This release corrects and replaces the press release issued by Aurania Resources Ltd. on April 28, 2026 – 7:25AM EDT, correcting the anniversary timelines of exploration expenditures under the heading Summary of Terms under the Agreement.

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – April 28, 2026) – Aurania Resources Ltd. (TSXV: ARU) (OTCQB: AUIAF) (FSE: 20Q) (“Aurania” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive option agreement (the “Agreement”) dated April 27, 2026 (the “Execution Date”) with St-Georges Eco-Mining Corp (CSE: SX) (“St-Georges“), a Canadian incorporated mineral exploration company and its wholly owned subsidiary Iceland Resources ehf (“IR”), an Icelandic incorporated precious metals exploration company to work collaboratively to define and execute a phased exploration program aimed at advancing the Thormodsdalur gold project (“Thor’s Valley” or the “Project”), towards initial modern resource definition. The Thor’s Valley project is held by IR and is located approximately 20 kilometres east of Reykjavík, the capital of Iceland.

Aurania’s President and CEO, Dr. Keith Barron commented, “After visiting the project area and personally reviewing the archived drill core, the Thor’s Valley project represents a compelling opportunity with strong exploration upside. By formalizing our collaboration with St-Georges, we are positioning ourselves to unlock the potential of an under-explored geological district. Thor’s Valley displays all the key signatures of a robust epithermal gold system, supported by a history of documented high-grade mineralization and a suite of compelling structural targets that remain largely untested by modern exploration methods. This Agreement allows Aurania to deploy its technical expertise toward a highly prospective gold project. We look forward to progressing this Project with discipline, technical rigour, and a strong commitment to unlocking its full potential.”

Comment from Thordis Bjork Sigurbjornsdottir, CEO of Iceland Resources: “This is an important partnership for Iceland Resources, and we are pleased to welcome Aurania Resources Ltd. as a partner on the Thormodsdalur project. Over the past several years, we have engaged in discussions with several groups with the objective of identifying a partner with the right technical experience and approach for this type of epithermal gold system. We believe Aurania brings that combination, supported by relevant experience in advancing high-grade epithermal discoveries. We look forward to working together to advance Thormodsdalur in a disciplined and value-focused manner.”

Summary of Terms under the Agreement

  • Initial payment of US$150,000 in common shares of Aurania (the “Shares”) to be issued to St. Georges on the closing date of the Agreement at a deemed price per Share equal to the volume weighted average price of the Shares on each business day commencing on the Execution Date and ending on the last business day prior to the closing date of the Agreement.

Thor’s Valley is a historically known gold-bearing, low-sulphidation epithermal system that was initially discovered in 1903 when two Icelandic farm boys picked up pieces of white quartz from a stream, which proved to be gold-bearing. A number of ventures were organized from 1911 to 1924 using German or British capital. Two shafts were sunk and approximately 400 metres of lateral workings performed. As a result of this, the productive vein was estimated to be 1 metre wide and at least 1 kilometre long. Reported grades were 11 g/t to 315 g/t gold[1]. The ore was “direct shipping” and initially sent to Norway and later to Germany for treatment. There are no historic tailings on site. Perhaps significantly, the historical record indicates that the last operator, Arcturus, a German company, failed due to the Weimar hyperinflation rather than ore depletion.

In the 1990’s, several programmes of geochemical and petrographical studies were done, including a vertical geothermal well to a depth of 455 metres which encountered multiple mineralized quartz veins, including one at the bottom of the hole. In 1997, a total of 1069.21metres were diamond drilled in nine holes, however, average core recovery was only 52%. The intervals sampled graded 1.13 g/t to 46.10 g/t Au but this is not considered representative and true widths could not be calculated.

Between 2005 and 2006, the private exploration company Melmi ehf drilled 32 holes totaling 2431m, which returned results up to 415.40 g/t Au. Melmi ehf was acquired by Iceland Resources in 2020, which completed 11 additional drill holes totaling 1780m with results of up to 113 g/t Au1.

