Vancouver, British Columbia, November 5th, 2025 TheNewswire – Prismo Metals Inc. (the ‘ Company ‘ ) (CSE: PRIZ,OTC:PMOMF) (OTCQB: PMOMF) is pleased to announce that Walnut Mines LLC, the owner of the Hot Breccia claims optioned as to 75% by the Company, has agreed to extend certain dates to complete cash payments and exploration expenditures.

Alain Lambert, CEO of Prismo said: Prismo remains firmly committed to advancing the Hot Breccia Project, located in the heart of Arizona s historic copper belt. We appreciate the cooperation of Walnut Mines LLC in extending certain milestone obligations, which provides the Company with additional flexibility as we assess a range of strategic alternatives. Each of these paths is designed to position Prismo to commence drilling on what we consider one of the most compelling copper exploration opportunities in Arizona and the broader United States.

Dr Linus Keating, manager of Walnut Mines LLC, enthusiastically commented: ‘Walnut and Prismo remain firmly dedicated to advancing Hot Breccia towards drill discovery. Accomplishing that goal requires that we continue to work together and support each other. This extension will provide the necessary time, and better focus resources, to succeed at Hot Breccia.’

More specifically, the extensions are as follows: (i) extend the milestone date to complete exploration expenditures of $1,750,000 from January 31, 2026 to January 31, 2027; and (ii) extend the milestone date to complete exploration expenditures of $2,000,000 from January 31, 2027 to January 31, 2028 and (iii) extend the milestone date to complete the final cash payment of $275,000 to Walnut Mines LLC from January 31, 2026 to July 31, 2026.

Prismo s Hot Breccia project lies at the heart of the Arizona Copper Belt, which hosts several globally significant porphyry copper deposits.  Examples of these significant deposits are Freeport McMoRan’s Miami-Inspiration mining complex, BHP’s San Manuel mine, Rio Tinto and BHP’s Resolution deposit and others (see Figure 1).

Figure 1. Location of the Hot Breccia Project in the Arizona Copper Belt.

Historical drilling carried out in the mid to late 1970 s by a Rio Tinto subsidiary intersected high-grade copper mineralization at depths ranging from 640 to 830 meters below surface. Several holes targeted an area with a coincident magnetic high, believed to be caused by magnetite skarn that was cut in the drill holes and that occurs in xenoliths in cross cutting dikes exposed at the surface. Prismo believes those intercepts may represent the periphery of the upper portion of a large mineralized system.

Support for the Company s mineralization model at the project comes from several sources, including the results of historical drilling, geophysical surveys, distribution of dikes with xenoliths of Cu-bearing skarn, the 2023 ZTEM survey as well as the results of an AI study. The anomalous target area identified in Prismo s modelling measures 1,100 meters by 1,150 meters.

Dr. Craig Gibson, Chief Exploration Officer of Prismo stated: The copper exploration target at Hot Breccia has geophysical, geochemical and geological features characteristic of many porphyry copper deposits. The project area has a regional setting similar to BHP-Rio Tinto’s Resolution copper deposit located 40 kilometers to the northwest of Hot Breccia and which is considered to be one on the greatest copper discoveries in the history of North American mining. He added: The drill program is intended to drill through the entire prospective Paleozoic carbonate stratigraphy into the postulated porphyry body/breccia zone. The exploration team will take advantage of geological information provided by each hole during drilling to refine targeting of subsequent holes.

Historical drill holes cut high grade skarn mineralization including 23 meters with 0.54% Cu at 640 meters depth (hole OC-1), 18 m with 1.4% Cu and 4.65% Zn at 830 meters depth (hole OCC-7), and 7.6 m with 1.73% Cu and 0.11% Zn at 703 meters and 4.6 meters with 1.4% Cu and 0.88% Zn at 716 meters (OCC-8).  Mineralization occurs within a several hundred-meter-thick altered zone hosted in favorable Paleozoic carbonate rocks that underly a sequence of Cretaceous andesitic volcanic rocks. These carbonates are the same rocks that host the high-grade copper mineralization at Freeport s nearby Christmas mine.  The historic drilling intersected a blind mineralized intrusion associated with the skarn mineralization, providing an immediate drill target that is believed to be the source of the mineralization at Hot Breccia (Figure 2). Several magnetic highs in the region surrounding the proposed intrusion may also indicated buried skarn mineralization and provide additional exploration targets.

