Trilogy Metals Inc. (NYSE American: TMQ) (TSX: TMQ) is a North American mineral exploration and development company focused on advancing high-grade copper and critical mineral assets in Alaska. The company operates through Ambler Metals LLC, a 50/50 joint venture with South32 Ltd., and is progressing one of the world’s most prospective undeveloped polymetallic districts.

Trilogy is uniquely positioned with exposure to copper, zinc, lead, cobalt, silver, and gold—commodities vital to global electrification and energy transition. Its vision is to responsibly develop the Ambler Mining District into a premier domestic source of critical minerals while delivering long-term value to shareholders and local communities.

The company is guided by values of trust, respect, integrity, and partnership, and works closely with Alaska Native stakeholders to advance its strategy in a sustainable and inclusive manner.

Projects

Arctic Project

The Arctic project is Trilogy’s flagship asset and one of the highest-grade known copper deposits in the world, with an average grade of approximately 5% copper equivalent. Located roughly 470 kilometers northwest of Fairbanks, Alaska, Arctic is a volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposit hosting copper, zinc, lead, gold, and silver. The project is at the feasibility stage and is currently undergoing permitting activities.

According to the 2023 Feasibility Study, Arctic will support a 10,000 tonne-per-day open-pit mining operation over a 13-year mine life. Based on long-term metal prices of $3.65/lb copper, $1.15/lb zinc, $1.00/lb lead, $1,650/oz gold, and $21.00/oz silver, the project demonstrates a pre-tax NPV8% of $1.5 billion and an IRR of 25.8%. After-tax, the NPV8% is $1.1 billion with a 22.8% IRR. At April 2025 spot metal prices, the after-tax NPV8% increases to $1.9 billion with a 31.1% IRR.

The project’s metallurgy supports high recoveries: 92.1% for copper, 88.5% for zinc, and 61.3% for lead. Life-of-mine payable production is projected to total 1.9 billion pounds of copper, 2.2 billion pounds of zinc, 335 million pounds of lead, 423,000 ounces of gold, and 36 million ounces of silver. Cash costs are expected to average $0.72 per pound of payable copper, with all-in costs estimated at $1.61 per pound.

Bornite Project

Located approximately 25 kilometers southwest of Arctic, the Bornite project is a large-scale carbonate replacement copper deposit with significant upside. According to the 2025 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), Bornite is expected to support a 6,000 tonne-per-day underground operation over a 17-year mine life, using re-purposed infrastructure from the Arctic Project.

Bornite contains an estimated 6.5 billion pounds of inferred copper. The PEA outlines pre-tax NPV8% of $552.1 million and IRR of 23.6%, with an after-tax NPV8% of $393.9 million and IRR of 20.0%, based on a copper price of $4.20/lb. Total payable copper production over the life of mine is projected at 1.9 billion pounds.

Bornite’s mineralization occurs in stacked, stratabound zones rich in chalcopyrite, bornite, and chalcocite. A subset of the South Reef zone offers high-grade underground mining potential, further enhancing Bornite’s future optionality.

Exploration Pipeline

The Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects span 471,796 acres and include more than 30 additional mineralized prospects beyond Arctic and Bornite. These lie along two geologically distinct and highly mineralized belts: the Ambler Schist Belt and the Bornite Carbonate Sequence.

The Ambler Schist Belt features multiple VMS-style prospects along its 100-kilometer strike length, including Sunshine, Snow, Nora, Shungnak, and BT. Neighboring deposits like Smucker (Teck) and Sun (Valhalla Metals) affirm the district’s regional potential. Ten of Trilogy’s VMS prospects have been drill tested with encouraging results.

Meanwhile, the Bornite Carbonate Sequence extends 16 kilometers along the Cosmos Hills and hosts additional targets such as Pardner Hill and Aurora Mountain. These zones show strong signs of copper and cobalt mineralization and were partially tested during the Kennecott era, suggesting significant room for expansion.

Together, these assets form the foundation of a multi-decade development and discovery platform in one of the most prospective undeveloped mining districts in North America.

Market Opportunity

Trilogy Metals is poised to benefit from long-term structural demand for copper and other critical minerals essential to electrification, energy infrastructure, and clean technologies. Copper, in particular, is expected to see major supply shortfalls due to underinvestment and accelerating demand from power grids, EVs, and data centers.

