Zach Parker to Retire; Kathryn JohnBull Appointed CEO; Steve Oroho Appointed CFO

ATLANTA, June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — DLH Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: DLHC) (“DLH” or the “Company”), a leading provider of digital transformation and cybersecurity, systems engineering and integration, and science research and development solutions to federal agencies, today announced the following leadership changes:

  • Zach Parker will retire from the role of Chief Executive Officer
  • The Board has appointed Kathryn JohnBull as CEO
  • The Board has appointed Steve Oroho as Chief Financial Officer

Zach Parker

Zach Parker will retire as DLH’s Chief Executive Officer and President effective at the close of business on June 30, 2026. To support a smooth leadership transition, Mr. Parker will remain with the Company as an advisor to the Board and incoming CEO through the end of the current fiscal year. He will continue to serve as a member of the Board and beginning in fiscal 2027 will serve as a consultant to the Company in support of certain strategic growth pursuits.

“Sixteen years ago, Zach Parker became the CEO of a $35 million revenue company that was insignificant to the Government Services industry,” said Chairman of the Board Rick Wasserman. “He built a team, and together, they built that organization into the DLH of today. His accomplishments have been exemplary in shaping the Company’s success and creating significant value for our shareholders and career opportunities for our employees. We are grateful for his leadership and pleased that the Company will continue to benefit from his deep industry knowledge, strategic perspective, and longstanding relationships through his continued service on the Board. We are also appreciative that the team he built is uniquely qualified and well positioned to lead us into the future. We wish Zach a long and enjoyable retirement and much happiness in the future.”

“I am proud of what our team has accomplished and excited about DLH’s future,” said Mr. Parker. “After 16 years as CEO, I believe this planned transition represents the right next step for the Company and for me personally. Kathryn has been a close partner, and I have great confidence in her ability to lead the Company through its next chapter. I look forward to supporting Kathryn, the leadership team, and the Board as we continue working to create sustainable long-term value for our shareholders.”

Kathryn JohnBull

Kathryn JohnBull has been appointed as DLH’s Chief Executive Officer and President upon Mr. Parker’s retirement. Ms. JohnBull brings deep public-company leadership experience, financial discipline, and a thorough understanding of the government services market to her new role. She joined DLH as Chief Financial Officer in 2012, and has been central to the Company’s growth, acquisition strategy, capital markets activities, financial operations, and investor engagement.

“Kathryn is exceptionally well prepared to lead DLH at this important moment in the Company’s evolution,” Mr. Wasserman continued. “During her 14 years with us, she has demonstrated a strong combination of leadership skills, financial acumen, operating discipline, customer understanding, and public-company experience. This promotion is well earned, and the Board is confident that Kathryn and her leadership team are well positioned to advance the Company’s strategy and compete for new business opportunities, which create value for our shareholders.”

“I am honored to lead DLH as we enter the next stage of our corporate journey,” said Ms. JohnBull. “Our company has been built by talented people, highly valued customer relationships, and an unwavering commitment to supporting critical government missions. As we look ahead, our focus will be clear: executing with discipline and excellence, delivering exceptional value for our customers, and investing in and empowering our employees. By embracing innovation and strengthening the capabilities that differentiate DLH, we will continue building a company where our employees will grow, our customers will be well served, and our business will thrive.”

Steve Oroho

Steve Oroho has been appointed as DLH’s Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer upon Ms. JohnBull’s appointment as CEO. Mr. Oroho joined DLH in 2018 and has served as Senior Vice President, Finance & Accounting. In that role, he has played an important part in the Company’s financial reporting, strategic planning, accounting, treasury, and business operations support. As Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Oroho will lead DLH’s finance organization, including accounting, financial planning and analysis, treasury, tax, investor relations, and related financial operations.

“Steve has been an important member of DLH’s finance leadership team and brings deep knowledge of the Company’s operations, financial systems, and strategic priorities,” said Ms. JohnBull. “His experience, judgment, and commitment to disciplined execution will serve DLH well as we continue to advance our strategic and financial objectives.”