About Hot Breccia

The Hot Breccia property consists of 1,420 hectares in 227 contiguous mining claims located in the world class Arizona Copper Belt between several very well understood world-class copper mines including Morenci, Ray and Resolution (Figure 1). Hot Breccia shows many features in common with these neighboring systems, most prominently a swarm of porphyry dikes and series of breccia pipes containing numerous fragments of well copper-mineralized rocks mixed with fragments of volcanic and sedimentary derived from considerable depth. Prismo performed a ZTEM survey last year that identified a very large conductive anomaly directly beneath the breccia outcrops.

Sampling at the project has shown the presence of copper mineralization associated with dacite dikes that transported fragments of strongly mineralized carbonate rocks to the surface from depths believed to be 400-1,000 meters. Drilling deep holes is necessary to tap into the source of these mineralized fragments found at surface.

Assay results from historic drill holes are unverified as the core has been destroyed, but information has been gathered from memos, photos and drill logs that contain some, but not all, of the assay results and descriptions.  Technical information from adjacent or nearby properties does not mean nor does it imply that Prismo will obtain similar results from its own properties.

Data on previous drilling and geophysics is historical in nature and has not been verified, is not compliant with NI 43-101 standards and should not be relied upon; the Company is using the information only as a guide to aid in exploration planning.

Toronto, Ontario November 4, 2025 TheNewswire – Laurion Mineral Exploration Inc. (TSX.V: LME | OTC: LMEFF) (‘LAURION’ or the ‘Corporation’) is pleased to announce encouraging results from its 7,700-metre Summer 2025 drill exploration program at the 100%-owned Ishkõday Project, located 220 km northeast of Thunder Bay in Greenstone, Ontario. The first five drill results were announced in the Corporation’s press releases dated August 19, 2025 and September 23, 2025, respectively, which targeted the high-grade gold-bearing vein systems of the Sturgeon River Mine area. Reference is also made to the Corporation’s press releases dated September 5, 2025, May 27, 2025 and May 8, 2025.

The reported drill holes below, LME25-061 and LME25-062, totalling 954 m were designed to evaluate the mineralized system at the historic Brenbar Mine area, stepping out to the north and northeast of the of the historic mine shaft.

Highlights of Drill Holes LME25-061 and LME25-062

LME25-061

  • 2.70 m @ 0.22 g/t Au from 152.6 m to 155.3 m

  • 2.50 m @ 0.20 g/t Au from 167.5 m to 170 m

  • 2.25 m @ 0.88 g/t Au from 213.85 m to 216.10 m, including 1.70 m @ 1.10 g/t Au from 214.4 m

LME25-062

  • 3.00 m @ 0.49 g/t Au from 304.0 m to 307 m, including 1.0 m @ 1.34 g/t Au from 304.0 m

  • 2.00 m @ 0.50 g/t Au from 111.0 m to 113.0 m, including 0.5 m @ 1.45 g/t Au from 111.80 m

  • 1.20 m @ 0.76 g/t Au from 105.7 m to 106.9 m, including 0.7 m @ 1.07 g/t Au from 105.7 m

  • 1.05 m @ 2.68 g/t Au from 117.6 m to 118.65 m, including 0.5 m @ 5.18 g/t Au from 118.15 m

  • 1.15 m @ 0.39 g/t Au from 310.7 m to 311.85 m

  • 1.10 m @ 1.63 g/t Au from 454.4 m to 455.5 m

These new intercepts not only confirm the continuity of gold-bearing structures near the Brenbar Shaft, but also demonstrate how far our understanding of Ishk õ day has advanced since the early 2010 drilling campaigns,’ said Cynthia Le Sueur-Aquin, President and CEO of Laurion Mineral Exploration Inc. ‘Our 2025 drill core is fully oriented, allowing precise structural interpretation and integration into our evolving 3D geological model — a critical step toward defining the geometry and scale of the mineralized system.’

