<p align="justify">Nevgold Corp. (&#8216;NevGold&#8217; or the &#8216;Company&#8217;) (TSXV:NAU,OTC:NAUFF) (OTCQX:NAUFF) (Frankfurt:5E50) is pleased to announce that the permits have been received and a drill rig is mobilizing to its Limousine Butte Project (the &#8216;Project&#8217;, &#8216;Limo Butte&#8217;) in Nevada. The drilling will test the historical gold heap leach pads for antimony with the objective of advancing the leach pads to a near-term antimony production scenario. This is one of the only near-term, at-surface antimony production scenarios in the United States with a path to potential antimony metal production by 2027. </p>
<p align="justify"><strong>NevGold CEO, Brandon Bonifacio, comments: </strong><em>&#8216;There are very few opportunities like the near-term antimony production potential from the historical gold leach pads at Limo Butte. There is a clear mandate in the United States to </em><strong><em>find near-term production from a number of Critical Minerals, and we have one of those opportunities which we are rapidly advancing</em></strong><em>. We are in an advantageous position as we have oxide antimony at surface amendable to leaching at a brownfield mine site in the State of Nevada, which is one of the top mining jurisdictions globally with a systematic permitting regime and strong community support. Our focus is to drill the leach pads to advance to a Mineral Resource Estimate by the beginning of Q2-2026, which will define the grade and quantities of contained antimony that we have on the pads. Once an MRE is delivered, we will be able to evaluate the various development scenarios to extract the antimony from the leach pads, with the </em><strong><em><u>objective of reaching antimony metal production by 2027.</u></em></strong><strong><em> We have the opportunity to be one of the near-term solutions to the United States building a fully vertically integrated antimony supply chain</em></strong><em>&#8216;</em></p>
</p>
<p align="justify"><strong><u>Key Highlights </u></strong></p>
<ul type="disc" class="ee-ul">
<li><strong>Drilling will advance the leach pads to a Mineral Resource Estimate (&#8216;MRE&#8217;) by the beginning of Q2-2026 </strong>building on the Phase 1 sampling completed (see News Release from January 6, 2026):</li>
</ul>
<ul type="none" class="ee-ul">
<li>
<ul class="ee-ul">
<li>The MRE is a key step in defining the quantities of antimony that could be processed in the near-term from the historical gold leach pads</li>
<li>Drilling will be completed over the coming weeks</li>
<li>Certain areas of the leach pads had Phase I sampling results of 0.74% Sb to 0.81% Sb (See Figure 1)</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul type="disc" class="ee-ul"></ul>
<ul type="none" class="ee-ul">
<li>
<ul class="ee-ul">
<li>2025 testwork using acid leaching resulted in antimony recoveries of up to 92%</li>
<li>Acid Leaching is being reviewed as the preferred metallurgical process for antimony as there is no reliance on downstream processing at third-party smelters; the acid leaching scenario would produce antimony metal at site through a conventional leaching scenario, which has many similarities to Solvent Extraction-Electrowinning (SX/EW) used for oxide copper in the copper industry</li>
<li>Antimony recovery has minimal to no impact on gold recovery; the gold in the historical leach pads could also be recovered in the future after antimony processing is completed</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul type="disc" class="ee-ul">
<li>Antimony is one of the <strong>highest priority Critical Minerals due to its strategic importance and military applications</strong>; Limo Butte is a <strong>brownfield mine site located in the State of Nevada with near-surface, high-grade antimony mineralization</strong></li>
</ul>
<ul type="none" class="ee-ul">
<li>
<ul class="ee-ul">
<li>Historical leach pads provide opportunity for near-term antimony production</li>
<li>A larger commercial gold-antimony opportunity could be advanced and developed in parallel to the historical leach pad opportunity, including drilling, metallurgical testwork, and the preparation of a Mineral Resource Estimate (&#8216;MRE&#8217;) at Resurrection Ridge (including high-grade antimony Bullet Zone discovery made in 2025) and Cadillac Valley</li>
<li>A staged project development approach offers various potential development scenarios over the next 12-24 months which may achieve near-term production and cash flow</li>

<p align="justify"><strong><u>US Executive Order – Announced March 20, 2025</u></strong><br />The Company is pleased to report the sweeping <strong><u>Executive Order</u></strong><strong> to strengthen American mineral production and reduce U.S. reliance on foreign nations for its mineral supply</strong>. Antimony (Sb) has been identified as an important <strong>&#8216;Critical Mineral&#8217; in the United States</strong> essential for national security, clean energy, and technology applications, <strong>yet limited domestic mine supply currently exists.</strong></p>
<p align="justify">The Executive Order invokes the use of the Defense Production Act as part of a broad United States (&#8216;US&#8217;) Government effort to expand domestic minerals production on national security grounds. As it relates to project permitting, the Order states that it will &#8216;identify priority projects that can be immediately approved or for which permits can be immediately issued, and take all necessary or appropriate actions…to expedite and issue the relevant permits or approvals.&#8217; Furthermore, the Order includes provisions to accelerate access to private and public capital for domestic projects, including the creation of a &#8216;dedicated mineral and mineral production fund for domestic investments&#8217; under the Development Finance Corporation (&#8216;DFC&#8217;).</p>
<p align="justify">This decisive action by the US Government highlights the urgent need to expand domestic minerals output to support supply chain security in the United States. This important Order will help revitalize domestic mineral production by improving the permitting process and providing financial support to qualifying domestic projects.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong><u>Importance of Antimony</u></strong><br />Antimony is considered a &#8216;Critical Mineral&#8217; by the United States based on the U.S. Geological Survey&#8217;s 2022 list (U.S.G.S. (2022)). &#8216;Critical Minerals&#8217; are metals and non-metals essential to the economy and national security. Antimony is utilized in all manners of military applications, including the manufacturing of armor piercing bullets, night vision goggles, infrared sensors, precision optics, laser sighting, explosive formulations, hardened lead for bullets and shrapnel, ammunition primers, tracer ammunition, nuclear weapons and production, tritium production, flares, military clothing, and communication equipment. Other uses include technology (semi-conductors, circuit boards, electric switches, fluorescent lighting, high quality clear glass and lithium-ion batteries) and clean-energy storage.</p>
<p align="justify">Globally, approximately 90% of the world&#8217;s current antimony supply is produced by China, Russia, and Tajikistan. Beginning on September 15, 2024, China, which is responsible for nearly half of all global mined antimony output and dominates global refinement and processing, announced that it will restrict antimony exports. In December-2024, China explicitly restricted antimony exports to the United States citing its dual military and civilian uses, which further exacerbated global supply chain concerns. (Lv, A. and Munroe, T. (2024)) The U.S. Department of Defense (&#8216;DOD&#8217;) has designated antimony as a &#8216;Critical Mineral&#8217; due to its importance in national security, and governments are now prioritizing domestic production to mitigate supply chain disruptions. Projects exploring antimony sources in North America play a key role in addressing these challenges.</p>
<p align="justify">Perpetua Resources Corp. (&#8216;Perpetua&#8217;, NASDAQ:PPTA, TSX:PPTA) has the most advanced domestic gold-antimony project in the United States. Perpetua&#8217;s project, known as Stibnite, is located in Idaho approximately 130 km northeast of NevGold&#8217;s Nutmeg Mountain and Zeus projects. Positive advancements at Stibnite including technical development and permitting has led to US$75 million in Department of Defense (&#8216;DOD&#8217;) awards, over $1.8 billion in indicative financing from the Export Import Bank of the United States (&#8216;US EXIM&#8217;) (<em>see Perpetua Resources News Release from April 8, 2024</em>) (Perpetua Resources. (2025)), and recent strategic investments of US$180 million from Agnico-Eagle Mines Limited (&#8216;Agnico&#8217;) and US$75 million from JPMorganChase&#8217;s $1.5 trillion Security and Resiliency Initiative. (<em>see Perpetua Resources News Release from October 27, 2025</em>)</p>