The Thor Valley mineralization is a classic banded epithermal chalcedony-ginguro vein system with gold occurring both in free form and in association with sulphides. There are obviously a number of different vein sets here that appear controlled by regional and local structures.

The Project consists of a National Exploration Permit covering approximately 51,300 hectares in Iceland.

Thursday, April 23, 2026

Mark Reichman, Managing Director, Equity Research Analyst, Natural Resources, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

Strong operational start in 2026. Kuya Silver’s first-quarter 2026 results represented a clear inflection point in the ramp-up of its Bethania Silver Project, with record production of 3,076 tonnes and throughput of 100 tonnes per day achieved at the end of March and into early April 2026. Increased mining volumes, along with continued underground development, suggest the operation is scaling efficiently with the buildout of infrastructure needed to support future growth.

Meaningful improvement in grades and recovery rates. Higher grades and improved recovery rates supported a revenue profile heavily weighted to silver, while the planned acquisition of the Camila plant is expected to enhance processing control and efficiency. A cash position of approximately $27 million further strengthens the company’s ability to fund ongoing growth initiatives.

Research News and Market Data on PNPNF

TORONTO, April 15, 2026 / PRNewswire / – Power Metallic Mines Inc. (the “Company” or “Power Metallic”) (TSXV: PNPN) (OTCBB: PNPNF) (Frankfurt: IVV1) is pleased to provide a release of assays from its Winter 2026 drill campaign.

Lion MRE In-fill program
Drilling continued to define the high-grade Lion Zone in preparation for a 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE). The majority of infill drill holes in this release are for holes that are mostly defining the eastern side of the Lion zone (Figure 1) for future mineral resource estimates to an Indicated Resource classification. The 2026 winter drill campaign continues to support the modelled interpretation of the Lion Zone based on earlier wider spaced drilling and includes PML-26-050 intersected the Lion Zone and confirmed the eastern edge of the high-grade copper shoot with 4.76m @ 10.43% CuEqRec1 (Table 1).

Hole PML-26-052 tested the eastern edge of the western high-grade shoot 4.35m @ 5.94% CuEqRec1) and confirmed the expected mineralization modeled from the wider spaced earlier drilling in this area.

Figure 1 – Lion Drill holes reported in this news release (CNW Group/Power Metallic Mines Inc.)

Note: Reported length is downhole distance; true width based on model projections is estimated as 85% of downhole length

1Copper Equivalent Rec Calculation (CuEqRec1)
CuEqRec represents CuEq calculated based on the following metal prices (USD) : 2,360.15 $/oz Au, 27.98 $/oz Ag, 1,215.00 $/oz Pd, 1000.00 $/oz Pt, 4.00 $/lb Cu, 10.00 $/lb Ni and 22.50 $/lb Co., and recovered grades based on recent locked-cycle metallurgical recoveries by SGS Canada Inc (see press release Jan 21, 2006).

Current MRE drilling has concentrated on the Lion zone near surface that may be amenable to early open pit extraction in a possible future mining operation. This drilling continues to intersect strong copper sulphide mineralization (Figures 2 and 3).

Exploratory Drilling – East and West of Lion
Drill holes PML-26-056, 058, 059 and 060 were designed to define the eastern edge of the Lion Zone, which is interpreted as possibly being fault controlled. All these holes (Figure 1) encountered low grade mineralization, Cu (up to 0.22%), Au (up to 0.20 g/t Au), Pd (up to 0.60 g/t Pd), and Pt (0.21 g/t Pt) and effectively define the eastern boundary of the Lion Zone.

Holes PML-26-060 and 064 were drilled 400-450 meters west of the Tiger Zone (Figure 1) and failed to intersect any sulphide mineralization or the ultramafic unit that occurs at Lion.

Hole PML-26-066 was designed to test above an interpreted arm of the Tiger Zone. The hole collared in mineralization (0.27% Cu, 0.17 g/t Pd) at the overburden bedrock contact before intersecting 2 wide ultramafic units of the type found at Lion. Between these two units 1.31m @ 32.9 g/t Ag was intersected. It is unknown how this may relate to the Tiger mineralization down dip of this intersection. When ground conditions permit, testing behind the initial Cu, Pb mineralization will be done.

