Saga Metals Corp. (‘TSXV: SAGA,OTC:SAGMF’) (‘FSE: 20H’) (‘SAGA’ or the ‘Company’), a North American exploration company focused on discovering critical minerals, is pleased to announce the results from its follow up field program at the North Wind Iron Ore project in West Central region of Labrador, Canada.

Key Field Program Highlights

• High-Grade Iron Ore Potential: Iron content (Fe₂O₃) in grab samples from the Sokoman Formation range as high as 84.57% Fe₂O₃, with continuous high grade in the Lower, Middle and Upper Iron stratigraphy’s. Highest grab sample of 2025 returned 79.26 % Fe₂O₃, from the Middle Iron Formation.
• Magnetite-Rich Ore: Davis Tube separation techniques confirm the presence of magnetite-rich taconite ore, along with the occurrence of hematite, limonite, and goethite. These results are comparable to historical regional resources at the KéMag, Sheps Lake, and Perrault Lake deposits, which boasted strong resource estimates.
• Extensive Mineralization Zone: Fieldwork identified iron ore mineralization over a 4km NW-SE trend, with indications that the mineralized zone continues southeast. Mapping in the area suggests that the units dip shallowly to the northeast which would make easy drill targets for resource estimation. Surface thickness of the mineralized trend ranges between 600 and 700 meters, underscoring the project’s potential scale.

SAGA’s North Wind Iron Ore Project: A highly prospective iron ore asset located in the globally recognized, resource-rich Labrador Trough

The North Wind Iron Ore property located 16 kilometers southwest of Schefferville, Quebec, within the prolific Labrador Trough, represents a secondary but high-potential critical mineral asset within Saga Metals’ portfolio. The Labrador Trough, an extensive 1,100-kilometer suite of Proterozoic rocks, is renowned for hosting world-class iron ore deposits and is a major hub for iron ore exploration.

In February of 2025, Cyclone Metals Limited announced that it signed a binding commercial agreement with Vale S.A. regarding the joint development of its Iron Bear iron ore project. (See Figure 1 above for project location). Under the terms of the agreement, Vale has the right to provide up to USD $138 million of funding to the Iron Bear Project in two Phases and earn 75% of the project. If Vale elects to proceed to Decision to Mine (DTM), Vale can elect to acquire the remaining 25% of the Iron Bear project at fair market value or carry Cyclone to production with no dilution.

SAGA’s North Wind property spans 6,375 hectares across 255 claim blocks under a single license. Its geological framework holds significant potential, reinforced by a portion of a historical resource estimate (NI 43-101 compliant) completed in 2013 by New Millennium Iron. This estimate included two key types of iron ore commonly found in the Labrador Trough:

• Soft iron ores: Composed of fine-grained secondary iron oxides, including hematite, goethite, and limonite.
• Taconites: Fine-grained, weakly metamorphosed iron formations with above-average magnetite content.

Historical exploration at North Wind includes data from eight drill holes, drilled by New Millenium in 2013, which averaged 20.74% Total Fe (iron) content over 590 meters drilled. Notably, the Lower Red Green Chert (LRGC), a key stratigraphic unit within the property, returned an average grade of 24.76% Fe across 277 meters drilled and was intercepted in all eight holes. This LRGC unit forms part of the Sokoman Formation’s ‘Lower Iron Formation,’ a high-priority target confirmed by both New Millennium Iron and SAGA’s exploration team.

North Wind Iron Ore Field Program 2025

As part of routine claims maintenance, Saga Metals conducted a short field program at the North Wind Iron Ore property in the Autumn of 2025. In total, 38 rock samples were collected within the target area, all being grab samples, across all units, with the main focus on the Middle and Lower iron formations. Of those 38 Grab samples, 17 of them were above 30% with the highest sampling coming from the Middle Iron Formation with 79.26% Fe₂O₃.

The program focused on mapping, prospecting, and rock sampling, targeting the northern and central areas of the property for follow up and drill hole verification, and the south first pass evaluation.

The Sokoman Formation, a high-priority target for Saga Metals, forms the core focus of exploration. This formation is subdivided into three stratigraphic members based on iron content (Fe₂O₃) seen below with the 2025 Top 18 samples:

• Upper Iron Member: 37%–70.42% Fe₂O₃
• Middle Iron Member: 36 %–79.26% Fe₂O₃
• Lower Iron Member: 32.97 %–66.75% Fe₂O₃

The highest sample collected during the program (Sample ID: 1800354) returned 79.26 % Fe₂O₃, originating from the middle Iron members of the Sokoman Formation. These middle and lower members of the Sokoman Formation are particularly prospective, offering the most favorable grades based on iron content.