<div>
<p align="justify">Cartier Resources Inc. (″ Cartier ″ or the ″ Company ″) (TSXV: ECR,OTC:ECRFF; FSE: 6CA) is pleased to announce the ninth batch of results from the 100,000-m drilling program (2 drill rigs), for the Portal Sector, specifically from the North Simon Zone (″ NSZ ″) on the 100%-owned Cadillac Project, located in Val-d&#8217;Or (Abitibi, Quebec).</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Strategic Highlights from Portal Sector</strong></p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Drill Hole Results </strong>(Figures 1 to 4)</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li> <strong>CA26-314</strong> intersected <strong>7.1 g/t Au over 8.0 m </strong>including<strong> 38.8 g/t Au over 1.0 m</strong> (NS Zone).</li>
<li> <strong>CA26-325</strong> graded <strong>6.8 g/t Au over 2.2 m </strong>(NS Zone).</li>
<li> <strong>CA26-308</strong> reported <strong>3.3 g/t Au over 4.2 m </strong>(5C5 Zone). </li>
</ul>
<p align="justify"><strong>Significance for Investors</strong></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Holes CA26-314 and 325 confirm the <strong>newly recognized NSZ high-grade gold zone near surface</strong>. The mineralization extends over<strong> 200 m in strike length</strong> and remains<strong> open in all directions</strong>, suggesting <strong>significant upside exploration potential</strong>.</li>
<li>Most importantly, NSZ is strategically located just<strong> 150 metres east </strong>of<strong> historical ramp</strong>. This logistical advantage <strong>should</strong> <strong>enhance</strong> the <strong>development flexibility</strong> and <strong>economics</strong> of Cadillac Project.</li>
</ul>
<p align="justify"><strong>Next Steps</strong></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li> <strong>Further expansion drilling</strong> is planned to<strong> significantly refine the geological model, verify the mineralization continuity </strong>and<strong> determine the gold enrichment vectors</strong>.</li>
<li> <strong>Additional exploration drilling</strong> is required to test several <strong>new high-priority regional targets</strong> along strike of the Portal Sector and the Cadillac Fault Zone, backed by <strong>detailed structural and geological modelling</strong> and <strong>VRIFY&#8217;s</strong> <strong>artificial intelligence (AI) driven targeting</strong>.</li>
</ul>
<p align="justify">&#8216; <em>These results of Portal Sector are particularly exciting as they confirm the presence of a fourth gold sector with strong exploration potential. Benefiting from the existing road access and historical infrastructure, this new sector has the potential for resource growth while being strategically located with respect to the Main Sector. We believe it could significantly enhance the value of the project and provide additional flexibility as we continue to advance and expand the overall development opportunities.</em>&#8216; – Ronan Deroff, Vice President Exploration of Cartier.</p>

<p align="justify"><strong>Portal Sector</strong></p>
<p align="justify">The Portal Sector is a highly prospective area featuring the new North Simon Zone with indicated resources of <strong>9,600 ounces</strong> (0.2 million tonnes at 1.9 g/t Au) and inferred resources of <strong>112,600 ounces</strong> (1.8 million tonnes at 2.0 g/t Au). The latter is the first ever resource estimate in this sector for which there has been only limited and relatively shallow testing. This sector hosts several newly defined high-priority drill targets.</p>
<p align="justify">This sector lies along an east-west trending, strongly sheared corridor (Cadillac Fault Zone) and occurs at the contact between the hanging wall turbiditic sedimentary rocks (wacke-mudrock), locally conglomerates and iron formations of Cadillac Group and the footwall mafic volcanics (basalt) of Piché Group. This lithological unit is a favorable horizon for hydrothermal fluid flow, likely related to synvolcanic gold deposition.</p>
<p align="justify">The Portal Sector, defined by at least four parallel gold-rich zones, are typically and primarily associated with a fine-grained and disseminated arsenopyrite-pyrrhotite mineralization, with a pervasive biotite-chlorite-carbonate alteration, all crosscut by late-stage smoky and white quartz vein and veinlet stockworks containing visible gold. Locally, accessory minerals such as pyrite and tourmaline are observed.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Milestones of 2025-2027 Exploration Program</strong></p>
<p align="justify"><strong>100,000 m Drilling Program (Q3 2025 to Q2 2027)</strong></p>
<p align="justify">The ambitious 600-hole drilling program will both expand known gold zones and test new shallow surface high-potential targets. The objective is to unlock the camp-scale, high-grade gold potential along the 15 km Cadillac Fault Zone. It is important to note that Cartier&#8217;s recent consolidation of this large land holding offers the unique opportunity in over 90 years for unrestricted exploration.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Environmental Baseline Studies &amp; Economic Evaluation of Chimo mine tailings (Q3 2025 to Q3 2026)</strong></p>
<p align="justify">The baseline studies will be divided into two distinct parts which include 1) environmental baseline desktop study and 2) preliminary environmental geochemical characterization. The initial baseline studies will provide a comprehensive understanding of the current environmental conditions and implement operations that minimize environmental impact while optimizing the economic potential of the project. These studies will be supplemented by an initial assessment of the economic potential of the past-producing Chimo mine tailings to determine whether a quantity of gold can be extracted economically.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Metallurgical Sampling and Testwork Program (Q4 2025 to Q1 2026)</strong></p>
<p align="justify">The metallurgical testwork program includes defining of expected gold recovery rates and improving historical results from the Chimo deposit, as well as establishing metallurgical recovery data for the first-time for the East Chimo and West Nordeau satellite deposits, where no previous data exists. This comprehensive program will characterize the mineralized material, gold recovery potential and validate optimal grind size defining the most efficient and cost-effective flowsheet. The data generated will directly support optimized project development and have the potential to significantly reduce both capital and operating costs, while also improving the environmental footprint.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Preliminary Economic Assessment (2026)</strong></p>
<p align="justify">Internal engineering studies have been initiated to validate a multitude of development scenarios that consider the updated MRE and current market environment. Following the selection of the most optimal scenario, a PEA will be completed which will also build upon the results of the metallurgical testwork program and the environmental baseline studies to unveil the updated development strategy and vision of the project.</p>

<p><strong>Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) Program</strong></p>
<p align="justify">The drill core from the Cadillac Project is NQ-size and, upon receipt from the drill rig, is described and sampled by Cartier geologists. Core is sawn in half, with one half labelled, bagged and submitted for analysis and the other half retained and stored at Cartier&#8217;s coreshack facilities located in Val-d&#8217;Or, Quebec, for future reference and verification. As part of Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) program, Cartier inserts blank samples and certified reference materials (standards) at regular intervals into the sample stream prior to shipment to monitor laboratory performance and analytical accuracy.</p>
<p align="justify">Drill core samples are sent to MSALABS&#8217;s analytical laboratory located in Val-d&#8217;Or, Quebec, for preparation and gold analysis. The entire sample is dried and crushed (70% passing a 2-millimeter sieve). The analysis for gold is performed on an approximately 500 g aliquot using Chrysos Photon Assay™ technology, which uses high-energy X-ray excitation with gamma detection to quickly and non-destructively measure gold content.</p>
<p align="justify">Alternatively, samples are submitted to Activation Laboratories Ltd. (&#8216;Actlabs&#8217;), located in either Val-d&#8217;Or or Ste-Germaine-Boulé, both in Quebec, for preparation and gold analysis. The entire sample is dried, crushed (90% passing a 2-millimetre sieve) and 250 g is pulverized (90% passing a 0.07-millimetre sieve). The analysis for gold is conducted using a 50 g fire assay fusion with atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) finish, with a detection limit up to 10,000 ppb. Samples exceeding this threshold are reanalyzed by fire assay with a gravimetric finish to determine high-grade values accurately.</p>
<p align="justify">Both MSALABS and Actlabs are ISO/IEC 17025 accredited for gold assays and implement industry-standard QA/QC protocols. Their internal quality control programs include the use of blanks, duplicates, and certified reference materials at set intervals, with established acceptance criteria to ensure data integrity and analytical precision.</p>

<div>
<p align="justify">Nevgold Corp. (&#8216;NevGold&#8217; or the &#8216;Company&#8217;) (TSXV:NAU,OTC:NAUFF) (OTCQX:NAUFF) (Frankfurt:5E50) is pleased to announce that the permits have been received and a drill rig is mobilizing to its Limousine Butte Project (the &#8216;Project&#8217;, &#8216;Limo Butte&#8217;) in Nevada. The drilling will test the historical gold heap leach pads for antimony with the objective of advancing the leach pads to a near-term antimony production scenario. This is one of the only near-term, at-surface antimony production scenarios in the United States with a path to potential antimony metal production by 2027. </p>
<p align="justify"><strong>NevGold CEO, Brandon Bonifacio, comments: </strong><em>&#8216;There are very few opportunities like the near-term antimony production potential from the historical gold leach pads at Limo Butte. There is a clear mandate in the United States to </em><strong><em>find near-term production from a number of Critical Minerals, and we have one of those opportunities which we are rapidly advancing</em></strong><em>. We are in an advantageous position as we have oxide antimony at surface amendable to leaching at a brownfield mine site in the State of Nevada, which is one of the top mining jurisdictions globally with a systematic permitting regime and strong community support. Our focus is to drill the leach pads to advance to a Mineral Resource Estimate by the beginning of Q2-2026, which will define the grade and quantities of contained antimony that we have on the pads. Once an MRE is delivered, we will be able to evaluate the various development scenarios to extract the antimony from the leach pads, with the </em><strong><em><u>objective of reaching antimony metal production by 2027.</u></em></strong><strong><em> We have the opportunity to be one of the near-term solutions to the United States building a fully vertically integrated antimony supply chain</em></strong><em>&#8216;</em></p>
</p>
<p align="justify"><strong><u>Key Highlights </u></strong></p>
<ul type="disc" class="ee-ul">
<li><strong>Drilling will advance the leach pads to a Mineral Resource Estimate (&#8216;MRE&#8217;) by the beginning of Q2-2026 </strong>building on the Phase 1 sampling completed (see News Release from January 6, 2026):</li>
</ul>
<ul type="none" class="ee-ul">
<li>
<ul class="ee-ul">
<li>The MRE is a key step in defining the quantities of antimony that could be processed in the near-term from the historical gold leach pads</li>
<li>Drilling will be completed over the coming weeks</li>
<li>Certain areas of the leach pads had Phase I sampling results of 0.74% Sb to 0.81% Sb (See Figure 1)</li>

