Darren L. Smith, Executive Vice President Exploration for the Company, comments: "The recent surface exploration at Shaakichiuwaanaan has delivered multiple new discoveries with strong results that continue to support the scale and growth potential for lithium, caesium, and tantalum across the Property. The discovery of a new caesium-rich LCT pegmatite occurrence (Cosma), located along the highly prospective Mickel Trend – which also hosts the CV9, CV10, CV14, and CV15 pegmatites – supports the presence of a large, highly-evolved, and fertile LCT pegmatite system within the western area of the Property, which has seen only limited drill testing to date.

Additionally, the presence of well-mineralized LCT pegmatites at Pikwa, Pontois, and Pontax demonstrates the strength and prospectivity of the Company's broader portfolio of properties," added Mr. Smith.

PMET RESOURCES INC. (THE "COMPANY" OR "PMET") (TSX: PMET) (ASX: PMT) (OTCQX: PMETF) (FSE: R9GA) is pleased to announce multiple new Li-Cs-Ta ("LCT") pegmatite discoveries at its flagship Shaakichiuwaanaan Property, as well as at its broader portfolio of properties (Pikwa, Pontois, and Pontax), all located in Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Quebec (Figure 1).

In addition to the Company's core discoveries and resources at the CV5 and CV13 pegmatites, exploration activities continue within the near-field core Shaakichiuwaanaan area and across the adjacent regional tenure (Figure 2). Collectively, the Shaakichiuwaanaan, Pikwa, and Pontois properties cover more than 70 km of continuous and highly prospective greenstone belt, which the Company believes to be the most significant trend for LCT pegmatites in North America.

The Shaakichiuwaanaan Property is the Company's flagship asset and hosts one of the largest pegmatite Mineral Resources¹ (Li, Cs, Ta) and Mineral Reserves² (Li) in the world (Figure 1 and Figure 2), situated approximately 13 km south of the regional and all-weather Trans-Taiga Road (accessible year-round by road) and Hydro Quebec infrastructure corridor. The Company recently announced a robust lithium-only Feasibility Study for the CV5 Pegmatite, which positions the Project as a potential North American critical mineral powerhouse (see news release dated October 20, 2025).

SHAAKICHIUWAANAAN (PLUS PIKWA AND PONTOIS)

Cosma LCT Pegmatite

Several outcropping and well-mineralised LCT pegmatite discoveries have been made at Shaakichiuwaanaan in recent surface exploration. This includes the Cosma Pegmatite (outcrop), which returned significant grades of caesium and tantalum in initial grab sampling in 2025 – 9.42% Cs₂O and 267 ppm Ta₂O₅ (0.01% Li₂O). Follow-up channel sampling returned 4.4 m at 3.61% Cs₂O and 609 ppm Ta₂O₅, including 0.5 m at 16.43% Cs₂O (CH25-133), confirming the significance of the surface exposure (Figure 2 and Figure 3).

The Cosma Pegmatite is expressed at surface as a ~8 x 4 m white outcrop and is open in multiple directions. The outcrop is situated approximately 2.5 km along trend to the west-southwest of the CV15 pegmatite cluster and – together with the Felix and Drakkar spodumene pegmatites discussed below – now extends the Mickel LCT Pegmatite Trend to ~10.5 km (from the previous 5.5 km) (Figure 4). Of this ~10.5 km length, only the CV9 Pegmatite – at the eastern-most end of the trend – has been drill tested. Drill results at CV9 include 30.6 m at 0.80% Li₂O (CV23-345), 10.8 m at 1.00% Li₂O (CV23-267), and 7.7 m at 1.35% Li₂O (CV23-333), with an area of the pegmatite estimated at up to 80 m true width, demonstrating significant scale potential (see news release dated April 8, 2024).

Cosma is the westernmost occurrence of caesium pegmatite encountered at Shaakichiuwaanaan to date. The discovery is very encouraging, as most caesium deposits (apart from the world-class Vega Caesium Zone at the CV13 Pegmatite held by the Company) tend to be on the order of tens- to hundreds-of-thousands of tonnes. Therefore, relatively small occurrences can mark very material discoveries – especially when exposed at surface. The Company intends to follow-up on this discovery during the 2026 surface program.