Hole PML-26-062 was drilled 800m to the west of Lion. Although the favourable ultramafic unit was encountered over a wide intersection, no significant mineralization was encountered.

Exploratory Drilling – Elephant Target
Hole PML-25-021 was extended (PML-25-021x) to test a large BHEM anomaly detected in PN-24-064. Hole PML-25-021x failed to explain the BHEM anomaly, and work is continuing to refine this target area for further drilling.

PML-25-021x entered the paragneiss formation that define the footwall of Power Metallic’s Nisk Ni-Cu-Pd deposit to the west of Lion. This formation was intersected more than a kilometer below surface and contained recognizable favourable geological units (Figure 4) that had hosted a high-grade gold intersection in PMX-25-016 (1.5m @ 34.6 g/t). Assay results from PML-25-021x returned 6m @ 0.78 g/t Au, including 1.5m @ 2.56 g/t Au. Although low grade, this intersection establishes a large sized area of gold structure. Associated with wide anomalous Au, As and W, summer surface mapping, prospecting and re-interpretation of geophysics will be done to localize this recognizable unit and determine whether this gold target requires more drill follow-up.

“Lion MRE drilling continues to deliver as or better than expected. The shallow hole success, which we expect assays to confirm what we are seeing in the cores, should be very supportive to the starter open pit. This all will support the upcoming MRE and PEA. On the exploration side the drill bit continues to give us clues and points us to more structures to test. We have 37 holes in for assay and we’re drilling our last few holes of the winter campaign. The team remains very bullish on our discovery process”, commented Terry Lynch, CEO & Director.

April 13, 2026 7:00 AM EDT | Source: Aurania Resources Ltd.

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – April 13, 2026) – Aurania Resources Ltd. (TSXV: ARU) (OTCQB: AUIAF) (FSE: 20Q) (“Aurania” or the “Company”) announces that it has elected to rely on Coordinated Blanket Order 51-933 – Exemptions to Permit Semi-Annual Reporting for Certain Venture Issuers (the “Order“) and move to semi-annual financial reporting (“SAR“).

The Order allows eligible venture issuers listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV“) to voluntarily move from a quarterly to a semi-annual financial reporting framework. The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31. Under the SAR pilot program, the Company will be exempt from filing interim financial reports and related Management’s Discussion & Analysis (MD&A) for its first and third quarters.

  • Interim Period: The Company will not file an interim report for the first quarter (Q1) ending March 31 and the third quarter (Q3) ending September 30; and
  • Ongoing Reporting: The Company will continue to file audited financial statements (due within 120 days of December 31) and six-month interim financial reports (due within 60 days of June 30).

The Company confirms it meets the pilot program’s eligibility criteria, which include being a venture issuer with annual revenues of less than $10 million, having a disclosure record of over 12 months and having filed all required periodic and timely continuous disclosure documents.

The first period for which the Company will not file an interim financial report and related MD&A will be for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026.

This news release is being filed pursuant to Coordinated Blanket Order 51-933 Exemptions to Permit Semi-Annual Reporting for Certain Venture Issuers.

In addition, the Company announces that, further to the Company’s press release dated January 29, 2026, pursuant to which the Company announced a $750,000 loan (the “Loan“) from Dr. Keith Barron, CEO of the Company, the Company and Dr. Barron have agreed to amend the Loan to increase the amount of the Loan to C$1,000,000 to be advanced from time to time in principal amounts as agreed by the parties. All other terms of the Loan, as previously announced, remain the same.

Dr. Keith Barron is a related party of the Company by virtue of the fact that he is the Chairman, the President and Chief Executive Officer, a promoter and a principal shareholder of the Company, and as a result, each advance and repayment under the Loan constitutes a “Related Party Transaction” for the purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101“). The Company is relying upon an exemption from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements under MI 61-101 in respect of the Related Party Transactions, in reliance on Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1) of MI 61-101, respectively, as the fair market value of the Related Party Transaction, collectively, does not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101. The Company did not file a material change report related to the Loan more than 21 days before the expected closing of the Loan as required by MI 61-101, as the Company wished to organize the Loan on an expedited basis for sound business reasons. The amendment to the Loan was approved by the members of the board of directors of the Company who are independent for purposes of the related party transaction, being all directors other than Dr. Barron. No special committee was established in connection with the amendment to the Loan, and no materially contrary view or abstention was expressed or made by any director of the Company in relation thereto.

