Quantum Critical Metals Corp.

Follow Up MAG-TDEM Survey Planned to Advance Nickel-PGE Drill Targeting

Vancouver, BC TheNewswire - September 22, 2025 Quantum Critical Metals Corp. (TSX.V: LEAP | OTCQB: ATOXF | FSE: 86A1) ("Quantum" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that further to the news of August 14 th 2025 the Company has successfully completed an electro magnetic ("EM") very low frequency electromagnetic ("VLF") and magnetic geophysical survey at its wholly owned NMX East Project in Northern Québec.

The survey was designed to validate historical government data and enhance geological targeting at NMX East, which is located in the same region as Power Metallic Mines Ltd. (TSXV-PNPN) Nisk deposit which is a known source of lithium, nickel and platinum group elements ("PGE").

Nickel and PGE are commonly searched for with airborne and magnetic surveys to help locate the rock types of interest ( Vallée et al . 2024).

Next Steps: Enhanced Targeting Through Follow Up MAG TDEM Survey

Based on favourable results, Quantum plans to undertake a follow up high resolution MAG-TDEM (time domain electromagnetic) survey. This advanced geophysical work is expected to significantly improve subsurface modeling and help refine high priority drill targets for Ni-PGE mineralization. Additional information and reports on the air surveys will be released as they become available.

CEO Marcy Kiesman stated:

"In August we confirmed the presence of mafic-ultramafic rocks at surface, and the airborne data further supports the potential for nickel and PGE targets at NMX East. These early results are encouraging as we work to define drill ready targets in this highly favourable prospective region."

Options

The Company also announces the issuance of 4,000,000 stock options to consultants and directors. The options are exercisable at $0.15 per share for a period of five years, aligning with long-term incentives with shareholder value creation.

Canada's Place in Global Mining: Why it's a Top Jurisdiction for Investors and Companies

For resource investors, geological potential is only one piece of the puzzle.

Whether it’s gold, silver, copper, nickel, uranium or any other commodity, the long-term success of a mining project is heavily dependent on jurisdiction. Mining is a capital-intensive, multi-year undertaking, and an asset's economics can be undermined by political instability, sudden regulatory changes or shifting government policies.

Canada stands out as a global leader in this regard. Its reputation as a stable and reliable mining jurisdiction is built on a foundation of political stability, the rule of law and a mature, transparent regulatory framework. This environment provides the certainty that investors require to commit the significant capital needed for exploration and development.

Australia as a Mining Jurisdiction: Assessing Risk in an Evolving Landscape

Australia has long been recognised as a stable and reliable jurisdiction for mining, a reputation built on its rich history in the sector. However, the industry is now coming to a crossroads.

The country's mining sector is facing a shifting regulatory landscape as it contends with trade tensions, wage equity reforms and increasing environmental, social and governance (ESG) demands.

These new pressures are reshaping everything from project development and investment decisions to environmental approvals and land access, forcing the sector — and investors — to navigate a complex and evolving landscape.

Navigating Uncertainty: How to Manage Jurisdictional Risk for Mining Stocks

In the high-stakes world of resource extraction, a nation's mineral wealth is a powerful magnet for investment, fueling economic growth and national prosperity. But not all countries are created equal.

For investors in the mining sector it's key to understand that jurisdictional risk can be profoundly impacted by political changes, as new administrations can swiftly alter the regulatory landscape. These policy shifts can present both opportunities and setbacks, introducing a complex layer of uncertainty to even the most promising ventures.

At the same time, regions traditionally seen as stable and secure for resource development can face their own challenges, including rigorous permitting regimes that can slow mine development activity.

Report: US$800 Billion in Mining Finance Could Derail Clean Energy Transition

A new report from the Forests & Finance Coalition warns that nearly US$800 billion in mining finance is accelerating extraction practices that could undermine global climate goals.

The study, titled "Mining and Money: Financial Faultlines in the Energy Transition," highlights what the organization calls “dangerously weak” safeguards in the sector.

Between 2016 and 2024, commercial banks extended US$493 billion in credit to companies mining copper, lithium, cobalt, nickel and other key transition minerals, according to the group.
