XXIX is advancing its Opemiska and Thierry Copper projects, two significant Canadian copper assets. The Opemiska Project, one of Canada's highest-grade open pitable copper deposits, spans 21,333 hectares in Quebec's Chapais-Chibougamau region, with strong infrastructure and nearby access to the Horne Smelter. An October 2025 Preliminary Economic Assessment outlined a 12,500 tpd open pit operation over a 17-year mine life, generating an after-tax NPV8% of $505M, IRR of 27.2%, and a 2.3-year payback period ($4.35/lb copper price, $3,000/oz gold price, $30/oz silver price).  The Thierry Project hosts the K1 (near-surface) and the past-producing K2 (underground & surface) zones (see XXIX news release dated October 1, 2024 for details regarding resources). Thierry has significant infrastructure in place including an all-season road, an airport within 5km, a provincial power grid within 8km, and nearby rail. With these two high-potential projects, the Company has solidified its position as a key player in the Canadian copper sector and has established itself as one of Eastern Canada's largest copper developer.

Geiger Energy is a Canadian uranium exploration company focused on advancing district-scale opportunities in both the Thelon and Athabasca Basins. Its flagship asset is the 100%-owned Aberdeen Project in Nunavut’s Thelon Basin—a 95,000-hectare land package hosting the high-grade, basement-hosted Tatiggaq and Qavvik discoveries. Tatiggaq is defined over a 300-metre strike length with steeply dipping mineralized lenses between 80 and 180 metres depth, including drill intercepts such as 2.25% U₃O₈ over 11.1 metres. Qavvik shares similar geological characteristics and remains open for expansion. The broader property includes over 50 high-priority exploration targets, many of which remain untested. In Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin, Geiger controls over 350,000 hectares across 12 projects, including the near-surface ACKIO uranium discovery at the Hook Project. ACKIO consists of multiple mineralized pods with grades up to 2.45% U₃O₈, beginning as shallow as 28 metres below surface.

Metal Energy Corp. (TSXV: MERG, OTCQB: MEEEF) is a critical metals exploration company focused on copper and gold assets in Canada. The Company now controls NIV, a newly acquired, fully permitted, and drill-ready copper-gold-molybdenum project located in British Columbia’s prolific Toodoggone District, a region known for significant porphyry deposits.

With the addition of NIV, Metal Energy’s portfolio now includes three high-potential projects:

• NIV Project (Cu-Au-Mo, 100%-controlled) – Toodoggone District, BC
• Highland Valley Project (Cu-Mo-Ag-Au-Re, 100%-owned) – British Columbia
• Manibridge Project (Ni-Cu-Co-PGE, 85%-owned) – Manitoba

Awalé is a diligent and sytematic mineral exploration company focused on the discovery of large high-grade gold and copper-gold deposits. The company currently undertakes exploration activities in the underexplored parts of Cote d'Ivoire, Awalé's exploration sucess to datye has culminated in a fully funded earn-in Joint Venture with Newmont covering one permit and one application (the "Odienné Project JV") within the greater Odienné Copper-Gold Project in the Northwest of Côte d'Ivoire, where three significant gold and gold-copper-silver-molybdenum discovereis have been made. The Sceptre East and Charger discoveries have significant scope for growth with future discovery and resource development drilling. The project has multiple pipeline prospets that have similiar geochemical fingerprints to Iron Oxide Copper Gold ("IOCG") and intrusive related mineral systems. The 400km² of granted tenire and 400km² under application remains underexplored and offers significant upside potential. The Odienné Project JV forms a solid foundation for the Company to continue exploring in a pro-mining jurisdiction that offers significant potential for district scale discoveries.
