West High Yield Resources Ltd. (TSXV: WHY,OTC:WHYRF) (the ‘Company’ or ‘West High Yield’) is pleased to announce that it has received a draft access permit (the ‘Draft Permit’) from the British Columbia Ministry of Transportation and Transit (the ‘MOTT’) for highway access associated with the Company’s Record Ridge Industrial Mineral Mine project (the ‘RRIMM Project’) located near Rossland, British Columbia.

The Draft Permit outlines the proposed framework for controlled RRIMM Project access from the provincial highway system, including the Cascade Highway corridor. This represents another key regulatory step forward as the Company advances the RRIMM Project following the issuance of its Mines Act permit from the British Columbia Ministry of Mines on October 20, 2025.

Highway access is a critical infrastructure component for the RRIMM Project, supporting construction mobilization, transportation logistics, and future mining operations. The Company will now work with the MOTT to finalize permit conditions, including final engineering design, traffic safety measures, and operational parameters required for project access.

The receipt of the Draft Permit further strengthens the RRIMM Project’s position as one of the most advanced permitted magnesium projects under development in North America, at a time when governments across Canada and the United States are prioritizing the development of domestic critical minerals supply chains.

Magnesium is recognized as a strategic material essential to automotive lightweighting, aerospace manufacturing, defense applications, and advanced industrial alloys. Global supply is currently highly concentrated outside North America, creating increasing urgency for the development of secure, domestic sources of magnesium and related critical materials.

‘Receiving the draft highway access permit from the Ministry of Transportation and Transit is another important milestone as we continue advancing Record Ridge toward development,’ said Frank Marasco, West High Yield’s President and CEO. ‘Infrastructure access is fundamental to transitioning the project from permitting into construction readiness. With the Mines Act Permit already secured, this step moves us closer to unlocking one of North America’s largest and most strategically positioned magnesium resources.’

‘With global leaders at PDAC 2026 highlighting a ‘hinge moment’ for the mining sector, we believe Record Ridge is well positioned to contribute to Canada’s critical minerals strategy,’ Mr. Marasco continued. ‘As magnesium becomes increasingly important for advanced manufacturing and clean technologies, Record Ridge has the potential to provide a secure, low-carbon source of magnesium for North American supply chains.’

The Company is diligently working with its consultants and government authorities to advance post-permit compliance requirements and complete remaining project permitting. In parallel, the Company continues to advance several development initiatives, including pilot processing programs, engineering studies, and strategic industry engagement, with the goal of advancing the processing plant project toward a commercial feasibility study planned for mid-2026.

The Company will provide additional updates as further project development milestones are achieved.

• Advancing Alzheimer’s and Age-Related Macular Degeneration Programs Toward FDA Engagement and IND-Enabling Activities
• Targeting Initiation of Phase 1 Clinical Trial in Alzheimer’s Disease in 2027

InMed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: INM) (‘InMed’ or the ‘Company’), a pharmaceutical company focused on developing a pipeline of disease-modifying small molecule drug candidates that target CB1CB2 receptors, today provides a pharmaceutical development outlook for 2026.

‘Over the last several quarters, we made meaningful scientific and operational progress across our pipeline, particularly with INM-901, generating data that fundamentally strengthened its scientific rationale and strategic positioning in the Alzheimer’s segment. These results support a differentiated approach to Alzheimer’s disease that extends beyond single-target strategies. We further refined the program’s direction and reinforced our conviction that targeting neuroinflammation is critical to addressing Alzheimer’s disease progression,’ commented Eric A. Adams, InMed President and CEO.

‘Looking ahead in 2026, our primary focus is executing activities toward a pre-IND meeting with the FDA in Q3 to discuss the INM-901 program, which we believe will be a key inflection point as we work toward IND submission and initiation of a Phase 1 clinical trial in 2027. In parallel, we will continue developing INM-089 and plan for a pre-IND meeting in Q4 2026.’

INM-901 Program Outlook

INM-901 is a proprietary, orally bioavailable, disease-modifying small molecule drug candidate that is a preferential CB1/CB2 signaling agonist and can cross the blood-brain barrier with a specific focus on treating neuroinflammation in Alzheimer’s disease. InMed believes INM-901 is uniquely positioned within the evolving Alzheimer’s disease treatment landscape as increasing scientific consensus suggests that the disease is driven by multiple, interrelated biological pathways, rather than a single pathogenic mechanism.

