Harmony Gold Mining (NYSE:HMY,JSE:HAR) announced that it has approved development of its Eva Copper project in Queensland after completing an updated feasibility study, with an estimated capital of US$1.75 billion across a three-year window.

The South African miner said Monday (November24) that its board signed off on the Final Investment Decision for the Eva copper project, a 100-percent-owned project in northwest Queensland expected to deliver high margins and a long operating life.

Harmony plans to build a low strip-ratio open-pit mine capable of producing about 65,000 metric tons of copper concentrate annually during its first five years, with an average life-of-mine profile of roughly 60,000 metric tons of copper and 19,000 ounces of gold per year over an estimated 15-year span.

The mine will process about 18 million metric tons of ore per year and carry an all-in sustaining cost of approximately US$2.50 per pound.

CEO Beyers Nel said the feasibility results confirm the company’s shift toward a balanced gold-and-copper portfolio.

“The Eva Copper Feasibility Study delivers a strong, high-confidence outcome that positions Harmony for the next phase of growth as we continue building a high-quality, low-cost portfolio,” he said.

Nel also tied Eva Copper to Harmony’s expanding strategy, pointing to the company’s recently completed MAC Copper acquisition.

“Eva Copper, together with our recent MAC Copper acquisition, creates a compelling platform that brings together the enduring value of gold with the future-facing strength of copper, enhancing cash flow resilience across commodity cycles,” he said.

Last month, Harmony completed its US$1.01 billion acquisition of MAC Copper, giving the company full ownership of the high-grade CSA copper mine in New South Wales.

The company said the purchase builds on its strategic push to strengthen its copper position in Tier-1 jurisdictions. It also expects its two major Australian copper assets to deliver a combined 100,000 metric tons of copper annually once fully commissioned.

Meanwhile, the Eva Copper project was acquired by the company in October 2022 and has since completed 166,000 metres of drilling. The current two-million-metric-ton copper resource underpins the potential for future extensions to the mine’s life.

Harmony anticipates first production in the second half of 2028, a timeline it says aligns with a structural deficit in copper supply that could support stronger prices.

Board approval moves the project into the execution phase. Mobilization to site is expected in the third quarter of fiscal 2026, subject to amendments to the project’s Environmental Authority.

Canada One Mining Corp. (TSXV: CONE) (OTC Pink: COMCF) (FSE: AU31) (‘Canada One’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to provide an exploration update following the Phase 2 exploration program conducted at its 100% owned Copper Dome Project, (‘Copper Dome’, ‘Project’ or ‘Property’), Princeton B.C.

2025 FIELD PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

  • Crews established 53 field stations with full metadata across the property, systematically documenting geological observations to contextualize mineral showings in relation to property-scale and regional geology.
  • A total of 29 rock samples were collected during the first phase of exploration and have been delivered to the laboratory for analysis.
  • Copper sulphides, including bornite and chalcopyrite, were observed in several rock samples. Assay results are pending.
  • Key alteration assemblages observed are indicative of proximity to porphyry centers.

Peter Berdusco, President and CEO of the Company commented: ‘We are thrilled with the Phase 2 exploration work, which identified numerous samples containing visible copper sulphide minerals. The Friday Creek zone emerged as a standout area of interest, and additional work is planned to further evaluate its mineralization footprint and potential within the broader Copper Dome system. Observing bornite in hand sample is a strong indicator of potential porphyry systems, and the project’s proximity to the Copper Mountain Mine only strengthens the geological narrative. The visible copper mineralization and potassic alteration signatures observed in these samples provide Canada One with a solid foundation to advance exploration and refine its 2026 objectives at the Copper Dome project.’

Exploration Summary

Crews completed the Phase 2 field program at the Copper Dome Project, with a primary focus on visiting historic MINFILE occurrences and applying modern exploration insight to reassess legacy data and descriptions. All documented MINFILE locations were successfully visited, and 53 field stations were collected with full metadata at each site. A total of 29 rock samples were submitted for analysis at ALS Geochemistry – Kamloops, and the Company expects an approximate four-week turn around on results. Historic workings and related infrastructure were mapped, documented, and georeferenced, with access conditions recorded for each location (See Figure 1).

The Company is encouraged by early field observations, which include chalcopyrite stringers, mineralized breccia cement, and bornite clots and stringers (see Figures 2-4).

The Friday Creek Zone, located on the western portion of the claim block, hosts strong potassic alteration and visible chalcopyrite and bornite mineralization, commonly occurring with little to no pyrite. Alteration across the zone is similarly encouraging, with moderate to strong K-feldspar and biotite alteration commonly observed near the copper sulphides. This alteration and mineralization assemblage is a recognized indicator of prospective porphyry copper systems, suggesting that the outcrop may lie within the system’s central potassic zone.

The discovery of in-situ bornite at the Friday Creek zone is extremely encouraging. Bornite is a copper-bearing sulphide mineral (chemical formula Cu₅FeS₄, containing ~63% copper by mass), and its presence is commonly associated with proximity to porphyry centers. Bornite was observed across an approximate 150 m by 150 m area, highlighting a meaningful footprint of a high-temperature potassic zone and demonstrating strong potential for a porphyry system near surface. At Friday Creek, alteration was mapped over a vertical extent of roughly 100 meters, extending downslope to the valley bottom, where the strongest alteration intensity was recorded.

