Tartisan Nickel Corp. (CSE: TN,OTC:TTSRF) (OTCQX: TTSRF) (FSE: 8TA) (‘Tartisan’, or the ‘Company’) is pleased to provide an update on the Phase 1 diamond drill program at the Company’s Kenbridge Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project, Sioux Narrows, Northwestern Ontario. The Phase 1 drill program was designed to test the on strike and down dip potential for additional nickel sulphide mineralization to enhance the size and grade of the Kenbridge Deposit.

A total of 3,191m of drilling has been completed to date. The first 4 drill targets have been completed (drill holes KB26-207, KB26-208, KB26-209 and KB26-210 outlined on Figure 1). Samples were delivered to AGAT Labs in Thunder Bay for analysis.

Reported in this release are the results from the 4th hole KB26-210. Results from the hole confirm both A and B zones were intersected as outlined in the Table 1 below. Zone A was intersected from 762.4 to 787.0m drill depth and returned 0.71% Ni, 0.56% Cu over 24.6 metres including 6.1m of 1.17% Ni, 1.45% Cu from 762.4 to 768.5m drill depth and 2.0 m of 1.73% Ni, 0.31% Cu from 774.5 to 776.5m drill depth. Zone B was intersected from 800.2m to 806.0m drill depth. Results were 0.27% Ni, 0.24% Cu over 5.8 metres. Drill core intersection widths are estimated to be between 65 and 80% true width.

Mark Appleby, CEO of Tartisan Nickel Corp., stated, ‘The KB26-210-hole result represents a significant high-grade intercept. We are very encouraged to see the wider intersection as the deposit appears to now flare outwards at depth. Intersecting 24.6 metres of 0.71% Ni and 0.56% Cu including higher grade portions (1.17% Ni, 1.45% Cu over 6.1m and 1.73% Ni, 0.31% Cu over 2.0m) confirms continuity of significant nickel-copper mineralization in this system. These results will strengthen our ability and confidence in upgrading our resource and in the project’s overall potential. While we have now taken a brief pause for spring break up, the company will introduce Borehole EM down the drill holes completed in Phase 1 and commence Phase 2 drilling this spring. We look forward to drilling below the existing shaft bottom to test for the depth extension to the deposit shortly.’

Qualified Person

The technical information in this news release has been prepared in accordance with Canadian regulatory requirements as set out in NI 43-101 and reviewed and approved by Dean MacEachern, P. Geo., an Independent Consultant to the Company and a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101.

QA/QC

Sample QA/QC procedures for Tartisan have been designed to meet or exceed industry standards. Drill core is collected from the diamond drill and placed in sealed core trays for transport to on-site sampling and core cutting facilities. The core is logged and samples taken from 0.3m to a maximum sample length of 1.5m. The core samples are split with a diamond blade saw with continuous running water, half of the sample is sent for lab testing, and the remaining half core is left in the core box for record or further sampling. The core samples are bagged in heavy plastic bags with 6 samples being placed into a rice bag for transport to AGAT Laboratories in Thunder Bay, ON or Calgary, AB for assay. Samples are submitted in batches of 50. 100g blind certified reference materials (CRMs) from CDN Resources, as well as, duplicates and blank samples are systematically inserted by the Company into the sample stream with reference to the mineralization in the sampled rock and analyzed as part of the Company’s quality assurance/quality control protocol, as well, AGAT labs implements their own quality control testing by inserting their own CRMs and Blanks in the sample stream for accredited testing.

All drill core samples were prepped and analyzed at AGAT Laboratories in Thunder Bay, Ontario or shipped to Calgary for testing. An ISO/IEC 17025 2017 certified independent laboratory from organizations like the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), the Canadian Association for Laboratory Accreditation (CALA), ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) and the American Association of Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA). They maintain accreditations across their facilities in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Quebec and internationally.

NQ-diameter sawed half-core samples from the drilling program were securely sent by Tartisan Nickel Corp’s geologists to AGAT Laboratories Ltd. (AGAT), with sample preparation in Thunder Bay, Ontario, and analysis in Thunder Bay, Ontario & Calgary, Alberta. Samples were processed for Au, Pt and Pd analysis by 50-gram fire assay with ICP-OES finish and for four acid digestion, multi-element analysis by inductively coupled plasma & mass spectrometry (ICP OES + MS). AGAT sample preparation and laboratory analysis procedures conform to requirements of ISO/IEC Standard 17025 guidelines and meet the requirements under NI 43-101 and CIM best practice guidelines. AGAT Laboratories is independent of Tartisan Nickel Corp.