<ul type="none" class="ee-ul">
<li>
<ul class="ee-ul">
<li>2025 testwork using acid leaching resulted in antimony recoveries of up to 92%</li>
<li>Acid Leaching is being reviewed as the preferred metallurgical process for antimony as there is no reliance on downstream processing at third-party smelters; the acid leaching scenario would produce antimony metal at site through a conventional leaching scenario, which has many similarities to Solvent Extraction-Electrowinning (SX/EW) used for oxide copper in the copper industry</li>
<li>Antimony recovery has minimal to no impact on gold recovery; the gold in the historical leach pads could also be recovered in the future after antimony processing is completed</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul type="disc" class="ee-ul">
<li>Antimony is one of the <strong>highest priority Critical Minerals due to its strategic importance and military applications</strong>; Limo Butte is a <strong>brownfield mine site located in the State of Nevada with near-surface, high-grade antimony mineralization</strong></li>
</ul>
<ul type="none" class="ee-ul">
<li>
<ul class="ee-ul">
<li>Historical leach pads provide opportunity for near-term antimony production</li>
<li>A larger commercial gold-antimony opportunity could be advanced and developed in parallel to the historical leach pad opportunity, including drilling, metallurgical testwork, and the preparation of a Mineral Resource Estimate (&#8216;MRE&#8217;) at Resurrection Ridge (including high-grade antimony Bullet Zone discovery made in 2025) and Cadillac Valley</li>
<li>A staged project development approach offers various potential development scenarios over the next 12-24 months which may achieve near-term production and cash flow</li>

<p align="justify"><strong><u>US Executive Order – Announced March 20, 2025</u></strong><br />The Company is pleased to report the sweeping <strong><u>Executive Order</u></strong><strong> to strengthen American mineral production and reduce U.S. reliance on foreign nations for its mineral supply</strong>. Antimony (Sb) has been identified as an important <strong>&#8216;Critical Mineral&#8217; in the United States</strong> essential for national security, clean energy, and technology applications, <strong>yet limited domestic mine supply currently exists.</strong></p>
<p align="justify">The Executive Order invokes the use of the Defense Production Act as part of a broad United States (&#8216;US&#8217;) Government effort to expand domestic minerals production on national security grounds. As it relates to project permitting, the Order states that it will &#8216;identify priority projects that can be immediately approved or for which permits can be immediately issued, and take all necessary or appropriate actions…to expedite and issue the relevant permits or approvals.&#8217; Furthermore, the Order includes provisions to accelerate access to private and public capital for domestic projects, including the creation of a &#8216;dedicated mineral and mineral production fund for domestic investments&#8217; under the Development Finance Corporation (&#8216;DFC&#8217;).</p>
<p align="justify">This decisive action by the US Government highlights the urgent need to expand domestic minerals output to support supply chain security in the United States. This important Order will help revitalize domestic mineral production by improving the permitting process and providing financial support to qualifying domestic projects.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong><u>Importance of Antimony</u></strong><br />Antimony is considered a &#8216;Critical Mineral&#8217; by the United States based on the U.S. Geological Survey&#8217;s 2022 list (U.S.G.S. (2022)). &#8216;Critical Minerals&#8217; are metals and non-metals essential to the economy and national security. Antimony is utilized in all manners of military applications, including the manufacturing of armor piercing bullets, night vision goggles, infrared sensors, precision optics, laser sighting, explosive formulations, hardened lead for bullets and shrapnel, ammunition primers, tracer ammunition, nuclear weapons and production, tritium production, flares, military clothing, and communication equipment. Other uses include technology (semi-conductors, circuit boards, electric switches, fluorescent lighting, high quality clear glass and lithium-ion batteries) and clean-energy storage.</p>
<p align="justify">Globally, approximately 90% of the world&#8217;s current antimony supply is produced by China, Russia, and Tajikistan. Beginning on September 15, 2024, China, which is responsible for nearly half of all global mined antimony output and dominates global refinement and processing, announced that it will restrict antimony exports. In December-2024, China explicitly restricted antimony exports to the United States citing its dual military and civilian uses, which further exacerbated global supply chain concerns. (Lv, A. and Munroe, T. (2024)) The U.S. Department of Defense (&#8216;DOD&#8217;) has designated antimony as a &#8216;Critical Mineral&#8217; due to its importance in national security, and governments are now prioritizing domestic production to mitigate supply chain disruptions. Projects exploring antimony sources in North America play a key role in addressing these challenges.</p>
<p align="justify">Perpetua Resources Corp. (&#8216;Perpetua&#8217;, NASDAQ:PPTA, TSX:PPTA) has the most advanced domestic gold-antimony project in the United States. Perpetua&#8217;s project, known as Stibnite, is located in Idaho approximately 130 km northeast of NevGold&#8217;s Nutmeg Mountain and Zeus projects. Positive advancements at Stibnite including technical development and permitting has led to US$75 million in Department of Defense (&#8216;DOD&#8217;) awards, over $1.8 billion in indicative financing from the Export Import Bank of the United States (&#8216;US EXIM&#8217;) (<em>see Perpetua Resources News Release from April 8, 2024</em>) (Perpetua Resources. (2025)), and recent strategic investments of US$180 million from Agnico-Eagle Mines Limited (&#8216;Agnico&#8217;) and US$75 million from JPMorganChase&#8217;s $1.5 trillion Security and Resiliency Initiative.

<div>
<p align="justify">Cartier Resources Inc. (″ Cartier ″ or the ″ Company ″) (TSXV: ECR,OTC:ECRFF; FSE: 6CA) is pleased to announce the ninth batch of results from the 100,000-m drilling program (2 drill rigs), for the Portal Sector, specifically from the North Simon Zone (″ NSZ ″) on the 100%-owned Cadillac Project, located in Val-d&#8217;Or (Abitibi, Quebec).</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Strategic Highlights from Portal Sector</strong></p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Drill Hole Results </strong>(Figures 1 to 4)</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li> <strong>CA26-314</strong> intersected <strong>7.1 g/t Au over 8.0 m </strong>including<strong> 38.8 g/t Au over 1.0 m</strong> (NS Zone).</li>
<li> <strong>CA26-325</strong> graded <strong>6.8 g/t Au over 2.2 m </strong>(NS Zone).</li>
<li> <strong>CA26-308</strong> reported <strong>3.3 g/t Au over 4.2 m </strong>(5C5 Zone). </li>
</ul>
<p align="justify"><strong>Significance for Investors</strong></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Holes CA26-314 and 325 confirm the <strong>newly recognized NSZ high-grade gold zone near surface</strong>. The mineralization extends over<strong> 200 m in strike length</strong> and remains<strong> open in all directions</strong>, suggesting <strong>significant upside exploration potential</strong>.</li>
<li>Most importantly, NSZ is strategically located just<strong> 150 metres east </strong>of<strong> historical ramp</strong>. This logistical advantage <strong>should</strong> <strong>enhance</strong> the <strong>development flexibility</strong> and <strong>economics</strong> of Cadillac Project.</li>
</ul>
<p align="justify"><strong>Next Steps</strong></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li> <strong>Further expansion drilling</strong> is planned to<strong> significantly refine the geological model, verify the mineralization continuity </strong>and<strong> determine the gold enrichment vectors</strong>.</li>
<li> <strong>Additional exploration drilling</strong> is required to test several <strong>new high-priority regional targets</strong> along strike of the Portal Sector and the Cadillac Fault Zone, backed by <strong>detailed structural and geological modelling</strong> and <strong>VRIFY&#8217;s</strong> <strong>artificial intelligence (AI) driven targeting</strong>.</li>
</ul>
<p align="justify">&#8216; <em>These results of Portal Sector are particularly exciting as they confirm the presence of a fourth gold sector with strong exploration potential. Benefiting from the existing road access and historical infrastructure, this new sector has the potential for resource growth while being strategically located with respect to the Main Sector. We believe it could significantly enhance the value of the project and provide additional flexibility as we continue to advance and expand the overall development opportunities.</em>&#8216; – Ronan Deroff, Vice President Exploration of Cartier.</p>