InMed has generated preclinical evidence supporting that INM-901 exerts a therapeutic effect by directly attenuating neuroinflammation, which functions as a primary pathogenic driver for the Alzheimer’s disease progression rather than a secondary or a reactive effect. Additional data on neuroprotection and neuritogenesis of INM-901 demonstrated a multifactorial mechanism of action, engaging several complementary pathways critical to mitigate neurodegeneration. By clarifying its focus, InMed strengthened the clinical and commercial rationale for INM-901 and positioned the program to pursue the most efficient and impactful path forward.

Scientific and Development Progress in 2025 include:

Key Anti-Neuroinflammation Progress

Progress Across Additional Mechanisms Within Alzheimer’s Pathology

• Molecular Validation: mRNA data aligns with behavioral findings, supporting observed improvements in cognition, memory and neurogenesis.

Additional Drug Development Progression

• Initiation of the dose-ranging and exposure assessments supporting advancement toward IND-enabling studies.
• Progress in drug substance and drug product development, including formulation development and scale up to support dose ranging and future GLP studies.
• Advancement of drug product and drug substance analytical methods and stability assessments consistent with regulatory expectations.
• Initiation of a regulatory and clinical development framework to support first-in-human evaluation.

2026 Development Priorities for INM-901 include:

• Conduct a pre-IND meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in Q3/2026.
• Continue to execute on IND-enabling pharmacology and toxicology studies.
• Continued development and scale up of drug substance and product manufacturing activities to support IND enabling studies and submission.
• Subject to regulatory feedback and completion of IND-enabling activities, the Company targets submission of an IND and initiation of a Phase 1 clinical trial in 2027.

As we move forward, the progress achieved to date reinforces our confidence in INM-901 and in our strategic direction with a disciplined focus on neuroinflammation with a clear development plan. We believe we are positioned to advance INM-901 efficiently and deliver meaningful long-term value for shareholders.

INM-089 Program Outlook

INM-089 is a small molecule drug candidate being studied for its potential as a treatment for dry age-related macular degeneration.

Scientific and development progress and plans include:

• Generation of data supporting continued evaluation of therapeutic potential.
• Completion of preclinical studies, including dose-ranging assessment, demonstrating dose proportionality and pharmacologically relevant concentration following dosing.
• Drug substance and drug product process in place to support IND enabling studies, with further optimization expected in advance of IND submission.
• Planning for a pre-IND meeting with the FDA in Q4 2026.

Skyharbour Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:SYH)  (OTCQX:SYHBF) (Frankfurt:SC1P) (‘Skyharbour’, ‘SYH’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce that its joint venture partner, Denison Mines Corp. (‘Denison’) (TSX:DML) (NYSE American: DNN), has commenced the 2026 winter exploration program at the newly formed Wheeler North Joint Venture, formerly part of the Russell Lake  property in the eastern Athabasca Basin of northern Saskatchewan. This winter phase of work will consist of approximately 2,500 metres of diamond drilling at the Fox Lake Trail (‘FLT’) target and represents the first phase of a planned 7,500 metre drill campaign in 2026 across the high-priority FLT, Fork and Sphinx target areas. The 2026 drilling at Wheeler North is operated and fully funded by Denison pursuant to the strategic joint venture agreement announced on November 17th, 2025 (‘Denison Transaction’).

Russell Lake Property Area Location Map:
https://www.skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/SKY_RussellLake.jpg

An additional 5,000 metres of drilling at the Wheeler North property’s Fork and Sphinx target areas is planned for later in the year, intending to follow up on drilling from the last few years which discovered prospective structures and uranium mineralization at these targets.

Reorganization of the Russell Lake Property:
https://www.skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/Russell-Map-New.jpg

As part of the Denison Transaction the Russell Lake property was reorganized into four joint ventures:  Wheeler North, Getty East, Russell Lake or RL, and the Wheeler River Inliers. Each of these are strategically located in the central portion of the eastern Athabasca Basin of northern Saskatchewan, to the east of Denison’s flagship Wheeler River project, and with access to significant regional infrastructure, including an exploration camp, provincial highways, and the provincial power grid. In total, more than 15,000 metres of diamond drilling are planned in 2026 across the newly formed joint ventures.

