• Initial C$1.0 million payment received as at closing
• Non-dilutive funding expected to support advancement of the Delta-1 Gold Project
• 1.0% Net Smelter Return ("NSR") royalty retained, with long-term exposure to exploration success

Strong Academic & Industry Interest Highlighted by ILSG Field Visit

The growing interest in the Delta-1 Gold Project was recently highlighted as part of a 'Shebandowan Gold' field trip organized as part of the annual Institute on Lake Superior Geology (ILSG) meeting. The Company hosted 28 geologists and prospectors for a technical field visit that included two separate stops on the Property (Photo 1).

The tour provided participants with an opportunity to observe firsthand the geology, alteration systems and structural controls associated with gold mineralization at the I-Zone and Eureka Gold Zone, while also showcasing the broader exploration potential of Delta's 340 km² land package.

Ron Kopas, Executive Officer of Delta, commented:

"The second payment from Troilus provides us significant non-dilutive hard cash further strengthening our balance sheet and allows us to think not just about our 2026 plans but look into 2027.

The extraordinary interest from the ILSG field trip validates our belief that Shebandowan is now "on the map" and this will no doubt continue with our highly prospective 2026 work program. 2026 will be an exciting year for Delta".