<p align="justify"><strong>Portal Sector</strong></p>
<p align="justify">The Portal Sector is a highly prospective area featuring the new North Simon Zone with indicated resources of <strong>9,600 ounces</strong> (0.2 million tonnes at 1.9 g/t Au) and inferred resources of <strong>112,600 ounces</strong> (1.8 million tonnes at 2.0 g/t Au). The latter is the first ever resource estimate in this sector for which there has been only limited and relatively shallow testing. This sector hosts several newly defined high-priority drill targets.</p>
<p align="justify">This sector lies along an east-west trending, strongly sheared corridor (Cadillac Fault Zone) and occurs at the contact between the hanging wall turbiditic sedimentary rocks (wacke-mudrock), locally conglomerates and iron formations of Cadillac Group and the footwall mafic volcanics (basalt) of Piché Group. This lithological unit is a favorable horizon for hydrothermal fluid flow, likely related to synvolcanic gold deposition.</p>
<p align="justify">The Portal Sector, defined by at least four parallel gold-rich zones, are typically and primarily associated with a fine-grained and disseminated arsenopyrite-pyrrhotite mineralization, with a pervasive biotite-chlorite-carbonate alteration, all crosscut by late-stage smoky and white quartz vein and veinlet stockworks containing visible gold. Locally, accessory minerals such as pyrite and tourmaline are observed.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Milestones of 2025-2027 Exploration Program</strong></p>
<p align="justify"><strong>100,000 m Drilling Program (Q3 2025 to Q2 2027)</strong></p>
<p align="justify">The ambitious 600-hole drilling program will both expand known gold zones and test new shallow surface high-potential targets. The objective is to unlock the camp-scale, high-grade gold potential along the 15 km Cadillac Fault Zone. It is important to note that Cartier&#8217;s recent consolidation of this large land holding offers the unique opportunity in over 90 years for unrestricted exploration.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Environmental Baseline Studies &amp; Economic Evaluation of Chimo mine tailings (Q3 2025 to Q3 2026)</strong></p>
<p align="justify">The baseline studies will be divided into two distinct parts which include 1) environmental baseline desktop study and 2) preliminary environmental geochemical characterization. The initial baseline studies will provide a comprehensive understanding of the current environmental conditions and implement operations that minimize environmental impact while optimizing the economic potential of the project. These studies will be supplemented by an initial assessment of the economic potential of the past-producing Chimo mine tailings to determine whether a quantity of gold can be extracted economically.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Metallurgical Sampling and Testwork Program (Q4 2025 to Q1 2026)</strong></p>
<p align="justify">The metallurgical testwork program includes defining of expected gold recovery rates and improving historical results from the Chimo deposit, as well as establishing metallurgical recovery data for the first-time for the East Chimo and West Nordeau satellite deposits, where no previous data exists. This comprehensive program will characterize the mineralized material, gold recovery potential and validate optimal grind size defining the most efficient and cost-effective flowsheet. The data generated will directly support optimized project development and have the potential to significantly reduce both capital and operating costs, while also improving the environmental footprint.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Preliminary Economic Assessment (2026)</strong></p>
<p align="justify">Internal engineering studies have been initiated to validate a multitude of development scenarios that consider the updated MRE and current market environment. Following the selection of the most optimal scenario, a PEA will be completed which will also build upon the results of the metallurgical testwork program and the environmental baseline studies to unveil the updated development strategy and vision of the project.</p>

<p><strong>South African gold producer Pan African Resources (LSE:PAF) has agreed to acquire Australian explorer Emmerson (LSE:EML) in an all-share transaction valued at approximately US$218 million.</strong></p>
<p>The acquisition will be carried out through a scheme of arrangement under which Pan African will acquire 100 percent of Emmerson’s issued share capital.</p>
<p>Under the terms of the deal, Emmerson shareholders will receive 0.1493 Pan African shares in the form of ASX-listed Chess Depositary Interests for each Emmerson share held. Following completion of the transaction, Emmerson shareholders will own about 4.24 percent of the combined company.</p>
<p>The deal consolidates ownership of the Tennant Creek joint venture, where Pan African is currently partnered with Emmerson to explore and develop gold deposits across a large tenement package in Australia’s Northern Territory.</p>
</p>
<p>“This combination with our trusted JV partner represents a strategically logical consolidation of our Tennant Creek tenement package,” Emmerson chair Mark Connelly said in a company press release.</p>
<p>Tennant Creek, located between Alice Springs and Darwin, is one of Australia’s historic gold districts, known for high-grade deposits discovered during a mining boom in the 1930s.</p>
<p>Pan African chief executive Cobus Loots said the acquisition would allow the company to streamline development plans for new discoveries in the district, including the White Devil gold deposit.</p>
<p>The company currently operates a mix of low-cost surface operations and high-grade underground mines across South Africa and Australia. It is forecast to produce more than 275,000 ounces of gold in the 2026 financial year.</p>
<p>Pan African’s resource base totals approximately 42.9 million ounces of mineral resources and 13 million ounces of ore reserves, providing a long-term pipeline for production growth.</p>
<p>Loots said diversification is essential in the mining industry, where individual assets inevitably decline over time.</p>
<p>“In mining you are exploiting a wasting asset – so you’re either moving backwards or you’re progressing,” Loots told Currency in a recent interview. “We don’t want to move backwards.”</p>
<p>The transaction remains subject to several conditions, including shareholder approval and customary regulatory clearances.</p>
<p>A shareholder vote is expected to take place in mid-2026, with completion anticipated shortly thereafter if the scheme is approved.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[</p>
<p><strong>Global energy officials are weighing the largest coordinated release of emergency oil reserves ever proposed as supply disruptions linked to the ongoing Middle East conflict continue to disrupt global markets, according to an exclusive report by the Wall Street Journal.</strong></p>
<p>Officials familiar with the discussions said the International Energy Agency (IEA) has circulated a proposal among its 32 member countries to release crude from strategic reserves in an effort to stabilize surging prices following the near-total disruption of tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.</p>
<p>The proposed drawdown would exceed the 182 million barrels released in two coordinated actions in 2022 after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Member countries are expected to decide on the plan Wednesday (March 11) during an emergency consultation convened by the agency.</p>
</p>

<h3 data-role="headline">                            Oil markets strained by Gulf supply disruption                                </h3>
<p>The Strait of Hormuz, a narrow maritime corridor connecting the Persian Gulf to international markets, normally carries roughly one-fifth of the world’s daily oil supply.</p>
<p>However, continuous attacks on passing tankers and the escalating security risk in the region have brought shipments through the waterway close to a halt.</p>
<p>Since the US and Israel launched strikes on Iran in late February, crude prices have surged sharply amid fears of a prolonged supply shock. Oil briefly climbed above US$100 per barrel and at one point approached US$120 before retreating as markets reacted to the developing conflict.</p>
</div>
<div class="rebellt-item                                col1" data-id="1" data-reload-ads="false" data-is-image="True" data-href="https://investingnews.com/iea-considers-record-reserve-release/particle-1" data-basename="particle-1" data-post-id="2676083035" data-published-at="1773240581" data-use-pagination="False"><small class="image-media media-caption"></small></p>

<p>Despite the pullback, the price of refined fuels such as diesel has continued to rise, raising concerns about broader economic fallout. Economists warn that sustained high energy prices could drive inflation higher, pressuring financial markets and increasing fuel costs for consumers worldwide.</p>
<p>IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol said global oil markets have deteriorated significantly in recent days.</p>
<p>“In oil markets, conditions have deteriorated in recent days,” Birol said in an IEA statement following a meeting of G7 energy ministers at the agency’s Paris headquarters.</p>
<p>“In addition to the challenges of transit through the Strait of Hormuz, a substantial amount of oil production has been curtailed. This is creating significant and growing risks for the market.”</p>
<p>The IEA was created in 1974 in response to the Arab oil embargo and coordinates emergency actions among industrialized nations when major supply disruptions threaten global energy security.</p>
<p>Member countries currently hold more than 1.2 billion barrels of government-controlled emergency oil reserves, along with roughly 600 million barrels of mandatory industry stocks.</p>
<p>Together, those inventories represent about 124 days of lost supply from the Gulf, based on current estimates.</p>

