significant potential along strike to the east toward the historic Aukeko and Austin-Rouyn shafts and at depth to the north of the existing pit.

Qualified Person

The Mineral Resource Estimate disclosed in this news release was prepared by Claude Duplessis, ing. (P.Eng.), of GoldMinds Geoservices Inc., an independent Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, who has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information contained in this news release. A technical report supporting the 2026 MRE will be filed on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) under the Company’s issuer profile within 45 days of the date of this news release.

Notes to the Mineral Resource Estimate

The independent Qualified Person for this Mineral Resource Estimate is Claude Duplessis, ing. (P.Eng.), of GoldMinds Geoservices Inc. The estimate has an effective date of June 8, 2026.
Mineral Resources are reported in accordance with CIM Definition Standards (2019) and CIM Estimation Best Practice Guidelines.
Pit-constrained Mineral Resources are reported at a cut-off grade of 0.25 g/t Au within a conceptual optimized pit shell. Underground Mineral Resources are reported at a cut-off grade of 1.4 g/t Au within reasonably mineable volumes.
Cut-off grades are based on a gold price of CA$176 per gram (approximately US$4,270 per ounce at an assumed exchange rate of US$0.78 = CA$1) and a process gold recovery of 90%.
Pit optimization parameters: mining cost of CA$6.00/t, processing cost of CA$40.00/t, mining recovery of 95%, mining dilution of 5%, and an overall pit slope angle of 50 degrees. The operating-cost basis used to derive the in-pit cut-off comprises processing CA$28/t, general and administrative CA$5/t, a reclamation provision of CA$4/t, and calcite addition for neutral tailings of CA$2/t. A mill recovery of 90% is applied.
Grade estimates were capped (top-cut) at 21 g/t Au prior to estimation.
A fixed bulk density (specific gravity) of 2.78 g/cm3 was used to estimate tonnage from block-model volumes.
The estimate was prepared on the independent SGS Canada Inc. block model (2022) and re-evaluated at updated economic parameters reflecting current gold prices and revised cut-off grades.
Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. An Inferred Mineral Resource has a lower level of confidence than that applying to Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources and must not be converted to a Mineral Reserve; it cannot be assumed that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource will be upgraded to a higher confidence category. Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources are reported exclusive of Inferred Mineral Resources, and the two categories are not additive.
Historic 1930-1935 production (approximately 164,816 tonnes at 9.7 g/t Au, or 51,400 ounces) is treated consistently with the 2022 estimate.
The pit optimization is used solely to test the reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction by open-pit methods and to guide the selection of a reporting cut-off grade; it does not represent an estimate of Mineral Reserves. There are no Mineral Reserves on the property.
All figures are rounded to reflect the relative precision of the estimate. Totals may not sum due to rounding.

Generation Uranium Integrates MMT Survey into Historic Targets and Investigates AI Targeting

Tue, 23 Jun 2026 06:30:00 MDT

Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - June 23, 2026 – Generation Uranium Inc. (TSXV: GEN, OTCQB: GENRF, FRA: W85) (“Generation” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on exploration planning for the 2026 field season.

As the Company awaits approval of its drill permit and prepares for the upcoming field program, Generation is focused on refining and recalibrating historic targets through integration of the 2024 MMT survey results and the evaluation of artificial intelligence as an additional target ranking and optimization tool.

2024–2025 MMT Survey Integration

In 2025, Generation received the results of the Expert Geophysics Mobile Magnetotellurics (MMT) survey completed on the Yath Project. The survey covered the majority of the property, with only a small block left incomplete due to deteriorating weather conditions. In total, 810 line kilometres were flown over an area of approximately 120 km².

(see Figure 1 below or original release if clipped out here)

MMT surveys targeting unconformity style uranium systems focus on three key elements:

• Graphitic Conductor Fault Zones - High grade unconformity uranium deposits globally are associated with basement fault zones enriched in graphite, which is highly conductive.

• Hydrothermal Alteration Halos - Uranium bearing acidic fluids alter surrounding sandstone or host rocks, producing conductivity highs (clay alteration) or resistivity highs (silicification).

• Deep Structural Controls - Understanding the architecture of deep structures helps identify pathways for uranium bearing fluid migration.

Integration of conductive and resistive MMT corridors with historic mapping and sampling has significantly narrowed the footprint of known targets and, importantly, improved the understanding of structural orientations beneath overburden. Targets historically defined at the scale of hundreds of metres can now be constrained to zones only tens of metres wide.

The MMT data has refined the interpreted orientation of key uranium targets including BOG, VGR, Embryo, FOX, and Lucky Break, revealing that conductive and resistive trends are oblique to earlier interpretations.

Advancing Toward Drill‑Ready Targets

The Company continues to integrate the MMT dataset with historic results from the Yath Project, including:

Surface samples up to 9.8% U₃O₈ at the Embryo target
1.0 m at 0.224% U₃O₈ from 25.5 m in drillhole BOG‑8‑80

This work is advancing the definition and prioritization of the most prospective drill targets for discovery.

AI Target generation and Ranking

Generation recognizes that Yath is a target‑rich project with a substantial volume of both historic and modern data. To enhance target ranking and improve discovery success, the Company has engaged several AI‑driven geological service providers and is evaluating which group is best suited to support advanced target analysis on the project.

CEO Michael Collins stated:

“The MMT data represents a major leap forward for buried uranium targeting. This exploration concept has already been validated by Atha Energy’s five new discoveries* in 2025 on their Angilak Project to the south. Generation has a real opportunity to shorten the discovery cycle at Yath while maximizing exploration dollars and drilling effectiveness.”

Uranium Outlook 2026

The uranium market in 2026 continues to strengthen, supported by a widening structural supply deficit and accelerating global demand. Spot prices surpassed US$100/lb early in the year as mine production struggles to keep pace with reactor requirements. Demand growth is being driven by the rapid expansion of AI‑powered data centers, alongside significant increases in nuclear generation capacity in China, India, and the United States. Long‑term contract prices have now moved above spot, reflecting a healthy and sustained trend as utilities secure supply in an increasingly competitive environment.

A comprehensive sector report2 released by Shaw and Partners in February 2026 forecasts the potential for a multi‑year uranium price spike toward US$200/lb. The report highlights tightening fuel contracting cycles, accelerating nuclear demand, and persistent supply shortfalls as the foundation for a powerful re‑rating across the uranium sector.

The report also underscores a growing disconnect between uranium supply and long‑term reactor demand. Global nuclear capacity currently consumes approximately 180 million pounds (Mlb) of U₃O₈ annually, while existing mine production delivers only about 150 Mlb. According to the World Nuclear Association’s reference scenario3, global nuclear capacity could expand significantly by 2040, pushing annual uranium consumption toward 390 Mlb.

Shaw and Partners’ modelling further indicates:

New mine supply requirements this decade could exceed 350 Mlb, once depletion of existing operations is included.
Structural supply deficits could surpass 200 Mlb per year in the coming decades unless new large‑scale uranium projects are brought into production.

Overall, the uranium market is expected to remain tight, with low inventories and rising demand driving utilities toward increasingly aggressive long‑term contracting strategies. This environment continues to strengthen the outlook for exploration‑stage companies positioned in proven and emerging uranium districts.

Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - June 23, 2026 - Cascade Copper Corp. (CSE: “CASC”/FRA: 91O) (“Cascade” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has commenced the maiden drilling at its Centrefire Copper-Gold Project, located 40 kilometres from Dryden, Ontario. The first hole is collared on a high priority copper-gold Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) target identified through inversion modelling of geophysics, historic drilling, and sampling of surface mineralization. A recent Press Release on May 11, discusses these priority drill targets.

"Having the drill turning at Centrefire marks a significant milestone for Cascade Copper," stated Jeffrey Ackert, President and CEO of Cascade Copper. "The commencement of our maiden drill program represents the first opportunity for the Company to systematically test the project’s high-priority targets, and we are pleased to have Vice President of Exploration, Shannon Baird, on site to oversee the program. His presence allows for continuous review of the core at our logging facilities in Dryden and provides the flexibility to react quickly and extend holes where warranted. Encouragingly, the first boxes of core from the initial hole have already encountered sulphide mineralization, providing early confirmation that we are drilling in the right area. We look forward to advancing the program and evaluating the results as they become available."

Project Description

The 2,500-hectare Centrefire Cu-Au Project is located in the Wabigoon Greenstone Belt in Northwestern Ontario, ~40 kilometers northeast of Dryden and ~35 kilometers southwest of Sioux Lookout. It has been minimally explored in the past with 10 short (<75m vertical depth) drill holes, 5 surface trenches, continuous channel sampling over multi-meter intervals and geophysics, both surface and airborne including magnetics and EM surveys. Phelps Dodge explored the area between 1968 and 1970 and discovered several stacked intervals of copper, gold, and nickel mineralization within the majority of drill holes. Recent modern work by Cascade has confirmed surface mineralization, re-interpreted and modelled the EM and magnetic geophysics and defined priority drill targets from this. Note that recent surface sampling has returned values up to 2.86% Cu, 2.84 g/t Au, and 23.5 g/t Ag.

Ashley Gold Corp. Reports 1.505 g/t Au over 10.25m Near Surface in Final Assays of Phase 1 Tak Drilling Extending D99Z Width to Over 100m, Dryden Area, Ontario

Tue, 23 Jun 2026 05:45:00 MDT

CALGARY, ALBERTA – TheNewswire - June 23, 2026 - Ashley Gold Corp. (CSE: “ASHL”) (“Ashley” or the “Company”) is pleased to share final assay results from the recently completed Phase 1 drill program on its wholly owned Tak Patents.

Highlights:

TAK-26-04: 0.996 g/t Au over 16.00 m including 1.505 g/t Au over 10.25 m near surface, within 118.23 m of anomalous gold values, terminating 3 m after intercepting 3.61 g/t Au over 0.3 m.
TAK-26-05: 7.39 g/t Au over 0.5 m, 8.00 m downhole. As well as 0.426 g/t Au over 15.00 m including 0.738 g/t over 6.00 m.

Updates:

Management heading to site, active prospecting based on IP, field updates to follow.

Phase 2 logging and cutting ongoing, for a total of four holes pending from 67Z.
32 grab sample assays remain pending from prospecting along strike and in the NTZ.

President Noah Komavli:

“The Company has intercepted gold values in all holes drilled on the Tak to date, with near surface, bulk tonnage gold values being the standout theme. As we progress with more advanced targeting based on our field and IP results, I look forward to working towards discovery and expansion of these known zones in this underexplored, yet highly promising area of the belt.”

CEO Darcy Christian:

“This was a great first drill program on the Tak for Ashley. I am pleased to see the width potential of the D99Z developing to over 100m and will be interested in seeing the results of Phase II as we begin to test the strike potential of the larger shallow system.”

Table 1: Drilling Location Data

TAK-26-01 was an eastern step out and undercut of the historic TAK-99-01 hole. This hole assayed 1.104 g/t Au over 28.2 m, leading to the moniker “Double 9 Zone” or D99Z, highlighting the 1999 drilling discovery of the gold bearing zone at surface.

TAK-26-02 was designed as an eastern fan from TAK-02-02. The results display gold mineralization starting at the drill hole collar, with a significant result of 0.586 g/t Au over 34.2 m. The entire hole returned anomalous gold values, with three distinct zones. This was the deepest hole ever drilled on the property and terminated in a wide, low grade zone of gold. Towards termination, both TAK-26-02 and TAK-26-03 intercepted pervasive green sericite-chlorite alteration, brecciation, and quartz veining accompanied by an increased sulphide content - all of which likely point to an increase in hydrothermal interaction.

