Oreterra Metals Corp. (TSXV: OTMC,OTC:RMIOD) (OTCID: OTMCF) (OTCID: RMIOD) (FSE: D4R0) (WKN: A421RQ) (‘Oreterra’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce that, further to its press releases of February 10, 2026, February 12, 2026, February 18, 2026 and February 19, 2026, it has closed the first tranche of its oversubscribed and upsized non-brokered private placement with the placement of 12,068,332 hard-dollar units (‘HD Units’) of the Company at a price of $0.45 per HD Unit for gross proceeds of $5.43M and the placement of 7,708,000 flow-through units (‘FT Units’) at a price of $0.50 per FT Unit for gross proceeds of $3.85M (collectively, the ‘First Closing’). A second closing of the private placement, bringing gross proceeds to $9.7M, is scheduled for March 4, 2026.

‘The fact that this financing has attracted the extraordinary level of interest that it has, is a testament to the strength of Trek South as a porphyry copper-gold discovery prospect and the strong resurgence of market interest in such prospects,’ said Kevin Keough, CEO. ‘More than 115 separate investors participated, 83% of whom are new to the Company, including major funds who as a group will now own approximately 25% of the Company on a fully diluted basis, and resource-knowledgeable investors from as far afield as Europe and Australia. Moreover, we also achieved exposure to most of the major mining-focused brokerage firms in the country. All of this has broadened awareness of Oreterra and its prospects as we advance, now fully financed, toward the first-ever drilling of Trek South this summer.’

Offering Details:

The non-brokered private placement is now for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $9,684,000 through the issuance of a combination of $5,500,000 in hard-dollar units (‘HD Units‘) of the Company at a price of $0.45 per HD Unit and $4,184,000 in flow-through units (‘FT Units‘) at a price of $0.50 per FT Unit (collectively, the ‘Offering‘).

Each HD Unit, priced at $0.45, comprises one (1) common share of the Company and one (1) common share purchase warrant (each a ‘HD Warrant‘). Each HD Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.60 per share for three years following the closing of the Offering.

Each FT Unit, priced at $0.50, comprises one (1) flow-through share of the Company (each a ‘FT Share‘) and one (1) common share purchase warrant (each an ‘FT Warrant‘). Each FT Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.60 per share for three years following the closing of the Offering.

First Closing Details:

The Company paid ten eligible finders. Nine received cash fees in the aggregate of $409,917.05 and 840,751 broker warrants (each a ‘Broker Warrant‘). Each Broker Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one additional common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.60 per share for three years following the closing of the Offering. The tenth finder received 18,000 HD Units in lieu of cash compensation of $8,100.

All securities issued under the First Closing are subject to a hold period expiring on June 28, 2026.

About Oreterra Metals Corp.

Oreterra Metals Corp. commenced trading on February 2, 2026, under the new ticker OTMC, following a months-long effort to restructure the former Romios Gold Resources Inc. Management took on the task because it believes the Company’s wholly-owned Trek South porphyry copper-gold prospect represents, based upon the impressive results of the spectrum of geosciences applied to the target area to date, among the finest new targets of its kind in BC’s Golden Triangle. The Company recently released (news, January 22, 2026) a National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report for the Trek property which recommends two initial phases of drilling at Trek South, for execution in the approaching 2026 field season. A copy of the Technical Report is available on the Company’s website at www.oreterra.com, and on the Company’s SEDAR+ issuer profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

Additional wholly-owned Company property interests include two former producers in Nevada: the Kinkaid claims in the Walker Lane trend covering numerous shallow Au-Ag-Cu workings over what is believed to be one or more porphyry centres (source: J.Biczok, P.Geo, June 2025, Kinkaid Gold-Copper-Silver Project, www.oreterra.com), and the Scossa mine property in the Sleeper trend which is a former high-grade gold producer (source: J.Biczok, P.Geo, July 2025, Scossa Historic Gold Mine Property, www.oreterra.com). The Company also holds a 100% interest in the large Lundmark-Akow Lake Au-Cu property adjacent to the northwest of the Musselwhite Mine in northwestern Ontario, where drilling by the Company has produced highly encouraging, broad VMS-style Au-Cu intersections.

Transition Metals Corp. (TSXV: XTM) (‘Transition’, ‘the Company’), is pleased to announce that it has vested a 100% interest in the Pike Warden property, a porphyry-epithermal exploration asset located in southern Yukon. This acquisition consolidates the Company’s control over the property and positions it for continued exploration activities and partnering opportunities. The Company will seek a partner to more aggressively explore the large mineralized system opportunity.

‘This acquisition represents an important step in expanding Transition Metals’ portfolio of high-quality exploration assets,’ said Scott McLean, CEO of Transition Metals. ‘The Pike Warden property has strong exploration potential, and the work carried out by Transition to date has identified over 30 high grade Au-Ag epithermal and Cu-Mo porphyry showings, which together with the geophysical and mapping data demonstrate a large porphyry and epithermal mineralizing system.‘

Terms of Vesting

The project was optioned from a local geologist in 2022 (see news release dated June 28, 2022). The Company has vested its interest by paying the Optionor $120,000, issuing 1,000,000 shares, and spending $1,000,000 in exploration over the four-year period. The Optionor retains a 1% Net Smelter Return royalty on the Property.