To further evaluate the potential of these units, SAGA employed Davis Tube Magnetic Separation techniques (as seen below in Table 1). This analytical method effectively separates magnetic (magnetite) and non-magnetic fractions (hematite, limonite, goethite and gangue minerals), providing a robust measurement of magnetite content. Results from these tests indicate that the magnetic fraction compares favorably to grades from nearby historical deposits, including the KéMag, Sheps Lake, and Perrault Lake deposits along the same geological trend. These regional deposits have reported 20%–34% Davis Tube Weight Recovery (DTWR) in historical NI 43-101 mineral resource estimates. *Past results or discoveries of resources on adjacent or nearby properties may not necessarily be indicative of the presence of significant mineralization on the Company’s property.

The 2025 work program confirmed the continued definition of the prospective Middle and Lower Iron members of the Sokoman Formation. Detailed structural mapping has shown the shallow dip of these formations to the northeast which the team has recognised is a great opportunity to expand on the New Millennium resource in the future by defining the grade continuity under cover of the Menhek formation and the less mineralised Upper Iron formation. New Millennium’s drilling in 2012 concentrated on the narrow strip in the middle where these formations were exposed on the surface.

Michael Garagan, CGO & Director of Saga Metals Corp. stated: ‘These findings, including the identified shallowly dipping mineralization to the east, reaffirm the North Wind Iron Ore Project’s potential to become a significant iron ore asset. With iron ore playing a critical role in the steelmaking process and increasing demand driven by infrastructure and renewable energy developments, Saga Metals sees considerable growth potential for the projects value and positions it as a promising contributor to SAGA’s portfolio of critical mineral assets.’

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA / ACCESS Newswire / December 30, 2025 / Prince Silver Corp. (CSE:PRNC,OTC:PRNCF)(OTCQB:PRNCF)(T130:Frankfurt) (‘Prince Silver’ or the ‘Company) is pleased to announce that its ongoing reverse circulation (‘RC’) drilling program has encountered favourable alteration in all ten drill holes completed to date at the Prince Silver Mine Project (the ‘Project’). Furthermore, the Company will increase the planned drill program from 21,000 feet (~6,400 metres) to over 30,000 feet (~9,100 metres) and accelerate drilling with the addition of a second RC drill rig next month.

Current drilling is focused on evaluating near-surface (less than 300 metres) carbonate replacement (‘CRD’) silver-gold-manganese and base-metal mineralization, as well as sediment-hosted gold-silver zones, along a 3,500-foot (~1,070-metre) structural corridor ranging from 600 to 1,200 feet (~180-360 metres) in width. Mineralization at the Project remains open in all directions within shallow, gently dipping mineralized zones that present potential for open-pit mining.

The first batch of assays for the ten completed drill holes is expected in January 2026. Results will provide important insight into the scale and continuity of mineralization across the Exploration Target (as defined below) and the broader mineralized system, and to help guide subsequent phases of drilling with the objective of incorporating new data into an initial NI 43-101-compliant mineral resource estimate.

‘The alteration encountered in the drill holes reinforce our confidence in the Prince Silver Mine Project and support our decision to expand and accelerate drilling,’ said Derek Iwanaka, CEO of Prince Silver Corp. ‘With a second drill rig coming on site and assays pending, we are well positioned to advance the Project toward a maiden mineral resource while continuing to test the broader mineralized system.’

Exploration Target

Historical drilling at the Project identified an exploration target (the ‘Exploration Target’) outlined in an independent historical report prepared in accordance with JORC guidelines by OmniGeoX Exploration Consultants of Perth, Australia. The report, titled ‘Prince Project Exploration Target’ (dated April 24, 2024), was authored by Dr. Lachlan Rutherford and Michael Martin (OmniGeoX Exploration Consultants, 2024, Independent Report prepared for Prince Silver Corp.).

The Exploration Target is based on 129 historic drill holes testing mineralized carbonate replacement beds and host Pioche Shale to depths of up to 300 metres. Historical block modelling of polymetallic mineralization suggests the immediate Exploration Target ranges from approximately 25-43 million tonnes with grades of 1.44-1.57% Zn, 0.78-0.87% Pb, 0.28-0.40 g/t Au, 37-40 g/t Ag, and 3.62-4.30% Mn. Dr. Rutherford and Mr. Martin are Competent Persons as defined under the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC Code).