TAK-26-03 fanned west from the same pad as TAK-26-02, intercepting anomalous grades from start to finish; 0.22 g/t Au over 156.5 m, including 0.580 g/t Au over 12.65 m within 0.332 g/t Au over 28.65 m.

TAK-26-04 drilled North from the TAK-99-10 collar location. Intercepting 1.505 g/t Au over 10.25 m near surface, within 0.996 g/t Au over 16.00 m from collar, in 118.23 m of anomalous gold values.

TAK-26-05 was the farthest easterly hole at depth, intercepting 0.319 g/t Au over 36.65 m from the collar, including 0.426 g/t Au over 15.00 m and 0.738 g/t Au over 6.00 m.

Table 3: Assay Results

Phase 1&2 - Next Steps

Phase 2 logging and cutting is ongoing.

QA/QC

The Company adheres to a strict QA/QC protocol for handling, sampling, sample transportation and analyses. Drill core was boxed, covered and sealed at the drill rig site. Core boxes were labelled with the official drillhole name and identified in numerical sequence starting from beginning of the hole to the end. Wooden blocks with the corresponding down hole meterage were inserted after every drill run by the drill contractor. Drill core boxes were transported by contactors to the onsite logging facility where Company personnel took over the core handling.

All drilling at the Tak project recovers NQ core. Drill core is systematically cut in half using a diamond saw. A qualified geologist examines the intact drill core, marking intervals for sampling and indicating the cutting line. Sample lengths are typically 1.0 metre, adjusted to a maximum of 1.5 meters or a minimum length of 0.3 metre as necessary to respect lithological and/or mineralogical contacts and to isolate narrow veins or structures that may contain higher-grade mineralization.

Technicians saw the core along the cutting lines determined by the geologist. One half of the core is retained as a representative sample, while the other half is submitted for analysis. Individual sample bags are labelled, tagged, and securely sealed - being then placed into rice bags, which are clearly marked with their contents. Each rice bag tends to hold 10 sample bags and is then sealed at capacity. The Company submits samples for gold determination by fire assay to ActLabs - Dryden. (“ActLabs”).

Samples were securely couriered to ActLabs in Dryden, ON by Company management and Company representatives for 1A2 Au fire assay. Samples are dried and pulverized with subsequent sample size of 5 to 50 grams. 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 finished at 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. Au is separated from the Ag in the doré bead by parting with nitric acid. The resulting gold flake is annealed using a torch. The gold flake remaining is weighed gravimetrically on a microbalance.

Wedgemount Reports 62% Increase in Oil & Gas Production

Tue, 23 Jun 2026 05:30:00 MDT

Vancouver, BC – TheNewswire - June 23, 2026 - Wedgemount Resources Corp. (CSE: WDGY) (FSE:8H5) (“Wedgemount” or the “Company”), is pleased to provide an operational update on its ongoing oil and gas production enhancement program in west central Texas.

Production Update

During the past three weeks total production has increased 62% to an average of 203 BOEPD (average based on past seven days). Current production mix is approximately 60% light oil and 40% natural gas and condensate. The increase is despite record rainfall and recent flash floods in the immediate area of Wedgemount’s operations.

D-29 Well

Highlighting the increase in production is the Company’s D-29 well which has averaged 34.2 BOEPD over the past nine days including 27 bbls/d of light oil. The excellent production rates are in spite of the fact the Company has performed neither a workover nor a large chemical stimulation on it. The D-29 well had not been in production for six years prior to being turned on by Wedgemount in mid-June. The Company is optimistic that D-29 production can be sustained at current or higher levels after full optimization.

Management Commentary

CEO Mark Vanry comments, “we’re very encouraged by our early well results since our spring financing and in particular the notable performance of our D-29 well which has come on multiples higher than our expectations. There are eight additional inactive wells located on leases immediately adjacent to D-29 so we’re hopeful we’ll see close to similar results once those are back on. Overall, we continue to be slightly ahead of our internal projections for production since our April financing.”

Upcoming Operational Focus

As previously disclosed, the operational team’s focus over our 22,000 acres will be surface and subsurface improvements to increase production, sales and reserve recoveries. In addition, Wedgemount will initiate a development plan focusing on by-passed pay zones and prioritizing future drilling locations on the Company’s large land position. Short term June and July Initiatives will continue to prioritize bringing additional wells onto production, including;

Pump replacements and repairs
Chemical cleanouts of wells
Replacement of legacy electrical components
Further injection well work
Road improvements due to flooding damage

Future Development

Following optimization of the Company’s existing vertical production wells, significant growth potential remains across the balance of Wedgemount’s leases, with an estimated inventory of over 500 drilling locations based on allowable 40-acre well spacing

Bitcoin Well Infinite Named Official Bitcoin Partner Of The Bitcoin Family Office Group

Tue, 23 Jun 2026 05:30:00 MDT

Edmonton, Alberta – June 23rd, 2026 - TheNewswire – Bitcoin Well Inc. (“Bitcoin Well” or the “Company”) (TSXV: BTCW; OTCQB: BCNWF), the non-custodial bitcoin business on a mission to enable independence, today announced that Bitcoin Well Infinite has been named the official Bitcoin partner of The Bitcoin Family Office Group ("TBFOG"), a coordinated platform bringing together independent bitcoin-native firms across wealth, tax, legal, acquisition, and mining.

Partnership Overview

The Bitcoin Family Office Group is a coordination platform that brings together five independent, bitcoin-native firms, spanning wealth advisory, tax/accounting, legal/estate planning, acquisition/liquidity, and mining/custody, into a single integrated experience, aiming to support customers across their bitcoin journey. As the official Bitcoin partner, Bitcoin Well, specifically Bitcoin Well Infinite, will exclusively provide TBFOG clients with bitcoin buying, selling, and settlement, delivered directly to the customer’s personal bitcoin wallet.

Bitcoin Well Infinite joins fellow partner firms Basilic Financial (wealth and planning), Satoshi Pacioli (tax and accounting), Falcon Rappaport & Berkman (legal and estate), and Abundant Mines (mining and custody) on the platform. This exclusive partnership pairs Bitcoin Well Infinite's non-custodial model with TBFOG's focus on long-term, multi-generational wealth.

"We are honored to build The Bitcoin Family Office Group alongside Basilic, Satoshi Pacioli, Falcon Rappaport & Berkman, and Abundant Mines. Each brings deep expertise in their domain. As the exclusive liquidity provider, Bitcoin Well Infinite connects families to coordinated guidance across wealth, tax, legal, and acquisition. Families deserve professionals who speak the same language. TBFOG delivers that." said Chantel Lillycrop-Kostiuk, VP of Operations at Bitcoin Well and responsible for securing this partnership.

“Referral partners are great until it comes time to actually become collaborative partners for a client in order to achieve all of the clients’ goals across several service areas such as financial planning, estate planning, and the tax implications of major financial decisions be them personal or business or both. We recognized that clients do receive this level of coordination but only if they are in the top 1% of wealth. We wanted to ensure that folks who have nest eggs less than $50M were afforded the same level of service and The Bitcoin Family Office was born." said Jordan Guess CPA, Tax Partner, Satoshi Pacioli.

"This started as a simple observation: the Bitcoiners who most needed serious professional guidance were falling through the cracks. They had real wealth but no team that intuitively understood the principles, values and ethos of bitcoin let alone the asset class. Stacking Bitcoin is not a financial plan. At some point a holder's wealth becomes complex enough to demand real strategy across the financial services ecosystem. This group exists so that serious holders get a coordinated team of bitcoin native professionals that seamlessly work together to provide an exceptional client experience. " said Wyatt O’Rourke, Founder, Basilic Financial.

"Bitcoin introduces estate and succession challenges that traditional planning frameworks weren't built to address—private key custody, multi-jurisdictional considerations, and structures that must endure across generations. The Bitcoin Family Office Group, and its dedicated, highly experienced constituent firms, gives our clients something that hasn't existed until now: a coordinated team where every advisor already understands the asset and its unique demands. said Kyle Lawrence, Esq., the Co-Chair of the Digital Assets Practice Group at Falcon Rappaport & Berkman.

"Our Bitcoin mining clients are frequently managing substantial wealth in an industry with a fair amount of complexity, and they often encounter a lack of truly qualified professionals to help them navigate their tax, financial planning, and trust & estate strategies with a bitcoin native lens.

Our participation in this group is a massive unlock for the people we serve who steward great wealth and yearn for a well-integrated cohesive advisory team to help them make the most of their long-term strategy using the best partners, tools, and strategies available in the bitcoin native services market today," said Beau Turner, CEO, Abundant Mines.

This partnership marks a new standard for coordinated, bitcoin-native wealth management. It establishes Bitcoin Well Infinite as a leader in serving the long-term, multi-generational families driving the next wave of bitcoin adoption.

About Bitcoin Well

Bitcoin Well is on a mission to enable independence. We do this by making bitcoin useful to everyday people to give them the convenience of modern banking and the benefits of bitcoin. We like to think of it as future-proofing money. Our existing Bitcoin ATM and Online Bitcoin Portal business units drive cash flow to help fund this mission.

Viva Gold Continues to Expand Gold Mineralization at the Tonopah Gold Project in Nevada

Tue, 23 Jun 2026 05:00:00 MDT

Latest RC drilling extends the new southeast pit area and confirms a new block of gold mineralization on the south side of the deposit; first 15 holes now being incorporated into an updated resource model

VANCOUVER, BC – TheNewswire - June 23, 2026 – Viva Gold Corp (TSXV: VAU; OTCQB: VAUCF) (the “Company” or “Viva”) is pleased to announce additional results from the 2026 reverse-circulation (“RC”) drill program at its Tonopah Gold Project (“Tonopah,” or the “Project”). Tonopah is located on the prolific Walker Lane Mineral Trend in western Nevada, approximately a 30-minute drive south of Kinross Gold’s Round Mountain Mine. Building on previously announced results, today’s results continue to extend known gold mineralization and define new mineralized areas across the deposit – reinforcing the momentum of a program that has returned consistent gold intercepts across the first fifteen holes drilled.

“With each batch of results, the picture at Tonopah gets bigger and clearer. TG2614 defined the width extent of the new southeast trend, while TG2615 builds directly on our earlier TG2608 intercept to establish a new block on gold mineralization of the south side of the deposit. The first fifteen holes of this program are now being incorporated into our updated resource model, and we are encouraged by what we are seeing,” stated James Hesketh, President & CEO.

With assays in hand for fifteen of the nineteen holes, and results for the remaining four expected in the coming weeks, the 2026 program is feeding directly into the updated resource model that will underpin the Company's pre-feasibility study, targeted for Q4 2026.

RC Drill Program Highlights

Highlights of our latest assay returns include:

TG2615: 56.4 m @ 0.35 g/t Au in two zones starting at 32 meters depth
TG2614: 19.8 m @ 1.01 g/t Au in four zones starting at 51.8 meters depth;
TG2612:7.6 m @ 0.34 g/tAu in two zones starting at 56.4 meters depth.

This drill program was designed to infill and upgrade areas of inferred gold mineral resource and undrilled areas currently carried as waste within our 2025 PEA resource pit shell. Additional drilling was performed on open extensions to mineralization outside the PEA pit shell. Nineteen drill holes totaling 3,210 meters have been completed in this program including three exploration holes drilled in the Midway Hills prospect area at Tonopah. Assay results have been received for holes TG2601 to TG2615 with assay returns pending for the remaining four drill holes.