The 2025 drill program targeted a cluster of complex folded gold-bearing vein structures in the Brenbar Shaft namely No 1, 2, 2A and No. 7 vein sets confirmed in historic drilling by Prodigy Gold Inc. ( Jamie Solomon & Jerry Light, June 13, 2011 ). That work returned multiple higher-grade intercepts, including 3.77 g/t Au over 1.30 m and 1.33 g/t Au over 1.0 m in BB09-03 , 5.50 g/t over 2.5 m, 1.39 g/t Au over 1.0 m and 1.47 g/t Au over 1.0 min BB09-04 , 2.29 g/t Au over 1.10 m and 0.39 g/t Au over 15.90 m in BB09-09 , 0.549 g/t Au over 12.50 m in BB09-10 , and 1.56 g/t Au over 1.0 m, 0.51 g/t Au over 6.30 m, 3.26 g/t Au over 0.80 m and 0.66 g/t Au over 8.20 min BB10-27 which tested No. 15 Vein, #25 trench vein . The results confirm high-grade quartz-vein hosted gold within sheared volcanic rocks. They provide the basis for LAURION’s 2025 program to test continuity and strike length at Brenbar, and to collect oriented core for detailed structural analysis and 3D modeling.

Sampling and QA/QC Protocols

All drill core is transported and stored inside the core facility located at the Ishkõday Project in Greenstone, Ontario. LAURION employs an industry standard system of external standards, blanks and duplicates for all of its sampling, in addition to the QA/QC protocol employed by the laboratory. After logging, core samples were identified and then cut in half along core axis in the same building and then zip tied individually in plastic sample bags with a bar code. Approximately five or six of these individual bags were then stacked into a ‘rice’ white material bag and stored on a skid for final shipment to the laboratory.

All core samples were shipped to the ALS facility in Thunder Bay, Ontario, which were then prepared by ALS Global Geochemistry in Thunder Bay and analyzed by ALS Global Analytical Lab in North Vancouver, British Columbia. Samples are processed by 4-acid digestion and analyzed by fire assay on 50 g pulps and ICP-AES (InductivelyCoupledPlasma – AtomicElement-Spectroscopy). Over limit analyses are reprocessed with gravimetric finish.

A total of 5% blanks and 5% standard are inserted randomly within all samples. 5% of the best assay result pulps were sent for re-assays. All QAQC were verified, and no contamination or bias have been observed. The remaining half of the core, as well as the unsampled core, is stored in temporary core racks at the core logging facility in Beardmore and moved to the core storage facility at the Ishkõday Project.

LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR,OTC:LFLRF) (OTCQB: LFLRF) (FSE: 3WK0) (‘LaFleur Minerals’ or the ‘Company’ or ‘Issuer’) is pleased to announce that, further to its news releases dated July 30, 2025, and September 10, 2025, the Company has closed its non-brokered flow-through private placement for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,663,370 (the ‘Private Placement’). The Private Placement consisted of the issuance of 2,410,682 flow-through units (the ‘FT Units’) at a price of $0.69 per FT Unit, with each FT Unit consisting of one common share in the capital of the Company (a ‘Share’), to be issued as a ‘flow-through share’ within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the ‘Tax Act’), and one Share purchase warrant (a ‘Warrant’).

The securities issued under the Offering will be subject to a hold period ending on the date that is four months plus one day following the date of issue in accordance with applicable securities laws. Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one additional Share (a ‘Warrant Share‘) for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.75 per Warrant Share. The Warrants are subject to an accelerated expiry upon thirty (30) business days notice from the Company in the event the Shares trade for fourteen (14) consecutive trading days anytime after four (4) months from closing of the Private Placement at a volume-weighted average price of at least $0.90 on the Canadian Securities Exchange.

In connection with closing of the Private Placement, the Company incurred cash finder’s fees in the amount of $104,652.14 to certain eligible finders and issued the finders an aggregate of 151,668 non-transferable Share purchase warrants (the ‘Finder’s Warrants‘). Each Finder’s Warrant is exercisable into a Share (a ‘Finder’s Warrant Share‘) at a price of $0.75 per Finder’s Warrant Share for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance, subject to the same accelerated expiry.