— Complete Response Letter relates to deficiencies previously identified at third-party manufacturing vendor —

— FDA inspection of third-party facility did not occur during the NDA resubmission review —

— Labeling discussions currently underway; latest communication received by the Company from FDA on June 29 regarding carton and container label —

— FDA did not raise concerns regarding the clinical efficacy or safety data of OLC, and no additional data was requested —

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Unicycive Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: UNCY), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing therapies for patients with kidney disease, today announced that it has received a Complete Response Letter (CRL) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding the resubmitted New Drug Application (NDA) for oxylanthanum carbonate (OLC) for the treatment of hyperphosphatemia in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on dialysis. The FDA has not raised any concerns regarding clinical efficacy or safety data, and no additional data was requested from Unicycive.

The CRL is based on the same third-party manufacturing deficiencies that were identified in the previous CRL issued in June 2025. Unicycive understands that the FDA has not yet conducted its inspection of that third-party manufacturing vendor as part of the review process of the resubmitted NDA. The NDA for OLC had been resubmitted based on Unicycive’s belief of continued progress by the original third-party manufacturing vendor in resolving FDA-cited deficiencies and demonstrating inspection readiness. Unicycive previously discussed these milestones during a Type A meeting with the FDA in September 2025, which was held to obtain feedback and alignment on resolving the deficiencies identified in the Company’s CRL related to the compliance status of the vendor. The FDA did not express any concerns about the third-party manufacturer’s progress and no additional issues were raised by the FDA at the Type A meeting.

“We remain confident in the efficacy and safety of OLC,” said Shalabh Gupta, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Unicycive. “We are in active and ongoing discussion with the FDA regarding label and packaging, and we are optimistic that there will be a successful inspection of the third-party manufacturing vendor and that we will be able to expeditiously resubmit the NDA.”

The OLC NDA is supported by data from three clinical studies: a Phase 1 study in healthy volunteers, a bioequivalence study in healthy volunteers, and a tolerability study of OLC in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients on dialysis, multiple preclinical studies, as well as chemistry, manufacturing and controls (CMC) data.

About Oxylanthanum Carbonate
OLC is an investigational oral phosphate binder that leverages proprietary nanoparticle technology to deliver high phosphate binding potency, reducing the number and size of pills that patients must take to treat hyperphosphatemia in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on dialysis. Its potential best-in-class profile may have meaningful patient adherence benefits over currently available treatment options as it requires a lower pill burden.
Unicycive is seeking FDA approval of OLC via the 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway. OLC is protected by a strong global patent portfolio including issued patents on composition of matter with exclusivity until 2031, and with the potential for patent term extension until 2035.

About Hyperphosphatemia
Hyperphosphatemia is a serious medical condition that occurs in nearly all patients with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). Annually there are over 450,000 individuals in the U.S. that require medication to control their phosphate levels.1 Uncontrolled hyperphosphatemia is strongly associated with increased death and hospitalization for CKD patients on dialysis. Treatment of hyperphosphatemia is aimed at lowering serum phosphate levels via two means: (1) restricting dietary phosphorus intake; and (2) using, on a daily basis, and with each meal, oral phosphate binding drugs that facilitate fecal elimination of dietary phosphate rather than its absorption from the gastrointestinal tract into the bloodstream.

About Unicycive Therapeutics
Unicycive Therapeutics is a biotechnology company developing novel treatments for kidney diseases. Unicycive’s lead investigational treatment is oxylanthanum carbonate, a novel phosphate binding agent for the treatment of hyperphosphatemia in patients with chronic kidney disease who are on dialysis. Unicycive’s second investigational treatment UNI-494 is intended for the treatment of conditions related to acute kidney injury. It has been granted orphan drug designation (ODD) by the FDA for the prevention of Delayed Graft Function (DGF) in kidney transplant patients and has completed a Phase 1 dose-ranging safety study in healthy volunteers.

Release – NeuroSense Achieves Primary Endpoint in Phase 2b ALS Study with Statistically Significant Reduction of TDP-43, the Defining Pathological Hallmark of ALS

Posted on by [email protected]

Research News and Market Data on NRSN

  • First randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to demonstrate treatment-associated reduction of TDP-43 in people living with ALS
  • TDP-43 pathology is present in more than 97% of ALS cases and is widely recognized as a central driver of disease progression
  • PrimeC demonstrates target engagement with consistent effects across clinical outcomes, survival, and biomarkers, supporting its potential as a disease-modifying therapy