A total of 355 rock samples (outcrop, boulder, and channels) were collected during the 2025 exploration of the Shaakichiuwaanaan Property, with results ranging from <0.01 to 4.51% Li₂O, <5 to 2,580 ppm Ta₂O₅, and <0.01 to 16.43% Cs₂O. Exploration was focused on LCT pegmatite.

Felix & Drakkar LCT Pegmatites

Additionally, the Company is pleased to announce an emerging discovery of LCT Pegmatite called Felix, located near the western margins of the Shaakichiuwaanaan Property, proximal to the recently acquired Pikwa Property and its Drakkar Spodumene Pegmatite. The Felix Pegmatite is characterized by a cluster of multiple mineralized outcrops spread over a ~450 m trend, with assays including 1.80% Li₂O and 1.21% Li₂O in outcrop. Channel sampling at Felix is planned for the 2026 exploration field program.

The Drakkar LCT Pegmatite (2.45% Li₂O in outcrop), discovered by Azimut Exploration and Soquem, is situated ~550 m to the southwest of the Felix Pegmatite on the adjoining Pikwa Property, which is now held 100% by the Company (see news release dated November 12, 2025). The Company is currently designing an inaugural surface exploration program at Pikwa, which will be focused on LCT pegmatite. Historical exploration of the Pikwa Property was focused on base and precious metals with several notable discoveries including the Hyperion Prospect³ (7.17 g/t Au in outcrop) and the Copperfield Prospect⁴ (13.45 g/t Au, 9.81 % Cu, and 37.6 g/t Ag in outcrop). However, the primary greenstone belt trend has seen only limited exploration focused on LCT pegmatite (Figure 5).

Skald LCT Pegmatite

The Skald LCT Pegmatite was discovered in 2025 during surface exploration of the Pontois Property, which is situated immediately adjacent to the western border of the Pikwa Property (Figure 5). The Skald Pegmatite is characterized by a spodumene-bearing pegmatite outcrop of ~2 m x 3 m in size (open), with a sample assay of 2.94% Li₂O and 60 ppm Ta₂O₅. The discovery is very promising as it highlights the potential of the ~12 km's of highly prospective greenstone belt corridor at the Pikwa Property where only limited LCT pegmatite exploration has been completed historically.

Coupled with Pikwa and Shaakichiuwaanaan, the Company controls more than 70 km of the La Grande Greenstone Belt, which is considered highly prospective for LCT pegmatite and is host to the world-class CV5 (Li-Ta) and CV13 (Li-Cs-Ta) pegmatite deposits currently under development. 

A total of 69 rock samples (outcrop and boulder) were collected during the 2025 exploration of the Pontois Property, with results ranging from <0.01 to 2.94% Li₂O, <5 to 60 ppm Ta₂O₅, and <0.01% to 0.077% Cs₂O. Exploration was focused on LCT pegmatite.

Pontax

In 2025, surface exploration of the Company's Pontax Property resulted in the discovery of the Overload Caesium-Tantalum Showing with an outcrop sample assaying 7.53% Cs₂O and 3,768 ppm Ta₂O₅ (Figure 6). The sample was collected from a 0.5 - 1 m wide by >50 m long white pegmatite dyke, which remains open along strike. Although not identified during field observations, the presence of pollucite (and likely columbo-tantalite) are inferred given the grades, as well as mineralogy confirming the presence of both minerals at the nearby Resisto Showing.

Next to Pikwa, the Pontax Property is the most advanced regional asset in the Company's portfolio. Prior exploration has discovered a multi-kilometre long trend containing a significant number of well-mineralized (in Li and Ta) LCT pegmatite outcrops – namely, Resisto (2.86% Li₂O; 9,152 ppm Ta₂O₅), Inducto (2.69% Li₂O; 397 ppm Ta₂O₅), and Capacito (3.81% Li₂O; 365 ppm Ta₂O₅) (Figure 5). The Resisto Showing is the most significant occurrence, characterized by a swarm of white pegmatite outcrops, with channel sampling (completed in 2022) returning considerable tantalum grades – 12.1 m at 0.55% Li₂O and 2,166 ppm Ta₂O₅, including 4.0 m at 4,596 ppm Ta₂O₅.