Stellar AfricaGold - 10,000m Auger Drilling Planned To Test 7 Potential Drill Target Areas At The Zuenoula Permit, Cote D'ivoire

Tue, 23 Jun 2026 05:00:00 MDT

Vancouver, BC – June 23, 2026 – TheNewswire - Stellar AfricaGold Inc. (“Stellar” or the “Company”) (TSXV: SPX, TGAT: 6YP and FSX: 6YP) is pleased to announce a 10,000 meter auger drill program at the Stellar-MetalsGrove Joint Venture Zuénoula Gold Project, Cote d’Ivoire.

Highlights

• Joint venture operator MetalsGrove Mining Ltd. (“MetalsGrove”) has consolidated the exploration targets at the Zuénoula Permit into four principal prospects - Fifty-Five, Central, South East and South West Prospects following ongoing technical review and field verification of multiple gold anomalies.

A two-rig, two-stage 10,000-meter auger drilling program is planned to test gold anomalous clusters at the Fifty-Five, Central and South East Prospects, with mobilisation and commencement targeted for end June.
Recent soil geochemistry interpretation has defined a total of 7 Potential Drill Targets within the consolidated4 prospects on the permit. These targets will be progressively refined through ongoing infill soil sampling and auger drilling before drilled by Aircore/Reverse Circulation (AC/RC) or diamond drilling (DD) from late 2026.
Infill soil sampling programs continue across all four prospects at varying grid spacings,with results continuing to enhance target definition and prioritisation for drill testing.

About the Stellar-MetalsGrove Joint Venture Zuénoula Gold Project, Cote d’Ivoire.

The Stellar-MetalsGrove Zuénoula Gold Project is a joint venture exploration project between Stellar’s Ivorian subsidiary Aucrest SARL (“Aucrest”) and MetalsGrove Mining Ltd.’s Ivorian subsidiary MetalsGrove CDI Pty Ltd (MetalsGrove) to advance Stellar’s 395.78 square kilometer early-stage exploration permit called Zuénoula in Côte d’Ivoire (see Figure 2 below). Pursuant to the joint venture agreement MetalsGrove, the project operator, may earn up to a 50% interest in the Zuénoula Gold Project by incurring US$3,000,000 in exploration expenditures and up to an 80% interest in the Zuénoula Gold Project by incurring a total of US$6,000,000 in exploration expenditures. (For further details of the Stellar-MetalsGrove Joint Venture Agreement see Stellar news release December 9, 2025.)

Stellar Management Commentary

Stellar President and CEO J. François Lalonde commented:

"Following extensive soil sampling and target refinement, the joint venture exploration team has consolidated the Zuénoula Permit into four principal prospect areas and are preparing to commence a 10,000-meter auger drilling program across the 7 defined potential drill targets. The program is designed to test the bedrock potential beneath surface gold anomalies and represents a critical step towards AC, RC and diamond drilling later this year.

The definition of seven potential drill targets marks an important milestone in the systematic exploration approach and highlights the growing scale and prospectivity of the Zuénoula Gold Project. Several targets exhibit kilometre-scale strike lengths and remain open to further refinement through ongoing infill soil sampling. With more than 1,700 soil samples currently awaiting assay results, there is significant potential to further expand these targets and discover more targets across the permit.

We look forward to updating shareholders as auger drilling commences and additional soil sampling assay results continue to strengthen the discovery potential at Zuénoula."

MULTIPLE NORTHEAST-TRENDING GOLD ANOMALOUS TRENDS IDENTIFIED

Stellar is pleased to announce the planned commencement of a two-rig, two-stage, 10,000 meter auger drilling program at its Zuénoula Permit in Côte d’Ivoire to test the area’s seven potential drill targets defined from multiple gold anomalies identified through the Company’s systematic soil geochemistry programs.

The joint venture operator has consolidated the exploration targets at the Zuénoula Permit into four principal prospects following ongoing technical review and field verification of multiple gold anomalies identified from completed various surface soil sampling programs to date (Figure 1). The Fifty-Five Prospect now incorporates the original Fifty-Five Prospect and its northeastern extension, while the South East Prospect combines the former Konezra Prospect with the South East Prospect. The Central Prospect and South West Prospect remain unchanged from previous reporting. This refinement provides a clearer framework for exploration targeting and reflects the Company's growing understanding of the distribution and continuity of gold anomalism across the project area.

Figure 1. Zuénoula Soil Sampling Progress Across the Four Consolidated Exploration Prospects

A two-rig, two-stage, 10,000 m auger drilling program within the Fifty-Five, Central and South East Prospects has been designed (Figure 2) to test the most significant gold anomalous clusters identified. Stage 1 will comprise approximately 5,000m of drilling on a nominal 400m × 50m drill pattern, followed by Stage 2 infill drilling on a 250m × 25m spacing, subject to the results obtained from the initial phase. Auger drilling is planned to an average depth of approximately five metres to test the mineralisation potential from the upper saprolite horizon. Results from ongoing soil infill programs across all three auger target areas will be incorporated into final drill planning to further refine and optimise drill line locations prior to commencement. The two-rig mobilisation and commencement date is scheduled for end June 2026.

Interpretation of the current soil geochemistry dataset (Figure 1 & Table 1) has increased the definition of potential drill targets to 7 (Figure 2), each exhibiting kilometre-scale prospective strike length (Figure 3 and 4). These targets will continue to be refined through ongoing infill soil sampling and auger drilling programs, with the objective of defining coherent bedrock-related mineralisation suitable for follow-up AC/RC or DD from late 2026.

Infill soil sampling continues at varying grid spacings across all four prospects at the Zuénoula Permit. To date, assay results have been received for 1,617 soil samples, while a further 1,755 samples are awaiting laboratory analysis. An additional 306 samples are scheduled for collection.

Section 1- Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria	JORC Code Explanation	Commentary
Sampling Techniques	Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specific specialied industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as downhole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc.) These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. Aspects of the determination ofmineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done, this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases, more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.	No drilling has been undertaken on Zuénoula PR-750 All soil samples collected on Zuénoula PR-750 have been analysed for gold by fire assay at Bureau Veritas laboratory in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire. SOIL SAMPLING STAGES Stage 1: Initial, permit-wide, broad-spaced soil sampling on 1000m x 1000m grid Stage 2: Gold anomalous clusters and trends defined by multiple anomalous soil samples (+20ppb Au) are then infilled with soil samples collected on 400m x 400m grid Stage 3: Coherent gold soil anomalies are then infilled with soil samples collected on 200m x 200m grid Stage 4: Higher density 200m x 50m soil sampling to sharpen definition of gold soil anomalies Stage 5: Augering and trenching of coherent gold soil anomalies Stage 6: Drill testing of gold soil and auger anomalies. SOIL SAMPLING PROCEDURES MGA has contracted the experienced consulting group SEMS Exploration Services (SEMS) to conduct all soil sampling Up to four sampling crews may be active at any one time The MGA Exploration Manager was onsite at the start of the field program to instruct the sampling crew on the Standard Sampling Procedure required by MGA MGA provided SEMS Exploration Services with an Excel table listing the designated sample point locations using WGS-84 UTM zone 29N coordinates Each soil sample is collected from within 20 metres of the designated sample point, with the actual sample point then recorded At each sample point: 1) the organic rich soil is brushed away, 2) a 40cm deep hole dug and the sample collected by taking a channel-cut along the bottom 20cm of the hole, 3) 1000g of the minus 2mm sieved fraction of each sample is collected from the sample point, 4) gold is determined by fire assay (LDL 2ppb) Duplicate samples are collected every 20th sample, certified reference material (CRM) inserted every 20th sample, and blanks inserted every 20th sample. Samples are stored at the secure SEMS field compound in Zuénoula prior to transport to Bureau Veritas in Abidjan of gold analysis.

Whether loggingisqualitativeor quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc.) photography. Thetotallengthandpercentage oftherelevantintersections logged.	No drilling has been undertaken Soil samples are comprehensively logged for a range of parameters including colour, soil horizon, sample weight, slope, dominant grain size (clay, silt, sand), general topography, residual or transported, proximity to artisanal workings, other ground disturbances such as field plowing, and general land use (grassland, plantation, crop, etc.).
Sub-sampling Techniques and Sample Preparation	Ifcore,whethercutorsawnand whether quarter, half or all core taken. Ifnon-core,whetherriffled,tube sampled, rotary split, etc. and whether sampled wet or dry. For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stagestomaximise representivity of samples. Measures taken to ensure that thesamplingisrepresentativeof the in-situ material collected, including, for instance, results for field duplicate/second-half sampling. Whethersample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled.	No drilling has been undertaken No sub-sampling of the 1000g soil samples is undertaken prior to the sample arriving at Bureau Veritas laboratory At Bureau Veritas, the entire 1000g sample is pulped prior to the laboratory taking a 50g split for lead collection fire assay determination of gold concentration.
Quality of Assay Data and Laboratory Tests	The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying andlaboratoryproceduresused and whether the technique is considered partial or total. Forgeophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments,etc.,theparameters used in determining the analysis, including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrationfactorsapplied,and their derivation, etc. Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, externallaboratorychecks)and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been established.	Bureau Veritas is an internationally accredited assay laboratory located in Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire. Assay results for all samples presented in the announcement were determined by fire assay (Lab Code: FE450, LDL 2ppb), which is a total gold extraction method for analysis. The lower detection limit (LDL) of 2ppb is considered appropriate for greenfields, early stage, exploration soil sampling Fire assay gold is considered one of the most reliable assay techniques for gold analyses.
Verification of Sampling and Assaying	The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. Theuseoftwinnedholes. Documentationofprimarydata, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. Discussanyadjustmentstoassay data.	FIRE ASSAY ANALYSIS All samples have been analysed for gold by fire assay at Bureau Veritas laboratory in Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire The 1000g -2mm sample collected in the field is analysed for gold by fire assay (Lab Code: FE450, LDL 2ppb) At the laboratory, the 1000g -2mm sample is dried and pulverised to 85% passing 75 microns. This sample pulp is then mixed with a combination of chemical reagents, which when heated to high temperatures results in the formation of a lead button and slag. The lead button that contains the precious metals (including gold) is cupelled at high temperature. The lead is adsorbed by the cupel leaving behind a bead that contains the precious metals. The bead is acid digested and analysed by AAS, with a lower detection limit of 2ppb Au
Location of Data Points	Accuracy and qualityof surveys used to locate drillholes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. Specification of the grid system used. Quality and adequacy of topographic control.	A handheld GPS is used to locate the soil data positions, with a +/-5m vertical and horizontal accuracy Sample locations (UTM WGS-84 zone 29N) and sample descriptions are noted on a standard form in the field and entered on a computer. GPS measurements of sample positions are sufficiently accurate for exploration targeting gold systems.
Data Spacing and Distribution	Data spacing for reporting Exploration Results. Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geologicalandgradecontinuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. Whethersamplecompositing hasbeenapplied.	An 1,000m x 1,000m offset grid pattern has been adopted for the entire permit area, excluding areas of irrigated sugar cane and villages. Broad-spaced soil sampling (1000m by 1000m) and low level gold fire assay analysis (LDL 2ppb) is considered an effective technique for identifying and delimiting gold anomalous clusters and trends, which are then followed up with higher density sampling at 400m 400m, 200m x 200m, and in some areas 200m x 50m, as the next phases of sampling ahead of trenching, augering, and drill testing of coherent gold soil anomalies.
Orientation of data in relation to geological al structure	Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material.	The sample location configuration has been deliberately planned to avoid directional bias.
Sample security	The measures taken to ensure sample security.	1000g of -2mm sieved fraction of soil samples are collected in plastic bags, assigned individual sample numbers and transported to the secure SEMS compound in Zuénoula Samples have been analysed by fire assay at Bureau Veritas in Côte d’Ivoire and were personally transported to the laboratory by a senior member of the MetalsGrove Abidjan-based exploration team.
Audits or Reviews	The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data.	The sampling and assay techniques adopted by MetalsGrove has been effectively used in the Vavoua-Kounahiri district, and more widely in Cte d’Ivoire, to define drill targets and it is considered an effective initial approach for defining gold anomalous lithogeochemical trends.