Bornite at the Friday Creek Zone occurs in several styles. A diorite unit was observed with moderate intensity K-feldspar alteration surrounding bornite stringers exhibiting an internally brecciated texture. The K-feldspar may represent an alteration envelope around the chaotic bornite vein swarm (See Figure 2).

The company intends to undertake a comprehensive interpretation of the initial field observations, integrating lithological, alteration, and mineralization data to refine the current geological setting.

A follow-up field program is scheduled to commence in Q2 2026, with objectives focused on delineating alteration zonation patterns, sulphide mineral distribution, and the structural controls on mineralization. Detailed petrographic and geochemical analyses will be employed to better constrain the relationship between the observed hydrothermal alteration assemblages and the inferred porphyry center at the Copper Dome Project. These efforts are expected to enhance the company’s understanding of the system’s geometry and vectoring potential, thereby guiding future drilling and exploration targeting.

All rock samples collected from the fall 2025 fieldwork program are pending and were submitted to ALS Geochemistry – Kamloops to be analysed for gold and platinum group elements (50 g fire assay), and multi-element geochemistry, including elements Cu, Pb, Zn, Co, and Ag (method ME-MS61).

Rio Silver Inc. (TSX-V: RYO | OTC: RYOOF ) (‘ Rio Silver ‘ or the ‘ Company ‘) is pleased to provide a corporate update outlining ongoing operational preparations and strategic initiatives as the Company advances toward becoming a high-grade silver producer in Peru, the world’s second-largest silver-producing nation.

Over recent weeks, Company President Chris Verrico, in-country Peruvian Project Manager and Geologist Miller Fernandez, Logistics Manager José Peña and Principal Geological Consultant Edgar Leon, completed a detailed site visit to the Maria Norte Au-Ag-Pb-Zn Project. The team confirmed the scope, sequencing, and logistical requirements to fast-track development work immediately upon regulatory approval of the pending acquisition.

Operational Highlights

  • Development Program Ready to Launch: Field team completed a full development review at Maria Norte, confirming immediate sequencing and readiness to begin work upon Exchange approval of the acquisition.
  • Infrastructure and Portal Access Advancing: Preparations underway for high-altitude camp construction, laydown areas, portal-access upgrades, and drift/tunnel advancement along known mineralized structures.
  • Permitting and Community Agreements Progressing: Explosives permitting and final stakeholder access agreements are advancing positively within one of Peru’s most established silver-producing regions.
  • Leveraging Peru’s Proven Development Model: The Company is adopting Peru’s exploration/exploitation framework, enabling mineral generation while concurrently establishing underground drill platforms for resource definition.
  • Evaluating Additional District-Scale Opportunities: Management has identified several silver-dominant targets within trucking distance that may offer accretive district-scale growth potential.

‘Rio Silver is laying the foundation for what we believe can become one of Peru’s next high-grade silver operations,’ said Chris Verrico, President and CEO. ‘Our recent technical review confirmed the strength of the mineralized structures at Maria Norte and validated our plan to advance a rapid, efficient development model. With strong local support, a skilled in-country team, and a well-funded treasury, we are moving with purpose toward unlocking the full potential of this emerging silver district. We see a tremendous opportunity ahead—not only at Maria Norte, but across the broader belt where we continue to evaluate additional high-grade prospects.’

Royalties and Additional Strategic Interests

Rio Silver also benefits from a suite of long-term royalty and equity interests that strengthen the Company’s financial position and provide meaningful, non-dilutive value as it advances its core Peruvian portfolio.

The Company currently receives approximately US$150,000 per year in advanced royalty payments, forming a stable baseline of recurring revenue. In addition, the sale of the Niñobamba project to Magma Silver Corp. provides Rio Silver with milestone payments exceeding US$2 million , along with 2,500,000 common shares of Magma Silver and a further 2,500,000 shares on the first anniversary of approval ( see news release here ). Magma Silver Corp. last traded at $0.20 per share as of market close on November 24, 2025, underscoring the tangible value of this equity exposure. Rio Silver also retains a 2% NSR royalty on Niñobamba, complementing the 3% capped NSR royalty held from the Company’s former Palta Dorada interests.

Beyond its Peruvian assets, Rio Silver maintains ownership of a highly prospective critical-metals project in Ontario’s Ring of Fire, one of Canada’s most important emerging mineral districts. A 2012 airborne EM survey conducted by Fugro identified one of the strongest electromagnetic anomalies ever recorded by the firm—an indicator of significant subsurface potential. Historical drilling by INCO in the 1970s intersected encouraging geology but was never advanced due to non-technical circumstances of the era. Today, Rio Silver continues to engage positively with local First Nations communities as it evaluates the long-term potential of this strategically located asset.

Why This Matters to Investors

Peru remains one of the world’s most important silver jurisdictions, hosting multiple long-life underground mines and well-established infrastructure. Rio Silver is advancing a strategy centered on:

  • High-grade, high-margin silver mineralization in a district with proven production potential.
  • A rapid development model that allows for resource delineation and mineral generation concurrently—an approach widely used in Peru.
  • Proximity to established processing facilities , reducing potential future capital requirements.
  • A district-scale vision , with additional prospective acquisitions under evaluation.
  • A tight, aligned shareholder base and a strengthened treasury to support near-term catalysts.