Proceeds from the sale of FT Units will be used for exploration and drilling programs on the Company’s flagship, advanced stage, district-scale Swanson Gold Project (‘Swanson‘), located in the Abitibi Gold Belt in Val-d’Or, Québec, and flow-through eligible work such as ore-sorting and metallurgical testwork of a large bulk sample using independent geometallurgy experts such as SGS and SRC, and the Company’s 100%-owned Beacon Gold Mill, its near-term gold producing asset. The ore-sorting and metallurgical testwork will be completed using drill core and a large bulk sample from the Swanson Gold Deposit in order to inform and support mineral resource estimates and economic viability, including the potential effectiveness of ore-sorting technology at Swanson.

The Company is working diligently with ERM to complete the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) to evaluate the restart of gold production at its Beacon Gold Mill, which will primarily process mineralized material from the Company’s nearby Swanson Gold Deposit. The gross proceeds from the issuance of the FT Shares will be used to incur resource exploration expenses which will constitute ‘Canadian exploration expenses’ as defined in subsection 66.1(6) of the Income Tax Act and ‘flow through mining expenditures’ as defined in subsection 127(9) of the Income Tax Act and under section 359.1 of the Québec Tax Act (the ‘Qualifying Expenditures‘), which will be renounced with an effective date no later than December 31, 2025 to the purchasers of the FT Units in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issue of the FT Shares. In addition, with respect to Québec resident subscribers who are eligible individuals under the Québec Tax Act, the Canadian exploration expenses will also qualify for inclusion in the ‘exploration base relating to certain Québec exploration expenses’ within the meaning of section 726.4.10 of the Québec Tax Act and for inclusion in the ‘exploration base relating to certain Québec surface mining expenses or oil and gas exploration expenses’ within the meaning of section 726.4.17.2 of the Québec Tax Act. If the Qualifying Expenditures are reduced by the Canada Revenue Agency, the Company will indemnify each FT Share subscriber for any additional taxes payable by such subscriber as a result of the Company’s failure to renounce the Qualifying Expenditures as agreed.

Cobalt prices regained momentum in the third quarter of 2025 as tighter export controls from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) fueled expectations of a market rebound.

After languishing near multi-year lows early in the year, the metal surged to US$47,110 per metric ton in late October, its highest level since January 2023.

The DRC’s prolonged export suspension, followed by new quota limits, has begun to ease a years-long supply glut, with analysts now forecasting a shift from oversupply toward market balance.

All year-to-date and share price information was obtained on October 28, 2025, using TradingView’s stock screener. Companies with market caps above C$10 million at that time were considered.

1. Talon Metals (TSX:TLO)

Year-to-date gain: 358.82 percent
Market cap: C$440.55 million
Share price: C$0.39

Talon Metals is a base metals company advancing the Tamarack nickel-copper-cobalt project in Central Minnesota, US, through a joint venture with Rio Tinto (ASX:RIO,NYSE:RIO,LSE:RIO). Talon currently holds a 51 percent stake in the project and can earn up to 60 percent.

In late March, Talon Metals announced a massive sulfide discovery at its Tamarack project, with an intercept measuring 8.25 meters containing 95 percent sulfide content located deeper than the current Tamarack resource.

In May, a further massive sulfide discovery in the same zone, the thickest discovery yet at the site, drove the company’s share price up significantly, and another in early August did the same. In the August announcement, Talon shared that it named the discovery zone the Vault zone.

At the start of Q4, Talon announced an expanded winter drilling and exploration program at the Vault zone.

Shares of Talon rallied to a year-to-date high of C$0.54 on October 14, following the winter drill news and alongside rising cobalt prices.

On October 20, Talon received a 12 month extension from Rio Tinto subsidiary Kennecott Exploration to submit a feasibility study and US$10 million payment required to increase its ownership stake in the Tamarack project to 60 percent.

The extension will allow Talon to align the study’s release with the publication of the project’s scoping environmental assessment worksheet, expected in the first half of 2026, marking its entry into Minnesota’s formal environmental review process.