Thailand Launches FastPass Program, Unlocking USD 21 billion in Strategic High-Tech Investment

Tue, 23 Jun 2026 04:05:00 MDT

BANGKOK, THAILAND - Media OutReach Newswire - 23 June 2026 - Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul formally launched Thailand FastPass at Government House, mobilizing over USD 21 billion (approximately 700 billion baht) in strategic high-tech investment. The program integrates eight government agencies to cut regulatory approval timelines by up to 50 percent, accelerating approved investments from license to operating factory.

FastPass targets high-value sectors including advanced electronics, aerospace technology, precision machinery and automation systems, and recycled plastics.

By coordinating eight key government agencies—including Thailand's Board of Investment (BOI), the Department of Industrial Works, the Customs Department, the Office of Natural Resources and Environmental Policy and Planning (ONEP), the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand (IEAT), the Energy Regulatory Commission, the Metropolitan Electricity Authority, and the Provincial Electricity Authority—the initiative removes historical friction in permitting, environmental approvals, and infrastructure connectivity.

At the ceremony, the eight agencies formalized their coordination by signing a memorandum of understanding (MOU) committing to reduce approval and licensing timelines by 20 to 50 percent across key investment milestones, including factory permits, free-zone processing, environmental impact assessments, and power grid connections.

The ceremony drew more than 300 attendees, including foreign diplomats, international chambers of commerce, and multinational executives.

"In today's global economy, speed is the ultimate competitive differentiator," said Mr. Anutin Charnvirakul, Prime Minister of Thailand. "The Thai government is shifting from regulator to active business facilitator. By removing regulatory hurdles, increasing speed, and ensuring policy transparency, we are driving physical investments that will generate next-generation employment and secure Thailand's long-term regional competitiveness."

The push to turn approved projects into physical factories follows a historic surge in investment applications. BOI received a record USD 54.5 billion (approximately 1.8 trillion baht) in investment applications in 2025. Momentum has carried into 2026, with first-quarter applications already exceeding USD 30.3 billion (approximately 1 trillion baht).

The USD 21 billion total spans two FastPass cohorts. In the first phase, FastPass resolved regulatory bottlenecks for 76 previously approved projects valued at over USD 14.4 billion (approximately 474 billion baht). Today's ceremony launched the second cohort: 25 projects from 23 companies worth USD 6.7 billion (approximately 223 billion baht), each receiving a formal Thailand FastPass certificate.

"We are focusing heavily on 'realized investment' entering the actual economy," said Mr. Ekniti Nitithanprapas, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance. "The FastPass mechanism is designed to deliver immediate, concrete economic results in the short term, while laying down long-term structural benefits that will distribute wealth across our broader economy. These 25 pilot projects from 23 companies are projected to generate over 13,000 high-skilled jobs. Combined with the 76 projects cleared under FastPass in the preceding phase, total investment mobilized by the program exceeds 700 billion baht."

This mechanism converts corporate capital into domestic benefits across five key dimensions: driving investment-led GDP growth, generating high-skilled careers, transferring technical know-how, integrating local SMEs, and creating localized economic multipliers within regional communities.

"The FastPass program fundamentally changes how Thailand works with global investors," said Mr. Narit Therdsteerasukdi, Secretary-General of the BOI. "We put eight agencies into one pipeline. Permit timelines that once stretched for months can now be cut by up to half. That gets factories built, creates high-skilled jobs, and pulls Thai suppliers into global supply chains."

Global corporations participating in the FastPass program cited Thailand's strategic location, modern infrastructure, robust supply chains, skilled workforce, and favorable investment policies as the key drivers for their expansion.

"Thailand possesses the talent, infrastructure, and policy support necessary for next-generation industries," said Mr. Simon Gwozdz, CEO of Equatorial Space (Thailand) Co., Ltd., a developer of low-Earth orbit space launch vehicles. "The BOI's one-stop coordination significantly reduces regulatory complexity."

"The availability of raw materials, infrastructure, and proactive government support were critical in our decision to anchor our regional operations here," said Mr. Donald Carpenter, CFO of U.S.-based PureCycle Technologies, Inc. "The FastPass mechanism directly improves our operational efficiency."

"The speed of obtaining factory licenses under the scheme has accelerated our operational readiness, creating a smoother path to scale," said Mr. Larry Foo of SAM Precision (Thailand), a Malaysia-based manufacturer of precision components for the semiconductor industry.

"The depth of Thailand's electronics supply chain and supportive state policies were critical to our investment decision," said Mr. Kris Leetavorn, Director of Advanced Connection Technology, a high-density printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturer. "The FastPass program drastically simplifies state coordination, allowing us to hit aggressive deployment timelines."

To demonstrate Thailand's readiness for advanced industries, the government showcased technologies currently being deployed or manufactured in Thailand, including humanoid robotics, LiDAR sensor systems, aerospace technology, and advanced electronics.

"Thailand FastPass proves what is possible when all agencies move in the same direction—approved investments actually get built," Mr. Narit concluded. "The world is reshuffling supply chains. Investors need clarity and speed. Thailand is ready to deliver both. We will keep expanding FastPass to cover more permits and more strategic industries, creating quality jobs, strengthening supply chains, and raising Thailand's long-term competitiveness."

Generation Uranium Integrates MMT Survey into Historic Targets and Investigates AI Targeting

Tue, 23 Jun 2026 01:05:00 MDT

2024–2025 MMT Survey Integration

(see Figure 1 below or original release if clipped out here)

MMT surveys targeting unconformity style uranium systems focus on three key elements:

• Graphitic Conductor Fault Zones - High grade unconformity uranium deposits globally are associated with basement fault zones enriched in graphite, which is highly conductive.

• Hydrothermal Alteration Halos - Uranium bearing acidic fluids alter surrounding sandstone or host rocks, producing conductivity highs (clay alteration) or resistivity highs (silicification).

• Deep Structural Controls - Understanding the architecture of deep structures helps identify pathways for uranium bearing fluid migration.

Advancing Toward Drill‑Ready Targets

The Company continues to integrate the MMT dataset with historic results from the Yath Project, including:

Surface samples up to 9.8% U₃O₈ at the Embryo target
1.0 m at 0.224% U₃O₈ from 25.5 m in drillhole BOG‑8‑80

This work is advancing the definition and prioritization of the most prospective drill targets for discovery.

Hong Kong unlocks new opportunities with Central Asia

Tue, 23 Jun 2026 01:00:00 MDT

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 23 June 2026 - Led by Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), John Lee, a high-level delegation visit to Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan (May 31 - June 5) is already paying dividends, forging fresh opportunities to deepen ties between Central Asia, Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland.

The business delegation comprised over 70 representatives from Hong Kong and Mainland enterprises of various sectors.

During the visit, 96 bilateral memoranda of understanding and agreements were reached, including a total of 15 co-operation documents at the government level between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan respectively.

A high-level Hong Kong business delegation's visit to Kazakhstan has unlocked new opportunities.

https://youtu.be/LgPe9R4ThII?si=Tw3RR_-vyRR6DLMU

"The examples of agreements and co-operation are just so abundant that they range from the service sector to heavy industries such as mining and infrastructure development," Mr Lee said. "I think the sky is the limit."

The multiple outcomes achieved during the trip demonstrate Hong Kong's role as a functional platform for the Belt and Road (B&R) Initiative, as the city actively plays its roles as a "super connector" and "super value-adder" to promote broader and deeper co-operation between the two places and establish a hub-to-hub co-operation model.

"Kazakhstan is an important commercial and logistics hub connecting China and Europe. It is also the place where the Belt and Road Initiative was first proposed, and is Hong Kong's largest trading partner in Central Asia. There are broad prospects for further co-operation," Mr Lee said, adding that a lot of B&R projects are also being pursued in Uzbekistan.

"For example, Uzbekistan sits in the heart of the corridor of Asia and Europe, so logistical development, railway development, and also how we can complement and supplement each other in cargo handling will be an area for a very wide range of co-operation."

New partnerships have emerged following a high-level Hong Kong business delegation's visit to Uzbekistan.

https://youtu.be/3BHeD0NGioo?si=xCPWMCpGCPsRm2kF

The Chief Executive also encouraged companies in Central Asia to leverage Hong Kong's advantages under the "one country, two systems" principle.

"Under this unique principle, Hong Kong has its own economic, social, legal, legislative and judicial systems. We are the only common law jurisdiction in China. We have our own currency, with no capital or foreign exchange controls. We are, as well, a separate customs territory," Mr Lee said.

Building on the positive outcomes from the delegation's mission to Central Asia, Mr Lee welcomed the Deputy Prime Minister of Kazakhstan, Kanat Bozumbayev, to Hong Kong (June 10) and they both attended the Alatau City Investment Round Table (June 11).

"We share a development vision with Alatau City and Kazakhstan," Mr Lee said, "Today, right here, right now, is a golden opportunity to bring our two economies closer together."

He looked forward to Hong Kong and Kazakhstan achieving complementary advantages and co-ordinated development across different sectors and welcomed enterprises in Kazakhstan to make good use of Hong Kong's premier financial and innovation and technology platforms, as well as its world-leading professional services, to explore more business opportunities.

Biocure Technology Inc. enters into exclusive Letter Agreement to acquire Glorious Success Limited in Reverse Takeover Transaction

Mon, 22 Jun 2026 19:40:00 MDT

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - TheNewswire - June 22, 2026 -- Biocure Technology Inc. (“CURE” or the “Company”) (CSE: CURE) announces that it has entered into a binding letter agreement dated June 22, 2026 with Glorious Success Limited. (“GSL”) whereby the Company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of GSL (the “Transaction”). The Transaction will be a business combination completed by way of a share exchange, share purchase, amalgamation, arrangement, takeover bid, or other similar form of transaction.

Upon the successful completion of the proposed Transaction, it is anticipated that the Company will carry on the business of GSL (the “Resulting Issuer”). The Transaction constitutes a ‘reverse takeover’ of the Company and is an arm’s length transaction. Upon completion of the Transaction, it is expected that GSL will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Transaction Summary

Pursuant to the Transaction, the Company will consolidate its existing share capital on the basis of a ratio determined by the price of GSL securities in the Private Placement (as defined below) divided by a deemed value of $0.134 (the “Consolidation”), currently expected to result in a consolidation ratio equal to approximately 16.42 old shares for one new common share (the “Resulting Issuer Shares”).

As consideration for the outstanding shares of GSL (the “GSL Shares”), including GSL Shares issuable in the Private Placement and GSL Debt Settlement (as defined below), the Company will issue Resulting Issuer Shares on the basis of a formula set forth below (the “Exchange Ratio”):

Number of Resulting Issuer Shares issued =	CAD$25,000,000 + CAD$ amount of Private Placement and GSL Debt Settlement
	Price of the Private Placement

Based on the expected terms of the Private Placement and GSL Debt Settlement as described below, it is expected that an aggregate of 11,363,636 Resulting Issuer Shares will be issued to existing holders and GSL Shares prior to completion of the Private Placement and GSL Debt Settlement. Following completion of the Consolidation, Transaction, Private Placement and debt settlements described below (including the GSL Debt Settlement), the Resulting Issuer is expected to have 15,980,788 Resulting Issuer Shares outstanding of which

existing shareholders of the Company will represent 8.1% of the outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares.