As global silver demand accelerates—driven by industrial electrification, AI-related infrastructure, renewable energy, and precious-metal investment—Rio Silver is positioning itself as a pure-play developer with meaningful leverage to rising silver markets.

Engagement With Leading Communications Firm Caram Media
Partnering with Caram Media strengthens Rio Silver’s commitment to disciplined growth, clear market communication, and strong alignment with shareholders as the Company advances its near-term development strategy in one of the world’s most historically productive silver belts.

Galen Carson, President of Caram Media, commented: ‘We’re excited to partner with Rio Silver as they advance one of the most compelling emerging silver stories in Peru. Our team looks forward to helping bring this remarkable opportunity to the broader market with clarity, precision, and the strategic focus it deserves. It’s an inspiring project with tremendous energy behind it, and we’re thrilled to support the next phase of Rio Silver’s journey.’

Saga Metals Corp. (‘SAGA’ or the ‘Company’) (TSXV: SAGA,OTC:SAGMF) (OTCQB: SAGMF) (FSE: 20H) a North American exploration company advancing critical mineral discoveries, is pleased to announce the completion of its first 3 holes (R-0008 to R-0010) of the 2025-2026 mineral resource estimate drill program focusing on the high-priority Trapper Zone at its 100%-owned Radar Titanium-Vanadium-Iron (‘Ti-V-Fe’) Project located near Cartwright, Labrador.

Highlights (see Cross-section N-11 in Figure 1 below)

  • R-0008 delivered an impressive 156 m of continuous gabbronorite with semi-massive to massive oxide,
  • R-0009 confirmed the same unit as well as extended it by another 165 m with increasing oxide content.
  • Additionally, substantially all the remaining intersections were within layered gabbronorite with intercumulus oxide mineralization. Intercumulus oxides crystallize from late, residual melt that becomes trapped in the pore spaces between the cumulus silicate minerals during formation of the gabbronorite layers.

A Total Magnetic Intensity (TMI) anomaly from the 2025 ground survey delineated an apparent fold structure in the Trapper North Zone. Two diamond drill holes along drill section N-11 were placed to test the crest of the fold trace. Substantially all of the diamond drill holes R-0008 (272 m length) and R-0009 (299 m length) are in heavy oxide mineralization, with about half the length in semi-massive to massive oxides.

The 2025 Trapper Zone drilling employs down-hole tools to provide oriented diamond drill core, enabling the reconstruction of the true 3D orientation of geological structures. It is essential for structural geology, geotechnical assessment, and accurate geological modelling — especially in complex magmatic systems like layered mafic intrusions. Preliminary structural logging of R-0008 and R-0009 indicates an open, north-plunging antiform with limbs of moderate to steep-dipping gabbronorite layers.

Saga

Figure 1: Map of Cross-section N-11, containing drill holes R-0008 & R-0009, highlighting the intercepts of heavy oxide mineralization.

Drill Program Details

The complete cross section through the nose of the fold in Trapper North has shown impressive continuity as R-0008 (156 m of semi-massive to massive oxide) was extended by an additional 165 m following the same unit with drill hole R-0009.

  • R-0008 (Azimuth 38°, Dip -45°): The first drill hole (R-0008) concentrated on drilling through what is believed to be a large fold of the oxide layering in Trapper North. Drill holes are collard (Azimuth 38°, Dip -45°) to intercept the Northwest trending 77-to-85-degree dipping oxide layering at the best perpendicular angle. Placed along section to capture true width of oxide layering of the south limb, the hole will additionally yield data on the fold and structures associated with the northern Limb.
  • R-0009 (Azimuth 38°, Dip -45°) : The second drill hole (R-0009) concentrated on drilling through the remainder of the believed fold as started by R-0008. The drill hole was collard (Azimuth 38°, Dip -45°) to intercept the northern limb of the fold and to complete the cross-section started with R-0008.
  • R-0010 (Azimuth 0°, Dip -45°) : The third drill hole (R-0010) was drilled off the same drill pad as R-0009 to verify the best and most appropriate angle for drilling the northern limb of the fold. Additionally, this hole acted as a control for understanding the axial planar fault which runs W-E through the fold, as well as understanding the true width of northern limb and the contact of the layering.

Next Steps

Drill has continued with R-0011 already sitting at a depth of 200 m down hole. Drill hole R-0011 lies 100 m east along section of R-0009 & R-0010 and is already adding extensive strike to the semi-massive to massive oxide layering observed in the area.

Following the completion of R-0011, the drill will move to Trapper South where a full cross section is planned to follow the same 38-degree section alignment as R-0008 & R-0009. With the same concept of the first 4 holes in the North, drilling in the south will concentrate on a section across the magnetic anomalies comprising of ~4 drill holes to allow Saga’s geological team to best understand and plan for the remainder of the mineral resource estimate drill program that will continue in Q1 of 2026.