The Overload Showing is situated approximately 1.6 km along strike of the Resisto Showing, with the prospective trend now expanded to over 3.7 km between Capacito and Overload. None of the showings along this trend have been drill tested.

A total of 54 rock samples (outcrop and boulder) were collected during the 2025 exploration of the Pontax Property with results ranging from <0.01% to 2.65% Li₂O, <5 to 3,768 ppm Ta₂O₅, and <0.01% to 7.53% Cs₂O. Additionally, one sample collected from an amphibolite outcrop, approximately 35 m from the Overload Showing, assayed 1.02 g/t Au, 17 g/t Ag, and 1.11% Cu (the "Subordi" Showing). Exploration was focused on LCT pegmatite.

Next Steps

The 2025 surface exploration programs at Shaakichiuwaanaan, Pontois, and Pontax, included geological mapping, regional prospecting, and surface sampling and was focused on the discovery of new LCT pegmatite occurrences. Collectively, over 400 rock samples were collected in 2025, with notable LCT pegmatite occurrences discovered at each of the three properties. The discoveries highlight the prospective nature of the Company's broader portfolio of properties, and further enhance the prospectivity of its flagship Shaakichiuwaanaan asset.  

The Company is currently planning follow-up surface work in 2026 at its Shaakichiuwaanaan, Pikwa (inaugural program), and Eastmain properties, and is evaluating options for the next stage of exploration at Pontax.

QUALITY ASSURANCE / QUALITY CONTROL (QAQC)

The Company has relied on internal laboratory checks and blank / certified reference material insertion for surface rock samples. Management cautions that prospecting surface rock samples and associated assays, as discussed herein, are selective by nature and represent a point location, and therefore may not necessarily be fully representative of the mineralized horizon sampled.

All surface samples collected were shipped to SGS Canada's laboratory in Val-d'Or, QC, for sample preparation (code PRP90 special) which includes drying at 105°C, crush to 90% passing 2 mm, riffle split 250 g, and pulverize 85% passing 75 microns. The pulps were shipped by air to SGS Canada's laboratory in Burnaby, BC, where the samples were homogenized and subsequently analyzed for multi-element (including Li and Ta) using sodium peroxide fusion with ICP-AES/MS finish (codes GE_ICP91A50 and GE_IMS91A50). Overlimits for Cs were completed at SGS Canada's laboratory in Lakefield, ON, by borate-fusion XRF (code GC_XRF76V).

APPENDIX 1 – JORC CODE 2012 TABLE 1 (ASX LISTING RULE 5.7.1)

Section 1 – Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria	JORC Code explanation	Commentary
Sampling techniques	Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific specialized industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole 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 of mineralization that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where 'industry standard' work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg 'reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverized 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 mineralization types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.	Prospecting rock samples were collected as grab and/or chip samples and represent a point location. Channel sampling followed best industry practices with a 3 to 5 cm wide, saw-cut channel completed across the pegmatite outcrop as practical, perpendicular to the interpreted pegmatite strike. Samples were collected at ~0.5 to 1 m contiguous intervals with the channel bearing noted, and GPS coordinate collected at the start and end points of the channel. Surface samples collected were shipped to SGS Canada's laboratory in Val-d'Or, QC, for sample preparation (code PRP90 special) which included drying at 105°C, crush to 90% passing 2 mm, riffle split 250 g, and pulverize 85% passing 75 microns. Surface sample pulps were shipped by air to SGS Canada's laboratory in Burnaby, BC, where the samples were homogenized and subsequently analysed for multi-element (including Li, Ta, and Cs) using sodium peroxide fusion with ICP-AES/MS finish (codes GE_ICP91A50 and GE_IMS91A50). Overlimits for Cs were completed at SGS Canada's laboratory in Lakefield, ON, by borate-fusion XRF (code GC_XRF76V). The Hyperion (535910 E, 5928948 N) and Copperfield (552749 E, 5934289 N) surface samples reported herein are historical samples collected in 2018 and 2019 respectively. Samples were analysed by ALS Chemex in Val-d'Or, QC, for Au by fire assay (code Au-AA24) and multi-element 4-acid (code ME-MS61). Overlimits for Au and Cu were determined by codes Au-GRA22 and Cu-OG62.
Drilling techniques	Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc).	N/A. No drill results reported.
Drill sample recovery	Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. Measures taken to maximize sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.	N/A. No drill results reported.
Logging	Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged.	The logging is qualitative by nature, and includes estimates of spodumene grain size, inclusions, and model mineral estimates. These logging practices meet or exceed current industry standard practices. Surface sampling is not sufficient to support a mineral resource estimate.
Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation	If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. If non-core, whether riffled, 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.