<h3 data-role="headline">                            G7 backs potential emergency measures                                </h3>
<p>Energy ministers from the Group of Seven (G7) major economies signaled support for the use of strategic reserves if necessary to stabilize markets.</p>
<p>“Working alongside the IEA, we are vigilantly monitoring energy market trends and are coordinating within the G-7 and with our international partners, IEA member countries, and beyond,” the ministers said in a joint statement as reported by Bloomberg.</p>
<p>They added that the group supports “the implementation of proactive measures to address the situation, including the use of strategic reserves.”</p>
<p>Markets have already responded to the possibility of a coordinated release. Brent crude briefly dropped below US$90 per barrel earlier this week as reports emerged that governments were considering tapping stockpiles.</p>
<p>But oil prices resumed climbing in Asian trading on Wednesday as traders weighed how long Middle Eastern supply disruptions could last.</p>
<p>Production across several Gulf states has already begun to decline as exporters struggle to ship crude through the threatened shipping lane. Major producers in the region have reportedly cut output by more than five million barrels per day as storage facilities fill and tankers remain unable to load cargo.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, some governments have started preparing their own emergency responses even before a coordinated decision is reached. Japan said it plans to release oil reserves as early as Monday (March 16) to offset expected supply disruptions.</p>
<p>Tokyo intends to release 15 days’ worth of privately held oil reserves and one month of government stockpiles while also drawing on joint reserves held with oil-producing nations.</p>

<p>Energy analysts say the prospect of coordinated stockpile releases has already begun influencing market behavior.</p>
<p>“Crude oil closed slightly below the US$100 mark after spiking to nearly US$120 per barrel earlier today,” Tullis said. “Helping to bring prices back down were reports that the G7 countries are considering releasing 300-400 million barrels in total from their strategic reserves.”</p>
<p>For instance, the IEA coordinated a record release of emergency reserves in 2022 after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.</p>
<p>Although prices initially rose as traders interpreted the move as a sign of a severe crisis, the additional supply later helped ease market pressure.</p>

<p>Homerun Resources Inc. (TSXV: HMR,OTC:HMRFF) (OTCQB: HMRFF) (&#8216;Homerun&#8217; or the &#8216;Company&#8217;) is pleased to announce that researchers at the University of California, Davis (&#8216;UC Davis&#8217;), in collaboration with Homerun, have successfully produced fused silica glass from raw silica sand using a one-step thermoelectric Fast Joule Heating (&#8216;FJH&#8217;) process. These tests demonstrate, at bench scale, that silica from Homerun&#8217;s Santa Maria Eterna (SME) Silica Sand Project can be converted directly into fused silica glass without chemical reagents, supporting the Company&#8217;s strategy to supply high-value advanced materials markets.</p>
<p>Building upon the prior test work completed by independent materials consultancy Dorfner Anzaplan (see news release), which confirmed that the raw SME silica sand is suitable as feedstock for fused silica production using conventional multi-step processing methods, Homerun and UC Davis specifically set out to evaluate whether that same material could be processed to fused silica glass using new, more efficient one-step thermoelectric processing techniques. The UC Davis testing has now produced fused silica glass. </p>
</p>
<p>The issue confronting wider adoption of high-purity fused silica across high volume traditional and novel end-uses is the limited supply and high price due to the cost of conventional processing techniques.</p>
</p>
<p><b>Figure 1.</b> Image of the flash-joule heating process and setup. A conductive material (here carbon black) is sandwiched between graphite plugs and undergo a rapid heating process as a charged voltage is released from the capacitor. This entire setup is enclosed within a vacuum-sealed chamber, which can be purged and filled with various gases to enable controlled atmospheric environments.</p>

<p><i>Subhash Risbud, Director of the Risbud Research Group at UC Davis, stated, &#8216;Critical to the success of our FJH process was incorporating a conductive medium for the current to flow while yet keeping the silica powder separated. Thus, we developed a new tube-within-tube configuration in which silica is confined to the inner tube while the outer tube contains the conductive substrate (graphite). This approach helps sustain the high temperatures required for extended processing. Based on our results, the silica to fused silica glass synthesis has worked using our FJH equipment (as shown in Figure 1). Fused silica glass was achieved very rapidly after our processing peak temperature reached about 2000 C (above the 1710 C melting point of silica). These exciting new results in processing to fused silica glass using Flash Joule Heating are reported as part of the continuing collaborative research being conducted by the Risbud Research Group at UC Davis and adds to previous new laser-based techniques developed in the same lab for the purification of the SME silica sand, all under the continuing funding from Homerun.&#8217;</i></p>
<p><i>&#8216;Utilizing the Fast Joule Heating method to process a raw silica sample from the Homerun SME Silica Sand Project into fused silica glass is a big step in our advanced materials development,&#8217;</i> stated Brian Leeners, CEO of Homerun. &#8216;<i>The FJH method does not use any chemical reagents and therefore generates no polluting waste stream. If the energy source is renewable, then this is a completely green process. We chose FJH for this testing as it has been scaled utilizing off-the-shelf equipment in other critical materials processing. These techniques, after the necessary improvements, can produce fused silica glass used for medical, pharmaceutical, electronics, photonics and other similar technology and energy applications.&#8217;</i></p>
<p>The next step in the Homerun / UC Davis testing plan is to incorporate off-the-shelf equipment to begin scaling the production capacity of the fused silica glass using FJH. This testing was initiated immediately after the successful bench testing.</p>
<p>Fused silica tech markets are dominated by semiconductor fabrication, high-performance optics, and advanced electronics, driven by its extreme purity, thermal stability, and optical clarity. Key applications include lithography lenses, wafer substrates, fiber optics, and laser systems, with growing demand from 5G, IoT, and long-term data storage. Ultra-pure fused silica also serves as a high-performance, low-loss substrate for superconducting qubits and as a base material for silicon-based, spin-qubit quantum computers.</p>
<p>Nvidia recently announced a combined investment of US$4 billion into two photonics companies, Lumentum and Coherent to advance photonics technology for AI data centers. The multiyear agreements include purchase commitments and capacity access for advanced optical networking products, supporting U.S.-based manufacturing and R&amp;D. The move targets performance and efficiency gains in AI systems by enhancing data transfer capabilities using photonics.</p>
<p>Photonics uses light instead of electrical signals through copper, enabling faster and more energy-efficient data transfer. Nvidia&#8217;s adoption of co-packaged optics in Spectrum and Quantum switches removes the need for pluggable modules on the switch side, cutting hardware requirements and power consumption. This technology is essential for connecting multiple AI systems or data centers over extended distances. Nvidia success could lead to direct integration of photonics into Nvidia&#8217;s GPUs, boosting AI training speed and efficiency. Alternatively, faster innovation from competitors such as Amazon or Google could challenge Nvidia&#8217;s position. Control over photonics supply might also lengthen lead times for rivals, reshaping the competitive dynamics in the optics market.</p>

<p>&#8216;NVIDIA is advancing the world&#8217;s most sophisticated silicon photonics to build the next generation of gigawatt-scale AI factories.&#8217;</p>
<p><b>NEW PATENT APPLICATION ADDED TO PATENT PORTFOLIO</b></p>
<p>Homerun also announces that a new patent application has been filed for an invention resulting under the Company&#8217;s partnership with UC Davis. The invention relates to a:</p>
<p><b>&#8216;PROCESS FOR OBTAINING HIGH-PURITY SILICA SAND AND THE RESULTING PRODUCT.&#8217;</b></p>
<p>The invention describes a novel, environmentally friendly process for purifying silica sand to ultra-high purity levels, primarily targeting industrial applications such as semiconductors, LCDs, and optical glass. The process leverages femtosecond laser ablation, which eliminates the need for hazardous chemicals and energy-intensive mechanical methods traditionally used in silica purification.</p>
<p><b>Key Steps in the Process: </b>Grinding, Vacuum, Laser Treatment and analysis.</p>
<p><b>Results and Advantages:</b></p>
<ul class="ee-ul">
<li>
<p><b>Purity Improvement</b>: The analysis shows a significant reduction in impurities (Ti, Ca, Mg, Fe), with purity increasing from 99.75% to +99.99%.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><b>Environmental Benefits</b>: The process avoids hazardous chemicals and reduces energy consumption compared to conventional methods.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><b>Industrial Relevance</b>: The resulting high-purity quartz silica sand (HPQ) is suitable for demanding industrial uses.</p>