Saga

‘We couldn’t have scripted a better start to our maiden drill program at the Trapper Zone,’ commented Michael Garagan, CGO & Director of Saga Metals. Hole R-0008 delivered an impressive 156 m of continuous semi-massive to massive oxide, and when we stepped out to R-0009 we not only confirmed the same unit but extended it another 165 m with ever-increasing magnetite content. To now have three completed holes highlighting an exceptional continuity of the oxide layering is an outstanding validation of our geological model. The team is genuinely thrilled with these early results and eager to keep the drill turning as we step east along strike in R-0011 and then move south to replicate this success across the full 3+ km Trapper oxide trend.’

Drill Program Objectives:

The Phase 1 Trapper Zone drill campaign will target:

  • Grade continuity across a 3 km strike length.
  • Oxide layering widths and continuity to true depths of about 200 meters below surface.
  • Integration of structural insights from trenching and drilling into collar orientation and drill design.
  • Initial drilling of 1,500-2,500 m in 6-10 holes, each about 250 m in depth will be completed before the December break.
  • Test both the North and South sections of the Trapper zone prior to the seasonal break in order to fully define grades, widths and structures prior to initiating the detailed grid and drill sections in 2026, leading to a mineral resource estimate.
  • Drilling will be complemented by metallurgical sampling through the winter, with core from both the Hawkeye and Trapper zones undergoing detailed metallurgical testing.

The Trapper Trail (in black) will be the target of the planned 15,000 m diamond drilling program aimed at establishing Saga’s maiden mineral resource estimation.

The Radar Property spans 24,175 hectares and hosts the entire Dykes River intrusive complex (about 160 km²), which is a unique position among Western explorers. Geological mapping, geophysics, and trenching have already confirmed oxide layering across more than 20 km of strike length, with mineralization open for expansion.

Vanadiferous titanomagnetite (‘VTM’) mineralization at Radar is comparable to global Fe–Ti–V systems such as Panzhihua (China), Bushveld (South Africa), and Tellnes (Norway), positioning the Project as a potential strategic future supplier of titanium, vanadium, and iron to North American markets.

Saga Metals Corp. (‘SAGA’ or the ‘Company’) (TSXV: SAGA,OTC:SAGMF) (OTCQB: SAGMF) (FSE: 20H) a North American exploration company advancing critical mineral discoveries, is pleased to announce the completion of its first 3 holes (R-0008 to R-0010) of the 2025-2026 mineral resource estimate drill program focusing on the high-priority Trapper Zone at its 100%-owned Radar Titanium-Vanadium-Iron (‘Ti-V-Fe’) Project located near Cartwright, Labrador.

Highlights (see Cross-section N-11 in Figure 1 below)

  • R-0008 delivered an impressive 156 m of continuous gabbronorite with semi-massive to massive oxide,
  • R-0009 confirmed the same unit as well as extended it by another 165 m with increasing oxide content.
  • Additionally, substantially all the remaining intersections were within layered gabbronorite with intercumulus oxide mineralization. Intercumulus oxides crystallize from late, residual melt that becomes trapped in the pore spaces between the cumulus silicate minerals during formation of the gabbronorite layers.

A Total Magnetic Intensity (TMI) anomaly from the 2025 ground survey delineated an apparent fold structure in the Trapper North Zone. Two diamond drill holes along drill section N-11 were placed to test the crest of the fold trace. Substantially all of the diamond drill holes R-0008 (272 m length) and R-0009 (299 m length) are in heavy oxide mineralization, with about half the length in semi-massive to massive oxides.

The 2025 Trapper Zone drilling employs down-hole tools to provide oriented diamond drill core, enabling the reconstruction of the true 3D orientation of geological structures. It is essential for structural geology, geotechnical assessment, and accurate geological modelling — especially in complex magmatic systems like layered mafic intrusions. Preliminary structural logging of R-0008 and R-0009 indicates an open, north-plunging antiform with limbs of moderate to steep-dipping gabbronorite layers.

Drill Program Details

The complete cross section through the nose of the fold in Trapper North has shown impressive continuity as R-0008 (156 m of semi-massive to massive oxide) was extended by an additional 165 m following the same unit with drill hole R-0009.

  • R-0008 (Azimuth 38°, Dip -45°): The first drill hole (R-0008) concentrated on drilling through what is believed to be a large fold of the oxide layering in Trapper North. Drill holes are collard (Azimuth 38°, Dip -45°) to intercept the Northwest trending 77-to-85-degree dipping oxide layering at the best perpendicular angle. Placed along section to capture true width of oxide layering of the south limb, the hole will additionally yield data on the fold and structures associated with the northern Limb.
  • R-0009 (Azimuth 38°, Dip -45°) : The second drill hole (R-0009) concentrated on drilling through the remainder of the believed fold as started by R-0008. The drill hole was collard (Azimuth 38°, Dip -45°) to intercept the northern limb of the fold and to complete the cross-section started with R-0008.
  • R-0010 (Azimuth 0°, Dip -45°) : The third drill hole (R-0010) was drilled off the same drill pad as R-0009 to verify the best and most appropriate angle for drilling the northern limb of the fold. Additionally, this hole acted as a control for understanding the axial planar fault which runs W-E through the fold, as well as understanding the true width of northern limb and the contact of the layering.

Next Steps

Drill has continued with R-0011 already sitting at a depth of 200 m down hole. Drill hole R-0011 lies 100 m east along section of R-0009 & R-0010 and is already adding extensive strike to the semi-massive to massive oxide layering observed in the area.