2. Leading Edge Materials (TSXV:LEM)

Year-to-date gain: 222.22 percent
Market cap: C$72.49 million
Share price: C$0.29

Leading Edge Materials is developing critical materials projects in the EU. The company’s projects include its wholly owned Woxna graphite mine and Norra Kärr heavy rare earth elements project, both in Sweden, as well as its 51 percent owned Bihor Sud nickel-cobalt exploration alliance in Romania.

According to its June 2025 presentation, exploration work planned for 2025 at Bihor Sud’s G2 gallery includes mapping and sampling of cobalt-nickel and zinc-lead-silver mineralized zones detected visually and by hand-held XRF. Drilling targeting polymetallic mineralization at the gallery is underway.

On the financial side, Leading Edge announced a C$400,000 non-brokered private placement in June.

According to a June 22 activities update, Leading Edge’s Romanian subsidiary was granted ownership and operational permits for the Avram Iancu mine at Bihor Sud, and the team had begun preliminary investigations of the site.

In its recent quarterly report, released September 19, Leading Edge Materials said it is reassessing its prospects after being granted those permits. at its project located within the Bihor Sud exploration area following the acquisition of additional ownership and operating permits.

The Avram Iancu site hosts extensive historic underground workings and data indicating copper-rich massive sulfide zones, the statement noted.

A competent person report is in progress to consolidate past exploration and outline next steps, while the company evaluates financing options to advance development.

Shares of Leading Edge also benefited from the mid-October cobalt price rally, registering a year-to-date high of C$0.44 on October 14.

3. Battery Mineral Resources (TSXV:BMR)

Year-to-date gain: 180 percent
Market cap: C$16.79 million
Share price: C$0.14

Battery Mineral Resources is focused on developing into a mid-tier copper producer and recently restarted mine and mill operations at the Punitaqui Mining Complex in Chile. In Canada, the company holds the largest land position in Ontario’s historic Cobalt district, where it is exploring high-grade primary cobalt deposits at McAra, Gowganda and Elk Lake.

The company’s portfolio also includes energy services and mineral exploration assets in North America, along with graphite projects in South Korea.

In late October, BMR said it was evaluating strategic options for its Gowganda silver tailings project, located northeast of Sudbury, Ontario.

The project lies in one of the country’s most productive past silver-cobalt districts, and the Gowganda mining camp produced 60 million ounces of silver and 1.3 million pounds of cobalt between 1910 and 1969. Gowganda hosts four former mines and associated tailings historically estimated to contain 2.96 million ounces of silver. BMR is assessing how best to advance or monetize the asset to enhance shareholder value.

On October 16, Battery Mineral Resources reported strong operational performance at its Punitaqui copper project in Chile, driven by improved underground production and plant optimization. Since September 1, 2025, underground operations have averaged 1,800 tonnes per day, up 80 percent from the first half of the year, and 2,000 tonnes per day over the recent two weeks period.

BMR is also advancing development of additional underground operations at Cinabrio Norte and Dalmacia to support further growth from Punitaqui.

The news pushed shares of BMR to a year-to-date high of C$0.17 on October 21.

4. FPX Nickel (TSXV:FPX)

Year-to-date gain: 95.74 percent
Market cap: C$144.81 million
Share price: C$0.46

FPX Nickel is currently advancing its Decar nickel district in BC, Canada.

The property comprises four key targets, with the Baptiste deposit being the primary focus, alongside the Van target. The company also has three other nickel projects in BC and one in the Yukon, Canada.

In February, FPX released a scoping study for the development of a refinery that would refine awaruite concentrate from Baptiste into battery-grade nickel sulfate and by-products of cobalt carbonate, copper and ammonium sulfate. Annual output is anticipated at 32,000 metric tons of contained nickel and 570 metric tons of contained cobalt.

The results show that the process would result in operating and all-in production costs near the bottom of nickel sulfate cost curve, in part due to by-product credits. Additionally, the carbon intensity of the awaruite refinery would be significantly lower than that of currently used production methods.