<p>Vancouver, British Columbia&#8211;(Newsfile Corp. &#8211; March 10, 2026) &#8211; Allied Critical Metals Inc. (CSE: ACM,OTC:ACMIF) (OTCQB: ACMIF) (FSE: 0VJ0) (&#8216;Allied&#8217; or the &#8216;Company&#8217;) is pleased to provide additional economic and technical detail from the recently announced Preliminary Economic Assessment (&#8216;PEA&#8217;) for its 100%-owned Borralha Tungsten Project (the &#8216;Borralha Project&#8217;) in northern Portugal. The Borralha Project&#8217;s previously announced PEA economics remain unchanged. </p>
<p><b>This news release is an amending and restating news release clarifying and correcting the immediately preceding news release dated March 9, 2026 to present figures consistently using North American decimal nomenclature rather than European comma nomenclature. In addition, Table 3 was updated to address rounding errors, translation errors and currency conversion using $1.3658 CAD/USD and Table 5 was updated to clarify use of USD $M. </b></p>
<p><b>Roy Bonnell</b>, CEO &amp; Director of Allied, commented: <i>&#8216;Following the release of our initial PEA for the Borralha Project, we received strong investor interest in additional project-level detail. This supplementary disclosure highlights the Project&#8217;s capital efficiency, strong annual cash generation and well-developed infrastructure platform. Importantly, the underlying economics of the PEA remain unchanged, while the additional payback presentation provides another useful reference point for investors evaluating project returns and the strong leverage the Borralha Project has to tungsten prices.&#8217;</i></p>
<p>This additional disclosure provides greater clarity on Borralha Project&#8217;s capital efficiency, expected cash flow generation and rapid capital recovery profile. The PEA outlines a capital-efficient underground tungsten development project within the European Union, demonstrating strong economic returns across a range of tungsten price assumptions and significant leverage to current market prices. The estimated capital expenditures for the build out of the Borralha Project are the result of advanced project infrastructure that a planned hydro-electric power connection, water supply and recycling systems, road access, and paste backfill integration to support operations while minimizing environmental footprint.</p>
<p>The PEA continues to demonstrate a technically robust and capital-efficient underground tungsten development project within the European Union. As previously announced, the PEA was evaluated under three pricing frameworks: <b>the Base case of $962/mtu WO₃ (USD $704/mtu WO₃)</b>, <b>$1,365/mtu WO₃ (USD $1,000/mtu WO₃)</b>, and <b>$2,049/mtu WO₃ (USD $1,500/mtu WO₃)</b>, while mine design and cut-off grade selection were developed using a conservative tungsten price assumption of <b>$900/mtu WO₃ (USD $659/mtu WO₃)</b>. The Company is providing the additional metrics below to facilitate investor understanding of project capital intensity, cash flow generation and payback presentation. For additional information, please see the news release dated March 2, 2026.</p>
<p>For additional reference, the Company is presenting payback under two different measurement bases. The previously disclosed payback metrics were measured from the <b>start of construction (SC)</b>, consistent with standard technical study practice. To facilitate comparison with industry benchmarks, the Company is also providing indicative payback measured from the <b>commencement of commercial production (CCP)</b>.</p>

<p>Payback measured from the start of construction reflects recovery of initial capital over the full development and operating timeline, while payback measured from the start of commercial production excludes the construction phase and is presented for comparative reference only.</p>
<p>The results highlight significant sensitivity to tungsten price while maintaining positive economics under conservative long-term assumptions.</p>
<p>In the Base Case scenario, tungsten (WO₃) represents approximately <b>96% of project NPV</b>, with minor contributions from copper (~3%) and tin (&lt;1%), based on NSR contribution. This highlights that the Borralha Project economics are overwhelmingly driven by tungsten.</p>
<p>For reference, current reported tungsten market prices remain materially above the USD $1,000 per mtu sensitivity case presented in the PEA, reaching approximately $2,998 per mtu (USD $2,195 per mtu) as of March 6, 2026 (Source: Fastmarkets).</p>
<p><b>Mineral Resource Estimate</b></p>
<p>This initial PEA is based on the updated Mineral Resource Estimate (&#8216;MRE&#8217; or &#8216;2025 MRE&#8217;) for the Santa Helena Breccia at the Borralha Project, which were presented in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 &#8211; <i>Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects</i> (&#8216;NI 43-101&#8217;) in the Company&#8217;s current technical report on Borralha (the &#8216;Technical Report&#8217;) entitled &#8216;Technical Report on the Borralha Property, Parish of Salto, District of Vila Real, Portugal&#8217;, dated effective December 30, 2025, which is published on the Company&#8217;s website at www.alliedcritical.com and under its profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.</p>
<p>Under the 2025 MRE, the Santa Helena Breccia has been tested by 41 drill holes and surface trenching over approximately 400 meters of strike length and to depths exceeding 350 meters below surface. Mineralization remains open along strike and at depth. The cut-off grade of 0.09% WO<sub>3</sub>was selected based on reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction under conceptual underground mining and gravity-dominant processing assumptions, including a very conservative tungsten price of USD $ 550/mtu WO₃ and assumed recovery of approximately 80% (for MRE cut-off determination only). </p>

<p><b>Concentrate Marketing Assumptions</b></p>
<p>The PEA assumes production of a marketable tungsten concentrate grading approximately <b>65% WO₃</b> using a gravity-dominant flowsheet. Concentrate pricing assumptions are based on industry-standard tungsten concentrate marketing structures, incorporating typical 80% payability terms and treatment charges applicable to the tungsten market.</p>
<p>The Borralha Project benefits from relatively clean mineralogy dominated by <b>wolframite</b>, which generally reduces impurity-related penalties relative to more complex tungsten concentrates.</p>
<p><b>Capital Efficiency</b></p>
<p>The relatively modest initial capital requirement reflects several favourable project characteristics, including but not limited to:</p>
<ul class="ee-ul">
<li>compact underground mining footprint</li>
<li>gravity-dominant processing flowsheet</li>
<li>access to regional infrastructure including electrical grid power</li>
<li>limited earthworks due to site topography</li>
<li>moderate plant throughput of 1.4 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) of mineralized material</li>
<li>potential Portuguese investment incentives</li>
</ul>
<p>These factors contribute to a capital-efficient development scenario compared with many global tungsten projects.</p>
<p><b>Simplified Annual Cash Flow Metrics</b></p>
<p>The initial Borralha Project mine plan is expected to generate strong annual cash flow<sup>[11]</sup> supported by life-of-mine average production of approximately <b>1,708 tonnes WO₃ per annum</b>, a nominal processing rate of <b>1.4 Mtpa</b>, and an average mill feed grade of approximately <b>0.20% WO₃</b>.</p>

<p><b>Infrastructure and Site Requirements</b></p>
<p>The Borralha Project benefits from favourable site conditions and access to existing regional infrastructure, supporting a capital-efficient development.</p>
<p>Surface infrastructure has been designed to concentrate industrial and administrative facilities within a compact footprint, minimizing environmental disturbance while ensuring operational efficiency. The process plant, paste backfill facility, workshops, administrative buildings and support infrastructure will be located on a centralized platform adjacent to the orebody.</p>
<p>Access to the site will utilize existing regional roads connected to the municipal road CM1025-2. Dedicated routes for light and heavy vehicles have been designed to ensure safe operations while minimizing earthworks and environmental impact.</p>
<p>A comprehensive water management system has been designed to support mining and processing operations. Water supply is expected to be sourced from local groundwater and surface water resources, with water recycling integrated into the process flowsheet. Three retention basins will provide operational water storage, sedimentation and environmental control.</p>
<p>Electrical power will be supplied through connection to the Portuguese national grid via a planned 60 kV overhead line linking the Borralha substation to the SE Frades (REN) substation over approximately 6.5 km. The design complies with applicable national standards and incorporates environmental protection measures.</p>
<p>The project infrastructure design integrates processing, backfill, water management and power supply systems to support efficient underground mining operations while minimizing environmental impact.</p>
<p><b>Key Infrastructure Advantages</b></p>
<ul class="ee-ul">
<li>Grid power connection (60 kV line &#8211; 6.5 km)</li>
<li>Local groundwater and surface water available for operations</li>
<li>Existing regional road access to site</li>
<li>Compact site layout minimizing environmental footprint</li>
<li>Paste backfill and water recycling integrated into plant design</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Ongoing Growth Strategy</b></p>
<p>The current initial PEA is based only on the <b>Santa Helena Breccia</b> deposit and an initial <b>11-year</b> production plan. The Company&#8217;s fully funded <b>20,000-metre</b> drill program is underway and is targeting:</p>
<ul class="ee-ul">
<li>expansion of the current Mineral Resource;</li>
<li>conversion of Inferred Mineral Resources into higher-confidence categories;</li>
<li>potential extension of mine life beyond the initial plan; and</li>