Following the completion of R-0011, the drill will move to Trapper South where a full cross section is planned to follow the same 38-degree section alignment as R-0008 & R-0009. With the same concept of the first 4 holes in the North, drilling in the south will concentrate on a section across the magnetic anomalies comprising of ~4 drill holes to allow Saga’s geological team to best understand and plan for the remainder of the mineral resource estimate drill program that will continue in Q1 of 2026.

‘We couldn’t have scripted a better start to our maiden drill program at the Trapper Zone,’ commented Michael Garagan, CGO & Director of Saga Metals. Hole R-0008 delivered an impressive 156 m of continuous semi-massive to massive oxide, and when we stepped out to R-0009 we not only confirmed the same unit but extended it another 165 m with ever-increasing magnetite content. To now have three completed holes highlighting an exceptional continuity of the oxide layering is an outstanding validation of our geological model. The team is genuinely thrilled with these early results and eager to keep the drill turning as we step east along strike in R-0011 and then move south to replicate this success across the full 3+ km Trapper oxide trend.’

Drill Program Objectives:

The Phase 1 Trapper Zone drill campaign will target:

  • Grade continuity across a 3 km strike length.
  • Oxide layering widths and continuity to true depths of about 200 meters below surface.
  • Integration of structural insights from trenching and drilling into collar orientation and drill design.
  • Initial drilling of 1,500-2,500 m in 6-10 holes, each about 250 m in depth will be completed before the December break.
  • Test both the North and South sections of the Trapper zone prior to the seasonal break in order to fully define grades, widths and structures prior to initiating the detailed grid and drill sections in 2026, leading to a mineral resource estimate.
  • Drilling will be complemented by metallurgical sampling through the winter, with core from both the Hawkeye and Trapper zones undergoing detailed metallurgical testing.

The Trapper Trail (in black) will be the target of the planned 15,000 m diamond drilling program aimed at establishing Saga’s maiden mineral resource estimation.

The Radar Property spans 24,175 hectares and hosts the entire Dykes River intrusive complex (about 160 km²), which is a unique position among Western explorers. Geological mapping, geophysics, and trenching have already confirmed oxide layering across more than 20 km of strike length, with mineralization open for expansion.

Vanadiferous titanomagnetite (‘VTM’) mineralization at Radar is comparable to global Fe–Ti–V systems such as Panzhihua (China), Bushveld (South Africa), and Tellnes (Norway), positioning the Project as a potential strategic future supplier of titanium, vanadium, and iron to North American markets.

Noble Mineral Exploration Inc.

Toronto, Ontario November 25, 2025 TheNewswire – Noble Mineral Exploration Inc. ( ‘Noble’ or the ‘Company’ ) (TSX-V:NOB, FRANKFURT: NB7, OTCQB:NLPXF) is pleased to announce the acquisition through map staking of a rare earth element (‘REE’) enriched system on its Chapiteau Property located 100 kilometers south of the Strange Lake and B-Zone deposits and 38 kilometers northeast of the Crater Lake Scandium-Rare Earth resource.  The Labrador property consists of 25 map staked units for a total of approximately 647 hectares (Figure 1 and 2).

Figure 2: Geology and anomalous samples on the Chapiteau Property (Adapted from Reference 2)

The property covers ground explored by Midland Exploration Inc (Midland) in 2010/2011.  During this time, Midland, completed a 3,143-line-kilometer airborne magnetic and radiometric survey that identified several new exploration targets for REEs.  With the results of the airborne survey, the Midland team prospected and sampled the exposed portions of these magnetic and radiometric anomalies. Regionally, the results from selected samples from 81 rock outcrops and locally derived and mineralized boulders returned very high values of up to 8.34% rare earth element oxides (TREOs), including yttrium. The proportion of heavy rare earth element oxides (HREOs) ranged from 2.29% to 12.85% HREO for samples containing more than 0.5% TREO. Analysis of individual REEs yielded significant results up to 8.22% cerium oxide (Ce2O3), 3.38% lanthanum oxide (La2O3), 3.39% neodymium oxide (Nd2O3), 0.66% yttrium oxide (Y2O3), 0.96% praseodymium oxide (Pr2O3), 0.19% dysprosium oxide (Dy2O3), and 0.35% gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3).

Regionally, the best concentrations of mineralization are associated with iron oxides nested in pegmatite-aplite dikes and plurimetric iron oxide clusters disseminated in an intrusion interpreted as an alkaline granite. Grab samples from twenty-six new mineralized areas returned values ranging from 1.02% to 8.34% TREO. The alkaline granite hosting this mineralization manifests itself as an airborne magnetic anomaly 9 kilometers in diameter.

On the property recently staked by Noble, six grab samples greater than 0.5% TREO were located by Midland.  They ranged from 1.40 to 3.02% TREO with:

  • 0.29 to 0.79% lanthanum oxide (La2O3),

  • 0.60 to 1.48% cerium oxide (Ce2O3

  • 0.06 to 0.14% praseodymium oxide (Pr2O3)

  • 0.23 to 0.45% neodymium oxide (Nd2O3),

  • 0.02 to 0.10% yttrium oxide (Y2O3)

  • 0.006 to 0.02% dysprosium oxide (Dy2O3)

  • 0.02 to 0.03% gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3)

A series of channel samples and one diamond drill hole (Y3-11-04) were completed on the Chapiteau property in 2011. (see Fig 3, 4 and 5).