According to a Grand View Research report, the global copper market is projected to grow from $241.88 billion in 2024 to $339.95 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.5%, driven by the energy transition and rising infrastructure investments.

Trilogy’s Arctic and Bornite projects are strategically located in Alaska, a top-tier mining jurisdiction with strong permitting frameworks and growing federal and state-level support, including recent executive orders streamlining approvals for the Ambler Access Project. The company also maintains a $50 million shelf prospectus and an active $25 million ATM equity program to fund future development.

Leadership Team

Tony Giardini, President and Chief Executive Officer, leads Trilogy Metals with extensive executive experience in the mining industry. He previously served as President of Ivanhoe Mines Ltd., and as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at Kinross Gold Corporation. Earlier in his career, he held senior roles at Placer Dome Inc. and KPMG. Mr. Giardini is both a Chartered Professional Accountant and a Certified Public Accountant.

Elaine M. Sanders, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary, brings over 25 years of financial and accounting experience to Trilogy. She is responsible for the company’s financial reporting, compliance, and governance functions. Ms. Sanders has overseen multiple financings and exchange listings throughout her career. She holds a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Alberta and is both a Chartered Professional Accountant and Certified Public Accountant.

Iron Hills – Colorado, USA

The Iron Hills Project consists of 85 unpatented lode claims totaling 1,756 acres, held at 100% ownership and located within the Iron Hills / Powderhorn carbonatite complex, one of the premier carbonatite-alkaline systems in the United States. Adjacent to Teck Resources’ Iron Hill deposit, host to one of the country’s largest rare earth oxide and titanium deposits, the project spans two non-contiguous claim blocks positioned along mapped intrusive contacts, felsite porphyry boundaries, and carbonatite dike projections.

Canamera staked these claims in 2025 as part of its U.S. expansion strategy supported by Rangefront Mining Services, and they are pending approval by the BLM.

Schryburt Lake – Ontario, Canada

Through a Joint Venture Option Agreement, Canamera may earn up to a 90% interest in the Schryburt Lake Project, a multi-center carbonatite-hosted REE–Nb system defined by four priority targets: Blue Jay, Goldfinch, Blackbird, and Starling.

These prospects exhibit coincident thorium radiometric highs, coherent magnetic bodies, surface anomalies, and historical trenching. Together, they outline the potential for a vertically extensive and multi-center REE–Nb system. Planned work includes a ~1,000-meter heli-supported scout drilling program following permitting and community consultation.

Garrow – Ontario, Canada

The Garrow Project covers 2,182 hectares located 43 km north-northeast of North Bay and is accessible year-round with strong local infrastructure. Canamera holds an option to acquire a 100% interest in the property.

Regional geochemical datasets include 26 samples above 500 ppm REE across Ontario, and three of these high-value anomalies occur within the Garrow Township area, making it a compelling target for early-stage exploration, including property-wide soil sampling and geophysics to delineate initial drill targets.

Market Opportunity

Rare earth elements play a central role in high-growth industries including electric vehicles, wind turbines, robotics, high-performance electronics, defense systems, and medical imaging, underpinning global trends in electrification, automation, and advanced manufacturing. Their application in permanent magnets, optics and lasers, catalysts, and nuclear and medical technologies positions them as foundational materials for both industrial innovation and national security.

Global demand for rare earth elements is projected to triple—from 59,000 tonnes in 2022 to 176,000 tonnes by 2035—driven by rapid EV adoption and wind-power expansion, with supply expected to lag by up to 30%, according to McKinsey & Company. The global REE market, valued at $3.95 billion in 2024, is forecast to reach $6.3 billion by 2030 at a compound annual growth rate of approximately 8.6%, according to Grand View Research, reflecting a sustained and widening supply-demand imbalance that supports new project development.

China currently controls approximately 60% of global rare earth mining and about 90% of processing capacity, reinforcing persistent price volatility and supply-chain concentration that have been highlighted by historical export restrictions, environmental crackdowns, and geopolitical disruptions. In response, North American governments have accelerated initiatives to strengthen domestic critical-minerals supply chains, including $1 billion in U.S. Department of Energy funding opportunities and Canada’s C$1.5 billion Critical Minerals Infrastructure Fund. Together, these structural shortages, policy tailwinds, and long-term electrification trends underscore the strategic relevance of Canamera’s diversified rare earth portfolio across Brazil, the United States, and Canada.

LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) is a Canadian exploration and development company advancing the district-scale Swanson Gold Project in Québec’s prolific Abitibi Gold Belt and progressing toward the near-term restart of gold production at its wholly owned Beacon Gold Mill. The company’s strategy centers on consolidating strategic land packages—highlighted by its flagship Swanson Gold Project, a 160 km² district-scale property that includes several prospects rich in gold and critical metals previously held by Monarch Mining, Abcourt Mines, and Globex Mining. The company is leveraging its 100%-owned, fully permitted and recently refurbished Beacon Gold Mill to transition from explorer to near-term gold producer—a key inflection point that typically triggers a market re-rating, further bolstered by current rising gold market prices. By processing material from Swanson and offering custom milling to regional projects, LaFleur aims to generate cash flow with minimal capital outlay, targeting annual gold production of up to 15,000 to 20,000 ounces by early 2026.

LaFleur’s vision is to evolve into an intermediate gold producer by capitalizing on strong market conditions and Québec’s rich mining infrastructure. The location, in the world-class Abitibi Gold Belt, and its infrastructure advantage, positions LaFleur for regional consolidation, strategic partnerships, or acquisition interest. Its mission emphasizes efficient value creation through methodical exploration, low-cost asset advancement, and opportunistic acquisitions—including land and deposits from Monarch Mining, Abcourt Mines, and Globex Mining.

Québec ranks among the world’s top mining jurisdictions, offering access to flow-through capital and regulatory stability. LaFleur’s integrated strategy—combining exploration at Swanson, a permitted mill at Beacon, and potential custom milling agreements—supports a streamlined path to near-term production.

LaFleur Minerals is headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Projects

LaFleur Minerals’ operations focus on two strategically located assets in the Abitibi Gold Belt: the Swanson Gold Project and the Beacon Gold Mill and Mine. These projects leverage the region’s world-class mining infrastructure and high-grade gold potential to drive the company’s transition to production.

Swanson Gold Project

The Swanson Gold Project spans 16,600 hectares and hosts the Swanson, Bartec, and Jolin gold deposits along a major structural break in the Abitibi Gold Belt. The 2024 Mineral Resource Estimate for the Swanson deposit outlines 123,400 oz of gold in Indicated category (2.1 million tonnes at 1.8 g/t) and 64,500 oz in Inferred category (872,000 tonnes at 2.3 g/t). Located 66 km north of Val-d’Or, the Project is accessible by road and rail and benefits from more than 36,000 meters of historical drilling, along with existing infrastructure including an 80-meter decline portal.

Recent work—including airborne magnetics, soil sampling, and Induced Polarization surveys—has identified multiple high-priority targets and resulted in several high-grade gold assay results, including a grab sample grading 11.71 g/t Au at Jolin, which points to significant upside as the Company prepares to test multiple new zones.

LaFleur has defined over 50 drill targets at Swanson and nearby prospects (Bartec, Jolin, Marimac) and is completing a minimum 5,000-metre diamond drilling beginning in June 2025. LaFleur Minerals has also initiated permitting for a 100,000-tonne surface bulk sample averaging 1.89 g/t Au, which it plans to process at the Beacon Gold Mill as part of a near-term production strategy.

Beacon Gold Mill

LaFleur’s 100%-owned Beacon Gold Mill is a fully refurbished and permitted mill and tailings storage facility capable of processing 750 tonnes per day (tpd), with potential expansion to 1,800 tpd, with access to numerous nearby gold deposits that could be prime sources of ore. Located only 60 km from Swanson, it underwent a $20 million upgrade by Monarch Mining in 2022 and has been under care and maintenance since early 2023. LaFleur is finalizing a C$5-6 million restart plan, ramping up production by late 2025 into early 2026, processing Swanson mineralized material and assessing custom milling opportunities for regional deposits, creating multiple potential revenue streams.

The Beacon Gold Mill is a de-risked, proven asset that benefits from existing infrastructure, including access to roads, power, and skilled labor, and further enhances the overall value proposition of LaFleur by providing a clear path to production and potential revenue-generation.

