West High Yield (W.H.Y.) Resources Ltd. (TSXV: WHY,OTC:WHYRF) (FSE: W0H) (the ‘Company’ or ‘West High Yield’) is pleased to provide a corporate update highlighting the posting of the initial reclamation bond for its Record Ridge magnesium and critical minerals project (the ‘Record Ridge Project’ or the ‘Project’) located 10 kilometers southwest of Rossland, British Columbia, along with ongoing advancement of key permit conditions and pre-construction activities. Since receiving its Mines Act permit from the British Columbia Ministry of Mines and Critical Minerals (the ‘Permit’) for the Project, the Company has accelerated work across regulatory, environmental, engineering, and capital planning streams in preparation for targeted construction mobilization in the second quarter of 2026.

Initial Reclamation Bond Posted – Advancing Permit Condition Fulfillment

West High Yield has formally completed the first phase of the reclamation bond with the British Columbia Ministry of Mines and Critical Minerals, fulfilling a key British Columbia Mines Act Permit requirement and a key marker of de-risking the Record Ridge Project. This milestone:

• reduces regulatory timeline uncertainty;
• confirms alignment with provincial environmental and closure requirements; and
• progresses the Project toward full construction authorization.

‘We continue to move the Record Ridge Project forward in a disciplined and structured manner,’ stated Frank Marasco, President & CEO of West High Yield. ‘Posting the initial reclamation bond and executing the early-stage Permit requirements demonstrate our commitment to responsible development and to maintaining strong momentum following the issuance of the Mines Act Permit.’

Environmental and Groundwork Activities Strengthen 2026 Construction Readiness

Since the issuance of the Permit, the Company has advanced a sequence of pre-development tasks required ahead of site mobilization, including:

• a comprehensive vegetation audit covering the access corridor and mine footprint;
• tree marking and footprint delineation to refine the disturbance boundaries and engineering detail; and
• baseline site-preparation work to support final design and contracting.

These activities advance the Company toward the Project construction readiness, enabling mobilization in the second quarter of 2026 subject to final financing and regulatory coordination.

Strategic Capital Pathway: Government Programs and Private Financing Advancing

The Company is actively advancing both government and private-sector financing initiatives as part of its structured capital strategy for the Record Ridge Project. This includes ongoing engagement with Federal and Provincial critical mineral funding programs, as well as continued discussions with institutional lenders, international strategic groups, and private investors seeking long-term exposure to magnesium and related critical minerals.

These financing pathways are intended to support the phased development of Record Ridge, including initial mine construction and future downstream processing opportunities within Canada’s growing critical-minerals supply chain.

Record Ridge Positioning

The Record Ridge Project remains well positioned as one of the few permitted critical mineral projects of its scale in Canada. The Company continues to advance the technical, regulatory, and financial work required to transition the Project toward phased development and long-term integration into the North American critical minerals supply chain.

Bold Ventures Inc. (TSXV: BOL,OTC:BVLDF) (the ‘Company’ or ‘Bold’) is pleased to announce the results of its Fall mechanical stripping and channel sampling program on its Burchell Copper-Gold Property (the ‘Property’), located within the Shebandowan Greenstone Belt approximately 100 km west of Thunder Bay, Ontario. Eight areas were stripped by excavator in the vicinity of the 111 Gold Zone, including the 111 Zone itself, and more than 400 channel samples and 80 grab samples were collected during the program. All gold results and most trace element results have now been received from the laboratory.

Highlights from the program include:

• The northernmost channel sample and grab sample at Stripped Area 1 (~17 m across strike from the main gold zone) were anomalous in gold (0.32 g/t Au over 1.0m channel and 0.44 g/t Au grab sample), indicating a possible subparallel gold zone and the need to expand the stripping to the north.
• Widespread zinc and gold anomalies, with local copper and lead anomalies, at multiple stripped areas including the 111 Zone. Apparent zonation from south to north at the 111 Zone from dominantly zinc to copper to gold across a total discontinuous mineralized width of 29 meters in the central part of the zone. Stripped Area 4 approximately 500 meters west of the 111 Zone returned 0.13 g/t Au and 0.7% Zn over 4.3 meters including 0.30 g/t Au and 3.1% Zn over 0.8 meters.