Drill hole Y3-11-04 was aimed at the CP North Showing. The hole intersected a grey-pink coarse grained alkaline granite with 2-3% disseminated iron oxides and amphiboles. A total of 29 samples varying in length from 1 to 1.5 meter were collected. All collected samples returned anomalous TREO + Y2O352 values averaging 0.14% TREO + Y2O3 ranging from 0.11 to 0.19% TREO + Y2O3. The best assay results returned 0.13% TREO + Y2O3 over 7.5m from 25.0 to 32.5 meters, 0.14% TREO + Y2O3 over 12.0 m from 38.0 to 50.0 meters and 0.16% TREO + Y2O3 over 7.5 m from 64.0 to 71.5m.

Noble Mineral Exploration Inc.

Toronto, Ontario November 25, 2025 TheNewswire – Noble Mineral Exploration Inc. ( ‘Noble’ or the ‘Company’ ) (TSX-V:NOB, FRANKFURT: NB7, OTCQB:NLPXF) is pleased to announce the acquisition through map staking of a rare earth element (‘REE’) enriched system on its Chapiteau Property located 100 kilometers south of the Strange Lake and B-Zone deposits and 38 kilometers northeast of the Crater Lake Scandium-Rare Earth resource.  The Labrador property consists of 25 map staked units for a total of approximately 647 hectares (Figure 1 and 2).

The property covers ground explored by Midland Exploration Inc (Midland) in 2010/2011.  During this time, Midland, completed a 3,143-line-kilometer airborne magnetic and radiometric survey that identified several new exploration targets for REEs.  With the results of the airborne survey, the Midland team prospected and sampled the exposed portions of these magnetic and radiometric anomalies. Regionally, the results from selected samples from 81 rock outcrops and locally derived and mineralized boulders returned very high values of up to 8.34% rare earth element oxides (TREOs), including yttrium. The proportion of heavy rare earth element oxides (HREOs) ranged from 2.29% to 12.85% HREO for samples containing more than 0.5% TREO. Analysis of individual REEs yielded significant results up to 8.22% cerium oxide (Ce2O3), 3.38% lanthanum oxide (La2O3), 3.39% neodymium oxide (Nd2O3), 0.66% yttrium oxide (Y2O3), 0.96% praseodymium oxide (Pr2O3), 0.19% dysprosium oxide (Dy2O3), and 0.35% gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3).

Regionally, the best concentrations of mineralization are associated with iron oxides nested in pegmatite-aplite dikes and plurimetric iron oxide clusters disseminated in an intrusion interpreted as an alkaline granite. Grab samples from twenty-six new mineralized areas returned values ranging from 1.02% to 8.34% TREO. The alkaline granite hosting this mineralization manifests itself as an airborne magnetic anomaly 9 kilometers in diameter.

On the property recently staked by Noble, six grab samples greater than 0.5% TREO were located by Midland.  They ranged from 1.40 to 3.02% TREO with:

  • 0.29 to 0.79% lanthanum oxide (La2O3),

  • 0.60 to 1.48% cerium oxide (Ce2O3

  • 0.06 to 0.14% praseodymium oxide (Pr2O3)

  • 0.23 to 0.45% neodymium oxide (Nd2O3),

  • 0.02 to 0.10% yttrium oxide (Y2O3)

  • 0.006 to 0.02% dysprosium oxide (Dy2O3)

  • 0.02 to 0.03% gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3)

A series of channel samples and one diamond drill hole (Y3-11-04) were completed on the Chapiteau property in 2011. (see Fig 3, 4 and 5).

Drill hole Y3-11-04 was aimed at the CP North Showing. The hole intersected a grey-pink coarse grained alkaline granite with 2-3% disseminated iron oxides and amphiboles. A total of 29 samples varying in length from 1 to 1.5 meter were collected. All collected samples returned anomalous TREO + Y2O352 values averaging 0.14% TREO + Y2O3 ranging from 0.11 to 0.19% TREO + Y2O3. The best assay results returned 0.13% TREO + Y2O3 over 7.5m from 25.0 to 32.5 meters, 0.14% TREO + Y2O3 over 12.0 m from 38.0 to 50.0 meters and 0.16% TREO + Y2O3 over 7.5 m from 64.0 to 71.5m.

Exploration Program Targets Near-Mine Ounce Growth

Fortune Bay Corp. (TSXV: FOR,OTC:FTBYF) (FWB: 5QN) (OTCQB: FTBYF) (‘Fortune Bay’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce that exploration drilling has commenced on multiple high-priority exploration targets at its 100%-owned Goldfields Gold Project (‘Goldfields’ or the ‘Project’) in northern Saskatchewan.

The targets include opportunities for resource expansion at the Box and Athona deposits, and potential for the addition of new resources from underexplored historical occurrences at Frontier, Golden Pond, and Triangle ­— all within two kilometres of past-producing and expected future mine infrastructure (Figure 1).