Market Opportunity

LaFleur Minerals is targeting the gold mining and processing market in Québec’s Abitibi Gold Belt, one of the world’s most productive gold regions. Its fully permitted Beacon Gold Mill, with a 750 tpd capacity and authorization to process 1.8 million tonnes of tailings, is strategically positioned to handle material from LaFleur’s Swanson Gold Project and to offer custom milling for nearby deposits such as Granada Gold. The company projects annual production of over 30,000 ounces of gold once in full production, with potential for significant revenue generation based on prevailing market prices.

Global demand for gold remains robust, driven by geopolitical risk, inflation hedging, and central bank accumulation. The World Gold Council forecasts 3-5% annual demand growth through 2030, with average prices expected between $3,200 and $3,500/oz. Within this environment, Québec’s top-tier mining jurisdiction—ranked fifth globally by the Fraser Institute in 2023—offers streamlined permitting and access to flow-through capital. LaFleur’s low-cost Beacon restart (C$5-6 million) and proximity to more than 100 active and historical mines position the company to fill a growing need for small-to-medium scale custom milling.

At Swanson, LaFleur plans to grow its current 187,900-ounce resource toward 1 million ounces through its 2025 drilling program. This hub-and-spoke strategy, leveraging centralized milling and strong local infrastructure, reduces development risk and strengthens LaFleur’s foothold in one of the most attractive gold belts in the world.

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight CMX Gold & Silver Corp. (CSE: CXC) (OTC: CXXMF).

This article has been disseminated on behalf of CMX Gold & Silver Corp. and may include paid advertising.

CMX (CSE: CXC; OTC: CXXMF) announced it has expanded its marketing and investor awareness program focused on the company and its 100%-owned Clayton Silver Project in Idaho through a one-year corporate communications agreement with IBN executed Dec. 31, 2025. Under the agreement, IBN will act as an independent contractor and provide investor awareness and communications services for a base fee of $3,000 per month, or $36,000 for the one-year term, with the potential for additional fees related to supplemental services. CMX said the expanded outreach is intended to increase visibility as the company advances exploration planning at the Clayton Silver Project, its flagship asset in the Bayhorse Mining District of central Idaho.

CMX Gold & Silver Corp. (CSE: CXC) (OTC: CXXMF) is advancing the historic Clayton Silver Mine in Idaho, a past-producing underground operation with a long operating history and significant remaining exploration potential. The company holds a 100% interest in the project through its wholly owned U.S. subsidiary and has positioned the asset as its sole operational focus, allowing management to concentrate technical, financial, and strategic efforts on a single, well-documented silver system.

Clayton was mined for more than five decades but was never systematically explored using modern geophysical or drilling techniques. Historical operators followed known mineralization to supply a relatively small mill and did not pursue broader resource definition or deeper targets, leaving substantial portions of the mineralized system only partially mined or entirely untested. CMX has compiled extensive historical records and mine data that now form the foundation for a modern reassessment of the property.

As CMX advances Clayton during a period of sustained supply deficits and rising industrial demand for silver, the company does so with a high degree of internal alignment. As of December 2025, management, directors, and associated shareholders collectively held approximately 70% of the company’s issued and outstanding shares, underscoring a long-term commitment to the project’s development.

The company is headquartered in Calgary, Alberta.

The Clayton Silver Project

The Clayton Silver Project is CMX’s 100%-owned flagship asset, located in the Bayhorse Mining District of central Idaho, approximately 30–40 kilometers south-southwest of Challis. The property comprises a 1,028-acre land package, including 29 patented mining claims and two patented mill sites (approximately 562 acres) and 20 unpatented claims (approximately 466 acres). The patented claims provide surface ownership rights, carry no government royalties, and do not require drilling permits.

Historic Production and Development

The Clayton Silver Mine operated from 1935 to 1986 and was one of the most active underground mines in the district. Recorded production totaled approximately 7.0 million ounces of silver, along with lead, zinc, copper, and minor gold, from an estimated 2.15 million tonnes of ore, representing an illustrative gross metal value of approximately $660 million at $75/oz silver. Underground development reached eight levels to 1,100 feet, with nearly 19,700 feet of workings, and partially mined two tabular ore bodies known as the South and North Ore Bodies.