Release – First Phosphate Completes Infill Drill Program

Posted on by [email protected]

Research News and Market Data on FRSPF

March 31, 2026 7:15 AM EDT | Source: First Phosphate Corp.

Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec–(Newsfile Corp. – March 31, 2026) – First Phosphate Corp. (CSE: PHOS) (OTCQX: FRSPF) (OTCQX ADR: FPHOY) (FSE: KD0) (“First Phosphate” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce the completion of its infill drill program launched on October 21, 2025 at its Bégin-Lamarche property in Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean, Quebec.

The drilling campaign has confirmed extensive, continuous mineralization across the existing horizon of the initial resource estimate. The drill program has also discovered two new phosphate intersects located in the Northern Zone and in the Southern Zone on the eastern side of the existing mineralized zone. An additional 10,000 meters of targeted drilling was added to the initial drill program of 30,000 meters to solidify an understanding of these new intersects as well as to test additional mineralization located at depth in various areas across the Northern and Southern Zones.

The Company is currently processing the full set of drill results from its original and expanded drill campaign which totalled about 40,000 m with the goal of upgrading the geological model for the Bégin-Lamarche property in the coming weeks.

“We were able to discover, drill and create a significant geological model for the Bégin-Lamarche property all within about 3.5 years,” commented Gilles Laverdiere, Chief Geologist of First Phosphate. “Such rapid progression from initial discovery reflects the exceptional continuity of the phosphate mineralization and the efficiency of our exploration approach.”

The Company also announces that Gilles Laverdiere will be retiring as Chief Geologist following 48 years of dedicated service to the mining industry. Existing team member, Steeve Lavoie, PGeo., will assume the role of Chief Geologist. Steeve has over 20 years of experience in the mineral exploration industry, having worked most recently with Agnico Eagle Mines prior to joining First Phosphate in November 2025.

“I’d like to thank Gilles Laverdière for his dedication to First Phosphate and the Bégin-Lamarche project since its early discovery and for building our strong exploration foundation,” says First Phosphate CEO, John Passalacqua. “Most importantly, we would like to thank Gilles for delaying his retirement until he could see through Bégin-Lamarche to its resource definition and geological modelling. Gilles is a man of remarkable dedication and a true role model for the industry.”

The Company also announces today a grant of 300,000 incentive stock options (the “Options”) to Steeve Lavoie in accordance with the terms of the Company’s Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan. Each Option has an exercise price of $0.98 and expires on December 29, 2028 with 25% vesting every 6 months for two years following the date of grant. All securities issued in accordance with the Option grant are subject to a hold period of four months plus one day.

Release – Nicola Mining Announces The Completion Of The Ubc Master’s Thesis Concluding That Craigmont Is Part Of A Porphyry-Linked Skarn System

Posted on by [email protected]

Research News and Market Data on HUSIF

March 19, 2026

News Releases

VANCOUVER, BC, March 19, 2026 – Nicola Mining Inc. (the “Company” or “Nicola”) (TSX: NIM) (OTCQB: HUSIF) (FSE: HLIA) is pleased to announce that Warren Wagner has completed his Master of Science (M.Sc.) thesis, at the university of British Columba’s (UBC) Mineral Deposit Research Unit (MRDU), on the New Craigmont copper project[1]. His thesis is titled The Skarn to Porphyry Transition: Establishing Links Between Skarn and Porphyry-Type Mineralization at New Craigmont British Columbia. The full publication and supplementary data tables are available for download on the UBC website: https://open.library.ubc.ca/soa/cIRcle/collections/ubctheses/24/items/1.0451531

The purpose of the thesis was to examine the potential connection between the historically mined Craigmont skarn and undiscovered porphyry systems in the surrounding area. Using field observations, petrography, whole-rock and mineral chemistry, and integrated geochronology, Warren’s thesis has redefined Craigmont as a porphyry-linked skarn system genetically tied to multi-pulsed Late Triassic magmatism within the Guichon Creek batholith’s Border Phase.