No advances to be made by the Company to GSL are contemplated by the letter agreement and no finder’s fees are payable in connection with the Transaction, but each of Collin Kim, Konstantin Lichtenwald (directors and officers of the Company) and Steven Pearce (advisor to the Company) will be entitled to receive a bonus for their services to the Company in association with the Transaction, equivalent to 250,000 Resulting Issuer Shares each (the “Bonus Shares”). The issuance of the Bonus Shares will be conditional upon the successful completion of the Transaction and the approval of the CSE. As Mssrs. Kim and Lichtenwald are directors or officers of the Company, the issuance of the Bonus Shares will constitute a “related party transaction” as defined in MI 61-101. The Company expects to rely on exemptions from the formal valuation requirements of MI 61-101, pursuant to Subsection 5.5(b) of MI-61-101 (as the Company's common shares are listed only on the CSE), and from the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101, pursuant to Subsection 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 (as the fair market value of the Bonus Shares to be issued to insiders is not expected to exceed 25 per cent of the Company's market capitalization, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101). The Bonus Shares will be subject to applicable resale restrictions under securities laws.

GSL has agreed to pay to CURE a fee of $10,000 per month as an exclusivity fee pending the execution of the definitive transaction agreement (the “Definitive Agreement”). GSL has also agreed to pay or reimburse all of the Company’s costs associated with the Transaction.

The Transaction is subject to a number of terms and conditions, including, but not limited to, the completion of satisfactory due diligence, the parties entering into the Definitive Agreement with respect to the Transaction on or before September 15, 2026 (such agreement to include representations, warranties, conditions and covenants typical for a transaction of this nature), the completion of the Consolidation, the completion of the Private Placement as further described below, the completion of debt settlements by both GSL and the Company as further described below, the approval of the shareholders of the Company and GSL (if required), and the approval of the CSE and other applicable regulatory authorities. There can be no assurances that the parties will enter into a Definitive Agreement in respect of the Transaction, or that the Transaction will be completed on the terms proposed above or at all. The completion of the Definitive Agreement is subject to satisfactory due diligence results and satisfactory negotiations between the parties.

Further details concerning the Transaction (including additional information concerning GSL) and other matters will be announced if and when a Definitive Agreement is reached.

All dollar figures referenced herein, unless otherwise specified, refer to Canadian dollars.

Information Concerning GSL

GSL is a Hong Kong holding company and the sole shareholder of Idea Paragon Inc., a South Korea-based mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion and sports media company operating as Black Combat. As of December 31, 2025, GSL reported US$4.59 million in assets, US$4.24 million in liabilities and US$2.83 million in revenues (unaudited pro forma combined information). Prior to the completion of the Transaction, approximately US$1.73 million of GSL’s liabilities will be converted into GSL Shares as mentioned in “Debt Settlements” below.

Traumahaft Pte Ltd., a private Singapore company owned and controlled by Park Pyounghwa holds 6,877,000 GSL Shares, representing 68.77% of the currently outstanding GSL Shares (prior to completion of the Private Placement or GSL Debt Settlement).

GSL is entitled to select a Chief Executive Officer for the Resulting Issuer. Details regarding the anticipated directors and officers of the Resulting Issuer will be included in a subsequent release.

Private Placement

Pursuant to the letter agreement, it is a condition of the Transaction that GSL complete a private placement for aggregate gross proceeds of at least $3,090,000 at a price of $2.20 per GSL Share (the “Private Placement”). GSL Shares issuable pursuant to the Private Placement will be exchanged for Resulting Issuer Shares on the basis of the Exchange Ratio.

Cash finder’s fees of 8% of the proceeds raised are expected to be payable in connection with the Private Placement.

The Resulting Issuer intends to use the net proceeds of the private placement to fund the Transaction, to develop its business and for working capital.

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell and is not a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities in the United States. The securities of the Company and GSL have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”) or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws unless pursuant to an exemption from such registration.

Shareholder Meeting

Approval for the Transaction, including the Consolidation, will be sought from the Company’s shareholders at a meeting to be held on a date to be determined.

Name Change

Upon completion of the Transaction, the Company intends to change its name to a new name to be determined by the parties and the parties expect that the CSE will assign a new trading symbol for the Resulting Issuer.

Debt Settlements

As conditions of the Transaction, both GSL and the Company will settle outstanding debts through the issuance of securities.

The Company plans to settle approximately $300,000 in debt owed to various parties through the issuance of pre-Consolidation common shares of the Company at a price of $0.134 per share (the “Settlement Shares”), subject to the approval of the CSE. Portions of the indebtedness are expected to be settled with members of the Company’s management team and will constitute a “related party transaction” as defined in MI 61-101. The Company expects to rely on exemptions from the formal valuation requirements of MI 61-101, pursuant to Subsection 5.5(b) of MI-61-101 (as the Company's common shares are listed only on the CSE), and from the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101, pursuant to Subsection 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 (as the fair market value of the Settlement Sares to be issued to insiders is not expected to exceed 25 per cent of the Company's market capitalization, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101). The Settlement Shares will be subject to applicable resale restrictions under securities laws.

GSL plans to settle approximately $2,410,000 in historical share subscriptions receivable (unrelated to the Private Placement) through the issuance of GSL Shares at a deemed price of $2.20 per GSL Share (the “GSL Debt Settlement”). GSL Shares issued pursuant to the GSL Debt Settlement will be exchange for Resulting Issuer Shares on the basis of the Exchange Ratio.

Transition.inc Introduces TranFin Energy-as-a-Service Platform and Announces Financing

Mon, 22 Jun 2026 15:30:00 MDT

June 22, 2026 - TORONTO, ON - TheNewswire - Clean Energy Transition Inc. (TSX-V: TRAN) (“transition.inc” or the “Company”) is pleased to introduce Transition Finance or “TranFin”, a new Energy-as-a-Service (“EaaS”) pilot, in Canada’s growing residential clean energy industry and announces a non-brokered private placement of up to 7,500,000 units of the Company (the “Equity-Royalty Units” or “ERUs”) at a price of $0.05 per ERU for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $375,000 (the “Financing”). Importantly, the Financing is being structured as two separate offerings, a non brokered private placement of up to 7,500,000 units (“Units”) at a price of $0.04 per Unit (“Unit Offering”) and concurrent offering of up to 7,500,000 contractual royalty rights (“Royalty Rights”) at a price of $0.01 per Royalty Right (“Concurrent Offering”).

TranFin Pilot

TranFin represents a new line of business for the Company, ancillary to its current portfolio of Critical Minerals assets. In connection with the EaaS pilot, TranFin will partner with installers of residential battery, solar and heat pump projects (collectively, “Energy Assets”) to offer a new model for their prospective clients: third-party ownership (“TPO”). In this new model, TranFin will fund, own and maintain the Energy Assets, as they are hosted at the client’s location. The Energy Assets will remain fully owned, monitored and maintained by TranFin, providing the homeowner with access to the benefits of those assets under a subscription model. TranFin plans to launch a pilot phase in the coming months, during which it expects to deploy an initial portfolio of Energy Assets (the “Pilot Portfolio”).

TranFin: Third-party ownership for residential clean energy assets

TranFin is being developed to remove the upfront-cost barrier for homeowners seeking residential clean energy upgrades, while giving installers a new way to close projects. Under the proposed model, TranFin would fund, own, monitor, and maintain residential batteries, solar systems, heat pumps, and related bundled projects, while homeowners would receive the benefits of those Energy Assets through a predictable long-term subscription fee.

TranFin is intended to create a compelling value proposition across the market. For homeowners, the model is designed to provide access to Energy Assets with no upfront cost. For installers, TranFin is intended to provide installers with an additional financing alternative for prospective customers who prefer not to incur upfront costs. For the Company and its funding partners, the objective is to build a portfolio of owned Energy Assets designed to generate long-term, recurring subscription revenue.

TranFin is a new line of business for the Company, but it builds on the experience of management and the Company’s Board in energy, energy services, capital markets, project development and residential services. It also has a natural link to the Company’s existing Critical Minerals Division, which includes potential nickel for batteries and potential silica/quartz feedstock for silicon metal used in solar supply chains, as outlined in transition.inc’s Critical Minerals Investor Update posted in February 2026.

TranFin plans to begin with a Pilot Phase for the TPO structure in the coming months, focused initially on residential battery projects, primarily across the Canadian Maritimes. The Pilot Phase is intended to allow the Company to test the EaaS model, refine its documentation and operating processes, and work with an initial installer-partner before its Ramp Phase. During the Pilot Phase, the Company also plans to continue discussions currently underway with funding groups regarding potential debt financing for TranFin’s Ramp Phase, which is expected to include solar and battery-solar combinations, additional Canadian markets and additional installer relationships.

TranFin continues to seek discussions with qualified Canadian installers that have residential battery, solar, heat pump or bundled project pipelines and are looking for a TPO solution for customers who prefer not to pay upfront. Interested installers are encouraged to contact the Company through info@transition.inc.

“TranFin reflects a broader energy transition opportunity that TRAN has been developing since our strategic pivot two years ago,” said Sean Samson, President and CEO. “We believe Energy-as-a-Service and third-party ownership can become important tools in the Canadian residential energy market, while also creating a natural strategic link to our existing Critical Minerals assets. With homeowners focused on affordability, resilience and energy security, TranFin is designed to help make clean energy upgrades more accessible, while giving installers a new way to grow their businesses.”

The Company remains a resource issuer focused on its portfolio of Critical Minerals assets and will continue to assess the development of TranFin in the context of applicable TSXV policies, including Policy 5.2.

The Financing

The Financing will be marketed as Equity-Royalty Units, with each ERU consisting of one Unit and one Royalty Right. Each Unit will be offered at a price of $0.04 per Unit and each Royalty Right will be offered at a price of $0.01 per Royalty Right, for an aggregate subscription price of $0.05 per ERU.

Unit Offering

In connection with the Unit Offering, the Company will issue up to 7,500,000 Units at a price of $0.04 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $300,000. Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company (a “Share”) and one common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one additional Share at a price of $0.08 per Share for a period of two years from closing, subject to the Company’s option to accelerate the expiry date if the volume-weighted average price of the Shares on the TSXV equals or exceeds $0.10 per Share for any 10 consecutive trading sessions.

Concurrent Offering

In connection with the Concurrent Offering, the Company will issue up to 7,500,000 Royalty Rights at a price of $0.01 per Royalty Right for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $75,000. The Royalty Right entitles holders, on a pro rata basis by number of Royalty Rights held relative to the total Royalty Rights issued in the Concurrent Offering, to receive quarterly distributions in arrears equal to 50% of the Company’s Cash Flow for Distribution (“CFD”) generated by the Energy Assets of TranFin’s Pilot Phase (the “Pilot Portfolio”). For this purpose, CFD means the gross subscription revenues actually received from the Pilot Portfolio, less: (i) a credit loss provision; (ii) cost-to-serve, including maintenance reserves, insurance premiums and other direct or reasonably allocated costs of owning, operating, billing, collecting, monitoring, maintaining and servicing the Pilot Portfolio; and (iii) applicable taxes. The Company will retain the remaining 50% of CFD.

The total cumulative distributions payable to all holders of Royalty Rights, in the aggregate, will be capped at 50% of the total proceeds from the Financing (the “Distribution Cap”). Upon reaching the Distribution Cap, all Royalty Rights will automatically terminate. Each Royalty Right will remain in effect from the deployment of the Pilot Portfolio until the earlier of: (i) reaching the Distribution Cap; or (ii) the completion of the term of all underlying Pilot Portfolio projects. The Concurrent Offering is expected to be completed by way of Royalty Right certificates, subject to modification based on business, tax, accounting, regulatory and other considerations.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Financing to fund the Pilot Portfolio (expected to be at least 50% of net proceeds) and for general corporate and working capital purposes. The Royalty Rights will be contractual rights only and will not constitute common shares, warrants, debt securities or other equity securities of the Company.