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — NeuroSense Therapeutics Ltd. (NASDAQ: NRSN) (“NeuroSense”), a late-stage clinical biotechnology company focused on developing disease-modifying treatments for neurodegenerative diseases, today announced that its Phase 2b PARADIGM study of PrimeC in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has successfully met its primary efficacy endpoint, demonstrating a statistically significant reduction in TDP-43 levels compared to placebo. This is the first randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study to demonstrate a treatment-associated reduction in TDP-43 in people living with ALS. The analysis was performed using the NeuroDex ExoSORT procedure, an immunoaffinity-based methodology that selectively isolates neuron-derived extracellular vesicles (NDEs). This approach enables measurement of neuron-derived TDP-43, providing a CNS-relevant signal that can be distinguished from TDP-43 released by non-neuronal cells and peripheral tissues.

TDP-43 is the defining pathological hallmark of ALS, present in more than 97% of cases, and is widely recognized as a central driver of disease progression. The observed reduction in TDP-43 provides biological evidence that PrimeC is engaging a core disease mechanism.

Primary Efficacy Endpoint Achieved with Statistical Significance

The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2b PARADIGM study evaluated the safety, tolerability, biomarkers and efficacy of PrimeC in people with ALS. At Day 180, the pre-specified primary endpoint timepoint, PrimeC produced a statistically significant reduction in TDP-43 versus placebo (p=0.0421). The effect was sustained and deepened over the full 18 months of the study, with continuously treated PrimeC participants maintaining lower TDP-43 levels than the placebo arm at Day 540 (p<0.001).

These findings build upon previously reported clinical outcomes from the PARADIGM study, including:

  • Statistically significant slowing of ALSFRS-R decline at 12 and 18 months (36.5%, p=0.008; 32.8%, p=0.007)
  • Statistically significant ~15-month median survival benefit (HR 0.35, p=0.004)
  • Consistent modulation of TDP-43, iron-regulatory and ALS-associated microRNA, supporting multi-target engagement
  • Favorable safety and tolerability profile with no new safety signals observed over up to 18 months of treatment

“Achieving the primary endpoint of PARADIGM with a statistically significant reduction in TDP-43 marks a defining moment for NeuroSense and for ALS research,” said Alon Ben-Noon, Chief Executive Officer of NeuroSense. “For decades, TDP-43 has been recognized as the pathological signature of ALS, yet demonstrating a treatment-associated reduction in people with ALS has remained elusive. Combined with the clinically meaningful slowing of disease progression, significant survival benefit, and consistent biomarker findings previously reported from PARADIGM, these results provide a compelling and highly differentiated body of evidence supporting PrimeC’s potential as a disease-modifying therapy. We believe this growing dataset further validates our scientific approach and positions PrimeC as one of the most comprehensively supported therapeutic candidates in ALS today.”

“One of the central questions in ALS drug development is whether a therapy is truly affecting the underlying biology of the disease,” said Prof. Merit Cudkowicz, MD, MSc, Director of the Sean M. Healey & AMG Center for ALS at Massachusetts General Hospital, and Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School. “The TDP-43 findings reported in PARADIGM are particularly important because they suggest target engagement of a pathological process present in the majority of people with ALS. When viewed together with the previously reported safety, biomarker and clinical outcome data, and the high unmet need, these results provide compelling data supporting advancement into a confirmatory Phase 3 clinical trial.”

“It is remarkable to see that the increase in NDE-associated TDP-43 observed in the placebo group follows the same trajectory as that identified in our longitudinal studies. This effect, together with the positive outcome of PARADIGM, highlights the promise of TDP-43 as a biomarker for monitoring treatment response,” said Dr. Erez Eitan, CEO of NeuroDex.

Having secured FDA clearance to initiate its global Phase 3 (PARAGON) study, NeuroSense is advancing trial preparations while progressing regulatory interactions across multiple jurisdictions, including Canada.

About NeuroSense

NeuroSense Therapeutics is a late-clinical stage biotechnology company developing novel treatments for severe neurodegenerative diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Alzheimer’s disease. The Company’s lead product candidate, PrimeC, is a novel oral therapy designed to target multiple key biological pathways underlying disease progression, including neuroinflammation, oxidative stress and dysregulated iron metabolism.