<p><b>Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information</b></p>
<p>This news release contains &#8216;forward-looking information&#8217; within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws (&#8216;<b>FLI</b>&#8216;). FLI in this release includes, without limitation, statements regarding: (A) the PEA results and economic indicators (e.g., NPV, IRR, payback and related sensitivities); (B) the conceptual mine plan and operating framework (mining approach, processing rates, production profiles, cost ranges and schedules); (C) the technical basis and process assumptions (cut-off approach, flowsheet concept and anticipated concentrate specifications); (D) the status and trajectory of permitting and approvals, infrastructure access and other site requirements; (E) market-related assumptions and the Project&#8217;s sensitivity and leverage to commodity pricing; (F) growth, conversion and expansion opportunities, including planned drilling and other technical programs; (G) the anticipated sequence of future studies, potential financing pathways and indicative timelines; and (H) the Project&#8217;s strategic positioning relative to regional and policy objectives. Such FLI is identified by, among other things, words such as &#8216;plans&#8217;, &#8216;expects&#8217;, &#8216;is expected&#8217;, &#8216;aims&#8217;, &#8216;budget&#8217;, &#8216;scheduled&#8217;, &#8216;estimates&#8217;, &#8216;forecasts&#8217;, &#8216;intends&#8217;, &#8216;anticipates&#8217;, &#8216;potential&#8217;, &#8216;target&#8217;, &#8216;opportunity&#8217;, &#8216;may&#8217;, &#8216;could&#8217;, &#8216;would&#8217;, &#8216;might&#8217;, &#8216;will&#8217; and similar terminology, as well as statements regarding outcomes that &#8216;will&#8217;, &#8216;should&#8217; or &#8216;would&#8217; occur.</p>
<p>Material assumptions underlying the FLI include, but are not limited to: the accuracy of the 2025 MRE; geological continuity; the PEA-level capital/operating cost estimates (with typical PEA accuracy ranges); metallurgical recoveries and process performance consistent with test results to date; availability of labour, equipment and consumables at quoted/priced levels; access to grid power and water on contemplated terms; the ability to obtain land access, permits and approvals (including RECAPE) in a timely manner; tungsten pricing consistent with Argus long-term forecasts or stated sensitivity cases; foreign exchange and inflation consistent with study inputs; and availability of financing on acceptable terms. The Company believes these assumptions are reasonable as of the date hereof, but no assurance can be given that they will prove correct. </p>
<p>The PEA is preliminary in nature and includes Inferred Mineral Resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves. There is no certainty that the PEA results will be realized. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. Any reference to potential production, mine life, NPV, IRR, payback, costs, recoveries, or other economic or technical parameters is preliminary and conceptual. </p>
<p>Key risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the FLI include, but are not limited to: (i) exploration, geological, modelling and grade-continuity risks, including the risk that further work does not confirm Inferred material or resource extensions; (ii) risks that metallurgical performance, WO₃ recoveries, concentrate quality or processing costs differ from test work and assumptions; (iii) capital cost escalation, schedule delays, contractor availability and supply-chain constraints; (iv) operating cost inflation (power, reagents, labour, transportation); (v) commodity price and FX volatility (including sustained periods below the Argus long-term or sensitivity prices assumed); (vi) permitting, environmental, social, community, land access and regulatory risks in Portugal (including RECAPE outcomes and permit conditions); (vii) water, tailings and geotechnical/hydrogeological risks inherent in underground operations; (viii) offtake, marketing and market-access risks for tungsten concentrates; (ix) availability and cost of equity, debt or project finance on acceptable terms; (x) changes in laws, regulations, taxes, royalties, or government policies; and (xi) other risks described under &#8216;Business Risks&#8217; in the Company&#8217;s most recent MD&amp;A and in other continuous disclosure filings available on SEDAR+. Readers are urged to carefully review those risk factors, which are expressly incorporated by reference into this cautionary note.</p>
<p><b>Non-GAAP Financial Measures </b></p>
<p>The Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release. These financial measures are not defined under International Financial Reporting Standards (&#8216;<b>IFRS</b>&#8216;) and should not be considered in isolation. The Company believes that these financial measures, together with financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS, provide investors with an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company. The inclusion of these financial measures is meant to provide additional information and should not be used as a substitute for performance measures prepared in accordance with IFRS. These financial measures are not necessarily standard and therefore may not be comparable to other issuers. </p>
<p>Net Present Value (NPV) – is the present value calculation of net profit from operations determined using a particular discount rate. All NPV values stated herein are on an after tax basis.</p>
<p>Internal Rate of Return (IRR) – is a financial metric used to assess an investment&#8217;s profitability by calculating the annual rate of return that makes the NPV of all cash flows (both positive and negative) equal to zero.</p>
<p>Payback – is calculated in years as the length of time that it takes to pay off the capital costs from annual net profit expected from operations at the Borralha Project.</p>
<p>Initial capital – is the initial capital cost amount required to be expended to construct the mine and tungsten concentrator process equipment and buildings to begin processing mineralized material into saleable tungsten concentrate at commercial quantities according to the life of mine plan at the Borralha Project. Table 3 above provides a breakdown of the initial capital costs. This is an estimate accurate to +/-35%.</p>
<p>Sustaining capital – is a supplementary financial measure which reflects cash basis expenditures which are expected to maintain operations and sustain production levels at the Borralha Project.</p>
<p>Capital costs or Total life of mine capital costs – include the Initial capital and the sustaining capital. </p>
<p>Operating costs – are the costs required to process mineralized material into saleable tungsten concentrate at the Borralha Project. This includes: underground mining; processing and plant operations; general and administrative costs; and site services and infrastructure support (see Table 4 above for a breakdown of the operating costs). This can be calculated on the unit basis per mtu WO<sub>3</sub> produced.</p>
<p>Cash flow – includes average annual revenue, average annual EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), average annual pre-tax cash flow, average annual free cash flow, life of mine revenue, life of mine free cash flow. Average annual revenue is the average annual gross revenue over the life of mine. Average annual EBITDA is the average annual EBITDA over the life of mine. Average annual pre-tax cash flow is the average over the life of mine of the annual free cash flow prior to deduction of taxes. Life of mine revenue is the total gross revenue over the life of mine. Life of mine free cash flow is the total free cash flow over the life of mine. Free cash flows are revenues net of operating costs, royalties, working capital adjustments, capital expenditures and cash taxes. The Company believes that this measure is useful to readers in assessing the Company&#8217;s ability to generate cash flows from Borralha.</p>
<p>All-In Sustaining Costs (AISC) – are comprised of sustaining capital expenditures and site level costs to support ongoing operations and closure costs. All-in sustaining costs per mtu WO<sub>3</sub> is calculated as AISC divided by the amount of mtu WO<sub>3</sub> produced during the period that the costs are incurred. All-in sustaining costs capture the important components of the Company&#8217;s production and related costs and are used by the Company and investors to understand projected cost performance at the Borralha Project. Adoption of the all-in sustaining cost metric is voluntary and not necessarily standard, and therefore, this measure presented by the Company may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. The Company believes that the all-in sustaining cost measure complements existing measures and ratios reported by the Company. All-in sustaining cost includes both operating and capital costs required to sustain WO<sub>3</sub> production on an ongoing basis. Sustaining operating costs represents expenditures expected to be incurred at the Project that are considered necessary to maintain production. Sustaining capital represents expected capital expenditures comprising mine development costs, including capitalized waste, and ongoing replacement of mine equipment and other capital facilities, and does not include expected capital expenditures for major growth projects or enhancement capital for significant infrastructure improvements.</p>