An initial 17 exploration holes (3,250 metres) are planned with provision to expand the program in a results-driven manner. The exploration drilling will be carried out in conjunction with development-related drilling, supporting advancement of Goldfields to Pre-Feasibility Study, as described in the Company’s recent News Release.

Gareth Garlick, VP Technical Services for Fortune Bay, commented ‘We have initiated drilling within three weeks of closing our financing, demonstrating the pace at which we intend to advance the Project. Goldfields is already positioned as a robust development asset in Canada’s top mining jurisdiction, with work toward pre-feasibility and permitting in progress. Our exploration program is designed to unlock additional near-mine ounces that could further strengthen Goldfields’ exceptional economics and improve the overall development profile.’

Box Deposit – High-Grades Open at Depth

The Box deposit is wide open at depth. The Company’s 2021 drilling confirmed high-grades extending up to 240 m beyond the extents of the current open-pit constrained Mineral Resource Estimate (‘MRE’) (Figure 2), including:

  • 13.22 g/t Au over 8.0 m from 426.0 to 434.0 m (drill hole B21-340)
  • 8.74 g/t Au over 5.0 m from 575.0 to 580.0 m (drill hole B21-339)
  • 8.00 g/t Au over 12.0 m from 509.0 to 521.0 m (drill hole B21-336)
  • 8.00 g/t Au over 4.0 m from 375.0 to 379.0 m (drill hole B21-334)

Four initial drill holes (2,000 m) are planned to test and infill large gaps (up to 170 m) in the existing drill hole coverage outside of the MRE to test for extensions to high-grade zones with underground mining potential.

Gold mineralization occurs in sheeted and stockwork quartz–sulphide veins within the Box Mine Granite (‘BMG’), controlled by N-S and NW-SE trending structures. The Box Deposit currently hosts an open-pit constrained mineral resource including 734,300 oz Indicated (16.2 Mt @ 1.41 g/t), and 114,100 oz Inferred (3.4 Mt @ 1.04 g/t) (effective date September 11, 2025).

Athona Deposit – Near-Pit Resource Expansion Potential

Mineral resources at Athona are hosted entirely within the Athona Mine Granite (‘AMG’). The outcropping Athona West Mine Granite (‘AWMG’) is located immediately west of the AMG and displays gold mineralization similar in style to the AMG, but has not seen sufficient drilling to support estimation of mineral resources (Figure 3).

Two initial drill holes (270 m) are planned with the dual purpose of testing mineralization continuity in the AWMG and testing an underlying extension of the AMG below the AWMG. This target is located directly adjacent to, and partially overlapping, the Athona open-pit designed in the Updated PEA and has potential to cost-effectively add mineral resources with limited delineation drilling.

Gold mineralization at Athona occurs as stacked quartz–sulphide vein arrays controlled by NNE-trending structures. The Athona Deposit (AMG) currently hosts an open-pit constrained mineral resource including 255,400 oz Indicated (7.8 Mt @ 1.02 g/t) and 100,100 oz Inferred (4.0 Mt @ 0.78 g/t) (effective date September 11, 2025).

Exploration Drilling at Underexplored Historical Gold Occurrences

The Frontier, Golden Pond, and Triangle occurrences — all located within two kilometres of past-producing and expected future mine infrastructure — represent opportunities to define new mineralized zones that could ultimately contribute additional gold ounces to future Mineral Resource Estimates, thereby enhancing the overall scale and optionality of the Goldfields Project. The 2025/2026 exploration drilling program has been designed to test the size potential and continuity of shallow mineralized systems at these targets. Results from this work will be used to prioritize areas for follow-up delineation drilling, with the objective of advancing the most compelling opportunities in a cost-effective and timely manner.

Frontier – Located 800 metres northwest of the Box Deposit, the mineralized Frontier Mine Granite (‘FMG’) forms a 10–25 metre thick tabular body striking ENE–WSW and dipping gently to the SSE, similar in style to the Box Mine Granite. Historical work indicates that most mineralization occurs within a topographic high (outcropping to ~25 metres depth), which could provide a favourable strip ratio should a mineral resource be defined. Three initial drill holes (340 metres) are planned test for down-dip extensions of historically identified mineralization.

Golden Pond – Historical drilling at Golden Pond returned near-surface gold mineralization, with the vein system interpreted to remain open to the northwest. Six initial holes (440 metres) are planned to confirm historical results and to evaluate both along-strike and down-dip extensions of the mineralized structure.

Triangle – Triangle hosts a broad quartz-vein system that has returned surface grab samples up to 177 g/t gold from recent fieldwork. Unlike the granite-hosted targets at Box, Athona, Frontier, and Golden Pond, mineralization at Triangle occurs within less-resistant calcareous bedrock and is often masked by overburden. Historical drilling was limited and did not appropriately test the interpreted vein orientation.

Two initial drill holes (200 metres) will be completed to properly evaluate the target and assess continuity of the mineralized system both along strike and down dip.

Technical Disclosure

Current Drilling and Sampling Results

The Box 2021 (‘B21’) and 2022 (‘B22’) drill holes were oriented at moderate dips (-55 to -60 degrees) to the east to intersect the dominant mineralized vein-sets at high angles, and true thicknesses are estimated to be approximately 80% of the intersected lengths. Drill results shown are assays from 1 metre samples of half-cut NQ core composited into longer intervals using a minimum lower cut-off of 0.5 g/t Au, and maximum 5 metres of consecutive waste defined as < 0.3 g/t Au.