Geological Potential

Mine records and historical drilling indicate that mineralization remains open to depth and along strike. Notably, drill hole 1501-A intersected 22 feet of high-grade polymetallic mineralization at approximately 1,425 feet, confirming continuity below the deepest historic workings. CMX has determined that little modern geophysical work or systematic exploration drilling was conducted during the mine’s operating life.

Planned Exploration Programs

Beginning in spring 2026, CMX plans to conduct a comprehensive geophysical program over the historic mine and surrounding structures, including a 3-D Direct Current Induced Polarization (DCIP) survey and a Magnetotelluric (MT) survey. These surveys are intended to delineate known structures, identify extensions of partially mined ore bodies, and evaluate deeper sources of mineralization, with follow-up diamond drilling planned to test priority targets.

Surface Stockpile Opportunity

CMX also controls a surface stockpile estimated to exceed 1.0 million tonnes of mineralized material that was historically mined but not processed. Testing conducted in 2014 and TOMRA ore-sorting trials in 2022 and 2023 demonstrated that X-Ray Transmission (XRT) sorting increased silver grades by approximately 6.4 times and lead and zinc grades by approximately seven times, while recovering more than 70% of contained metals into a high-grade concentrate representing about 10% of the original mass.

Market Opportunity

Silver is a critical industrial metal with more than 10,000 documented uses and is valued for its electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, reflectivity, corrosion resistance, and antimicrobial properties. Global silver demand is estimated at approximately 1.19 billion ounces, while global mine production is approximately 830 million ounces, resulting in a persistent supply deficit driven largely by industrial consumption across electronics, solar photovoltaics, electric vehicles, medical applications, catalysts, and battery technologies.

These supply-demand dynamics have been reflected in pricing. In January 2026, silver exceeded $80 per ounce, up 160% over the prior 12 months. This pricing underscores the impact of sustained physical deficits, declining mine supply since 2016, and rising industrial demand tied to green energy, electrification, and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence. With approximately 70% of global silver production sourced as a byproduct of other metal mining, the industry’s ability to respond quickly to higher prices remains constrained, reinforcing the structural nature of the current market imbalance.

A trained lawyer, he practiced business law and securities regulation before serving as co-founder, President, and CEO of Purcell Energy Ltd., and later as CEO of Tenergy Ltd., both publicly listed energy companies that were ultimately sold in significant transactions. Since 2011, he has led the advancement of CMX’s Clayton Silver Project.

Glen R. Alston, Chief Financial Officer, has more than 30 years of experience in senior executive and management roles with public junior mining companies. His background includes corporate finance, stock exchange listings, corporate development, project management, and accounting and audit oversight, and he played a key role in CMX’s acquisition of the Clayton Silver Project.

The initiative, detailed in a January 5 announcement, reflects coordinated actions by OptimumBank's largest institutional investor and key insiders, with an emphasis on transparency, alignment, and long-term flexibility ( https://ibn.fm/bvijW ).

OptimumBank Holdings Inc. (NYSE American: OPHC) is a single bank holding company that owns 100% of OptimumBank, a community bank headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. OptimumBank offers relationship-driven banking available in person, by phone, and online, serving both local and international clients by offering an alternative to the high fees and impersonal service of larger institutions. Its expertise in real estate and commercial lending has made it a preferred partner for borrowers seeking knowledgeable, accessible financial support.

Driven by disciplined execution and a commitment to local relationships, OptimumBank has experienced substantial organic growth, positioning itself as one of the fastest-growing community banks in the region. The company has surpassed $1 billion in total assets and remains focused on scaling efficiently, maintaining sound credit quality, and delivering strong returns for shareholders.

Looking ahead, the bank is embracing technology modernization while remaining grounded in the principles of relationship-based banking. A new open-architecture core platform, targeted loan expansion, and sustained deposit growth are key pillars of its forward strategy.

Products

OptimumBank offers a full suite of business and personal banking solutions, including Business Banking, Business Lending, SBA Lending Solutions, Treasury Management, and Personal Banking. Its lending focus includes commercial real estate, multifamily, construction, residential, and consumer loans.

LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: LIXT)

Disseminated on behalf of Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc., may include paid advertisements.

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: LIXT).

Lixte Biotechnology Holdings (NASDAQ: LIXT) announced it will participate in the DealFlow Discovery Conference to be held Jan. 28–29, 2026, in Atlantic City, N.J. The company said Chief Executive Officer Geordan Pursglove will conduct one-on-one meetings with investors during the conference as LIXTE continues advancing LB-100, its first-in-class inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A, through clinical development.