Additional details on the Exploration Target and historic production are available in the Company’s press release dated February 27, 2025, filed on SEDAR+ (Prince Silver Corp., 2025, Historic Drilling and Production Summary).

Readers are cautioned that the Exploration Target is not a mineral resource as defined under National Instrument 43-101. The Exploration Target is conceptual in nature and based on historic drilling totaling 16,606 metres, historic production records, mine level plans, and 3D geological modelling. There has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource, and it is uncertain whether further exploration will result in the delineation of a mineral resource.

(CSE: LFLR,OTC:LFLRF) (FSE: 3WK0) (‘LaFleur Minerals’ or the ‘Company’ or ‘Issuer’) is pleased to announce that, further to its news releases dated December 15, 2025, and December 16, 2025, the Company has completed its previously announced non-brokered private placement of units of the Company (the ‘LIFE Units’) at a price of $0.50 per Unit under the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption (as defined herein) for an upsized amount and gross proceeds of $4,695,000 (the ‘LIFE Offering’). The Company also announces that it has closed its previously announced Flow-Through Offering (the ‘FT Units’) at a price of $0.60 per flow-through unit for an oversubscribed amount and gross proceeds of $2,205,421.

With both these financings closed, upsized due to demand and oversubscribed, LaFleur is now funded for the restart of its Beacon Gold Mill, intending to source mineralized material from its nearby Swanson Gold Project, and starting with an estimated 10,000-20,000 metric tons (mt) of mineralized stockpiles remaining on the site of its wholly-owned Beacon Gold Mill.

FMI Securities Inc. acted as a special advisor and selling group member on the closed LIFE and FT Offerings, along with participation from other key investment banks and advisory firms such as Red Cloud Securities Inc., Ventum Financial Corp., Canaccord Genuity Group Inc., Research Capital Corp., Raymond James Ltd. and Stonegate Securities Ltd.

Beacon Gold Mill: A Strategic, High-Value Infrastructure Asset

The Company is uniquely positioned as one of the few junior gold companies in Canada that owns a fully permitted, existing gold mill, providing a clear pathway to cash flow without the long timelines, dilution, and capital intensity typically associated with mill construction. The completion of these financings materially de-risks LaFleur’s business model, enabling the Company to advance directly into gold production at its Beacon Gold Mill while simultaneously unlocking value from its nearby Swanson Gold Project. This vertically integrated strategy allows LaFleur to control the full value chain, from mineralized material to doré, creating the potential for early revenue generation, margin capture, and shareholder value accretion.

LaFleur’s wholly-owned Beacon Gold Mill represents a rare and highly strategic asset within the Abitibi Gold Belt. The 750 tpd mill is fully constructed, in good condition, permitted, historically proven, and ready for restart of operations, significantly reducing execution risk and capital requirements compared to greenfield development scenarios. With funding now secured, the Company intends to restart mill operations and advance toward gold production, with impending Preliminary Economic Assessment (‘PEA’) results expected mid-January, positioning LaFleur as the newest producer in one of the world’s most prolific gold districts. Led by Environmental Resources Management (ERM), a global mining, sustainability, and environmental consulting firm with extensive technical mining expertise, the PEA is conducted for the purpose of evaluating the restart of gold production at LaFleur’s wholly-owned and recently refurbished Beacon Gold Mill using mineralized material from its nearby Swanson Gold Deposit, both located in the recognized mining camp of Val-d’Or, Québec. Ownership of the Beacon Gold Mill provides LaFleur with operational flexibility and optionality, including the ability to process mineralized material from its own project and potentially third-party feed from regional deposits, creating additional revenue opportunities beyond its core assets.

Swanson Gold Project: High-Grade Feed Potential Close to the Mill

The Swanson Gold Project, located in close proximity to the Beacon Gold Mill, is a cornerstone of LaFleur’s production strategy. The project hosts various showings of high-grade gold mineralization within the Abitibi Greenstone Belt, positioned in an area renowned for producing over 200 million ounces of gold historically. The Company plans to advance Swanson as a primary source of mill feed, leveraging short haul distances to reduce operating costs and enhance project economics. With funding in place, LaFleur can aggressively advance exploration and development activities at Swanson, targeting the definition of near-surface, high-grade zones that could be rapidly transitioned into production. This approach supports a low-capex, staged production model designed to generate cash flow while continuing to grow the resource base.