Mineral ages determined through geochronology lab work defined two discrete hydrothermal stages: massive calcsilicate skarn alteration at ~215 Ma related to the earliest Border Phase intrusions and overprinting, vein-hosted porphyry-type mineralization at ~209 Ma associated with later, oxidized intrusions.

Potassic, phyllic, calc-potassic, and propylitic alteration styles indicate the presence of a larger porphyry system proximal to the skarn deposit. Epidote mineral chemistry from propylitic assemblages further supports this. New Craigmont epidote contains elevated porphyry indicator trace elements consistent with other porphyry deposits in British Columbia and worldwide. Finally, epidote mineral chemistry systematics within the Guichon Creek batholith reveal that New Craigmont contains a separate, porphyry centre, unrelated to those of the Highland Valley district. The study also highlights the importance of structural permeability and reactive Nicola Group host rocks in focusing hydrothermal fluids and controlling the distribution of skarn and porphyry-style mineralization.

Conclusions of the study have positive implications for ongoing exploration at New Craigmont. The study confirms Nicola’s ongoing hypothesis that the historical skarn is driven by a nearby porphyry system. Detailed geochemistry work has helped narrow exploration to broadly two regions within the property: West Craigmont (where the Draken target is located), and east of the historical mine (where the Jotun target is located). Nicola is integrating MRDU data into ongoing vectoring work and target generation.

Peter Espig, CEO of Nicola, stated, “We applaud Warren and MRDU on two years of fruitful work at our New Craigmont Copper Project. The thesis’ conclusion aligns with our growing confidence in our three years of geological work, mapping and 2025 porphyry vectoring. Given the size of our land package and location, which includes sharing Guichon Batholith with Highland Valley Copper, the prospect of having one or more porphyries at New Craigmont is increasingly compelling, as highlighted in the thesis. We are very encouraged to commence our 2026 Exploration Program.”

Release – Kuya Silver Expands Fully-Funded 2026 Drill Program at the Bethania Project to a Record 20,000 Metres Focused on Resource Expansion Opportunities

Posted on by [email protected]

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – March 17, 2026) – Kuya Silver Corporation (CSE: KUYA) (OTCQB: KUYAF) (FSE: 6MR1) (the “Company” or “Kuya Silver“) is pleased to announce an expansion of its fully-funded 2026 drill program at the Bethania Silver Project in central Peru designed to unlock value by focusing on delineating mineralized silver vein systems which have been historically underexplored. The program, expected to total approximately 20,000 metres combined underground and surface diamond drilling, would represent the largest drill program ever at the Bethania project.

The surface drill program is planned for approximately 10,000 metres and will focus on priority targets associated with historical artisanal mining areas identified during the Company’s recent regional exploration work, located outside the immediate Bethania mine area (Figure 1 below). These targets represent potential additions to the district-scale mineralized system and may also have potential for future production. Over the coming months Kuya Silver plans to conduct additional work to prioritize targets for the 2026 drill program which may include any of the six previously identified regional silver vein systems (e.g. Carmelitas, Tito PH, Millococha)

The Company also plans to expand on its previously announced underground drilling program to approximately 10,000 metres in 2026 (from 5,000 metres announced previously). Drilling will be conducted from established mine levels and is designed to test extensions of known mineralized structures that remain open along strike and at depth. This approach allows the Company to expand resources adjacent to current mine infrastructure while testing high-priority targets at relatively low cost and improving the geological continuity of the known vein system.

The combined surface and underground programs are expected to improve the geological understanding of the mineralized systems and support the Company’s ongoing efforts to grow resources within the broader Bethania district. Initial results from the underground drilling campaign are expected in Q2 2026 and additional drill results from underground and initial surface drilling results are expected over the second half of 2026.

