Tartisan Nickel Corp. (CSE: TN,OTC:TTSRF) (OTCQB: TTSRF) (FSE: 8TA) (‘Tartisan’, or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce that the Company has acquired eleven additional claims in the Turtle Pond Area, approximately 40 kms south of Dryden, Ontario and approximately 70 kms east of the Company’s flagship Kenbridge Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project.

The total property package now consists of 161 claims covering 3,375 ha. The claims are owned 100% by Tartisan Nickel Corps. wholly owned subsidiary Canadian Arrow Mines Limited. The property is situated in an area with excellent infrastructure.

Previous exploration efforts identified nickel-copper sulphide mineralization in twelve trenches along a 700-metre trend at the Glatz nickel copper showing. The zone, discovered in 1965 by local prospector A. Glatz, is up to 40 metres wide and is open along strike and at depth. Historical grab samples were reported to contain up to 1.95% Ni. In 2007, Canadian Arrow Mines Limited conducted a surface grab sampling program which produced the following results: 1.28% Ni, 0.26% Cu re Glatz Trench 3; 0.99% Ni, 0.18% Cu re Glatz Trench 3; 0.39% Ni, 4.06% Cu re Trench 4. The mineralization varies from disseminated sulphides to narrow semi-massive sulphide bands. Six short drill holes were completed at that time with hole GZ-09- 02 encountering 0.34% Ni, 0.16% Cu and 0.02% Co over 5.9 m from 45.0-50.9 m.

A nickel-copper-PGE discovery on the Double E airborne VTEM anomaly was identified in 2008. The drilling intersected two separate upper and lower mineralized zones in 2 drill holes. Hole EE-09-02 intersected 4.2 metres of 0.81% Ni, 0.52% Cu, 0.20gpt Pt, 0.16gpt P and 0.20gpt Au at a depth of 25.5 metres. This included 2 metres of 1.35% Ni, 0.81% Cu, 0.36gpt Pt, 0.27gpt Pd and 0.31gpt Au. A second zone was intersected at a depth of 135.1 metres containing 8.2m of 0.55% Ni and 0.38% Cu. Hole EE-l0-04 intersected 1.9 metres of 0.51% Ni, 0.24% Cu at a depth of 21.4 metres and a second narrow intersection of 1.9 metres of 0.52% Ni, 0.28% Cu at a depth of 28 metres.

Exploration diamond drilling work completed in 2009 and 2010 on the Night Danger nickel-copper reported a nine-metre-wide section of stringers and blebs of sulphide which assayed 0.57% Ni and 0.45% Cu at a drill depth of 79m in hole ND-09-1. Two sections within this interval assayed greater than 1% nickel. Drill hole ND-10-1 intersected 4.53% Ni over 0.7m at a drill depth of 57.5m (Source; MNDM assessment files and Canadian Arrow Mines Limited news release dated June 1, 2010, SEDAR).

From November 28^th to December 21^st, 2024, a TDEM Geophysical survey was performed on the Turtle Pond Property undertaken by Expert Geophysics Limited (SEDAR+ February 27, 2025). Tartisan Nickel Corp. conducted this survey for the purpose of determining drill targets and potential future exploration work on the Turtle Pond Project.

Mark Appleby, President and CEO of Tartisan stated ‘The Glatz, Double E and Night Danger nickel-copper showings display similar nickel and copper tenors as what we find near surface at our Kenbridge Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project. Acquisition of these claims complement the company’s larger objective of developing the Kenbridge Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project into an operating mine with a central milling facility. The Company will be formulating an exploration program consisting of surface sampling and potentially diamond drilling for 2026-27.

Nine Mile Metals LTD. (CSE: NINE,OTC:VMSXF) (OTC Pink: VMSXF) (FSE: KQ9) (the ‘Company’ or ‘Nine Mile’) is pleased to provide the details of drill hole WD-25-05 in addition to a summary of the 2025 drill program completed in December at the Wedge Project.

Drillhole WD-25-05:

DDH WD-25-05 collared on the same drill pad as WD-25-01 and drilled at an azimuth of 310 degrees and a dip of -60 to a final depth of 275 meters.

• DDH-WD-25-05 was successful, intersecting massive VMS (Cu, Pb, Zn, Ag, Au) mineralization between 155.52 – 157.80 meters (Figure 1) followed by 40 meters of mineralized felsic volcanics (rhyolite) as seen in Figure 2 between 157.80 and 197.80 meters before terminating in sediments.
• Mineralization consisted of both pyrite and chalcopyrite as disseminations, masses, and associated with quartz bands parallel to bedding.
• All drill core has been measured, logged, photographed, marked, and cut for sampling at the company’s warehouse in Bathurst, New Brunswick. A quick XRF analysis was also completed for sulphide confirmation – filtering and width identification in definition for sampling core for Actlabs Analysis. A total of 55 sections were delivered to ALS Global in Moncton, New Brunswick for Base and Precious Metals analysis, including Antimony.