Identification of three areas where additional mechanical stripping is warranted in advance of drilling: Stripped Areas 1, 6 1nd 7, see Figure 1.

Significant results from each stripped area are presented below. The results are summarized in Figure 1 and Figure 2 displays a detailed map of channel sampling results at Stripped Area 1 (the 111 Zone). Table 1 gives the UTM coordinates, lengths, orientations and grades of channel samples at the 111 Zone and select channel samples at other stripped areas. Channel sample widths reported are apparent widths. Table 2 gives relevant information on select grab samples collected at the stripped areas.

Stripped Area 1:

Target: the 111 Zone, 68 g/t Au grab sample.

Results: Identification of an envelope of discontinuous anomalous gold mineralization with maximum width of 14 meters. Channel samples include 2.1 g/t Au over 1.0 m, 1.4 g/t Au over 1.0 m, 1.7 g/t Au over 0.55 m, and 2.1 g/t Au over 0.5 m (previously reported on September 11, 2025). Higher-grade values tend to occur on either side of a 2-meter wide QFP sill which is strongly fractured and outcrops poorly. The host rocks appear to be silicified mafic to intermediate metavolcanic rocks, transitioning to more intermediate to the northwest. One grab sample of exposed outcrop returned 8.0 g/t Au with others returning 2.0 g/t Au and 1.0 g/t Au. Earlier in the season an additional high-grade result of 32.4 g/t Au, previously unreported, was obtained from a slab of subcrop near to where the 68 g/t Au sample had been discovered (see January 9, 2025 news release). The northern-most channel sample in the stripped area (~17 m across strike from the main gold zone) returned 0.32 g/t Au over 1.0 m, and a grab sample returned 0.44 g/t Au, suggestive of a parallel zone to the north which should be stripped back further. Multiple samples of anomalous zinc mineralization were also obtained, generally marginal to or outside of the envelope of anomalous gold mineralization. Intervals include 0.87% Zn over 0.55 m and 0.34% Zn over 2.25 m. Local copper anomalies were also obtained, with a maximum of 0.34% Cu over 0.85 m and a broader interval of 0.15% Cu over 5.9 m. There appears to be zonation from south to north from dominantly zinc to copper to gold across an overall discontinuous mineralized width of approximately 29 meters in the central part of the zone.

Stripped Area 2:

Target: Grab sample of 5 cm quartz vein which returned values of 300 g/t Ag, 0.93 g/t Au, 0.54% Pb and 0.19% Zn.

Results: No significant channel sampling results were obtained. An additional grab sample of the veining earlier in the season returned a previously unreported value of 125 g/t Ag with 0.43 g/t Au and 0.18% Pb.

Stripped Area 3:

Target: 70 ppb Au soil sample.

Results: A zone of altered volcanic rocks intruded by three subparallel porphyry sills was uncovered. One interval returned 0.56 g/t Au, 0.55% Zn and 0.23% Pb over 1.3 meters, including 0.91 g/t Au, 0.78% Zn and 0.33% Pb over 0.73 meters, within the volcanic rocks. An additional interval within the volcanic rocks returned 0.11 g/t Au over 1.8 meters, and an interval within one of the QFP sills returned 0.16 g/t Au over 1.0 meters.

Stripped Area 4:

Target: 0.21 g/t Au grab sample.

Results: A zone of altered volcanic rocks and quartz sericite schist intruded by a QFP sill was uncovered, similar in appearance to the 111 Zone. One channel sample near the porphyry returned 0.20 g/ Au over 0.8 m. However, approximately 30 m further to the southeast, altered volcanic rocks returned 0.13 g/t Au and 0.7% Zn over 4.3 meters including 0.30 g/t Au and 3.1% Zn over 0.8 meters. Trace element results are pending for about half of the channel samples at this stripped area.