Wheeler North Property Exploration Plans:

Wheeler North comprises 16,409 hectares over eight claims located immediately adjacent to Denison’s Wheeler River Project and hosts multiple high-priority drill targets along prospective conductive corridors. Ownership at the property is currently 51% Skyharbour and 49% Denison, with Denison serving as operator and holding earn-in rights to increase its interest to up to 70% in two phases. To reach 60%, Denison must complete CAD $10 million in exploration within 48 months (including $2.5 million within the first 24 months) and make a $1.5 million cash payment to Skyharbour. To increase from 60% to 70%, Denison must complete an additional $15 million in exploration and make a further $2 million payment within seven years of closing.

Denison is planning an exploration program consisting of approximately 13 diamond drill holes totalling approximately 7,500 metres in 2026 and will focus on three priority target areas: FLT, Fork and Sphinx.

Fox Lake Trail:

Fox Lake Trail is located at the northern end of the Wheeler North property and is characterized by multiple parallel EM conductors refined through modern ground geophysical surveys completed in 2025. Recent drilling upgraded the structural interpretation of the area, intersecting strong hydrothermal alteration in both sandstone and basement, along with localized basement-hosted uranium mineralization and highly elevated boron geochemistry.

Several conductive trends at FLT remain virtually untested along strike, and the current winter drilling program is designed to systematically evaluate these priority structural targets.

Fork Zone:

The Fork Zone represents a northeast–southwest trending structural corridor sub-parallel to the historical Grayling Zone and hosts the highest-grade uranium mineralization discovered to date on the broader Russell Lake project. Previously reported discovery hole RSL24-02 intersected 3.0% U₃O₈ over 0.5 metres at the unconformity, establishing Fork as a structurally controlled, high-grade uranium target.

Subsequent drilling confirmed mineralization continuity along and across strike and identified a broad corridor of intense sandstone and basement alteration extending north of the discovery area. Ground EM surveys have delineated four sub-parallel conductive trends at Fork, most of which remain largely untested. The 2026 program will test this expanding structural corridor to further evaluate its mineralization potential.

Sphinx:

The Sphinx target lies approximately one kilometre southeast of Denison’s Phoenix uranium deposit and represents a newly defined ground EM conductor within a reactivated structural corridor. Initial drilling in 2025 confirmed the presence of a faulted and altered graphitic basement structure below the unconformity, validating the EM anomaly and demonstrating a prospective structural setting.

The projected unconformity intersection of this structure is considered a priority follow-up target. With only one drill hole completed to date at the target, Sphinx remains largely untested and represents a compelling exploration opportunity adjacent to one of the highest-grade uranium deposits in the Athabasca Basin.

Summary of Joint Ventures with Denison:

Collectively the RL, Wheeler North, Getty East, and Wheeler River Inliers joint ventures encompass a large, advanced-stage uranium exploration land package totalling 73,314 hectares in the eastern Athabasca Basin of northern Saskatchewan. The properties are strategically positioned between Cameco’s Key Lake and McArthur River operations and immediately east of Denison’s Wheeler River Project.

Following the completion of a major strategic transaction with Denison in 2025, the former Russell Lake project was restructured into four separate joint venture uranium properties: RL, Wheeler North, Getty East, and Wheeler River Inliers. Each property is subject to its own joint venture agreement with operatorship divided between the partners. Skyharbour is the operator at  RL and Getty East, and Denison is the operator at Wheeler North and the Wheeler River Inliers. In aggregate, the strategic transaction included total project consideration of up to C$61.5 million with Skyharbour retaining an 80% interest at RL while Denison can earn up-to 70% at each of the other properties.

The joint ventures benefit from excellent regional infrastructure, with the northern extension of Highway 914 traversing the western portion of the land package and a high-voltage provincial powerline running parallel to the road. Across the joint ventures, there are numerous high-priority exploration targets including the Grayling, Fork, Little Mann Lake, Christie Lake, Fox Lake Trail, Sphinx, Blue Steel, Taylor Bay, South Russell, and Kowalchuk Zones. In addition, more than 35 kilometres of largely untested prospective electromagnetic conductors occur across the joint venture properties, highlighting the substantial discovery potential.

Qualified Person:

The technical information in this news release has been prepared in accordance with the Canadian regulatory requirements set out in National Instrument 43-101 and reviewed and approved by Serdar Donmez, P.Geo., VP of Exploration for Skyharbour, as well as a Qualified Person.