Drill Holes BHEM -01 and BHEM-02:

Both drill holes were collared on permitted drill pads in the northwest along the western extension (Figure 4). The drill core for both BHEM-01 and BHEM-02 were solid with minimal faulting / fracturing in the host sediments providing ideal drill holes for surveying and subsequent follow up. Collared outside of known mineralization, the holes are well positioned to locate and model adjacent mineralization with no interference from a conductive source within the drill hole. Both holes are capped and easily accessible, the drill pads available for extending drilling further west and if required, additional depth.

Gary Lohman, VP Exploration, Director stated, ‘Our Wedge Drill Program has been very successful, intersecting Massive Cu bearing VMS where targeted in the western extension of the Wedge Deposit, as designed. Two holes were also drilled in the Northwest area to facilitate an upcoming BHEM survey, their locations in solid rock on the flanks of previous underground workings. In addition to identifying additional mineralization, the size and scale of the individual geological units and results from the upcoming BHEM program will assist in modeling the deposit and targeting additional drilling along the western extension. After our successful drilling in the southern lower extension of the deposit, our knowledge of the deposit and mineralization has increased and identified new areas of priority that were not permitted for this past drill program. We have identified new drill collar locations to continue to test the Copper Zone on the western extension in addition to potential locations that avoid the shear zone in the south. New permitting is underway in preparation of an exciting 2026 campaign at the Wedge, including our West Wedge and Tribag Target Trend drill programs.’

2025 Drill Program Overview:

The program consisted of 7 drill holes totaling 1,654 meters with 5 holes targeting copper mineralization in the western extension of the Wedge Mine with two additional holes collared in the northwest to facilitate BHEM (Bore Hole Electromagnetic) surveying this spring. The goal is to map the depth of the deposit and define the new copper zone. We should also be able to map the western parameters of the deposit, heading west towards the Tribag and West Wedge along trend.

The 2025 drill program was highly successful, with all five drill holes targeting copper mineralization intersecting both massive VMS (Cu, Pb, Zn, Ag, Au) and banded copper sulphide mineralization. The two holes collared to facilitate BHEM geophysical surveying were also successful, collared in the northwest portion of the western extension, away from the large, graphitic shear zone that bounds the deposit in the south and west of the interpreted extent of previous, underground workings. BHEM surveying has its best results when drilled away from the mineralization and the magnetic interference.

The five drill holes targeting mineralization were all collared in the southwest, crossing through a brecciated, graphitic shear zone (tectonic melange) before intersecting a well-defined massive VMS (Cu, Pb, Zn, Ag, Au) horizon. This is characteristic of the mineralized contact after which a sequence of intercalated sediments and volcanics are cut prior to the holes intersecting the main zone of VMS mineralization with mineralized widths between 13 and 48 meters.

The VMS mineralization consisted of abundant pyrite and lesser chalcopyrite, sphalerite, and galena. Local, secondary copper, covellite (CuS) and bornite (Cu₅FeS₄), was also identified in drill holes WD-25-02 and WD-25-04.

In the west, the metal zonation appears different than the drill holes completed in the east with the prevalence of a greater concentration of chalcopyrite and pyrite with lesser galena (Pb) and sphalerite (Zn). Although it is early in the process, we have confirmed the presence abundant chalcopyrite and coarser grained pyrite in the western extension.

The key observations in this program include:

• Graphitic Shear Zone in contact with VMS confirmed as a diagnostic marker horizon in the southwest.
• Mineralized siliceous volcanics were intersected in numerous drill holes, defining an additional, mineralized sequence.
• VMS mineralization occurs in multiple horizons as seen in holes WD-25-01 and WD-25-02.
• The intersected units (Argillite, VMS and Felsic Volcanics) are of substantial width and extent which will assist in the 3D modeling of the deposit and subsequent drill hole targeting.

Patrick J Cruickshank, MBA, CEO & Director, stated, ‘We are thrilled with the success of our Wedge Phase 2 Drill Program. To have all 5 holes strike mineralization was more than we expected. It is a testament to our Technical Team and specifically, Mike Dufresne and Gary Lohman. We already have identified Phase 3 Drill holes and are determined more than ever to expand this deposit’s footprint and expose this entire new 3^rd High Grade Copper Lens. In addition, the BHEM surveys, the Phase 3 Wedge Drilling, the TriBag & West Wedge drilling to test this VMS Cluster Trend, 2026 will be filled with Wedge Project activity. We expect our first Assays to arrive this week from ALS Global and look forward to sharing the results.’

Flow Metals Corp. (CSE: FWM) (‘Flow Metals’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to report that it has entered into an option agreement dated February 9, 2026 (the ‘Option Agreement’) with Go Metals Corp. (‘Go Metals’) to acquire the Monster IOCG project (the ‘Monster Project’), located approximately 90 kilometres north of Dawson City in the traditional territory of the Tr’ondek Hwech’in First Nation.