To view the full press release, visit https://ibn.fm/F1dlA

LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: LIXT) is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing differentiated cancer therapies built around a novel biological target. Rather than introducing standalone treatments, the company is focused on advancing a first-in-class approach designed to enhance the effectiveness of established cancer therapies, addressing persistent challenges that continue to limit outcomes in oncology.

LIXTE’s work centers on improving how chemotherapy and immunotherapy perform in difficult-to-treat cancers with significant unmet medical need. By translating a distinct scientific concept into therapies that can be integrated into existing treatment frameworks, the company aims to expand the reach and impact of current standards of care without requiring wholesale changes to clinical practice.

Alongside internal development, LIXTE has pursued selective strategic actions that extend its capabilities beyond drug development, supporting its evolution into a platform-oriented oncology company spanning both pharmaceutical and technology-driven approaches.

The company is headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida.

Portfolio

LB-100 (PP2A Inhibitor Platform)

LIXTE’s lead clinical candidate, LB-100, is a proprietary small-molecule inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) designed to enhance the activity of chemotherapy and immunotherapy. The compound has demonstrated a favorable safety profile in Phase 1 clinical trials and has been supported by more than 25 published preclinical and translational studies. LB-100 is currently being evaluated in multiple clinical programs targeting solid tumors with limited treatment options.

Ongoing trials include combinations of LB-100 with immunotherapy in ovarian clear cell carcinoma and metastatic MSI-low colon cancer, as well as combination therapy with chemotherapy in advanced soft tissue sarcoma. These studies are being conducted in collaboration with leading academic cancer centers and industry partners, reflecting LIXTE’s emphasis on externally validated clinical execution.

Radiotherapy Platform Expansion (Liora Technologies)

In November 2025, LIXTE expanded beyond pharmaceuticals with the acquisition of Liora Technologies Europe Ltd., adding an electronically controlled proton therapy platform known as the LiGHT System. This acquisition established LIXTE’s entry into radiotherapy, complementing its drug development activities and creating optionality for future recurring revenue models tied to jointly operated treatment centers.

Market Opportunity

LIXTE is targeting cancers where existing therapies show limited durability due to resistance, toxicity constraints, or suboptimal patient response. Chemotherapy and immunotherapy are widely applicable across tumor types but remain constrained by these factors, creating an opportunity for approaches that improve efficacy without proportionally increasing toxicity.

The company’s clinical programs focus on ovarian clear cell carcinoma, metastatic colon cancer, and advanced soft tissue sarcoma, indications characterized by high unmet need and limited effective treatment options. Rather than reshaping oncology care, LIXTE is developing LB-100 to augment existing therapies, an approach that could support wider clinical use within established treatment pathways.

Direct coastal access via the Port of St. Lewis eliminates costly multi-modal transport, giving Search Minerals a logistical and cost advantage over inland rare earth projects

Proximity to established North Atlantic shipping routes positions the company for efficient access to European and North American critical minerals markets

A growing rare earth resource base, combined with proprietary low-impact processing technology, strengthens Search Minerals' role in supply chains

Every company is looking for an edge. Search Minerals (TSX.V: SMY) (OTC: SHCMF) is leveraging a rare and increasingly valuable advantage in the race to develop secure rare earth element ("REE") supply chains: direct coastal access. Its core assets within the Port Hope Simpson – St. Lewis Critical Rare Earth Element ("CREE") District on Labrador's southeastern coast are positioned to benefit from immediate proximity to deep-water port infrastructure, significantly reducing logistical complexity and transportation costs compared to inland competitors.

Search Minerals Inc. (TSX.V: SMY) (OTC: SHCMF) is a mineral exploration and development company focused on advancing critical rare earth element (“CREE”) resources in Labrador, Canada. Since its establishment, the company has concentrated on systematic exploration supported by detailed geological work, extensive sampling, and disciplined technical evaluation across its landholdings.

The company operates with an emphasis on transparency, field-based science, and engagement with local communities and partners, including the NunatuKavut Community Council and municipal leaders in the surrounding region. Its technical programs and community initiatives reflect an ongoing commitment to responsible exploration and long-term regional collaboration.

