TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / March 2, 2026 / NextSource Materials Inc. (TSX:NEXT,OTC:NSRCF)(OTCQB:NSRCF) (‘NextSource’ or the ‘Company’) announces that it has entered into a binding agreement (the ‘Agreement’) with Syrah Resources Limited (‘Syrah’) for the supply of natural graphite fines for NextSource’s planned battery anode facility (‘BAF’) in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (‘UAE’).

Under the terms of the Agreement, NextSource will source a minimum of approximately 34,000 tonnes and up to 68,000 tonnes of natural graphite fines in total over a seven-year period, with annual committed and optioned volumes subject to specific conditions precedent being satisfied.

These conditions include the commencement of commercial production at NextSource’s BAF in the UAE and successful qualification and final approval of the use of Syrah’s graphite by NextSource and it’s downstream offtake customer. Pricing is expected to be determined quarterly and by referencing an independently reported natural graphite fines price index, with adjustments for product grade and shipping costs.

If the conditions have not been satisfied or waived by December 31, 2026, Syrah may terminate the Agreement without liability. If the conditions have not been satisfied or waived by December 31, 2027, NextSource may terminate the Agreement without liability.

Strategic Rationale

This Agreement forms part of NextSource’s broader supply chain strategy to establish diversified feedstock sources for its planned downstream anode facilities. The Company believes this approach, taking into account feedstock from its Molo Graphite Mine in Madagascar (‘Molo’), both derisks operations and enhances operational flexibility to support the ramp-up and potential expansion of the UAE BAF.

The Company has been stockpiling SuperFlake® concentrate from Molo and has ample inventory to fulfil the volumes of anode active material (‘AAM’) required under its binding offtake with Mitsubishi Chemical well into 2028. The Mitsubishi Chemical offtake agreement is for the supply of approximately 9,000 tonnes per annum (‘tpa’) of AAM over a multi-year period.

NextSource continues to evaluate other third-party feedstock sources while prioritizing the use of SuperFlake® graphite concentrate from Molo as the primary and preferred feedstock source for the UAE BAF.

This additional feedstock flexibility is particularly important in light of the Company’s February 5, 2026 announcement of a letter of intent with a second major Japanese anode material producer. If finalized, this would further increase expected demand for AAM from the UAE BAF. When combined with the Mitsubishi Chemical offtake agreement, these customer commitments are expected to fully utilize and potentially exceed the planned Phase 1 production capacity of the UAE BAF, reinforcing the importance of establishing multiple qualified feedstock sources to underpin future expansion of the UAE BAF.

Hanré Rossouw, President and CEO of NextSource, commented:

‘This agreement strengthens our long‑term strategy to build a resilient and diversified supply chain for our Abu Dhabi BAF. While Molo remains our primary and preferred feedstock, securing optionality with high‑quality third‑party material enhances our flexibility as we scale production to meet growing demand for anode active material. It is a disciplined step that supports both our near‑term ramp‑up and our broader growth ambitions.’

Syrah Resources is an Australian Securities Exchange listed industrial minerals and technology company that owns and operates the Balama Graphite Operation in Mozambique and an active anode material facility in the United States.

About NextSource Materials Inc.

Gains ownership and control over one of the largest, strategically located, prolific geologic environments for critical and precious metals in Quebec, Canada

Nuvau Minerals Inc. (TSXV: NMC,OTC:NMCPF) (the ‘Company’ or ‘Nuvau’) has achieved a significant milestone on the road toward a production restart at its flagship Matagami Property. The Company has completed the acquisition (the ‘Earn-In Transaction’), from Glencore Canada Corporation (‘Glencore Canada’), of interests in certain properties comprising the Matagami mining camp (collectively, the ‘Property’), located in the Abitibi region of central Québec, Canada, pursuant to a second amended and restated earn-in agreement dated January 28, 2026 among the Company, Nuvau Minerals Corp. (the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, ‘Nuvau Corp.’) and Glencore Canada (the ‘Earn-In Agreement’).

‘This landmark achievement marks a major step toward our goal of the restart of mining operations at the Matagami property,’ said Peter van Alphen, Nuvau’s CEO. ‘It reflects both our team’s unwavering commitment and the strong support behind our project. We are now eager to continue to build on our exploration momentum while advancing the technical and economic studies required to deliver a robust restart plan for our critical mineral assets.’

The Matagami mining camp is a 1,379-square-kilometre exploration and mining property, one of the largest in Canada, and is strategically located in a prolific geological environment for both critical and precious metals.

The Matagami Property
Located in the northern Abitibi, the Matagami Property is comprised of 2,389 titles, including 1,237 square kilometres of exploration claims and 4.5 square kilometres of mining rights property. This includes the past-producing:

• Bracemac-McLeod mine, which is still permitted and has key infrastructure in place
• Perseverance mine, with potential for shallow remnant and mineralization extension.

When combined with Nuvau’s existing 138 square kilometres of exploration claims, this land package is one of the largest mining and exploration properties in Eastern Canada.

https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/11236/285928_f65c88b214607901_002full.jpg

The transaction excludes the property rights related to the Matagami Lake Processing Plant and the current Tailing Storage Facility, for which Nuvau has a 24-month right such rights from Glencore Canada.