Stripped Area 5:

Target: Grab sample of quartz sericite schist which returned 0.21 g/t Au with 1.34% Zn and 0.36% Pb.

Results: A zone of altered mafic to intermediate volcanic rocks and quartz sericite schist was uncovered. One grab sample of a 1-2 cm veinlet of massive pyrite returned 2.9 g/t Au. One channel sample returned 0.12 g/t Au over 0.95 meters. Several samples returned anomalous zinc and lead results, with intervals including: 0.28% Zn & 0.11% Pb over 1.1 m; 0.97% Zn & 0.06% Pb over 1.0 m; and 0.19% Zn & 0.11% Pb over 2.45 m.

Stripped Area 6:

Target: 301 ppb Au soil anomaly.

Results: A sheared intermediate intrusive / porphyry unit was uncovered, at least 5 meters in width. One sample of quartz flooded material with 1-2% pyrite along a narrow shear returned 0.12 g/t Au. In light of knowledge gained at the 111 Zone, the margins of the intrusive unit should be stripped back further up the hill to the southeast to determine if there is a gold zone on the flank of the intrusive, which may be responsible for the soil anomaly.

Stripped Area 7:

Target: 647 ppb Au soil anomaly.

Results: A zone of strongly sheared mafic / intermediate fragmental rocks was uncovered, intruded by a <1 m folded intermediate intrusive dike with sparse potassic stringers containing minor chalcopyrite. No significant channel sample results were obtained. However, following the channel sampling program, subcrop of QFP was discovered approximately 10-15 meters across strike to the southeast and slightly uphill from the stripped area. This area should be further stripped to expose any potential gold zone flanking the porphyry unit, which may be responsible for the gold anomaly. Trace element results are pending from the channel sampling.

Stripped Area 8:

Target: Grab sample of quartz sericite schist which returned 0.41 g/t Au and 1.5% Cu.

Results: A zone of sheared quartz sericite schist was uncovered. A channel sample of the original showing returned 0.5 g/t Au over 0.1 m, but otherwise there were no significant channel sample gold results. Trace element results are pending.

Bruce MacLachlan, president and COO of Bold Ventures, said of the results: ‘The mechanical stripping and channel sampling program uncovered broad, widespread gold and base metal mineralization and gave us a better understanding of the geological controls on mineralization. The program set us up for a second phase of stripping before year-end followed by a first phase of drilling this winter. We are in the early days of exploring a major, previously unexplored mineralizing system with no known drillholes that appears to stretch at least 3 km on the property and may extend past the western boundary of the property. We are excited to drill the first ever drillholes into this system and see what we come up with.’

QAQC Protocols

Rock samples were collected, documented and photographed in the field, then placed in sealed bags and delivered to Activation Laboratories (ActLabs) in Thunder Bay, which is an ISO / IEC 17025 accredited laboratory. Rock sample collection is subject to Bold’s internal quality assurance / quality control (QAQC) protocols, which include the insertion of blank material and certified reference material into each batch of grab samples submitted, and at regular sampling intervals in the case of channel samples. Sample duplicates were also collected of channel samples at regular intervals. Rock samples referenced in this news release were analyzed using ActLabs methods 1A2-50, a 50g fire assay with atomic absorption finish, and 1F2, a total digestion with ICP-OES finish for trace elements.

Rio Silver Inc. (TSX-V: RYO | OTC: RYOOF ) (‘ Rio Silver ‘ or the ‘ Company ‘) is pleased to announce that its Peruvian subsidiary, Rio Plata S.A.C., has acquired the Santa Rita Pb-Zn-Ag Property, a highly prospective exploration target with extensive historical workings and strong silver-lead-zinc showings in Central Peru.

A representative sample has been submitted for metallurgical testing, which is now underway. Historical work completed by previous operators has guided Rio Silver’s internal evaluation, and the Company will provide further disclosure as the metallurgical review advances toward completion.

