(TheNewswire)

January 27th, 2026 TheNewswire Muskoka, Ontario Steadright Critical Minerals Inc. (CSE: SCM,OTC:SCMNF) (‘Steadright’ or the ‘Company’), a resource exploration company focused on near-term production announces a Letter of Intent (LOI) with a first right of refusal to acquire up to 60% of SilverLine Mining Sarl, a Moroccan company with a binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on a Licensed Mineral Claim property which is the License Holder of # 3843117 in the Regional Mining Area of Errachidia within the Kingdom of Morocco.  

LOI Terms

Steadright’s non-binding LOI with SilverLine Mining Sarl has up to a three-month Due Diligence (DD) period before a definitive agreement. The definitive agreement will give 5,500,000 Common Shares of Steadright to the owner of Mining License # 3843117 for up to 60% SilverLine Mining Sarl. The Mining License holder will retain 25% carried cost with SilverLine retaining 75% of the Mining Claim that currently holds an existing Mining License. This is an arm’s length transaction and the non-binding LOI was signed on January 26th, 2026.

Geology

The SilverLine property is located in the Regional Mining Area of Errachidia within the Eastern High Atlas Haute Moulouya plateau and is widely recognized as part of the Moulouya lead metallogenic province. Based on the February 21, 2022 report, ‘ETUDE GEOLOGIQUE DU PROJET MINIER OBJET DU PERMIS D’EXPLOITATION, POLYMÉTALLIQUE À BARYTINE, FLUORINE ET PLOMB’  by Kharmouch Sahar,  mineralization is structurally controlled in a system tightly linked to NE/SW-oriented faults and fractures that affect the basement, the lower part, and the cover rocks. These structures create a highly fractured zone where lead, fluorite, and barite mineralization occurs are concentrated. According to ONHYM, 30% of global silver production comes from lead–zinc mines, and Morocco’s silver often occurs as a by‑product in Pb–Zn districts.

Newly granted patent represents a foundational innovation, engineered to deliver high-yield, low-cost, and ultra-pure synthetic fuels, including eSAF

Syntholene Energy Corp. (TSXV: ESAF) (FSE: 3DD0) (‘Syntholene’ or the ‘Company’) announces the issuance of its first U.S. Patent granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the ‘USPTO’) for the Company’s proprietary system for producing high-performance, low-cost, and carbon-neutral synthetic fuels.

This patent, No. US 12,441,674 B2, protects critical intellectual property underlying the Company’s novel Compact Cascade Oligomerizer, engineered for high efficiency fuel synthesis performance using the Methanol-to-Jet process. The design is a unitary vessel with multiple chambers incorporated into a single column, as opposed to current proposed systems that use multiple separate and single purpose reactors to produce saturated linear hydrocarbon chains via methanol synthesis, oligomerisation and hydrogenation in sequence.

The newly granted patent, titled ‘SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING SYNTHETIC FUEL,’ secures Syntholene’s rights to a fuel generator and a method for generating fuel in which a Monolithic Block includes a plurality of plates stacked and bonded together. This represents a foundational innovation for delivering high-yield, low-cost, and ultra-pure synthetic fuels, including sustainable aviation fuel (eSAF).

‘This patent represents a major milestone for Syntholene as we continue to de-risk and protect our next-generation platform for industrial-scale synthetic fuel production,’ said Dan Sutton, CEO of Syntholene. ‘It reinforces our leadership in proprietary, high-efficiency process design, and strengthens our commercial moat as we continue to refine our process components and enhance the efficiency of our integrated supply chain.’

‘We are proud that the USPTO has recognized this novel approach to high level integration of discrete systems into an efficient unitary solution.’ Said Syntholene Chief Engineer John Kutsch. ‘This patent represents Syntholene’s unique process intensification approach to high-efficiency systems integration.’

This intellectual property covers core reactor architecture and process integration within the Company’s integrated fuel synthesis systems. It describes a key technology designed to maximize fuel yield and product purity from syngas inputs while minimizing unwanted byproducts typical in legacy fuel synthesis reactor systems, and employs the physical proximity of exothermic and endothermic reactions within the same unit to maximize heat integration and utilization.

Syntholene continues to pursue patent protection across North America, Europe, and Asia to secure its differentiated IP position ahead of commercial-scale deployments.