Since entering into the earn-in agreement with Glencore in 2022, Nuvau has established a track record of success on the property, including the:

• Discovery of gold mineralization within the Bracemac Mine in July 2025;
• Discovery of gold anomalies in till in May 2025;
• Acquisition of the Thundermine property in 2024;
• Extension of mineralization at the past-producing McLeod Cu-Zn deposit in 2024;
• Discovery of the Renaissance Cu-Zn Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide (VMS) in 2023.

In addition, Nuvau demonstrated the economic potential of a near term production restart at the Matagami property with the Preliminary Economic Analysis (PEA) it published in 2023. The Company intends to update this PEA in 2026 to include additional geological and technical information as well as current commodity prices ahead of a Pre-Feasibility Study planned for 2027. The PEA leverages existing mine, processing and transportation infrastructure within the Matagami camp, all in close proximity to the town of Matagami at the heart of the northern Abitibi.

The Earn-In Transaction
In connection with the completion of the Earn-In Transaction:

• Nuvau Corp. incurred an aggregate of $30,000,000 in exploration, development and related expenditures on the Property on or before March 25, 2025.
• Glencore retained a 2% net smelter returns (‘NSR’) royalty on the Property, subject to an aggregate maximum NSR royalty of 3.5% inclusive of existing royalties on any mining claim, pursuant to a royalty agreement entered into between Glencore Canada and Nuvau Corp.

As per the terms of the Earn-In Agreement, within 60 days of the closing of the Earn-In Transaction, Nuvau Corp. will also be required to pay Glencore Canada (i) $5,000,000 in cash, and (ii) an additional $5,000,000 payable in cash, common shares of the Company (‘Common Shares‘), or a combination thereof at Nuvau Corp.’s election, subject to required stock exchange and other regulatory approvals and provided that any share issuance does not result in Glencore having beneficial ownership of more than 9.9% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares immediately following issuance.

For a period of 24 months following the closing of the Earn-In Transaction, Nuvau will also retain the right to acquire certain excluded property (including the Matagami Lake Processing Plant and Tailings Storage Facility) from Glencore Canada for a payment of $5,000,000 (payable in cash, Common Shares, or a combination thereof), subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and regulatory requirements, all as more particularly described in the Earn-In Agreement.

For more information regarding the Earn-In Transaction, please refer to the Earn-In Agreement, a copy of which has been filed and is available on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) under the Company’s issuer profile.

Quimbaya Gold Inc. (CSE: QIM,OTC:QIMGF) (OTCQX: QIMGF) (FSE: K05) (‘Quimbaya’ or the ‘Company’) reports the completion of drone-based magnetic and radiometric surveys covering approximately 800 hectares of the Tahami Center concession. The survey area includes zones where geological reconnaissance and sampling have identified features interpreted as potentially associated with a porphyry-style copper system. These features define a prospective surface trend of approximately 3.1 km by 1.3 km.

Highlights

• High magnetization vector intensity (MVI) anomalies show two subvertical zones dipping to the southeast. These are interpreted to be porphyry intrusions. They coincide with the mapped porphyry-style potassic alteration and veining with anomalous Cu, Au and Mo geochemistry.

• A MVI low anomaly on the SE side coincides with the mapped lithocap in which alteration is magnetite-destructive.

• Magnetic anomalies interpreted to be associated with a porphyry intrusive suite extend over approximately 3.1 km in length and 1.3 km in width, with a dominant northwest-southeast orientation (Figure 1).

• Pad locations for the maiden drilling program at the Tahami Center target area will be defined following the completion and integration of soil, rock and stream sediment geochemical assay results, detailed geological mapping, and preliminary 3D geological – geophysical modeling. This work is expected to be finalized this month.

‘The work completed to date at Tahami continues to strengthen our confidence in the exploration potential of the project,’ said Alexandre P. Boivin, CEO of Quimbaya Gold. ‘This survey materially strengthens our technical thesis at Tahami Center. We are seeing a large, coherent subsurface magnetic system that aligns with mapped surface mineralization and alteration. That level of consistency supports advancing confidently toward drill testing as we define our initial targets.’

‘The presence of well-developed porphyry-style veinlets at surface is considered significant in the context of the Company’s exploration model for a porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum system,’ stated Ricardo Sierra, B.Sc., MAusIMM, Vice President Exploration and Qualified Person. ‘Geophysical cross-sections and a plan view at approximately -700 meters in elevation (Figure 2) demonstrate a spatial correlation between the mapped surface porphyry-style mineralization and a projected subsurface magnetic high identified in the recently completed airborne magnetic survey. These magnetic anomalies may reflect zones of increased magnetite content, which in porphyry systems can be associated with potassic alteration. This interpretation is conceptual in nature and has not yet been confirmed by drilling. Confirmation will require diamond drilling and the integration of pending radiometric survey, soil and rock geochemical assay results.’

Detailed geological mapping has identified an area interpreted as a preserved lithocap in the east – southeastern portion of the mining concession. This zone spatially coincides with low magnetic susceptibility values observed in the MVI survey. The reduced magnetic response is interpreted to reflect magnetite destruction associated with intense advanced argillic alteration. This alteration is locally associated with quartz vein systems in which gold, silver, and copper mineralization has been identified through surface sampling.