The securities issued pursuant to the Unit Offering shall be subject to a four-month and one-day statutory hold period from the date of issue in accordance with applicable securities laws. In connection with the Unit Offering, the Company may pay finder’s fees in cash, securities, or a combination thereof in accordance with applicable securities laws. Completion of the Unit Offering and Concurrent Offering is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the TSXV.

“The Equity-Royalty Unit is a nuanced structure that our Board believes fairly incentivizes investors to participate with us in this new endeavour, providing the potential for not only equity price appreciation, but also the potential to receive distributions over time of up to half their original invested amount,” said Sean Samson.

Investor Update Presentation on Wednesday

A new investor presentation for the Company, focused specifically on the TranFin rollout, is now posted at transition.inc. Consistent with recent practice, the Company’s management also intends to post a management update to the Company’s website on Wednesday, June 24 at 4:15 p.m. (EDT), which will walk through the posted slides and provide additional colour around the new EaaS line of business.

About Clean Energy Transition Inc.

Transition.inc is focused on opportunities to generate positive cash flow across the energy transition. The Company currently holds a portfolio of Critical Minerals assets, including the Aurora Nickel Project in Ontario, where it is advancing a potential low-carbon production opportunity to supply growing North American demand for nickel, and high-quality Silica/Quartz projects at Snow White in Ontario and Silicon Ridge in Québec, which may serve as feedstock for silicon metal used in solar energy systems and advanced manufacturing. Alongside the Critical Minerals assets, transition.inc is also looking for additional opportunities, more broadly, from across the energy transition. Today’s announcement launching TranFin, an Energy-as-a-Service platform for Canadian homeowners, is one of those opportunities.

Metalite Resources Enters Into Definitive Agreement to Acquire Launay Gold Property and Receives Shareholder Approval

Mon, 22 Jun 2026 10:45:00 MDT

TORONTO, ON – TheNewswire - June 22, 2026 – Metalite Resources Inc. (CSE: METL) (OTC Pink: JNCCF) (FSE: D680) ("Metalite" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement dated June 19, 2026 (the “Definitive Agreement”) with Launay Gold Corp. (“Launay”) and Cachee Gold Mines Corp. (“Cachee”), pursuant to which Metalite has agreed to acquire, directly or indirectly, a 100% undivided interest in and to the Launay Gold Property located in Québec, Canada (the “Launay Gold Property” or the “Transaction”), subject to certain pre-existing net smelter return royalties.

Chris Hazelton, CEO of Metalite, commented: "Entering into the Definitive Agreement for the Launay Gold Property represents an important step in building Metalite’s portfolio of mineral exploration projects. The addition of Launay, located in Québec’s Abitibi region, complements the Company’s existing 100%-owned Arthurs Seat Silver-Antimony project in New South Wales, Australia. We believe the Company will be well positioned to advance both assets through focused technical evaluation, exploration planning and target development."

Definitive Agreement Transaction Terms

Pursuant to the Definitive Agreement, Metalite will acquire, directly or indirectly, a 100% undivided interest in the Launay Gold Property in consideration for the issuance of 6,000,000 common shares of Metalite to Launay or its designated nominee in accordance with the terms of the Definitive Agreement (the “Consideration Shares”).

Shareholder Approval and New Control Person

As disclosed in the Company’s March 23, 2026 news release (link to the press release), the Transaction was originally contemplated as an acquisition by Metalite of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Launay from Cachee. Pursuant to the Definitive Agreement, the Transaction has been restructured as an asset purchase pursuant to which Metalite will acquire, directly or indirectly, a 100% undivided interest in the Launay Gold Property from Launay. The issuance of the Consideration Shares is expected to result in Launay or its designated nominee becoming a new “control person” (as such term is defined in the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE")) of Metalite. In accordance with applicable CSE policies, the creation of a new control person requires shareholder approval.

The Company is pleased to announce that it has obtained such approval by written consent from holders of 7,552,190 common shares of Metalite, representing approximately 72.9% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company. Accordingly, the shareholder approval condition relating to the creation of a new control person has been satisfied.

The Transaction remains subject to final acceptance of the CSE and the satisfaction or waiver of all remaining closing conditions. The Company currently expects the Transaction to close after the expiry of the required five-business-day period following the filing of all applicable documents under CSE policies.

Mineral Claims

The Launay Gold Property is comprises 314 mineral claims in Québec (the “Launay Mineral Claims”). Of these claims, 74 are transferable at closing following receipt of approval from the Ministère des Ressources naturelles et des Forêts of Québec (“MRNF”) (the “Transferable Claims”). The balance of 240 claims are conditionally transferable following completion of the minimum required exploration commitments applicable to such claims (the “Conditionally Transferable Claims”), as further described in the section “Exploration Commitments” below.

At closing of the Transaction, the Transferable Claims will be transferred to Metalite or a subsidiary of Metalite. With respect to the Conditionally Transferable Claims, Launay and Metalite will enter into a bare trust agreement pursuant to which Launay will transfer a 100% beneficial interest in the Conditionally Transferable Claims to Metalite or a subsidiary of Metalite as of the closing date of the Transaction (the “Closing Date”). Launay will retain registered ownership of the Conditionally Transferable Claims pending satisfaction of the applicable work commitments required to permit registered transfer under MRNF requirements.

In the event Metalite does not complete the required exploration commitments in respect of any Conditionally Transferable Claims prior to the applicable deadline and such failure results in the cancellation of any such claims, there will be no adjustment to the number of Consideration Shares issuable under the Definitive Agreement, and neither Launay nor Cachee will have any liability to Metalite in respect thereof.

Exploration Commitments

Pursuant to the Definitive Agreement, Metalite has agreed to incur expenditures on the Launay Gold Property of at least $500,000 within 12 months following the Closing Date and an additional $1,500,000 within the subsequent 18-month period, for aggregate expenditures of $2,000,000 (the “Exploration Commitments”). If Metalite fails to incur the Exploration Commitments within the specified timeframes, Launay will have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase the Launay Gold Property for a total purchase price of $1.00, in accordance with the terms of the Definitive Agreement.

Property Acquisition History and Prior Work

Launay initially acquired the Launay Gold Property in late 2010 from an arm’s length party and has acquired and staked additional claims comprising the Launay Gold Property on a number of occasions, including an aggressive acquisition program in late 2020 focused on consolidating the available land holdings in the district. The aggregate acquisition cost, to Launay, was approximately $400,000, which is comprised of consideration paid to third parties, claim staking and claim maintenance.

Since acquiring the Launay Gold Property, Launay has conducted work that included geological compilation, prospecting, sampling, geophysical and geochemical surveys, line cutting, trenching, drilling and other, with aggregate expenditures of approximately $1.4 million. The results of this work have been used to support the Company’s initial exploration planning and target development for the Launay Gold Property. Assessment work reports relating to certain of the foregoing exploration work have been filed by Launay with the MRNF, as the applicable Québec mining authority, and are available through SIGÉOM, Québec’s online geology and mining information system.

Closing Mechanics and Post-Closing Matters

Pursuant to the Definitive Agreement, the board of directors of Metalite will be reconstituted following the Closing Date and will comprise five directors, four of whom will be nominated by Metalite and one of whom will be nominated by Cachee, subject to applicable regulatory requirements and approvals.

Alex Storcheus will be appointed Chairman of the board of directors of Metalite. Mr. Storcheus is Cachee’s nominee to the board. Mr. Storcheus has worked at FMI Capital Partners, a private merchant and investment banking group based in Toronto, since 2010, and is currently Partner and COO. His experience includes financial and strategic advisory activities in the small-cap space, including mergers and acquisitions and going-public transactions. Mr. Storcheus currently serves as Director and CEO of Cachee and is a CFA charterholder.

The Consideration Shares will be subject to an extended hold period expiring on the later of: (i) four months following the Closing Date; and (ii) ten trading days following the date on which Metalite files a technical report in respect of the Launay Gold Property prepared in accordance with the National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

The Consideration Shares may also be subject to escrow requirements under applicable CSE policies, depending on the size of the recipient’s holdings and its relationship to Metalite following the Closing Date.

The Consideration Shares will be issued at a deemed price of $0.20, equal to approximately 25% discount to the closing price of the Company's common shares on June 19, 2025, being the maximum discount permitted under the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE"). For purposes of the CSE policies, the deemed issue price of the Consideration Shares will be equal to the "Discounted Market Price" (as such term is defined in the policies of the CSE), representing aggregate deemed consideration of $1,200,000.

No finder’s fee is payable by the Company in connection with the Transaction.

Western Star Resources Mobilises to the Past Producing White Star Tungsten Project and Commences Drone Geophysics

Mon, 22 Jun 2026 06:30:00 MDT

Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - June 22, 2026 - Western Star Resources Inc. (CSE: WSR) (OTC: WSRIF) (the “Company” or “Western Star”) is pleased to announce that field crews have mobilised to the Company’s 100% owned White Star Tungsten Project in Elko County, Nevada, USA, to commence the planned 2026 exploration program.

The White Star Project is located in the Charleston Mining District, adjacent to the Company’s Rowland Tungsten Property, and was recently acquired by Western Star.

Key Highlights:

Field crews have mobilised to the White Star Tungsten Project to commence the first modern exploration program on the property and surrounding the past producing Mission Cross Mine workings.
Initial activities include a property-wide high-resolution UAV magnetic geophysical survey, and a systematic soil geochemistry survey.
UAV magnetic survey results expected over the coming weeks; rock-chip and soil samples will be submitted to the laboratory for certified assay.

Figure 1: Drone being deployed at the White Star Tungsten Project.

Blake Morgan, the CEO and President of Western Star, stated “Mobilising to White Star, with the Rowland program already underway and Eagle Point just acquired in New Mexico, gives Western Star three active U.S. tungsten projects on the ground in 2026. White Star sits in the same skarn setting as Rowland and similar to Rowland, largely under-explored. Running an integrated drone magnetic survey and a focused soil and rock-chip program across the White Star workings is the fastest path to defining drill targets and matching what we have already done at Rowland.”

Program at White Star

The initial White Star program will mirror the integrated workflow being applied at Rowland and comprises the following core workstreams;

A property-wide UAV magnetic survey, providing the first modern high-resolution geophysical dataset across the project
Systematic mapping and ground-truthing of the historical Mine workings, including open-pit and underground workings, surface trenches, shafts, adits, and waste dumps.
Reconnaissance soil sampling across the broader White Star claim package, including ground between the White Star workings and the adjoining Rowland Property.

Next Steps

The Company expects to receive preliminary processed geophysical products from the contractor over the coming weeks. Soil samples will be submitted for certified laboratory analysis, with assay results to be released once received and interpreted. The combined White Star and Rowland datasets are intended to support a single, district-scale geological model spanning the consolidated Jarbidge–Charleston tungsten footprint.

Westward Gold Announces Commencement of Drilling & Provides Update on Field Activities at the Toiyabe Hills Property, Nevada

Mon, 22 Jun 2026 05:30:00 MDT

The first of three drill rigs has now begun drilling at the Property, following completion of a 468-metre trenching program at the SSD Target

1:5000-scale Anaconda-style mapping is ongoing across the Property and has already significantly expanded the alteration footprint at the SSD Target

Multiple geochemical sampling programs and geophysical surveys are at various stages of completion, with results forthcoming

Vancouver, British Columbia, June 22, 2026 – TheNewswire – Westward Gold Inc. (CSE: WG, OTCQB: WGLIF, FSE: IM50) (“Westward” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on field activities at the Company’s Toiyabe Hills Property in Lander County, Nevada (“Toiyabe Hills”, or the “Property”), where drilling has just commenced and numerous additional exploration programs are currently ongoing. Following the recent receipt of a Work Plan Concurrence from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”), trenching activities were completed at the SSD Target (“SSD”), one of three zones slated for core and reverse-circulation (“RC”) drilling in 2026 (see press release dated April 27, 2026, for an in-depth review of SSD). The Company has just begun drilling at SSD following delivery of a core rig to site, with two RC rigs to follow in the months ahead from National EWP and Legacy Drilling. Additional large-scale programs to be completed this year include 1:5000 surface mapping, geochemical sampling, and multiple geophysical surveys; details and status updates on each are provided below.