About Syntholene

Syntholene is actively commercializing a new production pathway for low-cost clean fuel synthesis. The target output is ultrapure synthetic jet fuel, manufactured at 70% lower cost than the nearest competing technology. The Company’s mission is to deliver the world’s first truly high-performance, low-cost, and carbon-neutral synthetic fuel at an industrial scale.

Founded by experienced operators across advanced energy infrastructure, nuclear technology, low-emissions steel refining, process engineering, and capital markets, Syntholene aims to be the first team to deliver a scalable modular production platform for cost-competitive synthetic fuel, thus accelerating the commercialization of carbon-neutral efuels across global markets.

TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / January 27, 2026 / Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSXV:LG,OTC:LGCXF)(OTCQB:LGCXF)(FSE:Y2F) (the ‘Company‘ or ‘Lahontan‘) is pleased to announce new assay results from our 2025 Phase Two drilling program at the Company’s flagship Santa Fe Mine Project located in Nevada’s prolific Walker Lane. Lahontan has received analytical results for two additional reverse-circulation rotary (‘RC’) drill holes in the south Slab pit area totaling 396 metres (please see table below). Significant results include:

• CAL25-011R: 68.6 metres (45.7 – 114.3m) grading 0.45 g/t Au Eq including 16.8 metres (65.5 – 82.3m) grading 0.81 g/t Au Eq: A shallow, thick, intercept of oxide gold mineralization below the current mineral resource pit shell*, expanding the footprint of oxide gold mineralization, especially when coupled with the results from CAL25-012R (please see plan map of drilling and cross section below).

  • When the entire drill hole is composited without regard to cutoff grade, it averages 0.23 g/t Au Eq over 213.4 metres (0.21 g/t Au, 1.4 g/t Ag).

• CAL25-012R: 41.2 metres (32.0 – 73.2m) grading 0.32 g/t Au Eq correlating with the structurally controlled gold mineralization seen in hole CAL25-011R (above) and extending shallow oxide gold mineralization to the southwest and below of the Mineral Resource Estimate (‘MRE’) pit shell*.

Notes: Au Eq equals Au (g/t) + ((Ag g/t/60)*0.70). Silver grade for calculating Au Eq is adjusted to consider historic metallurgical recovery as described in the Santa Fe Project Technical Report*. True thickness of the intercepts is estimated to be 80-100% of the drilled interval. Numbers may not total precisely due to rounding.

Kimberly Ann, Lahontan Executive Chair, President, CEO, and Founder commented: ‘The assay results from the final two 2025 RC drill holes at Slab continue to extend gold mineralization to the south, west, and at depth from the current MRE pit shell*, enhancing the potential mining economics of the Slab gold and silver resource. Lahontan will integrate these new drill holes into an updated MRE for Slab as well as the entire Santa Fe project. The MRE is expected to be completed in the coming months. With a new MRE, combined with updated metallurgy and escalating metal prices, the Company will also complete an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (‘PEA’) as well. More 2025 drill results will be forthcoming as the analytical lab catches up on a busy 2025 exploration season.’

CAL25-011R and -012R are particularly important as they establish large volumes of gold and silver mineralization below and adjacent to the conceptual pit shell used in the current MRE. When modeled using updated metal prices and this additional drilling, these drill holes have the potential to significantly expand the Slab area MRE and contribute to a positive update to the current PEA. Of equal importance, these new pit shells will be used in our Nevada State and Federal mine permit applications, to be submitted later this year.

Cross section through RC drill hole CAL25-011R, Slab gold deposit, Santa Fe Mine project, NV. The current conceptual MRE pit shell is shown in black, an example of a potential new pit outline is shown in red. Deeper gold mineralization in CAL25-011R associated with the Calvada Fault zone is unconstrained by drilling.

These two RC drill holes also confirm the strong structural control of gold mineralization in this portion of the Slab deposit and emphasize the importance of the east-west striking Calvada fault as a major control of gold mineralization on a district scale. The extensive gold mineralization seen in CAL25-011R demonstrates the strength of the hydrothermal system with large volumes of disseminated gold mineralization adjacent to the controlling fault structures. With the Company’s recently approved Exploration Plan of Operations (‘EPOO’), Lahontan can now explore the Calvada Fault between the Slab deposit and the main Santa Fe deposit, an area that has seen virtually no exploration drilling over the last 35 years.