]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[</p>
<p><strong>Global oil and gas prices rallied sharply over the weekend as escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East rattled energy markets and triggered fears of a major supply disruption. </strong></p>
<p>Benchmark crude prices surged to their highest levels in years, with traders pricing in the possibility of prolonged instability across one of the world’s most important energy-producing regions. Brent crude briefly climbed above US$115 a barrel in early trading, while US benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI) also spiked sharply, marking one of the largest short-term gains since the energy shock following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022.</p>
<p>At the heart of the rally is the escalating conflict involving Iran and its regional rivals, which has raised concerns about the security of critical oil infrastructure and shipping routes. </p>
</p>
<p>Analysts say the market reaction reflects the risk that the conflict could disrupt flows through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway that normally carries roughly 20 percent of the world’s oil supply.</p>
<p>Recent attacks on energy infrastructure have intensified those fears. In early March, a drone strike targeted Saudi Arabia’s Ras Tanura refinery, one of the kingdom’s largest oil processing facilities, prompting temporary operational disruptions and contributing to an immediate spike in global crude prices.</p>
<p>At the same time, tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has plummeted as shipping companies and energy traders reassess risks in the region. Reports indicate that hundreds of vessels have avoided the route, effectively constraining the flow of crude from major Gulf exporters including Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates.</p>
<p>Markets are particularly sensitive to disruptions in the Gulf because the region serves as a critical artery for global energy trade. If the conflict escalates further or shipping lanes remain restricted, analysts warn that millions of barrels per day could be removed from the market.</p>
<p>“The conflict has shifted from geopolitical risk to real supply disruption,” analysts said, noting that energy infrastructure attacks and transport bottlenecks are tightening the global supply outlook.</p>
<p>Energy traders are also watching the potential response from major producing nations and international organizations. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, known as OPEC+, have historically attempted to stabilize markets by adjusting production quotas. Decisions by the group to cut or increase output often play a decisive role in shaping oil prices.</p>
</p>
<div class="rebellt-item                                col1" data-id="1" data-reload-ads="false" data-is-image="False" data-href="https://investingnews.com/oil-price-strait-hormuz-supply/from-surplus-to-deficit" data-basename="from-surplus-to-deficit" data-post-id="2675913023" data-published-at="1773067471" data-use-pagination="False">
<h3 data-role="headline">                            From surplus to deficit                                 </h3>
<p>“The global oil market has been in significant surplus since the start of 2025. Ahead of the military actions that began on 28 February, global oil supply was also expected to far exceed demand in 2026,” an International Energy Agency report notes.</p>
<p>“However, prolonged supply disruptions could flip the market into a deficit. The disruption to oil flows through the Strait has forced some operators to start shutting in production. The region’s output of refined products has also been impacted.”</p>
<p>Meanwhile, some governments are weighing the release of strategic petroleum reserves in an attempt to dampen the rally. Several Group of Seven countries have signaled they could coordinate emergency stockpile releases if supply disruptions worsen.</p>
<p>Despite these potential interventions, market analysts warn that geopolitical shocks tend to produce sharp and prolonged price swings. If the current conflict expands or energy infrastructure remains under threat, crude prices could climb even higher, with some forecasts suggesting oil could test US$120 to US$150 per barrel under severe supply constraints.</p>
<p>For the Independent Commodity Intelligence Services (ICIS) the duration of any disruption is the most critical factor in determining the scale of price impacts.</p>
<p>ICIS model-based analysis suggests that even a relatively short interruption to shipping through the Strait could push European gas prices sharply higher. Under a scenario in which the waterway is closed for four weeks, benchmark prices at the Title Transfer Facility (TTF) could rise to approximately 60 euros per megawatt-hour in March, with summer prices remaining about 20 percent above pre-crisis forward levels.</p>
<p>A more prolonged disruption would amplify the impact considerably. In a scenario where the Strait remains closed for three months, TTF prices could climb to roughly 85 euros per megawatt-hour, reflecting heightened competition for global liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargoes and growing concerns over European supply security.</p>
<p>The analysis underscores the extent to which Europe’s gas market remains exposed to global LNG dynamics, even after several years of efforts to diversify supply following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The continent now relies heavily on LNG imports to balance demand, meaning that any disruption affecting shipments from the Middle East, one of the world’s largest LNG-exporting regions, would quickly ripple through European pricing.</p>
<p>Higher LNG prices would also have important implications for gas storage levels across the EU. As imported cargoes become more expensive, utilities may draw more heavily on existing inventories to meet near-term demand. This dynamic would likely lead to faster depletion of stored gas during the spring and early summer, leaving less cushion ahead of the winter heating season.</p>
<p>At the same time, elevated prices would increase the urgency of replenishing storage facilities during the summer injection period. Market participants would need to secure additional LNG cargoes to rebuild inventories, further intensifying competition for global supply and sustaining upward pressure on prices.</p>
<p>Recent adjustments to EU storage policy could somewhat soften the immediate price shock, but analysts say the broader supply-risk profile would remain largely unchanged. In particular, the European Union’s decision to relax storage-filling requirements may reduce short-term demand for gas injections, thereby moderating the initial spike in spot prices.</p>
<p>However, the policy shift does little to alter the underlying supply constraints that could emerge later in the year. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[</p>
<p><strong>Force majeure declarations are beginning to ripple across the global commodities sector as the escalating conflict in the Middle East threatens to spread shocks beyond oil and gas.</strong></p>
<p>Energy companies, producers, and traders are already grappling with interruptions to shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow waterway linking the Persian Gulf to global markets.</p>
<p> The strait typically carries roughly one-fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas supply, making it one of the most important chokepoints in global commodity trade.</p>
</p>
<div class="rebellt-item                                col1" data-id="1" data-reload-ads="false" data-is-image="False" data-href="https://investingnews.com/force-majeure-spreads-global-commodities/energy-producers-declare-force-majeure" data-basename="energy-producers-declare-force-majeure" data-post-id="2675908430" data-published-at="1773062633" data-use-pagination="False">
<h3 data-role="headline">                            Energy producers declare force majeure                                </h3>
<p>Some of the first force majeure declarations have emerged from the energy sector.</p>
<p>QatarEnergy declared force majeure on liquefied natural gas (LNG) deliveries this week after attacks forced the state-owned company to halt production at key facilities. The decision followed strikes on two LNG installations and continuing security threats in the region.</p>
<p>In Israel, Chevron (NYSE:CVX) also declared force majeure at the Leviathan offshore gas field after authorities ordered a shutdown following US–Israeli strikes on Iran and subsequent retaliation across the region.</p>
<p>Leviathan is Israel’s largest gas field and supplies natural gas to Israel, Egypt and Jordan. The suspension marks the second time in less than a year that regional hostilities have interrupted operations at the site.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, oil producers in the Gulf have begun cutting output as tankers struggle to move through Hormuz. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Kuwait have both started reducing production after storage facilities began filling up when exports could not leave the region.</p>
</div>
<div class="rebellt-item                                col1" data-id="2" data-reload-ads="false" data-is-image="False" data-href="https://investingnews.com/force-majeure-spreads-global-commodities/aluminum-precious-metals-markets-feel-the-shock" data-basename="aluminum-precious-metals-markets-feel-the-shock" data-post-id="2675908430" data-published-at="1773062633" data-use-pagination="False">
<h3 data-role="headline">                            Aluminum, precious metals markets feel the shock                                </h3>
<p>Aluminium Bahrain BSC has invoked force majeure on some shipments after maritime traffic through Hormuz effectively stalled. The company said the measure was tied to transit disruptions rather than damage to its smelter operations.</p>
<p>The announcement sent aluminum prices sharply higher. Futures in London surged to their highest level since 2022, rising as much as 5.1 percent during trading before settling higher on the day.</p>
<p>The aluminum market is particularly sensitive to supply disruptions because the metal is used across a wide range of industries, including automotive manufacturing, construction, appliances and packaging. Even short interruptions can create shortages for manufacturers that rely on tightly timed deliveries of specialized metal products.</p>
<p>Mining financier Robert Friedland, founder of Ivanhoe Mines (TSX:IVN,OTCQX:IVPAF), warned that the broader consequences of a prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz could extend far beyond the Gulf region.</p>
<p>“Further to what we said about the impact that the closing of the Strait of Hormuz has on the sulphur market… and therefore African copper production… Craig Tindale maps out that this is only one small piece of a giant and critically important 3D jigsaw,” Friedland wrote on X.</p>
<p>“Everything affects everything, everywhere, all of the time.”</p>
<p>Meanwhile, precious metals markets are also feeling the effects of the conflict. Air traffic across much of the Gulf region has been curtailed since US and Israeli strikes on Iran began earlier this week, halting most flights in and out of Dubai.</p>
<p>Dubai, one of the world’s most important hubs for bullion logistics, handled roughly 20 percent of global gold shipments last year, serving as a key transit point for metal moving from Africa and Europe to Asian markets.</p>
<p>With flights grounded, traders say shipments of gold and silver have stalled across several trading centers.</p>
<p>“Gold availability has become a concern following the suspension of flights from the Middle East,” said John Reade, senior market strategist at the World Gold Council (WGC).</p>
<p>Some traders say prolonged disruptions could increase volatility in precious metals markets that have already seen sharp price swings this year. Gold recently surged to record levels above US$5,400 per ounce amid geopolitical tensions before easing slightly this week. </p>