Surface sample results from Triangle derive from grab samples collected by hand from outcrop. Grab samples are selective in nature and are not necessarily representative of the overall mineralization at the occurrence.

Historical Results

Historical exploration results for Golden Pond and Frontier, that are being used to plan exploration holes, derive from assessment reports 74N08-0150 and 74N07-0315, respectively. These reports and supporting datasets are available for download from the Saskatchewan Mineral Assessment Database (‘SMAD’). Accordingly, historical results have not been verified and there is a risk that any future confirmation work and exploration may produce results that substantially differ from the historical results. The Company considers historical results relevant to assess the mineralization and economic potential of the property.

Mineral Resource Estimate

The Mineral Resource Estimate for Box and Athona is provided in the technical report titled ‘Goldfields Project Updated NI 43-101 Technical Report & Preliminary Economic Assessment, Saskatchewan, Canada‘, dated October 20, 2025, prepared by Kevin Murray, P.Eng.; Scott C. Elfen, P.E.; James Millard, P.Geo.; Jonathan Cooper, P.Eng.; Marc Schulte, P.Eng.; Cliff Revering, P.Eng.; and Ron Uken, Pr.Sci.Nat. for Fortune Bay Corp.

Laurion Mineral Exploration Inc.

Toronto, Ontario November 25, 2025 TheNewswire – Laurion Mineral Exploration Inc. (TSX.V: LME | OTC: LMEFF) (‘LAURION’ or the ‘Corporation’) is pleased to announce encouraging results from its 7,700-metre Summer 2025 drill exploration program at the 100%-owned Ishkõday Project, located 220 km northeast of Thunder Bay in Greenstone, Ontario. The first five drill results were announced in the Corporation’s press releases dated August 19, 2025 and September 23, 2025, respectively, which targeted the high-grade gold-bearing vein systems of the Sturgeon River Mine area. Reference is also made to the Corporation’s press releases dated September 5, 2025, May 27, 2025 and May 8, 2025.

The reported drill holes below, LME25-063, LME25-064, LME25-065 and LME25-066, total 1,806 m. The holes were designed to evaluate the northeast extension of the mineralized system at the historic Brenbar Mine, with hole LME25-063, and then stepping out to the northeast of the Brenbar historic mine shaft targeting the untested M50 Quartz vein series with further drill holes.

Highlights of Drill Holes LME25-063, LME25-065 and LME25-066

  • LME25-063        0.7 m @ 2.67 g/t Au from 139.50 m to 140.20 m;

  • LME25-063        0.5 m @ 1.26 g/t Au from 393.40 m to 393.90 m;

  • LME25-065        0.50 m @ 1.78 g/t Au from 91.10 m to 91.60 m;

  • LME25-065        1.80 m @ 0.95 g/t Au from 149.60 m to 151.40 m, including: 0.80 m @ 1.90 g/t Au from 150.60 m to 151.40 m;

  • LME25-065        0.50 m @ 1.32 g/t Au from 292,30 m to 292.80 m;

  • LME25-066        1.50 m @ 1.02 g/t Au from 272,50 m to 274.00 m; and

  • LME25-066        0.70 m @ 2.42 g/t Au and 1.90 Au/t from 389.0 m to 389.70 m.

While these results represent the early stages of testing in a geologically complex corridor, their significance lies in extending our knowledge of mineralization continuity between the historic Brenbar and Sturgeon River Mine areas, ‘ stated Cynthia Le Sueur-Aquin, President and CEO of LAURION. ‘This is the first time drilling has been completed across this untested structural corridor, and it is yielding valuable geological insight with oriented core, that will guide the next phase of our exploration program. Our focus remains on defining the broader mineralized system that links multiple historic mine zones, ultimately positioning Ishkōday as a district-scale gold and base metal opportunity.’

Sampling and QA/QC Protocols

All drill core is transported and stored inside the core facility located at the Ishkõday Project in Greenstone, Ontario. LAURION employs an industry standard system of external standards, blanks and duplicates for all of its sampling, in addition to the QA/QC protocol employed by the laboratory. After logging, core samples were identified and then cut in half along core axis in the same building and then zip tied individually in plastic sample bags with a bar code. Approximately five or six of these individual bags were then stacked into a ‘rice’ white material bag and stored on a skid for final shipment to the laboratory.

All core samples were shipped to the ALS facility in Thunder Bay, Ontario, which were then prepared by ALS Global Geochemistry in Thunder Bay and analyzed by ALS Global Analytical Lab in North Vancouver, British Columbia. Samples are processed by 4-acid digestion and analyzed by fire assay on 50 g pulps and ICP-AES (InductivelyCoupledPlasma – AtomicElement-Spectroscopy). Over limit analyses are reprocessed with gravimetric finish.

A total of 5% blanks and 5% standard are inserted randomly within all samples. 5% of the best assay result pulps were sent for re-assays. All QAQC were verified, and no contamination or bias have been observed. The remaining half of the core, as well as the unsampled core, is stored in temporary core racks at the core logging facility in Beardmore and moved to the core storage facility at the Ishkõday Project.