On September 4, FPX completed a large-scale mineral processing pilot campaign for its Baptiste nickel project, following three prior successful campaigns. The latest production run generated bulk samples of awaruite concentrate, which will be provided to prospective partners, including pre-cursor cathode active materials, battery producers and automakers, to assess its suitability as feedstock.

Later in the month, FPX signed an option agreement to acquire up to 100 percent of the Advocate nickel property in Newfoundland, Canada, following its review of over 50 targets. The property has also been accepted by the Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security (JOGMEC) as the first designated property under the generative alliance between FPX and JOGMEC, with a significant work program planned to build on encouraging surface nickel recoveries.

FPX shares registered a year-to-date high of C$0.55 on October 17.

5. Wheaton Precious Metals (TSX:WPM)

Year-to-date gain: 61.23 percent
Market cap: C$60.38 billion
Share price: C$133.00

Wheaton Precious Metals is one of the largest gold and silver royalty and streaming companies.

It has investments in 18 operating mines and 28 development projects across four continents, including a cobalt streaming agreement for Vale’s (NYSE:VALE) Voisey’s Bay nickel mine in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

According to Wheaton, Voisey’s Bay is currently in a transitional phase, shifting from the depleted Ovoid open pit to full underground production.

The company reported its Q1 financial results on May 8. The report highlighted a record US$470 million in revenue, US$254 million in net earnings and US$361 million in operating cash flow.

The cobalt segment registered year-on-year attributable production gains, rising to 540,000 pounds in the year’s first quarter, compared to 240,000 pounds during Q1 2024. Despite the output increase, sales fell to 265,000 pounds in Q1 versus 309,000 pounds in Q1 2024.

According to Wheaton’s Q2 2025 results, the Voisey’s Bay mine produced 647,000 pounds of attributable cobalt, a roughly 150 percent increase from the same period in 2024. Vale reported that the underground operations are steadily ramping up, with full production expected by the second half of 2026 as the transition from the depleted Ovoid open-pit continues.

Shares of Wheaton rose to a year-to-date high of C$159.41 on October 16 alongside rising prices for gold, silver and cobalt.

FAQs for cobalt

What is cobalt?

Cobalt is a silver-gray metal that is often produced as a by-product of nickel and copper mining. It does not occur as a separate metal anywhere in the world, and must be produced by reductive smelting, or from the metallic ore cobaltite, which is made of cobalt, sulfur and arsenic.

What is cobalt used for?

Historically, cobalt oxides were used to impart a blue pigment to glass, porcelain and paints, hence the still-used cobalt blue paint. The metal is also used to produce superalloys, as cobalt imparts qualities such as corrosion and wear resistance, which are useful in applications such as airplanes, orthopedics and prosthetics.

Today cobalt is most famously used in the rechargeable lithium-ion batteries that run everything from smartphones to EVs.

Where is cobalt mined?

The majority of cobalt production comes out of the DRC, which was responsible for producing 220,000 metric tons of the material in 2024. For perspective, the second largest cobalt-producing country, Indonesia, reported output of 28,000 MT the same year; third place Russia produced 8,700 MT of the material.

As the lithium-ion battery and EV supply chains garner global attention, companies are trying to limit their exposure to cobalt produced from the DRC, which is known for human rights abuses and sometimes child labor in its mining industry.

In response to this trend, many countries with cobalt are attempting to create domestic cobalt and EV supply chains in the hope of attracting companies looking to avoid DRC-sourced cobalt. This can be seen in the up-and-coming battery corridor in Ontario, Canada, as well as in the US-based Idaho cobalt belt.

Coelacanth Energy Inc. (TSXV: CEI,OTC:CEIEF) (‘Coelacanth’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to provide the following update:

BANK CREDIT FACILITY
Coelacanth has signed an agreement to increase its bank credit facility from $52 million to $80 million with closing expected in mid-November. The Company estimates net bank debt relative to the credit facility to be $43 million as at September 30, 2025. The additional liquidity provided will be used, in part, to fund the fall drilling program noted below.

OPERATIONS UPDATE
Coelacanth is currently drilling 3 additional wells in the Lower Montney on its 5-19 Pad at Two Rivers East. Completions are anticipated for late November for an on-stream date of early February 2026. Coelacanth’s last 3 wells on the pad tested a combined 4,872 boe/d (60% light oil) and similar results are expected(1).