NeuroSense has generated compelling clinical data from its Phase 2b PARADIGM study in ALS, demonstrating meaningful slowing of disease progression. The Company also reported significant biological activity across multiple biomarkers associated with ALS, including microRNAs, supporting PrimeC’s multi-target mechanism of action. Notably, long-term follow-up data indicated a meaningful survival benefit, representing a potentially important advancement in the treatment of ALS.

NeuroSense has received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to initiate a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial (PARAGON) in ALS, which is expected to enroll approximately 300 participants, primarily in the United States.

About PrimeC

PrimeC, NeuroSense’s lead drug candidate, is a novel extended-release oral formulation composed of a unique fixed-dose combination of two FDA-approved drugs: ciprofloxacin and celecoxib. PrimeC is designed to synergistically target several key mechanisms of ALS and AD, that contribute to neuron degeneration, inflammation, iron accumulation and impaired ribonucleic acid (“RNA”) regulation to potentially inhibit the progression of ALS and AD.

About ALS

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”) is an incurable neurodegenerative disease that causes complete paralysis and death within 2-5 years from diagnosis. Every year, more than 5,000 people are diagnosed with ALS in the U.S. alone, with an annual disease burden of $1 billion. The number of people living with ALS is expected to grow by 24% by 2040 in the U.S. and EU.

About ExoSORT and Neuron-derived EV

ExoSORT™ is NeuroDex’s proprietary automated platform for the enrichment of neuron-derived extracellular vesicles (NDEs) from blood samples. Utilizing a combination of highly specific neuronal antibodies and a scalable 96-well workflow, ExoSORT™ selectively isolates extracellular vesicles originating from the brain, increasing the neuronal signal by more than 50-fold compared to conventional plasma analyses.

By enriching for brain-derived vesicles, ExoSORT™ enables detection of disease-associated proteins present in multiple tissues, like TDP-43.

Release – Alliance Authentic Expands Its Preservation Platform Across Collecting, From Vinyl to Funko to Handmade by Robots

Posted on by [email protected]

Research News and Market Data in AENT

Forbes called Alliance Authentic “a one-of-a-kind platform” for “a new generation of record buyers”

Newly preserved vinyl from Olivia Rodrigo, Harry Styles, Zara Larsson, Charli xcx, Karol G, Hayley Williams, and Angine de Poitrine

Launching newly preserved figures from Funko and Handmade by Robots

PLANTATION, Fla., June 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Alliance Authentic, part of Alliance Entertainment (Nasdaq: AENT), the largest distributor of physical media in the U.S., today expanded its preservation platform beyond vinyl for the first time, launching preserved Funko and Handmade by Robots collectibles. Alliance Authentic is the only platform that preserves the records and collectibles fans care about most and carries each one’s verified identity to every owner who comes next. The company is creating a new category: permanently preserved collectibles. The expansion arrives on a rebuilt Alliance Authentic platform, redesigned around how collectors discover, preserve, and pass on what they own.

Every preserved Alliance Authentic release meets five standards: curated, numbered, limited, certified uncirculated, and NFC-secured. Each collectible is encapsulated in its original, uncirculated condition, individually numbered, and given an NFC-secured identity that travels to whoever owns it next. For vinyl, each preserved run is fixed and final, never added to. When a preserved collectible changes hands, its verified identity, condition, and full history travel with it. Every owner inherits the proof, not just the object. See how preservation works: https://www.allianceauthentic.com/how-preservation-works

“Every collector has a record that means everything to them,” said Jeffrey Smith, SVP of Sales and Marketing at Alliance Authentic. “And it’s not a generational thing, across ages, across collectors, that feeling is the same. We built a preservation system for exactly that, to keep a record in the moment it’s verified, certified, uncirculated, and treat it as the work of art it already is. There’s nothing cooler than an encapsulated Japanese import of Star Wars: A New Hope with the obi strip. And a Handmade by Robots figure or a Funko is just as cool to a different kind of collector. Opening this preservation system up to all of it, that’s what I’m excited about. A fan is a fan of what they love, and we’re here to protect it.”

Release – NN, Inc. Announces Significant New Awards for its NVIDIA Data Center Liquid Cooled Products Business

Posted on by [email protected]

PDF Version

CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NN, Inc. (“NN” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: NNBR), a global diversified industrial company that engineers and manufactures high-precision components and assemblies with six sigma quality, today provided an update on its rapidly growing Data Center business. NN’s combined Data Center and Electric Grid business is already its 2nd largest business, with a further goal to grow the business into the Company’s largest business by sales. The Data Center & Electric Grid end markets are top targeted growth markets for the Company along with Medical products and Defense and Electronics products.