Through continued exploration, environmental review, and stakeholder dialogue, Search Minerals is working to advance its rare earth assets toward future development within a supportive and mining-friendly jurisdiction.

The company is headquartered in St. Lewis, Newfoundland and Labrador.

Projects

Port Hope Simpson – St. Lewis CREE District

Deep Fox

Deep Fox has emerged as Search Minerals’ leading resource, supported by extensive drilling, channel sampling, and feasibility-related technical work. Located 2 km northeast of St. Lewis with direct road and tidewater access, the project has been defined through 137 drill holes (25,741 m), 44 channels (1,096 m), geophysical surveys, and nearly 15,500 assays. Mineralization is hosted in steeply dipping pantellerite and extends up to 42 m thick across an approximate 400 m strike length. Phase 4 programs confirmed strong Nd–Pr–Dy–Tb values from surface to at least 200 m depth and expanded the zone both east and west. These results will support an updated mineral resource estimate and advance Deep Fox toward feasibility-level assessment.

Foxtrot

Foxtrot, the company’s first major discovery, lies 10 km west of St. Lewis and has been advanced through extensive work programs including 1,484 channel samples, 72 drill holes, mapping, and geophysics. The mineralized zone is well understood from surface to depth, with consistent alignment between channel and drill core assays. Foxtrot hosts an indicated resource of 10.04 million tonnes and an inferred resource of 3.00 million tonnes (December 2021), and forms part of the combined 2022 mineral resource estimate alongside Deep Fox.

Fox Meadow

Fox Meadow is a large-scale, high-priority exploration target located 11 km west of Port Hope Simpson. The mineralized zone is up to 175 m wide with a current strike length of 680 m, supported by magnetic anomalies extending over 1 km. Channel results indicate more moderate grades than Deep Fox and Foxtrot, but the scale and notably low uranium and thorium values present compelling advantages. Mineralization is structurally complex and hosted in trachytic pantellerites enriched in allanite, fergusonite, and zircon. A 2,000 m drill campaign and additional channel sampling were completed in late 2022, with results pending.

Other Prospects Along the Belt

Search Minerals controls multiple additional discoveries across its 64 km Fox Harbour volcanic belt:

• Silver Fox hosts high-grade zirconium, hafnium, and rare earths, with channel samples showing Zr concentrations surpassing 25,000 ppm.
• Awesome Fox contains strong Nd–Pr–Dy–Tb values across several wide channel intervals.
• Foxy Lady, Fox Run, and Krazy Fox exhibit CREE-enriched mineralization within the same peralkaline stratigraphy that hosts Deep Fox and Foxtrot.

These prospects collectively reinforce the district’s potential to support multiple future development opportunities beyond the flagship assets.

Red Wine CREE District

Search Minerals also controls 17 licenses (427 claims) in central Labrador within the Red Wine CREE District, prospective for both light and heavy rare earth elements as well as niobium and beryllium. Key prospects include Two Tom Lake, Mann #1, Merlot, Dory Pond, Cabernet, and Barbera. Channel assays released in 2025 confirmed significant concentrations of Nb, Be, Nd, Pr, Dy, and Tb across multiple targets. This district remains at an earlier stage but represents long-term upside, with ongoing prospecting, mapping, and additional channel sampling planned to prepare for future drilling.

Market Opportunity

Global demand for rare earth elements is projected to triple from 59,000 tonnes in 2022 to 176,000 tonnes by 2035 as electric-vehicle adoption accelerates and wind-power capacity expands. The global REE market, valued at $3.95 billion in 2024, is expected to reach $6.3 billion by 2030 at a compound annual growth rate of approximately 8.6%, according to Grand View Research. With supply projected to lag demand by as much as 30%, the outlook points to a sustained structural deficit in key magnet materials.

China currently controls roughly 60% of global REE mining and about 90% of processing capacity, prompting major efforts in North America to strengthen domestic supply chains. In 2025, the U.S. Department of Energy announced $1 billion in critical-minerals funding programs, while Canada’s C$1.5 billion Critical Minerals Infrastructure Fund will support project development through 2030. These initiatives underscore the importance of strengthening domestic rare earth supply chains.

In this environment of rising demand, constrained supply, and coordinated policy support, Search Minerals’ district-scale assets position the company within one of the most strategically vital segments of the clean-energy transition.