Coelacanth is currently producing 4 of its 9 wells on the 5-19 pad plus its legacy production at Two Rivers West. Based on field estimates, current production is approximately 4,400 boe/d (40% light oil). The remaining 5 wells are scheduled to come on production sequentially from mid-November until year-end. Test production on the 5 remaining wells was approximately 6,400 boe/d on a combined basis but net of flush production and declines, Coelacanth estimates production will be approximately 8,400 boe/d (40% light oil) at year-end and then exceed 10,000 boe/d in February 2026 when the new wells are on production (1).

Coelacanth’s business plan includes delineating and developing its large Montney resource that includes 4 potential Montney benches on its 150 section contiguous block of land at Two Rivers in northeast British Columbia.

NEITHER THE TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE NOR ITS REGULATION SERVICES PROVIDER (AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN THE POLICIES OF THE TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE) ACCEPTS RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THIS RELEASE.

Oil and Gas Terms
The Company uses the following frequently recurring oil and gas industry terms in the news release:

Liquids
Bbls Barrels
Bbls/d Barrels per day
NGLs Natural gas liquids (includes condensate, pentane, butane, propane, and ethane)

 

Natural Gas
Mcf Thousands of cubic feet
Mcf/d Thousands of cubic feet per day
MMcf/d Millions of cubic feet per day

 

Oil Equivalent
Boe Barrels of oil equivalent
Boe/d Barrels of oil equivalent per day

 

Disclosure provided herein in respect of a boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion rate of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil equivalent has been used for the calculation of boe amounts in the news release. This boe conversion rate is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.

Product Types
The Company uses the following references to sales volumes in the news release:

Natural gas refers to shale gas
Oil refers to tight oil
NGLs refers to butane, propane and pentanes combined
Liquids refers to tight oil and NGLs combined
Oil equivalent refers to the total oil equivalent of shale gas, tight oil, and NGLs combined, using the conversion rate of six thousand cubic feet of shale gas to one barrel of oil equivalent as described above.

Forward-Looking Information

The use of any of the words ‘expect’, ‘anticipate’, ‘continue’, ‘estimate’, ‘may’, ‘will’, ‘should’, ‘believe’, ‘intends’, ‘forecast’, ‘plans’, ‘guidance’ and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements or information.

More particularly and without limitation, this document contains forward-looking statements and information relating to the Company’s oil, NGLs and natural gas production and capital programs. The forward-looking statements and information are based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by the Company, including expectations and assumptions relating to prevailing commodity prices and exchange rates, applicable royalty rates and tax laws, future well production rates, the performance of existing wells, the success of drilling new wells, the availability of capital to undertake planned activities and the availability and cost of labor and services.

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements and information are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Since forward-looking statements and information address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors and risks. These include, but are not limited to, the risks associated with the oil and gas industry in general such as operational risks in development, exploration and production, delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures, the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to production rates, costs and expenses, commodity price and exchange rate fluctuations, marketing and transportation, environmental risks, competition, the ability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources and changes in tax, royalty and environmental legislation. The forward-looking statements and information contained in this document are made as of the date hereof for the purpose of providing the readers with the Company’s expectations for the coming year. The forward-looking statements and information may not be appropriate for other purposes.

A pressure transient analysis or well-test interpretation has not been carried out on these nine wells and thus certain of the test results provided herein should be considered to be preliminary until such analysis or interpretation has been completed. Test results and initial production rates disclosed herein, particularly those short in duration, may not necessarily be indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery.

Any references to peak rates, test rates, IP30, IP90, IP180 or initial production rates or declines are useful for confirming the presence of hydrocarbons, however, such rates and declines are not determinative of the rates at which such wells will continue production and decline thereafter and are not indicative of long-term performance or ultimate recovery. IP30 is defined as an average production rate over 30 consecutive days, IP90 is defined as an average production rate over 90 consecutive days and IP180 is defined as an average production rate over 180 consecutive days. Readers are cautioned not to place reliance on such rates in calculating aggregate production for the Company.