2026 Trenching Program (SSD Target)

A 468-metre trenching program has just been completed at the SSD Target (see Figures 1 and 2 below), designed to more accurately sample and map structures ahead of drilling; this data will contribute to the final determination of drill hole dips / azimuths from certain planned drill sites. High-grade structures – including the dike containing a 16.4 g Au/t sample – will be projected down-section based on mapped dips and strikes, and drills will be aimed to intersect these structures within favourable carbonate host rocks (notably of the Wenban Formation). These settings typically represent the best potential for significant zones of gold mineralization in Carlin-type systems along the major trends of northern Nevada.

Surface Mapping Program

The Company’s 1:5000 Anaconda-style surface mapping program has been ongoing since the beginning of the field season, and continues to form a vital part of Westward’s systematic exploration and targeting strategy. This year will see the greatest amount of new coverage ever, with three expert mappers advancing multiple folios concurrently (including recent land expansions to the north and south) – Steve Koehler (Technical Advisor), Robert Edie (VP Exploration), and Tom Chapin (Contractor).

The program has already generated important new findings, notably moving north at the SSD Target and over newly-acquired ground at the southern end of the Property:

The SSD alteration footprint has been expanded to the north and northeast of previous mapping, and surface alteration remains open in those directions.
Three distinct patterns have been verified: i) quartz veins / stockworks and silica replacements increase to the north, especially along north-, east northeast-, northeast-, and northwest-striking faults; ii) hydrothermally-altered lamprophyre and altered quartz porphyry dikes/sills occur in close proximity to one another; and iii) hematite, hematitic clay, and euhedral barite crystals are notable alteration features.
- The hematite is significant for two reasons: hematite often implies a higher sulfidation state (not unlike oxide patterns in a porphyry system), and from south to north, limonite is dominant at the past-producing Toiyabe-Saddle open pits, and at the shallow Courtney Zone on the Property. Hematite occurs further to the north, in the vicinity of stronger silicification and altered quartz porphyry and lamprophyre dikes – this area is also closer to the recently-identified Threemile Stock.
20 hydrothermally-altered outcrop and subcrop samples were collected over a ~0.8-square-kilometre area north and northeast of the northernmost SSD trench.
- Samples represent an initial characterization of altered upper-plate siliciclastic rocks and/or intrusive material, including quartz-veined/stockworked-limonite-hematite altered fault zones, silicified fault breccias with limonite, hematite, and/or barite, and clay-altered and limonitic lamprophyres (select photos shown in Figures 3 and 4 below).
At the Company’s new southern ground (staked at the end of 2025), a series a northwest-striking altered dike-filled fault corridors have been mapped and samples have been collected.

Geochemical Sampling Programs

The Company’s robust 2026 geochemical sampling programs are adding to an already expansive database built over the last several years, and will include the following:

Trenching: rock-chip samples collected at regular intervals with increased frequency around observed areas of interest (collection nearing completion)
Soil Grids: collection of soil samples at 200-metre spacing across the most recently-acquired claims to the north (75% complete) and south (complete, data pending), in addition to a select in-fill grid to improve upon inherited legacy data (collection pending)
Mapping: rock-chip samples collected over the most interesting areas identified during surface mapping (collection ongoing, data pending)
Road-cuts and drill-pad earthwork: rock-chip sampling of exposures created by road and pad construction (collection ongoing, data pending)

Geophysical Surveys

Three significant geophysical surveys are being conducted by the Company in 2026 – forming another pillar of its systematically-gathered baseline exploration data. As in previous years, all results are being interpreted by Mr. Jim Wright of J.L. Wright Geophysics in Spring Creek, NV – a renowned geophysicist with over 40 years of expertise within the Carlin and Cortez Districts of northern Nevada – in coordination with Westward’s team of technical experts. This year’s programs include the following:

Airborne Magnetic Survey: a bolt-on drone magnetic survey designed to cover newly-acquired ground to the north and better define a suspected buried igneous stock identified via a 2025 survey (data acquired and processed, final interpretations pending).
CSAMT (Controlled-Source Audio-Frequency Magnetotellurics) Survey: two lines designed to provide better resolution of structures and stratigraphy at the El Segundo Target slated for Phase I drilling in 2026 (data acquired, processing and interpretations pending).
Gravity Survey: this gravity survey will add coverage over the newly-acquired ground to the north and south and tie into the existing Property-wide dataset (data acquisition expected shortly).

Total Metals Reports Positive Results at its Electrolode Critical Metals Project - Including High-Grade intercepts up to 38.20% Zinc over 0.42m and 3.59% Copper over 1.91m

Mon, 22 Jun 2026 02:00:00 MDT

June 22, 2026 – TheNewswire - Toronto, ON - Total Metals Corp. (“Total Metals” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: TT) (OTCQB: TTTMF) (FSE: O4N) is pleased to announce the results of the first ten drill-holes completed on its 8,408 metre, 25 hole winter drilling program at the Electrolode critical metals property, located in Northwestern Ontario (the “Project”) in early 2026.

The 3,300 hectare Electrolode property, located 69 km from Ear Falls, in northwestern Ontario hosts the Arrow Zone with a NI 43-101 compliant current Inferred Mineral Resource1 with an effective date of June 1, 2025, containing 2.11 million tonnes averaging 0.66% Cu, 4.74% Zn, 17.92 g/t Ag and 0.66 g/t Au. Other zones have been identified and explored on the property by previous operators including those in the Copperlode area southwest of Arrow.

HIGHLIGHTS

Arrow Zone

New Arrow Zone intercepts better than average resource grade with subintervals returning exceptional zinc and copper values

Hole EL-26-006 returned 8.40% Zn, 0.40% Cu, 0.35 g/t Au, 21.88 g/t Ag over 4.00 m core length for the Arrow Zone
- Includes 20.05% Zn, 0.23% Cu, 0.33 g/t Au, 27.54 g/t Ag over 1.54 m containing an interval of 37.38% Zn over 0.73 m
Hole EL-26-006 also returned 7.81% Zn, 1.90% Cu, 0.72 g/t Au, 56.51 g/t Ag over 4.30 m core length for a zone in the hanging wall of the Arrow Zone
- Includes 16.91% Zn, 3.59% Cu, 1.33 g/t Au, 116.77 g/t Ag over 1.91 m containing an interval of 38.20% Zn over 0.42 m
Hole EL-26-003A returned 7.00% Zn, 0.47% Cu, 0.25 g/t Au, 32.73 g/t Ag over 7.18 m core length for the Arrow Zone
- Includes 20.14% Zn, 0.89% Cu, 0.37 g/t Au, 112.29 g/t Ag over 1.70 m

- Includes 20.44% Zn, 0.98% Cu, 0.21 g/t Au, 39.07 g/t Ag over 1.45 m
Hole EL-26-002 returned 5.10% Zn, 0.50% Cu, 0.41 g/t Au, 18.21 g/t Ag over 4.55 m core length for the Arrow Zone

Elevated gallium and indium values for some reported intercepts possibly indicative of potential contribution of additional value to resource

"These initial results from our winter drill program at Electrolode are highly encouraging and underscore the exceptional potential of the Arrow Zone," said Tyler Thorburn, President and CEO of Total Metals. "We are thrilled to see targeted drilling return high-grade zinc intercepts that far exceed our current average resource grade, highlighted by subintervals surpassing 20% zinc. Even more exciting is the highly mineralized zone in the hanging wall that returned significant copper values, including grades up to 3.59% copper. The occurrence of copper-rich mineralization at Arrow, combined with our robust zinc results, points to future potential and adds exciting momentum to the Electrolode project."

Technical Details

The 2026 winter drill campaign, initially planned for 5,500 metres with one rig, was activated in late January, and was subsequently ramped up to an 8,000 metre program with the addition of a second rig. Drilling ended in mid-April with 25 holes completed totalling 8,408 metres. The distribution of drill-holes, shown in Figure 1, targeted two main sectors: the Arrow / Garnet area and the Copperlode area, as well as a variety of other targets planned on the basis of compiled geology combined with geophysical 3D modeling. The main targets on the property are volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits, though being cognizant of location in the Red Lake district, prospective structures for gold are also evaluated. The results of drilling completed in the Arrow / Garnet area is the focus of the discussion in this release.

Holes EL-26-002, EL-26-003A, EL-26-004 and EL-26-006 targeted the upper edges of the higher-grade core of the deposit. Holes EL-26-005, EL-26-007, EL-26-008A and EL-26-009 were drilled to test the Garnet Zone in order to determine whether continuity can be established with Arrow. Hole EL-26-010 was a step-out drilled to test for any continuity of mineralization from the Arrow / Garnet zones further to the northeast. In addition to testing Arrow and Garnet for zinc, copper, gold and silver other high value critical elements including gallium and indium were analyzed to determine whether these are potential value contributors to the deposit. Notable intervals for gallium and indium for the Arrow Zone intercepts in Table 2 including 71.11 ppm gallium and 40.15 ppm indium in hole EL-26-002. Further robust analytical and mineralogical work is required to determine the nature of gallium and indium distribution and occurrence as well as determine whether they are potentially recoverable.

Results from the program, shown in Table 2, returned some intervals above the average resource grade for the Arrow Zone with some subintervals returning exceptional high-grade intervals for zinc and copper. The best results for the Arrow Zone were from hole EL-26-006 where 8.4% Zn and 0.40% Cu over 4.0 metres are reported for Arrow and 7.81% Zn and 1.90% Cu for a zone in the hanging wall of Arrow. The main highlighted intervals of Table 2 are shown in a vertical section relative to the Arrow Zone resource shape in Figure 3.

** Zones named as HW are un-named zones in the hanging wall of Arrow

A brief description highlighting the main mineralized zones in each hole intersecting the Arrow Zone is summarized below:

Hole EL-26-002, from 374.85 to 379.40, Arrow zone – Consists of alternating semi-massive to banded sphalerite, pyrite, pyrrhotite, magnetite and chalcopyrite at the top of the interval grading into banded to stringer pyrite-pyrrhotite dominant sulphides towards the bottom of the interval.

EL-26-003A, from 341.00 to 348.18, Arrow Zone – Interval begins with a banded to disseminated pyrite-pyrrhotite sphalerite, followed by a 1.38 m wide interval of sphalerite dominant massive sulphide with chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite grading towards semi-massive to patchy sphalerite-rich mineralization with pyrrhotite-pyrite and chalcopyrite. Zone ends in stringer sulphides with increasing pyrite-pyrrhotite and decreasing sphalerite – chalcopyrite.

EL-26-004, from 371.80 to 381.55, Arrow Zone – Consists of banded to disseminated pyrite, pyrrhotite with sections locally containing chalcopyrite. Sphalerite is not significant constituent until mineralization transitions massive sulphide towards the end of the interval where the assemblage mostly consists of sphalerite, pyrrhotite with minor pyrite-chalcopyrite within a 0.45 m section which abruptly terminates against the quartz-feldspar porphyry unit.