NN has secured a significant amount of additional 2026 immediate-supply awards for liquid cooling products that go into NVIDIA AI data center racks. The new awards in this announcement are additive to prior communicated awards and greatly increase the size of NN’s liquid cooling product portfolio for AI data center racks.

NN is on its way to having 52 dedicated machines to make liquid cooled products for its data center business. 50 machines will be dedicated production lines and an additional 2 machines will be dedicated to making samples for new business. NN has already pre-sold 100% of the production capacity. NN is continuing to prospect globally and is using its global business development team and global machining footprint to prospect for additional business in this fast-growing area. In 2026, NN has attended Data Center tradeshows in the United States, Europe, and China.

Harold Bevis, President and Chief Executive Officer of NN, Inc. commented, “The liquid-cooled AI data center market is one of our targeted end markets for growth. We announced the successful launch of a new product line in Q1 2026. It is a custom-designed, stainless-steel product line for the liquid-cooled data center market. Since then, we have secured multiple AI data center awards, have invested in an initial complement of 17 next-generation, high-speed, high-precision CNC machines at our Wuxi, China plant, and began production. We have a big set of data center products already but we are just beginning. We make products that go into both the electrical system and cooling system for Data Centers and produce these products in multiple plant locations.

Today, we are pleased to announce that we have tripled the size of the liquid cooling product line that just launched in Q1 2026. Specifically, we have secured another set of multi-year, multi-product awards for stainless-steel cooling products for the NVIDIA supply chain. NN is now underway with procuring an additional 30 new machine centers on top of the 17 new CNC machine centers we previously announced. Additionally, we have successfully repurposed and retooled 5 automotive CNC production centers to become dedicated data center production. We have a strategic goal to rotate out of commodity auto products and this accelerates the achievement of that objective.”

Bevis continued, “We are building a meaningful position in the global supply chain for liquid cooled AI systems. The Wuxi plant had approximately 200 CNC machine centers before successfully entering the data center business. These additional 47 machine centers bring the total in that plant to approximately 250 CNC machine centers when this expansion is complete. We have large aspirations with our global footprint, and the industry needs NN to scale up and supply more. The AI data center liquid cooling industry is scaling very rapidly, and we are participating in the global data center buildout. This is a natural product fit as we are experienced veterans in pressurized fluid management, stainless steel part production, exceptional repetitive quality levels at high volumes, electropolishing, abrasive flow machining, debris-free and leak-free products, and fast innovation.

We have a dedicated company effort to grow Data Center products, and we are happy to have secured our next set of new awards. This expansion and ramp up is underway now during Q2 2026 and will be additive to our 2026 sales. Based on equipment lead times, the 47th new machine will be installed in November 2026. We are underway prospecting for additional awards and developing new products. As mentioned, the 47 new machines in this announcement will go into NN’s Wuxi, China plant and it will be supplying parts into NVIDIA’s Asia supply chain in China, Taiwan, and Vietnam. NN’s Wuxi China plant is a global low-cost plant that is well known in the metal part making industry. It is in an ideal location for supplying the metal parts that go into the global supply chain for AI data center racks. We believe these data center racks which are being produced in Asia are coming back to the US and being installed in data centers being built in the United States AI market.”

Bevis concluded, “As next generation supply chain decisions are being made in the data center industry, NN intends to use its global footprint of machining plants to participate further. This is a multi-billion market that is scaling up right now, and these computing racks are the hardware behind the expanding use of AI and cloud computing. These new awards fit within NN’s previously issued new wins guidance for achieving $80 to $90 million of accretive new business during 2026. We will combine this new information along with other information and adjust 2026 and 2027 sales and EBITDA guidance, if needed, during NN’s next business and guidance update when we release Q2 earnings in early August. We look forward to discussing this big advancement during that time.”

About NN’s Fluid Management Products

NN is a leader in precision fluid management products for over 40 years. The Company makes precision metal fluid management components including valve body, socket body, valve seat, sealing seat, needle, plunger, plug base, socket base, guides, and threaded connector parts. Given its long-term expertise, NN can make these products in a variety of manners across high-mix, medium-speed single spindle machines as well as high-volume, high-speed production with multi-spindle machines and rotary transfer systems. It makes these products in-house in its plants in China, Europe, South America, and North America. NN makes these products today and has for decades under multi-year contracts for many of the top OEMs in the world. The goal is leak-free, debris-free products that never fail during the life of the equipment.