Samples were dried and crushed to 2 mm, from which a 250 g sub-sample split was then pulverized to 85% passing a 75 micron sieve. Following preparation, assays were determined by the ICP OES method. A 0.25 g aliquot of the prepared pulp was digested in a 4-acid solution consisting of hydrochloric, nitric, perchloric and hydrofluoric acids. 4-acid is a near total digest and only the most highly resistant minerals are not dissolved. The resulting solution was analyzed via ICP-MS and ICP-ES for 8 elements and was corrected for inter-element spectral interferences. Lower detection limits for this procedure are 0.01 ppm for nickel, 0.01 ppm for copper, 0.01 ppm for cobalt, 0.01 ppm for platinum, 0.01 ppm palladium, 0.01 ppm silver and 0.01 ppm for gold.

Samples with initial results beyond the upper detection limit of the ICP OES method were analyzed by (201-071) 4 acid digest – Metals Package, ICP-OES/ICP-MS finish (CGY). The thresholds are >1% for nickel, copper and cobalt. AGAT Laboratories employs internal quality control standards, duplicates and blank samples at set frequencies. Tartisan Nickel Corp. stores all its drilled core on-site and takes pride in its facilities and strives for excellence in its QA/QC procedures.

Nevgold Corp. (‘NevGold’ or the ‘Company’) (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 ‘Project’, ‘Limo Butte’) 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. 

NevGold CEO, Brandon Bonifacio, comments: ‘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 find near-term production from a number of Critical Minerals, and we have one of those opportunities which we are rapidly advancing. 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 objective of reaching antimony metal production by 2027. We have the opportunity to be one of the near-term solutions to the United States building a fully vertically integrated antimony supply chain‘

Key Highlights

• Drilling will advance the leach pads to a Mineral Resource Estimate (‘MRE’) by the beginning of Q2-2026 building on the Phase 1 sampling completed (see News Release from January 6, 2026):

• • 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
  • Drilling will be completed over the coming weeks
  • Certain areas of the leach pads had Phase I sampling results of 0.74% Sb to 0.81% Sb (See Figure 1)

• • 2025 testwork using acid leaching resulted in antimony recoveries of up to 92%
  • 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
  • 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

• Antimony is one of the highest priority Critical Minerals due to its strategic importance and military applications; Limo Butte is a brownfield mine site located in the State of Nevada with near-surface, high-grade antimony mineralization

• • Historical leach pads provide opportunity for near-term antimony production
  • 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 (‘MRE’) at Resurrection Ridge (including high-grade antimony Bullet Zone discovery made in 2025) and Cadillac Valley
  • 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

• 30 holes completed in the current 2025-2026 drill program with 12 holes pending release 

Limo Butte Planned 2026 Activities / Status Update
NevGold will continue its active exploration program at Limo Butte including:

• Evaluating the historical geological database with focus on gold and antimony (completed);

• Advancing metallurgical testwork (ongoing);

• Continuing to drill test gold-antimony targets (5,000 meters (30 drillholes) completed, a further 20,000 meters is planned in 2026 focused on the Bullet Zone and Armory Fault discoveries);

• Advancing the Crushed and Run of Mine (‘ROM’) leach pads to near-term antimony production (Drilling March-2026, MRE beginning of Q2-2026, ongoing metallurgical testwork);

• Completing initial gold-antimony Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) (in progress).

US Executive Order – Announced March 20, 2025
The Company is pleased to report the sweeping Executive Order to strengthen American mineral production and reduce U.S. reliance on foreign nations for its mineral supply. Antimony (Sb) has been identified as an important ‘Critical Mineral’ in the United States essential for national security, clean energy, and technology applications, yet limited domestic mine supply currently exists.