“Following encouraging surface exploration results across the Bethania property, we are excited to begin the next phase of drilling,” stated Osbaldo Zamora, VP Exploration of Kuya Silver. “By combining surface drilling with underground drilling from existing workings, we are able to efficiently test both district-scale targets and near-mine extensions that could meaningfully expand the project’s resource base.”

David Stein, Kuya Silver’s President and CEO also remarked, “The Company is excited to embark on a much larger drill campaign covering multiple targets across the Bethania district. Given our significant cash position in excess of USD $25 million and expected cash flow from the Bethania mine, this more aggressive exploration strategy should be fully funded from internal sources and can be maintained and expanded over the coming years as we grow our silver mining operations.”

Regional (Bethania District) Target Summary

Surface drilling is expected to commence in the coming months following final permitting and logistical preparations. Over the past five plus years, Kuya Silver has consolidated in excess of 4,500 ha surrounding the Bethania mine. Various surface prospecting campaigns over the past several years has identified six different silver vein systems characterized by historical evidence of artisanal mining and outcropping veins with silver-polymetallic mineralization which have been mapped and sampled by Kuya Silver’s geologists. These additional vein systems can be subdivided into three areas located south (Tito PH), west (Carmelitas) and southwest (Millococha) of the Bethania silver mine.

Tito PH

Tito PH is a priority exploration target consisting of one main vein and at least seven additional subparallel veins (Figure 2 below). The main vein has been mapped over approximately 600 metres of strike and may extend up to 1,500 metres, although a 700 metres gap in surface exposure remains to be tested by drilling.

Minor artisanal workings, including two shallow adits and an open stope, occur along the vein cluster. A total of 55 grab samples collected by Kuya Silver geologists returned an arithmetic average grade of 285.7 g/t AgEq* and a maximum value of 2,114.7 g/t AgEq*. The interpreted strike length and high-grade surface samples suggest the system could be comparable in scale to the veins currently mined at Bethania.

Millococha Oeste

Millococha Oeste is one of the most prospective targets identified within the Bethania land package due to the presence of more than 10 mapped veins with consistently high grades. A total of 40 grab samples collected by Kuya Silver geologists returned an arithmetic average grade of 690.4 g/t AgEq* and a maximum value of 2,652.7 g/t AgEq* (Figure 3 below).

Artisanal workings on Kuya Silver’s claims represent the most significant historic activity outside the Santa Elena concession, but remain relatively shallow and poorly explored, highlighting the potential for additional mineralization at depth.

Carmelitas

The Carmelitas prospect includes three vein clusters within an area of approximately 800 metres, comprising the main Carmelitas artisanal mine as well as the Carmelitas Norte and Carmelitas Este showings (Figure 4 below). A total of 125 grab samples collected by Kuya Silver returned grades up to 1,771.5 g/t Ag and an arithmetic average of 145.2 g/t AgEq*.

Although vein density is lower than at other targets, the prospect remains attractive due to the presence of high-grade mineralization and potential structural connections between the three vein clusters.

*Silver Equivalency (AgEq) was calculated using silver ($85.74 USD/troy oz), gold ($5,177.70 USD/troy oz), copper ($12,815.48 USD/tonne), lead ($1,892.0 USD/tonne) and zinc ($3,286.76 USD/tonne) values, obtained on March 3, 2026 from Kitco, and do not consider metal recovery.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control

A total of 940 grab samples (plus QA/QC) were collected in different exploration campaigns from 2021 to 2026. Only 192 samples collected from 2024 to 2026 count with proper QA/QC assessment. The coordinates of the locations of each sample were measured by handheld GPS and the samples dispatched to the ALS Peru S.A. laboratory in Lima for geochemical analysis. The analyses were carried out using the following methods:

  • ME-OG61a – Multi-acid digestion with ICP-AES detection for 33 elements
  • Au-AA23 – Fire assay for gold
  • Ag-OG62 – Four-acid digestion with ICP-AES detection for overlimit silver

All QA/QC standards were acceptable and within two standard deviations of certified values.

As these samples include a mix of early-stage grab, chip, and channel samples and do not include details on vein width, they are not fully representative of total vein mineralization.