Exploration done by other parties	Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties.	At the Shaakichiuwaanaan Property, no previous exploration targeting LCT pegmatites has been conducted by other parties. For a summary of previous exploration undertaken by other parties at Shaakichiuwaanaan, please refer to the most recent NI 43-101 Technical Report. Historical exploration focused on base and precious metals. At the Pontois and Pontax Properties, no previous exploration targeting LCT pegmatites has been conducted by other parties. Historical exploration focused on base and precious metals. At the Pikwa Property, historical exploration focused on base and precious metals. However, exploration for LCT pegmatite was completed circa 2024 and is considered limited in nature compared to the overall exploration completed at the Property.
Geology	Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralization.	The Shaakichiuwaanaan, Pikwa, and Pontois properties overlie a large portion of the Lac Guyer Greenstone Belt, considered part of the larger La Grande River Greenstone Belt and is dominated by volcanic rocks metamorphosed to amphibolite facies. The claim block is dominantly host to rocks of the Guyer Group (amphibolite, iron formation, intermediate to mafic volcanics, peridotite, pyroxenite, komatiite, as well as felsic volcanics). The amphibolite rocks that trend east-west (generally steeply south dipping) through this region are bordered to the north by the Magin Formation (conglomerate and wacke) and to the south by an assemblage of tonalite, granodiorite, and diorite, in addition to metasediments of the Marbot Group (conglomerate, wacke). Several regional-scale Proterozoic gabbroic dykes also cut through portions of the Property (Lac Spirt Dykes, Senneterre Dykes). The geological setting is prospective for multiple commodities over several different deposit styles including orogenic gold (Au), volcanogenic massive sulphide (Cu, Au, Ag), komatiite-ultramafic (Au, Ag, PGE, Ni, Cu, Co), and LCT pegmatite (Li, Cs, Ta, Ga, Rb). Exploration of the Shaakichiuwaanaan Property has outlined three primary mineral exploration trends crossing dominantly east-west over large portions of the Property – Golden Trend (gold), Maven Trend (copper, gold, silver), and CV Trend (lithium, caesium, tantalum). The CV4, CV5, CV8, CV12, and CV13 pegmatites are situated within the CV Trend.  The pegmatites at Shaakichiuwaanaan are categorized as Li-Cs-Ta ("LCT") pegmatites. LCT mineralization at the Property is observed to occur within quartz-feldspar pegmatite. The pegmatite is often very coarse-grained and off-white in appearance, with darker sections commonly composed of mica and smoky quartz, and occasional tourmaline.  Core assays and ongoing mineralogical studies, coupled with field mineral identification and assays confirm spodumene as the dominant lithium-bearing mineral on the Shaakichiuwaanaan Property, with no significant petalite, lepidolite, lithium-phosphate minerals, or apatite present. The spodumene crystal size of the pegmatites is typically decimeter scale, and therefore, very large. The pegmatites also carry significant tantalum (tantalite) and caesium (pollucite). Gallium is present in spodumene and feldspar via substitution with Al. The Pontax Property overlies a the Pontax/Chambois Greenstone Belt, extending southwest from the Eastmain River Greenstone Belt.
Drill hole Information	A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: easting and northing of the drill hole collar elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar dip and azimuth of the hole down hole length and interception depth hole length. If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case.	N/A. No drill results reported.
Data aggregation methods	In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated.	N/A. No drill results reported.
Relationship between mineralization widths and intercept lengths	These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. If the geometry of the mineralization with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg 'down hole length, true width not known').	N/A. No drill results reported.
Diagrams	Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported. These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views.	Please refer to the figures included herein as well as those posted on the Company's website.
Balanced reporting	Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results.	Reporting is balanced.
Other substantive exploration data	Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances.	All work discussed below pertains to the Shaakichiuwaanaan Property. The Company is currently completing site environmental work over the CV5 and CV13 pegmatite area. No endangered flora or fauna have been documented over the Property to date, and several sites have been identified as potentially suitable for mine infrastructure. The Company has completed a bathymetric survey over the shallow glacial lake which overlies a portion of the CV5 Spodumene Pegmatite. The lake depth ranges from <2 m to approximately 18 m, although the majority of the CV5 Spodumene Pegmatite, as delineated to date, is overlain by typically <2 to 10 m of water. The Company has completed significant metallurgical testing comprised of HLS and magnetic testing, which has produced 6+% Li2O spodumene concentrates at >70% recovery on both CV5 and CV13 pegmatite material. A DMS test on CV5 Pegmatite material returned a Subsequent and more expansive DMS pilot programs completed, including with non-pegmatite dilution, produced results in line with prior testwork, confirming a DMS-only flowsheet is applicable. Piloting to date (using both drill core and boulders) has collectively produced over 4.5 tonnes of spodumene concentrate grading over 5.5% Li2O. The Company has also produced a marketable lithium hydroxide concentrate from CV5's spodumene concentrate. The Company has produced marketable tantalite concentrates at bench-scale from the CV5 Pegmatite's DMS (spodumene) tailings fractions. The testwork used gravity or gravity + flotation methods to produce tantalite concentrates grading 8.7% Ta2O5 at 45% global recovery (MC001) and 6.6% Ta2O5 at 49% global recovery (MC002). The Company has produced marketable pollucite concentrates at bench-scale from the CV13 Pegmatite's Vega Caesium Zone. The testwork used XRT ore sorting to produce concentrates of 11.5% Cs2O and 20.0% Cs2O at an overall 88% recovery. Various mandates required for advancing the Project have been completed or are ongoing, including but not limited to, environmental baseline, metallurgy, geomechanics, hydrogeology, hydrology, stakeholder engagement, geochemical characterization, as well as transportation and logistical studies. A Feasibility Study for lithium-only on the CV5 Pegmatite was announced October 20, 2025.
Further work	The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling). Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive.	The Company intends to continue drilling the pegmatites of the Shaakichiuwaanaan Property, primarily targetting lithium, caesium, and tantalum as the primary commodities of interest. This is anticipated to includes step-out and infill drilling. Further drilling is anticipated to support the development of the CV5 and CV13 pegmatites (i.e., resource, geotechnical, geomechanical, and hydrogeological). Metallurgical test programs evaluating the recovery of lithium, caesium, and tantalum are ongoing. Surface prospecting, rock sampling, and mapping is planned to continue across the Company's portfolio of properties focused on LCT pegmatite.