‘The acquisition of the Monster Project represents a Tier 1-scale opportunity and positions Flow Metals with meaningful exposure to both gold and copper. Our team has long believed in the Yukon’s exceptional mineral potential since we began working in the region in 2010, and the Monster Project marks a pivotal step in building a premier exploration portfolio,’ said Scott Sheldon, CEO of Flow Metals.

Monster Property, Yukon – IOCG Exploration Target

The Monster Property is a discovery-stage copper exploration project in Yukon, with percent-level copper and cobalt mineralization identified in surface showings. Exploration has identified geological features and metal associations consistent with iron oxide copper-gold (‘IOCG’) style systems.

Copper-cobalt showings have been identified over approximately 14 km of strike, defining a mineralized corridor. Grab samples have returned percent-level copper values, including results up to 22.3% Cu and 9.6% Co. To date, 45 grab samples across the project met the strongly mineralized threshold. These occurrences are spatially associated with both magnetic and gravity anomalies. Three main targets have been identified: Bloom, Arena, and Beast, ranging between 1,300 and 3,500 metres in width. Selected samples from these targets are summarized in the tables below. Grab samples are selective by nature and may not represent average grades of mineralized zones.

Parts of the property are underlain by rocks of the Wernecke Breccia, a regionally extensive Paleoproterozoic (~1.8 Ga) iron oxide-rich breccia system. The rocks are characterized by extensive fracturing, brecciation, and iron oxide alteration developed over kilometre-scale zones and are interpreted to record repeated fluid movement through the crust. The resulting fracture networks provide permeable pathways capable of focusing metal-bearing fluids.

A 2021 percussion drilling program was limited by a drill booster failure but intersected 0.72% Cu over 5.0 feet within hematite-chlorite altered breccia interpreted as IOCG-style mineralization. These results confirmed subsurface mineralization, even though the drill hole ended short of the inverted gravity anomaly. True widths and continuity are unknown, and further drilling is required to test the three main gravity anomalies.

Bloom Target (1.9 km²) selected grab sample highlights:

 A total of 28 samples at Bloom met the Company’s strongly mineralized threshold.

Arena Target (5.1 km²) selected grab sample highlights:

A total of 21 samples at Arena met the Company’s strongly mineralized threshold.

Beast Target (2.4 km²) selected grab sample highlights:

A total of 4 samples at Beast met the Company’s strongly mineralized threshold.

Option Agreement – Monster Project

Pursuant to the Option Agreement, Flow Metals may acquire a 100% interest in the Monster Project by completing the following payments and share issuances (collectively, the ‘Option Consideration’):

• 3,000,000 common shares of Flow Metals, payable within 10 business days of receipt of all required approvals and CSE acceptance;

• 3,000,000 common shares of Flow Metals on the one year anniversary of the execution date;

• $2,000,000, payable on the 120^th day of commercial production; and

• Go Metals will retain a 2% net smelter return royalty (‘NSR’) on the Monster Project.

The transaction constitutes a ‘related party transaction’ for the purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (‘MI 61-101’), as certain directors and/or officers of the Company are also directors and/or officers of Go Metals. The Company will comply with applicable requirements of MI 61-101 in connection with the transaction.

The transaction is exempt from the valuation and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a), as the fair market value of the transaction is not more than 25% of Flow Metals’ market capitalization. Further, Evans & Evans has been retained to provide a fairness opinion to the board of directors of Go Metals in connection with the transaction. The fairness opinion is expected to address the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the transaction to Go Metals and is not a formal valuation.

Sixtymile Project

The Sixtymile district is a historic placer gold camp that has produced gold since the 1890s and remains active today. Ongoing placer operations continue to recover angular and crystalline gold, which is interpreted to indicate a nearby bedrock source. Flow Metals’ mineral claims cover key placer-producing drainages, including Bedrock, Miller, Glacier, and Little Gold creeks. The claims lie within a thrust-related deformation corridor extending at least nine kilometres across the property, which is interpreted to have acted as a major structural conduit for mineralizing fluids.

Recent geological reinterpretation, based on detailed re-logging of historic drill hole DDH-11-18, has identified a folded metasedimentary (turbidite) sequence within the host schist. Gold-bearing quartz veins are interpreted to occur preferentially within competent, quartz-rich layers that have been folded into antiformal geometries within the structural corridor. Historical drilling intersected 105.30 m at 0.51 g/t Au from 88.0 m, including 24.07 m at 1.57 g/t Au in DDH-11-18*. This refined, fold-controlled model provides a focused framework for targeting higher-grade shoots within deformed, quartz-rich horizons.

*These results are historical in nature, have not been independently verified by the Company, and should not be relied upon as a current estimate of mineralization.

About Flow Metals

Flow Metals group has maintained an active presence in the Yukon since 2018, building deep technical expertise and local relationships across the territory. Flow Metals has established a trusted network of experienced contractors and strong working relationships with both territorial and First Nation governments, providing the Company with a solid foundation to efficiently advance exploration projects in the North.