In the plan view map of the south Slab pit area below, the key intercepts in drill holes CAL25-011R and -012R can be seen to extend into areas west of the current MRE conceptual pit shell. Previously reported RC drill hole CAL25-010R, a vertical hole, also intercepted significant gold mineralization (please see Lahontan Gold press release dated January 13, 2026). Similar to the cross section above, the plan map highlights the potential to increase gold and silver resources in the Slab pit area of the Santa Fe Mine project.

QA/QC Protocols

Lahontan conducts an industry standard QA/QC program for its core and RC drilling programs. The QA/QC program consisted of the insertion of coarse blanks and Certified Reference Materials (CRM) into the sample stream at random intervals. The targeted rate of insertion was one QA/QC sample for every 16 to 20 samples. Coarse blanks were inserted at a rate of one coarse blank for every 65 samples or approximately 1.5% of the total samples. CRM’s were inserted at a rate of one CRM for every 20 samples or approximately 5% of the total samples.

The standards utilized include three gold CRM’s and one blank CRM that were purchased from MEG, LLC of Lamoille, Nevada (formerly Shea Clark Smith Laboratories of Reno, Nevada). Expected gold values are 0.188 g/t, 1.107 g/t, 10.188 g/t, and -0.005 g/t, respectively. CRM’s with similar grades are inserted as the initial CRM’s run out. The coarse blank material comprised of commercially available landscape gravel with an expected gold value of -0.005 g/t.

As part of the RC drilling QA/QC process, duplicate samples were collected of every 20^th sample interval at the drill rig to evaluate sampling methodology. Samples were collected from the reject splitter on the drill rig cyclone splitter. Samples were collected at each 95- to 100-foot (28.96 – 30.48m) mark and labeled with a ‘D’ suffix on the sample bag. No duplicates were submitted for core.

All drill samples were sent to American Assay Laboratories (AAL) in Sparks, Nevada, USA for analyses. Delivery to the lab was either by a Lahontan Gold employee or by an AAL driver. Analyses for all RC and core samples consisted of Au analysis using 30-gram fire assay with ICP finish, along with a 36-element geochemistry analysis performed on each sample utilizing two acid digestion ICP-AES method. Tellurium or 50-element analyses were performed on select drill holes utilizing ICP-MS method. Cyanide leach analyses, using a tumble time of 2 hours and analyzed with ICP-AES method, were performed on select drill holes for Au and Ag recovery. AAL inserts their own blanks, standards and conducts duplicate analyses to ensure proper sample preparation and equipment calibration. We have all results reported in grams per tonne (g/t).

Highlights from this release include:

• Drilling has significantly expanded the known mineralized footprint of magmatic sulphide mineralization associated with the basal portions of the Saturday Night intrusion.
• The newly identified PGE-Ni-Cu mineralized envelope, measuring approximately 800m by 200m, remains open in all directions.
• SN-25-03-X (extension) intersected 14.44m of 0.61 g/t 3E PGE (3E PGE = Pt + Pd + Au) & 0.13% Cu, including 4.64m of 1.24 g/t 3E PGE & 0.21% Cu, and including 0.60m of 2.45 g/t 3E PGE & 0.30% Cu.
• SN-25-04 intersected 10.33m of 0.38 g/t 3E PGE & 0.17% Cu, including 6.39m of 0.45 g/t 3E PGE & 0.18% Cu, and including 0.62m of 0.99 g/t 3E PGE & 0.34% Cu.
• SN-25-05 intersected 10.75m of 0.76 g/t 3E PGE & 0.18% Cu, including 5.05m of 1.40 g/t 3E PGE & 0.31% Cu, and including 1.03m of 1.98 g/t 3E PGE & 0.29% Cu.

Transition Metals Corp. (TSXV: XTM,OTC:TNTMF) (‘Transition’, ‘the Company’), is pleased to disclose assay results from drilling completed in December 2025 at its 100%-owned Saturday Night PGE Project, located approximately 30 kilometres north of Thunder Bay, Ontario (see news release dated November 10, 2025). The program saw the extension of hole SN-25-03-X beyond the basal contact, plus the addition of two new holes (SN-25-04 and SN-25-05), totaling a combined 1,463 metres. All holes intersected broad intervals of PGE-Ni-Cu mineralization occurring along the basal contact of the Saturday Night layered intrusion.