Santa Rita was secured through a closed-bid auction for USD $130,000.00, a process that grants the winner a clear and unencumbered title. Rio Plata was the successful bidder and is now proceeding through Peru’s standard title confirmation process, expected to take approximately two to three months. The property comprises 570 hectares and lies within one of Peru’s richest mineral belts.

Strategic Location in a Premier Silver Belt

Santa Rita is situated approximately 200 km ESE of Lima, with road access from two directions and in close proximity to significant regional silver-lead-zinc operations. The project is located:

• 55 km northwest of Rio Silver’s flagship Maria Norte Au-Ag-Pb-Zn Project , and
• 14 km southwest of Kuya Silver’s producing Bethania Mine (TSX-V: KUYA) .

This corridor hosts a concentration of long-life underground operations, carbonate-replacement deposits (‘CRDs’), and active processing capabilities, making it one of the most productive polymetallic regions in Peru.

Geology and Historical Work

Extensive exploration was conducted at Santa Rita by Inca Minerals between 2016 and 2020 under an option agreement that was subsequently relinquished due to rising underlying payments—not geological limitations. Following non-payment of annual taxes, the area reverted to the state in 2024 and became available for new application in mid-2025, at which point Rio Plata secured it.

Historical work identified Santa Rita as a Carbonate Replacement Deposit (CRD) system characterized by:

• 20+ steeply dipping east-west veins ,
• Intersecting shallow-dipping mantos

Two priority zones were highlighted—Humaspunco East and Humaspunco South—with mineralization hosted within carbonate sequences.

A Strengthened District-Scale Vision

‘Santa Rita sits in the same mineralized corridor as our principal Maria Norte Project, and its acquisition meaningfully expands our footprint within what we see as an emerging silver district in Central Peru,’ said Chris Verrico, President and CEO of Rio Silver. ‘Securing this project through a clean, closed-bid process gives us 100% ownership with no underlying royalties or option obligations, which aligns perfectly with the disciplined approach we are taking across our portfolio. The reported high-grade CRD veins currently being confirmed by our field team reinforce the near-term development potential we are targeting, and Santa Rita adds another important building block as we advance our strategy to establish Rio Silver as a pure-play silver developer in one of the world’s most prolific jurisdictions.’

Next Steps for Rio Silver

• Pending Approval of Maria Norte Acquisition: The Company looks forward to announcing the formal closing of the Maria Norte transaction upon TSX Venture Exchange approval, which will enable immediate commencement of planned fieldwork and early development activities.

• Metallurgical Testing Underway: A representative sample from the Santa Rita Project is currently undergoing metallurgical evaluation, and the Company anticipates providing an update as the review advances toward completion.

• Near Term Development Pathway: Preparations are underway for initial onsite work programs including camp installation, portal access upgrades, and explosives permitting. These steps support Peru’s established exploration and exploitation model and allow development to advance alongside exploration and resource definition.

• Infrastructure and Cost Advantages: Both Maria Norte and Santa Rita benefit from proximity to multiple regional processing facilities within trucking distance, providing an opportunity to advance high grade silver assets quickly and at comparatively lower capital intensity.

• Strong Exploration and Market Tailwinds: With high grade CRD and vein systems identified across both projects and further target refinement underway, the Company is positioned to advance exploration in a period of record high silver prices and tightening global supply, creating meaningful upside exploration potential as work progresses expediently.

Why This Matters to Investors

The addition of Santa Rita further positions Rio Silver at the center of one of Peru’s most prospective silver-lead-zinc regions. The project offers:

• High-grade CRD mineralization with strong Ag-Pb-Zn values,
• Low-entry cost and 100% ownership with no royalties,
• Road access and proximity to producing mines and processing centers,
• Geological continuity with the mineralized belt hosting Maria Norte,
• A scalable platform for district-wide growth with synergies between projects.

Together with Maria Norte, the addition of Santa Rita accelerates Rio Silver’s evolution into a pure play, district focused silver developer in one of the world’s premier silver jurisdictions. These assets establish a foundation with meaningful exploration upside and clear pathways for near term advancement.