Beacon-Swanson Synergy: A Clear Path to Value Creation

The combination of a wholly-owned, restart-ready gold mill and a nearby, district-scale gold project with high-grade potential, positions LaFleur Minerals as a differentiated junior gold company with a clear and executable growth strategy. Being funded enables the Company to move decisively toward production, reduce financing risk, and focus on operational execution. Management believes this milestone places LaFleur in a strong position to deliver near-term production, establish cash flow, and build a scalable gold platform in Québec, creating long-term value for shareholders as the Company advances toward becoming a sustainable gold producer.

Sankamap Metals Inc. (CSE: SCU) (‘Sankamap’ or the ‘Company’) the Company and its auditor continue to work diligently toward the completion and filing of the Company’s annual audited financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 (the ‘Required Filings’). The Company has applied to the Alberta Securities Commission for an extension of the Management Cease Trade Order (‘MCTO’), however, there can be no assurance that a further extension will be granted. The additional delay in completing the Required Filings is primarily due to the auditor awaiting the receipt of certain required information from government authorities in Solomon Islands, as well as timing constraints associated with the holiday period. The Company estimates that approximately 90% of the audit work has been completed.

The Required Filings were due to be filed by October 28, 2025. In connection with the anticipated delays in making the Required Filings, the Company made an application for a Management Cease Trade Order (‘MCTO‘) under National Policy 12-203 Management Cease Trade Orders (‘NP 12-203‘) to the Alberta Securities Commission, as principal regulator for the Company, and the MCTO was issued on October 29, 2025. The MCTO restricts all trading by the Company’s CEO and CFO in securities of the Company, whether direct or indirect. The MCTO does not affect the ability of persons who are not directors, officers or insiders of the Company to trade their securities. The MCTO will remain in effect until the Required Filings are filed or until it is revoked or varied.

The Company expects to proceed with the filing of its interim first-quarter financial statements shortly after the Required Filings have been completed and submitted.

The Company confirms that it intends to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines described in NP 12-203 by issuing bi-weekly default status reports in the form of a news release until it meets the Required Filings requirement. The Company has not taken any steps towards any insolvency proceeding and the Company has no material information relating to its affairs that has not been generally disclosed.

For further information with respect to the MCTO, please refer to the Company’s news releases dated October 21, 2025, November 4, 2025, November 18, 2025, December 3, 2025 and December 17, 2025, available for viewing on the Company’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

About Sankamap Metals Inc.

Sankamap Metals Inc. (CSE: SCU) is a Canadian mineral exploration company dedicated to the discovery and development of high-grade copper and gold deposits through its flagship Oceania Project, located in the South Pacific. The Company’s fully permitted assets are strategically positioned in the Solomon Islands, along a prolific geological trend that hosts major copper-gold deposits; including Newcrest’s Lihir Mine, with a resource of 71.9 million ounces of gold¹ (310 Mt containing 23 Moz Au at 2.3 g/t P+P, 520 Mt containing 39 Moz Au at 2.3 g/t indicated, 81 Mt containing 5 Moz Au at 1.9 g/t measured, 61 Mt containing 4.9 Moz Au at 2.3 g/t Inferred).

Exploration is actively advancing at both the Kuma and Fauro properties, part of Sankamap’s Oceania Project in the Solomon Islands. Historical work has already highlighted the mineral potential of both sites, which lie along a highly prospective copper and gold-bearing trend, suggesting the possibility of further, yet-to-be-discovered deposits.

At Kuma, the property is believed to host an underexplored and largely untested porphyry copper-gold (Cu-Au) system. Historical rock chip sampling has returned consistently elevated gold values above 0.5 g/t Au, including a standout sample assaying 11.7% Cu and 13.5 g/t Au²; underscoring the area’s significant potential.

At Fauro, particularly at the Meriguna Target, historical trenching has returned highly encouraging results, including 8.0 meters at 27.95 g/t Au and 14.0 meters at 8.94 g/t Au³. Complementing these results are exceptional grab sample assays, including historical values of up to 173 g/t Au³, along with recent sampling by Sankamap at the Kiovakase Target, which returned numerous high-grade copper values, reaching up to 4.09% Cu. In addition, limited historical shallow drilling intersected 35.0 meters at 2.08 g/t Au³, further underscoring the property’s strong mineral potential and the merit for continued exploration. With a commitment to systematic exploration and a team of experienced professionals, Sankamap aims to unlock the untapped potential of underexplored regions and create substantial value for its shareholders.