Commenting on the results, CEO Scott McLean stated, ‘We are very encouraged by the thick sequences of differentiated Mid-Continental Rift (MCR) intrusion we have drilled at Saturday Night, with the growing footprint of the mineralizing system we are defining. We see similarities to the proximal phases to the higher-grade sequences we previously encountered at our nearby Sunday Lake discovery, where historic drilling in 2019 returned values including 41.20m of 5.51 g/t 3E PGE and 0.57% Cu, including a higher-grade interval of 8.30m of 13.06 g/t 3E PGE and 1.23% Cu in hole SL-19-26. These results reinforce our interpretation that Saturday Night represents a large, fertile magmatic system and further supports its potential to host higher-grade mineralization similar to that identified at Sunday Lake.’

Discussion of Drill Results

Drilling to date has significantly expanded the known footprint of mineralization associated with a large, layered MCR intrusive, hosting PGE-Cu-Ni mineralization along basal contacts. Select highlight assay intervals from recent drilling are contained in Table 1, with Table 2 containing drill collar information. A Property location map in Figures 1 and a North-South drill hole section depicted in Figure 2.

Drill hole SN-25-03 was designed in an earlier exploration program in 2025 as a larger down-dip step-out, however was terminated at a depth of 830-metres, before being able to reach the ultramafic series and basal contact, where mineralization was anticipated (see news release dated March 26, 2025). This hole, after extension to a depth of 942 metres (drill hole extension; SN-25-03-X), and intersected a broad PGE mineralized sequence occurring along the basal contact.

*Note: 3E PGE = (Pt + Pd + Au), Copper equivalent (CuEq) values are based on assumed SPOT metal prices as of Jan 19th, 2026, using US$5.9088/lb Cu, US$8.2282/lb Ni, US$4,678.29/oz Au, US$2,380.50/oz Pt and US$1,886.50/oz Pd. No current or historical metallurgical work, nor economic analysis, has been completed, and therefore recoveries are assumed to be 100%, with 100% payable metals. The use of CuEq values are conceptual in nature, and are intended for exploration comparison purposes only, and do not represent an economic analysis. Lengths reported represent core length, insufficient work has been completed to determine true widths.

The two additional in-fill drill holes, SN-25-04 and SN-25-05, were designed to test mineralization continuity along the basal contact between SN-25-03-X and the existing up-dip holes SN-16-01 and SN-25-02. Geological units encountered correlate well, and mineralization along the basal contact is consistent and interpreted to be continuous between holes.

In total, the Company has now completed five drill holes (inclusive of the extension hole describe above) for a total of 3,481 metres at Saturday Night. All holes have intersected a thick, layered intrusion containing extensive intervals of magmatic sulphides enriched in platinum, palladium, gold, copper, and nickel, with mineralization intensifying toward the basal contact. Combined, this new drilling expands the known mineralized footprint, now measuring approximately 800 metres by 200 metres and remains open in all directions.

Next Steps

The Company is actively expanding its understanding of the Saturday Night PGE-rich intrusion and is undertaking various studies and 3D modeling activities, including physical rock-property analysis, to better constrain geophysical inversion models. In the coming months, the Company is planning additional geophysical surveys and 3D modeling to enhance drill targeting.

About the Saturday Night Project

The Saturday Night Project, wholly owned by Transition Metals, comprises 63 staked mining claims situated in Fowler Township, located approximately 30 kilometres northwest of Thunder Bay, Ontario, within the Robinson Superior Treaty area. The project has year-round road access to a main highway and is close to infrastructure. The exploration work to date has confirmed that a magnetic anomaly found on the Property is linked to an underlying mafic-ultramafic intrusion (SNI), which is interpreted to have originated during the Proterozoic era and is associated with the renowned Midcontinental Rift (MCR).

The MCR is a geological feature that extends over 2,000 kilometres across the heart of North America. It formed around 1.1 billion years ago as the North American craton began to rift. Notably, the early stages of this rift (referred to as ‘early-rift’) are associated with the presence of mafic to ultramafic intrusive rocks that contain significant quantities of platinum group elements (PGEs). Nearby MCR related deposits include the Thunder Bay North and Sunday Lake deposit. The Sunday Lake deposit was discovered by Transition in partnership with Impala Platinum in 2013. Other rift related Ni-Cu and PGE-bearing systems include the Eagle deposit located in Michigan, and the Tamarack and Duluth deposits located in Minnesota. The Saturday Night Project is currently in the early exploration phase, with ongoing assessments aimed at determining the potential of the Property to host PGE mineralization of interest. The Property is subject to an underlying 1.0% Net Smelter Return royalty (see company press releases dated September 8, 2020).
