About NAM
New Age Metals is a junior mineral exploration and development company focused on the discovery,
exploration, and development of critical green metal projects in North America. The Company has
three divisions: a Platinum Group Element division, a Lithium/Rare Metals division, an AntimonyGold Division as well as an investment in MetalQuest Mining’s (TSXV:MQM | OTC:MQMIF) high purity
Lac Otelnuk Iron Project.
The PGM Division includes the 100% owned, multi-million-ounce, district-scale River Valley
Project, one of North America’s largest undeveloped Platinum Group Element Projects,
situated 100 km by road east of Sudbury, Ontario. In addition to River Valley, NAM owns 100% of
the Genesis PGM-Cu-Ni Project in Alaska. Most recent PGM announcement:

On January 21st 2026, the Company recently expanded its Platinum Group Metals portfolio through
the acquisition of the Northern Shield PGM Project in Ontario’s Ring of Fire region, strengthening its
exposure to district-scale mafic–ultramafic systems prospective for nickel, copper, and platinum
group elements.
On February 26, 2026, the Company also acquired the Platreef PGM and Escape East PGM Projects
both platinum group metals–nickel–copper (PGM–Ni–Cu) exploration properties located in
northwestern Ontario within and nearby the prospective Lac des Iles Igneous Complex. The Complex
hosts Canada’s only primary palladium-producing operation, owned and operated by Impala Canada
Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Impala Platinum Holdings Limited.
New Age Metals’ Antimony–Gold division is located in Newfoundland and comprises a 20,950-
hectare land package across 11 non-contiguous properties. Six of these properties are situated
in the St. Alban’s area, along Canstar’s Swanger and Little River mineralized trends. The remaining
five properties are strategically positioned along the same regional geological trend as the pastproducing Beaver Brook Antimony Mine and are also located near New Found Gold’s Queensway
South Gold Project.
Management completed two phases on the project to date. The Phase 2 program successfully
delineated multiple gold–antimony (Au–Sb) trends, and the Company is currently planning follow-up
exploration while awaiting additional assay results. These results were used to guide exploration
targeting and program planning for 2026. Most recent releases: https://newagemetals.com/axiomexploration-group-initiates-xcite-helicopter-borne-tdem-survey-over-nams-sentinel-antimonyproperty-newfoundland-nam-monitors-fintech-solutions-to-enhance-market-transparency/

The Bonanza Ridge Gold and Critical Metals Project has been significantly expanded with the
option agreements for the Lavender Lake and South Gibi Lake properties, adding a combined
~5,216 hectares (~12,889 acres) of prospective ground in the Kenora Gold District of northwestern
Ontario. These properties, located about 25 km southeast of Kenora, are strategically positioned
along a favourable structural corridor adjacent to NAM’s flagship Bonanza Gold Property, and host
known gold and copper occurrences with minimal modern exploration to date. The consolidated
portfolio now comprises approximately 8,500 hectares of contiguous land within an emerging gold
and critical metals jurisdiction, providing substantial opportunities for follow-up field work,
structural modeling, target generation, and future drill campaigns. Recent announcement:

The Company has established a field office in Kenora, Ontario to support exploration activities
across Northwestern Ontario and Eastern Manitoba. The facility provides centralized logistical,
technical, and administrative support (along with living facilities) for regional exploration programs
and has improved field efficiency and project coordination.
The Company’s Lithium Division is one of the largest mineral claim holders in the Winnipeg River
Pegmatite Field, where the Company is exploring hard rock lithium and various rare elements such
as tantalum, rubidium, and cesium. NAM is developing its lithium division where a previous
option arrangement facilitated approximately ~11.5m in exploration and development
expenditures. See press release here.
On August 6, 2025, New Age Metals announced an additional investment in a 4th critical metal.
NAM currently owns approximately 14.39% of MetalQuest Mining (TSXV: MQM), which has
ownership of the development-stage Lac Otelnuk Iron Project, located in the Labrador Trough,
Quebec.
MetalQuest Mining Inc. is developing one of North Americas largest iron projects, where
approximately $120 million has been spent on the project. For more information, please visit
MetalQuestMining.com . High-purity iron became a critical metal Federally in Canada and in
the Provinces of Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador in 2024. In the summer of 2025,
MQM contracted AtkinsRealis, an international engineering company, to complete a GAP
Analysis on the Lac Otelnuk Project. Management is currently working with AtkinsRealis to
complete a round of metallurgy after completing a successful project visit on June 6 2026.
MetalQuest Mining Inc. (“MQM”) has expanded its presence in the Ontario Ring of Fire through
the acquisition of both the ROF-1 Project and the recently announced Fishhook Polymetallic
Project. The Fishhook Project further strengthens MetalQuest’s regional footprint, targeting
polymetallic mineralization prospective for base and critical metals. Management working with its
technical team plans to complete a geophysical program before the end of September 2026 on the
Fishhook project. Further announcements will be forthcoming.
Management is currently aggressively seeking new mineral acquisition opportunities on an
international scale. Our philosophy is to be a project generator with the objective of optioning our
projects with major and junior mining companies through to production.