NN’s existing liquid management products precisely fit the requirements of data center applications, and the demanding performance and quality requirements of AI data center and cloud customers are a direct use of the Company’s existing capabilities. Furthermore, next generation computing designs require even higher power use and even higher heat generation, which will lead to next-generation liquid-cooled computing systems and components. The Company can already make products that are advanced beyond today’s requirements. NN has delivered six sigma quality, micron-level tolerance parts for combustion engines for decades. The Company’s decades of global experience and footprint are directly applicable to this new area.

About NN

NN, Inc., a global diversified industrial company, combines advanced engineering and production capabilities with in-depth materials science expertise to design and manufacture high-precision components and assemblies for a variety of markets on a global basis.

Release – Nicola Mining Provides Update On Exploration Activities And Successfully Confirms New Poprphy Target At Its New Craigmont Copper Project

Posted on by [email protected]

Research News and Market Data on NICM

April 28, 2026

VANCOUVER, BC, April 28, 2026 – Nicola Mining Inc. (NASDAQ: NICM) (TSXV: NIM) (FSE: HLIA) (the “Company” or “Nicola“) is pleased to announce commencement of the 2026 Exploration Diamond Drilling Program (the “2026 Program“) at its New Craigmont Copper Project (“New Craigmont”), near Merritt, BC.

Exploration Target

In 2022, Nicola Mining Inc. completed a property-wide Z-axis Tipper Electromagnetic (ZTEM) survey conducted by Geotech Ltd. Interpretation of the dataset identified a prominent resistivity anomaly located immediately north of the historical Craigmont open pit (Figure 1). Subsequent drilling completed in 2023 (holes NC23-005 and NC23-006), positioned to the south of this anomaly, intersected encouraging porphyry-style alteration assemblages, supporting the potential for a larger mineralized system at depth. Nicola has designated this geophysical feature as the “Jotun” target (pronounced Yoten).

The Company considers the Jotun target to be a compelling exploration opportunity that may represent the causative intrusive source responsible for the high-grade copper skarn historically mined at Craigmont. Nicola’s 2026 plans include drilling an exploration hole to directly test the ZTEM anomaly and evaluate its potential as a core of a porphyry-skarn system; however, it should be noted that New Craigmont has the potential of hosting multiple porphyries, as highlighted by the adjacent Highland Valley Copper.

Figure 1. Location Map of the Planned Drill Hole and Geological Setting

Diamond Drilling Plans

Exploration plans for the 2026 Program include diamond drilling at the Jotun target area, a previously untested zone within the New Craigmont Project. The Company will be working with Dorado Drilling Ltd. to execute the program.

The planned drill hole is designed to test the interpreted ZTEM resistivity anomaly at depth, with the target zone expected to be intersected at approximately 775 metres downhole, based on the current geological model and assuming a drill orientation of approximately 80 degrees dip and the planned azimuth. This hole is intended to evaluate the potential presence of a causative intrusive body associated with the historical Craigmont copper skarn system.

Drilling at the Jotun target will open a new exploration area at New Craigmont and is expected to provide valuable geological information to support ongoing target development, including improved understanding of alteration assemblages, structural controls, lithological contacts, and mineralization, which are critical components in advancing exploration of a potential porphyry copper system at New Craigmont.

The estimated budget for the 2026 Program is $1.5M, which includes a geophysical survey and a soil sampling campaign. Nicola anticipates drilling to conclude in early June before commencing another diamond drilling program at its Treasure Mountain silver project.

Soil sampling will be conducted in the northwestern portion of the property to support target generation in underexplored areas. In addition, the Company plans to complete a comprehensive Mobile Magnetotelluric (Mobile MT) survey to further refine deep geophysical targets across the property. Details of these programs will be shared as the field season advances.

The Company also expects to have its thermal vectoring dataset fully processed during the season, which will support further interpretation of hydrothermal alteration patterns and help guide decisions on whether to continue expanding this work with additional data collection in the following year.

The Company expects to provide additional updates on exploration activities and results as the field season progresses.