The Executive Order invokes the use of the Defense Production Act as part of a broad United States (‘US’) Government effort to expand domestic minerals production on national security grounds. As it relates to project permitting, the Order states that it will ‘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.’ Furthermore, the Order includes provisions to accelerate access to private and public capital for domestic projects, including the creation of a ‘dedicated mineral and mineral production fund for domestic investments’ under the Development Finance Corporation (‘DFC’).

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.

Importance of Antimony
Antimony is considered a ‘Critical Mineral’ by the United States based on the U.S. Geological Survey’s 2022 list (U.S.G.S. (2022)). ‘Critical Minerals’ 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.

Globally, approximately 90% of the world’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 (‘DOD’) has designated antimony as a ‘Critical Mineral’ 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.

Perpetua Resources Corp. (‘Perpetua’, NASDAQ:PPTA, TSX:PPTA) has the most advanced domestic gold-antimony project in the United States. Perpetua’s project, known as Stibnite, is located in Idaho approximately 130 km northeast of NevGold’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 (‘DOD’) awards, over $1.8 billion in indicative financing from the Export Import Bank of the United States (‘US EXIM’) (see Perpetua Resources News Release from April 8, 2024) (Perpetua Resources. (2025)), and recent strategic investments of US$180 million from Agnico-Eagle Mines Limited (‘Agnico’) and US$75 million from JPMorganChase’s $1.5 trillion Security and Resiliency Initiative. (see Perpetua Resources News Release from October 27, 2025)

• Most importantly, NSZ is strategically located just 150 metres east of historical ramp. This logistical advantage should enhance the development flexibility and economics of Cadillac Project.

Next Steps

• Further expansion drilling is planned to significantly refine the geological model, verify the mineralization continuity and determine the gold enrichment vectors.
• Additional exploration drilling is required to test several new high-priority regional targets along strike of the Portal Sector and the Cadillac Fault Zone, backed by detailed structural and geological modelling and VRIFY’s artificial intelligence (AI) driven targeting.

‘ 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.‘ – Ronan Deroff, Vice President Exploration of Cartier.

Portal Sector

The Portal Sector is a highly prospective area featuring the new North Simon Zone with indicated resources of 9,600 ounces (0.2 million tonnes at 1.9 g/t Au) and inferred resources of 112,600 ounces (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.

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.

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.

Milestones of 2025-2027 Exploration Program

100,000 m Drilling Program (Q3 2025 to Q2 2027)

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’s recent consolidation of this large land holding offers the unique opportunity in over 90 years for unrestricted exploration.

Environmental Baseline Studies & Economic Evaluation of Chimo mine tailings (Q3 2025 to Q3 2026)

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.

Metallurgical Sampling and Testwork Program (Q4 2025 to Q1 2026)

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.

Preliminary Economic Assessment (2026)

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.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) Program

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’s coreshack facilities located in Val-d’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.

Drill core samples are sent to MSALABS’s analytical laboratory located in Val-d’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.

Alternatively, samples are submitted to Activation Laboratories Ltd. (‘Actlabs’), located in either Val-d’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.

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.

Questcorp Mining Inc. (CSE: QQQ,OTC:QQCMF) (OTCQB: QQCMF) (FSE: D910) (the ‘Company’ or ‘Questcorp’) is pleased to announce the successful completion of 12.8 line kilometres of induced polarization (‘IP’) surveying over the Marisa Zone at its 1,168-hectare North Island Copper Project located near Port Hardy on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

The Company is currently reviewing the newly acquired geophysical data and will release a detailed interpretation once the technical team has completed its evaluation. As part of this process, Peter E. Walcott and Associates Limited will integrate the historical 1992 IP survey data with the new 2026 survey results to generate a comprehensive 3D inversion model of the target area.

The results of this work are expected to assist in defining priority drill targets. Subject to final interpretation and permitting timelines, the Company intends to initiate permitting for a drill program in late H1 or early H2 2026.

Previous exploration at the Marisa Zone identified copper mineralization associated with an IP chargeability anomaly. In 1992, two of five diamond drill holes were completed to test the anomaly intersected copper mineralization, including:

• 0.078% copper over 56.39 metres (DDH92-01)
• 0.041% copper over 70.71 metres (DDH92-03)

Both intercepts were encountered within altered quartz diorite, with copper grades increasing with depth in DDH92-03.