• The geological setting is prospective for multiple commodities over several different deposit styles including orogenic gold (Au), volcanogenic massive sulphide (Cu, Au, Ag), komatiite-ultramafic (Au, Ag, PGE, Ni, Cu, Co), and LCT pegmatite (Li, Cs, Ta, Ga, Rb).
• Exploration of the Shaakichiuwaanaan Property has outlined three primary mineral exploration trends crossing dominantly east-west over large portions of the Property – Golden Trend (gold), Maven Trend (copper, gold, silver), and CV Trend (lithium, caesium, tantalum). The CV4, CV5, CV8, CV12, and CV13 pegmatites are situated within the CV Trend. 
• The pegmatites at Shaakichiuwaanaan are categorized as Li-Cs-Ta ("LCT") pegmatites. LCT mineralization at the Property is observed to occur within quartz-feldspar pegmatite. The pegmatite is often very coarse-grained and off-white in appearance, with darker sections commonly composed of mica and smoky quartz, and occasional tourmaline. 
• Core assays and ongoing mineralogical studies, coupled with field mineral identification and assays confirm spodumene as the dominant lithium-bearing mineral on the Shaakichiuwaanaan Property, with no significant petalite, lepidolite, lithium-phosphate minerals, or apatite present. The spodumene crystal size of the pegmatites is typically decimeter scale, and therefore, very large. The pegmatites also carry significant tantalum (tantalite) and caesium (pollucite). Gallium is present in spodumene and feldspar via substitution with Al.
• The Pontax Property overlies a the Pontax/Chambois Greenstone Belt, extending southwest from the Eastmain River Greenstone Belt.