EL-26-006, from 409.20 to 413.50, hanging wall to Arrow Zone – Interval begins as banded to stringer sulphides consisting of pyrrhotite-pyrite with chalcopyrite becoming present as mineralization style changes to semi-massive dominated by sphalerite with more abundant chalcopyrite as it transitions to pyrrhotite dominated banded sulphide

EL-26-006, from 433.00 to 437.00, Arrow Zone – Consists of banded to stringer pyrrhotite, pyrite and sphalerite transitioning to a massive to semi-massive sulphide interval consisting of sphalerite and pyrite and massive pyrrhotite with minor chalcopyrite towards the footwall down hole.

Assay results from holes targeting the Garnet Zone, while returning anomalous values in weakly mineralized intervals, downgraded the potential of the Garnet Zone and possibility of continuity with the Arrow Zone. The best interval returned for the Garnet Zone is 2.93% Zn over 3.17 m in hole EL-26-005. Exploration potential still exists in different plunge directions in the Arrow Zone, especially under Garnet Lake.

While waiting for optimal frozen ground conditions to drill the Arrow Zone, one hole was drilled to test a concept proposed by the author of the 2025 NI 43-101 Technical Report. The concept was derived from using different layers of information including a geology compilation by Noranda Exploration, historic ground EM surveys as well as a 2003 Titan-24 MT & DCIP survey. The overlapping layers of information presented the possibility of an oblique conductive trend coincident with a sodium depletion anomaly in the footwall of Arrow (Target B). Hole EL-26-001 was drilled to test Target B at an orientation that tests both the conductor and the sodium depletion anomaly. The hole intersected mostly quartz-feldspar porphyry and mafic intrusive through most of the first part of the hole, finally transitioning to a felsic tuff at 347 metres which is more likely to host VMS style mineralization. The felsic tuff was notably biotite and sericite altered with weak veinlet to disseminated pyrite-pyrrhotite mineralization becoming garnetiferous towards end of the hole. Two weakly anomalous intervals were noted in the hole, the latter of which contained anomalous zinc in the last 3 metres of the hole.

QA/QC Procedures

Protocols for core logging, sampling and QAQC were developed together with Bayside Geoscience Inc., who managed project site exploration activities on behalf of and under direction of the Company during the duration of the winter drilling program. Drilling was contracted to Platinum Diamond Drilling Inc. with NQ2 size core produced. Once the core was logged and marked for sampling, samples were sawn in half. Certified reference material standards and blanks were inserted into the sample sequence on a rotating basis and together combined with sealed samples in zip tie secured rice bags and securely delivered by Bayside personnel to AGAT Laboratories Ltd. All sample preparation and 30 g fire assay ICP-OES finish was completed in Thunder Bay and all 4-Acid digestion and 48 multi-element analysis (ICP-OES/ICP-MS finish) was done at AGAT’s Calgary location. Samples >1% Zn, >1% Cu and >100 g/t Ag were reanalyzed as over limit with AGAT’s 4-Acid Metals Package (ICP-OES and/or ICP-MS finish). Internal laboratory standards and blanks were also analyzed by AGAT and reported with the certified assay results. A selected subset of mineralized sample pulps and additional CRMs were shipped and analyzed by a third-party lab independent of AGAT for further verification.

Copper One Announces Agreement to Acquire 100% Interest in the Majuba Hill Copper-Silver-Gold Project, Nevada

Mon, 22 Jun 2026 01:15:00 MDT

Vancouver, BC – June 22, 2026 - TheNewswire – Copper One Resources Corp. ("Copper One" or the "Company") (CSE:CEXY | OTCID:CEXYF | FSE:IW8 | WKN: A42AGR) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an amendment agreement (the “Agreement”) and commenced closing process to acquire 100% interest in the Majuba Hill Copper-Silver-Gold Project ("Majuba Hill" or the "Project") located in Pershing County, Nevada, a well-established mining jurisdiction in the United States.

The transaction terms set out in the Agreement (the "Transaction Terms") provide for the acquisition of the Project for a cash purchase price of US$1,300,000. Compared to the consideration contemplated under the original option framework, the amended Transaction Terms represent a reduction of approximately US$2.7 million (approximately C$3.8 million) in the purchase price payable by the Company.

Majuba Hill is Copper One's American flagship copper asset. The Company believes full control of the Project is an important step toward advancing a Nevada-based copper opportunity at a time when the United States and its allies are increasingly focused on secure, domestic and responsible sources of copper for power, infrastructure, electrification, advanced manufacturing, data centers and national security supply chains.

The acquisition will provide Copper One with 100% ownership of Majuba Hill, subject to the completion of closing documentation and customary closing conditions. The Company believes that securing a 100% interest in the Project will provide greater flexibility to advance exploration activities, refine drill targeting, evaluate potential strategic alternatives, and position Majuba Hill within an evolving North American copper market.

"We are pleased to move toward securing 100% ownership of the Majuba Hill Project," said David Greenway, President and Chief Executive Officer of Copper One Resources Corp. "Full ownership of Majuba Hill provides the Company with increased flexibility to advance exploration activities, refine drill targeting, and evaluate future development opportunities. We believe the Project represents a significant exploration opportunity in Nevada, a leading mining jurisdiction, at a time when global demand for copper continues to be driven by electrification, power infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, data centers and energy transition initiatives. As concerns regarding a looming copper shortage continue to be discussed across the industry, we believe that consolidating ownership of Majuba Hill strengthens Copper One's position to advance the Project and pursue long-term value creation for shareholders."

Transaction Summary

Pursuant to the amendment, the purchase price payable on exercise of the option has been amended to US$1,300,000 in cash. The closing is expected to be completed pursuant to escrow instructions and related conveyance documents, including an assignment and deed with reservation of royalty, bill of sale and related closing deliverables.

Upon completion, the Project is expected to be held through BAM BAM Nevada Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Copper One.

The Company will provide additional updates as closing is completed and as exploration plans for Majuba Hill advance.

Copper One views the negotiated amendment as a major achievement for shareholders. By reducing the purchase price, representing a reduction of approximately US$2.7 million from the purchase consideration contemplated under the original option framework, the Company believes it has strengthened its ability to focus capital on technical work, exploration planning, drilling and long-term advancement of Majuba Hill.

About the Majuba Hill Copper-Silver-Gold Deposit, Nevada

Majuba Hill is Copper One's flagship copper-silver-gold exploration project located in Pershing County, Nevada. Nevada ranked first globally in the Fraser Institute's Annual Survey of Mining Companies 2025. The Majuba Hill Project is in Pershing County, Nevada, a well-established mining region with extensive infrastructure and a long history of mineral exploration and development.

The Majuba Hill property covers approximately 9,684 acres and is located about 113 road kilometres, or 70 miles, southwest of Winnemucca, Nevada, and 251 kilometres, or 156 miles, northeast of Reno. The project is accessible by well-maintained county roads from the Imlay, Nevada exit on U.S. Interstate 80, followed by an approximately 23-mile drive west. Access to people, roads, power and water are fundamental considerations for advancing mineral projects, and Majuba Hill benefits from a strong infrastructure foundation in each of these areas. This represents a meaningful potential advantage compared to more remote projects, where infrastructure can be a major cost and development hurdle.

Majuba Hill is a historical producer with a substantial exploration database, including approximately 89,395 feet of drilling completed to date. Based on current drilling cost assumptions, the rough replacement value of this historical drilling is estimated at approximately US$12.1 million, providing Copper One with a valuable technical foundation as it continues to advance the project.

Copper Market Context

Recent copper price forecasts and market commentary from major financial institutions continue to highlight the strength of the copper market backdrop. Market reporting published in June 2026 reported that Goldman Sachs now sees copper prices at US$13,735 per metric tonne by the end of 20261, more than 10% above its previous target of US$12,465 per metric tonne. Reuters also reported in April 2026 that Goldman Sachs maintained a forecast for copper to average US$12,650 per metric tonne in 2026. Goldman Sachs Research has also published a longer-term copper forecast of US$15,000 per metric tonne by 2035, while identifying grid and power infrastructure, including AI and Defence-related energy demand, as key structural copper demand drivers.

Citi has also published a constructive copper outlook. Market reporting published in June 2026 reported that Citigroup had targeted US$14,500 per metric tonne sometime in June 2026 and US$15,000 per metric tonne within one year, citing weaker supply growth, resilient demand from AI and the energy transition, and lingering concerns around U.S. refined copper tariffs.2

Copper One cautions that commodity price forecasts are provided for market context only. They do not imply that Majuba Hill has demonstrated economic viability, that a mineral resource will be defined, or that future commodity prices will be achieved.

Successful debut of International Symposium on Emergency Response and Aeromedical Services in Hong Kong

Fri, 19 Jun 2026 22:00:00 MDT

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire – 20 June 2026 – Hong Kong's Government Flying Service (GFS) held its inaugural three-day International Symposium on Emergency Response and Aeromedical Services (ISERAS) (June 16-18), bringing together more than 230 policymakers, experts and academics, and industry representatives from over 70 institutions and accredited organisations.

With participants from places including Hong Kong, the Chinese Mainland, Australia, the United Kingdom, Austria, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand, the event aimed to foster closer co-operation in emergency linkage, resource sharing, and professional training among different regions.

The inaugural International Symposium on Emergency Response and Aeromedical Services was held in Hong Kong from June 16 to 18. Photo shows the Under Secretary for Security of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government, Michael Cheuk (fifth left); the Director General of the Rescue and Salvage Bureau of the Ministry of Transport of the People's Republic of China, Wang Lei (fifth right); the Controller of the Government Flying Services of the HKSAR Government, Captain Eddie Liu (fourth right), and other guests at the opening ceremony.

The symposium featured a series of plenary sessions, panel discussions, technical visits, and live demonstrations jointly conducted by the GFS and various government emergency units. A number of memoranda of understanding were signed during the event, to deepen collaboration between the GFS and the Chinese Mainland as well as domestic and international emergency, aviation, and medical institutions.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, the Under Secretary for Security, Michael Cheuk, said that the challenges of emergency response as a result of the realities of climate change are evolving at an unprecedented pace.

"A shift to proactive prevention, continuous enhancement of international and cross-regional collaboration, and enhanced experience and insight sharing among stakeholders are key to rising to new and complex challenges," Mr Cheuk said, adding that the collaborative spirit of ISERAS will forge stronger partnerships, further strengthen emergency response capabilities, and secure a safer future for communities.

The Director General of the Rescue and Salvage Bureau of the Ministry of Transport of the People's Republic of China (CRS), Wang Lei, also attended the symposium and delivered a keynote presentation on air rescue capabilities and strategic development in the South China Sea.

The symposium concluded with an interdepartmental counter-terrorism drill and exchange session, with the participation of the GFS, the Hong Kong Police Force and the Hong Kong Fire Services Department, showcasing Hong Kong's professional capabilities in responding to terrorist attacks.

The symposium concluded with an interdepartmental counter-terrorism drill.

The Controller of the GFS, Captain Eddie Liu, said that the GFS has always played an important role in emergency response and rescue. "In addition to assisting in search and rescue, providing air ambulance and other emergency aeromedical services, the GFS also shoulders the responsibility of maintaining internal security of the HKSAR," he said.

"In emergencies such as terrorist attacks, the GFS would make rapid deployment to assist the disciplined services in conducting air assault, offering all-round support to the HKSAR Government's overall counter-terrorism efforts."

Since its establishment in 1993, the GFS has served at the forefront of round-the-clock search-and-rescue and emergency aeromedical operations, while the ISERAS aims to collectively build a truly transnational pool of professional expertise, thereby underscoring Hong Kong's status as an aviation hub for emergency response in Asia.
