(CSE: BMT) ("Bahia" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed its initial public offering (the "IPO") of 11,500,000 units of the Company (the "Units") at a price of $0.50 per Unit, inclusive of the full exercise of the 15% over-allotment option.

The Company's common shares will commence trading on February 12, 2026 on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") under the ticker symbol "BMT.CN".
Each Unit of the IPO financing consists of one common share in the authorized share structure of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one common share in the capital of the Company at a price of $0.90 per share until February 11, 2029. The warrants are subject to an acceleration right held by the Company, such that in the event that the closing price of the Company's shares on the CSE is $1.50 or greater per share for a total of seven trading days within a twenty consecutive day trading period, all warrants issued in connection with the IPO will expire 30 days following written notice (via news release) provided by the Company (the "Acceleration").
Pursuant to an agency agreement dated January 30, 2026, between Canaccord Genuity Corp. (the "Agent") and the Company, the Agent acted as exclusive agent for the Company in connection with the IPO. The Company paid cash commission in the amount of $347,958, issued 100,000 common shares of the Company, and granted non-transferable warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 795,916 common shares of the Company at a price of $0.50 per share until February 11, 2029, subject to the Acceleration and a voluntary six-month hold period.
The net proceeds from the IPO will be expended on work programs at the Company's Mangueiros Nickel Sulphide-Copper Cobalt Project located in Bahia State, Brazil and for general working capital purposes.
Mr. Goodman, CEO, states, "Bahia Metals has completed the requirements to secure 100% of the project that was initially owned and advanced by investors related to Appian Capital Advisory Limited. This milestone is a positive step in the company's trajectory towards increasing shareholder value."