 

Drill hole Information

• A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes:
  • easting and northing of the drill hole collar
  • elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar
  • dip and azimuth of the hole
  • down hole length and interception depth
  • hole length.

• If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case.

 

• N/A. No drill results reported.

 

Data aggregation methods

• In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated.
• Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail.
• The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated.

 

• N/A. No drill results reported.

 

Relationship between mineralization widths and intercept lengths

• These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results.
• If the geometry of the mineralization with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported.
• If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg 'down hole length, true width not known').

 

• N/A. No drill results reported.

 

Diagrams

• Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported. These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views.

 

• Please refer to the figures included herein as well as those posted on the Company's website.

 

Balanced reporting

• Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results.

 

• Reporting is balanced.

 

Other substantive exploration data

• Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances.

 

• All work discussed below pertains to the Shaakichiuwaanaan Property.
• The Company is currently completing site environmental work over the CV5 and CV13 pegmatite area. No endangered flora or fauna have been documented over the Property to date, and several sites have been identified as potentially suitable for mine infrastructure.
• The Company has completed a bathymetric survey over the shallow glacial lake which overlies a portion of the CV5 Spodumene Pegmatite. The lake depth ranges from <2 m to approximately 18 m, although the majority of the CV5 Spodumene Pegmatite, as delineated to date, is overlain by typically <2 to 10 m of water.
• The Company has completed significant metallurgical testing comprised of HLS and magnetic testing, which has produced 6+% Li₂O spodumene concentrates at >70% recovery on both CV5 and CV13 pegmatite material. A DMS test on CV5 Pegmatite material returned a Subsequent and more expansive DMS pilot programs completed, including with non-pegmatite dilution, produced results in line with prior testwork, confirming a DMS-only flowsheet is applicable. Piloting to date (using both drill core and boulders) has collectively produced over 4.5 tonnes of spodumene concentrate grading over 5.5% Li2O.
• The Company has also produced a marketable lithium hydroxide concentrate from CV5's spodumene concentrate.
• The Company has produced marketable tantalite concentrates at bench-scale from the CV5 Pegmatite's DMS (spodumene) tailings fractions. The testwork used gravity or gravity + flotation methods to produce tantalite concentrates grading 8.7% Ta₂O₅ at 45% global recovery (MC001) and 6.6% Ta₂O₅ at 49% global recovery (MC002).
• The Company has produced marketable pollucite concentrates at bench-scale from the CV13 Pegmatite's Vega Caesium Zone. The testwork used XRT ore sorting to produce concentrates of 11.5% Cs₂O and 20.0% Cs₂O at an overall 88% recovery.
• Various mandates required for advancing the Project have been completed or are ongoing, including but not limited to, environmental baseline, metallurgy, geomechanics, hydrogeology, hydrology, stakeholder engagement, geochemical characterization, as well as transportation and logistical studies. A Feasibility Study for lithium-only on the CV5 Pegmatite was announced October 20, 2025.

 

Further work

• The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).
• Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive.

 

• The Company intends to continue drilling the pegmatites of the Shaakichiuwaanaan Property, primarily targetting lithium, caesium, and tantalum as the primary commodities of interest. This is anticipated to includes step-out and infill drilling.
• Further drilling is anticipated to support the development of the CV5 and CV13 pegmatites (i.e., resource, geotechnical, geomechanical, and hydrogeological).
• Metallurgical test programs evaluating the recovery of lithium, caesium, and tantalum are ongoing.
• Surface prospecting, rock sampling, and mapping is planned to continue across the Company's portfolio of properties focused on LCT pegmatite.