Financing

The Company is pleased to announce that it intends to raise up to $1,000,000 by way of a non-brokered private placement consisting of up to 8,695,652 Charity Flow Through Units (the ‘CFU‘) at a price of $0.115 per CFU. The initial Purchasers of the CFU may subsequently donate such CFU to registered charitable organizations, who may in turn choose to sell such CFU Units (the ‘Re-Offered Units’) to purchasers at a price of $0.08 per Re-Offered Unit (the ‘Re-Offer Price’) or sell such Re-Offered Units to purchasers at the Re-Offer Price. The Company will not be a party to any such arrangements. The Re-Offered Units will consist of a common share and a half warrant. Each full warrant entitles the investor to purchase a common share in the Company at any time for $0.115 for a period of 18 months. A finder’s fee may be paid in connection with the Offering to finders, as determined by mutual agreement between the Corporation and the finders and subject to regulatory approval. The finders’ fee will consist of 6% cash for Units sold to investors introduced by such finders, and non-transferable share purchase warrants equal to 6% of such CFU sold to investors (‘Compensation Warrants’). The Compensation Warrants will permit the purchase of one common share in the capital of the Company for 18 months from closing at a price of $0.115.

Proceeds from the CFT Shares issued in connection with the Offering will be used to explore and advance critical minerals properties in Ontario (Saturday Night PGM) and Northwest Territories (Dessert Lake U) as well as Ontario precious metal project (Gowganda Au). The securities issued in connection with the Offering, including any common shares issued upon exercise of the Compensation Warrants, will be subject to a four-month restricted resale period and applicable securities legislation hold periods outside of Canada from the closing date. Completion of the Offering will be subject to all necessary approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. There can be no assurance that the Offering will be completed as proposed or at all.

Quimbaya Gold Inc. (CSE: QIM,OTC:QIMGF) (OTCQX: QIMGF) (FSE: K05) (‘Quimbaya’ or the ‘Company’) reports the completion of drone-based magnetic and radiometric surveys covering approximately 800 hectares of the Tahami Center concession. The survey area includes zones where geological reconnaissance and sampling have identified features interpreted as potentially associated with a porphyry-style copper system. These features define a prospective surface trend of approximately 3.1 km by 1.3 km.

Highlights

• High magnetization vector intensity (MVI) anomalies show two subvertical zones dipping to the southeast. These are interpreted to be porphyry intrusions. They coincide with the mapped porphyry-style potassic alteration and veining with anomalous Cu, Au and Mo geochemistry.

• A MVI low anomaly on the SE side coincides with the mapped lithocap in which alteration is magnetite-destructive.

• Magnetic anomalies interpreted to be associated with a porphyry intrusive suite extend over approximately 3.1 km in length and 1.3 km in width, with a dominant northwest-southeast orientation (Figure 1).

• Pad locations for the maiden drilling program at the Tahami Center target area will be defined following the completion and integration of soil, rock and stream sediment geochemical assay results, detailed geological mapping, and preliminary 3D geological – geophysical modeling. This work is expected to be finalized this month.

‘The work completed to date at Tahami continues to strengthen our confidence in the exploration potential of the project,’ said Alexandre P. Boivin, CEO of Quimbaya Gold. ‘This survey materially strengthens our technical thesis at Tahami Center. We are seeing a large, coherent subsurface magnetic system that aligns with mapped surface mineralization and alteration. That level of consistency supports advancing confidently toward drill testing as we define our initial targets.’

‘The presence of well-developed porphyry-style veinlets at surface is considered significant in the context of the Company’s exploration model for a porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum system,’ stated Ricardo Sierra, B.Sc., MAusIMM, Vice President Exploration and Qualified Person. ‘Geophysical cross-sections and a plan view at approximately -700 meters in elevation (Figure 2) demonstrate a spatial correlation between the mapped surface porphyry-style mineralization and a projected subsurface magnetic high identified in the recently completed airborne magnetic survey. These magnetic anomalies may reflect zones of increased magnetite content, which in porphyry systems can be associated with potassic alteration. This interpretation is conceptual in nature and has not yet been confirmed by drilling. Confirmation will require diamond drilling and the integration of pending radiometric survey, soil and rock geochemical assay results.’

Detailed geological mapping has identified an area interpreted as a preserved lithocap in the east – southeastern portion of the mining concession. This zone spatially coincides with low magnetic susceptibility values observed in the MVI survey. The reduced magnetic response is interpreted to reflect magnetite destruction associated with intense advanced argillic alteration. This alteration is locally associated with quartz vein systems in which gold, silver, and copper mineralization has been identified through surface sampling.

Qualified Person

Ricardo Sierra, AusIMM, is a non-independent Officer ‘VP Exploration’ and the Qualified Person for this news release. The scientific and technical content of this press release has been reviewed and approved by Mr. Sierra, who has sufficient experience with South American exploration projects relevant to the style of mineralization and type of deposit under consideration. He consents to the inclusion of the Exploration Results in the form and context in which they appear.

Bold Ventures Inc. (TSXV: BOL,OTC:BVLDF) (the ‘Company’ or ‘Bold’) is pleased to announce that it has signed an agreement dated February 27, 2026 (the ‘Vending Agreement’) with 2099840 Ontario Inc. oa Emerald Geological Services (‘EGS’) to acquire 6 staked mining claims (the ‘Additional Claims’) contiguous to its Joutel Property, located 140 km northwest of Val d’Or, Quebec in consideration for the issuance of 750,000 common shares of the Company to EGS (the ‘Transaction’). EGS is a non-arm’s length party controlled by Bruce MacLachlan, President and COO of Bold, and Coleman Robertson, VP Exploration of Bold. The Additional Claims cover versatile time-domain electromagnetic (VTEMTM) geophysical anomalies from a 2012 survey carried out on the Joutel Property by Bold. Anomalous area 3B (see Figure 1) is associated with historical diamond drill hole intercepts of 0.83% Nickel over 3.7 metres including 1.27% nickel over 2.3 metres, as well as 0.51 gt gold over 3.05 metres (see Figure 2). The Vending Agreement and Transaction are subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Bold CEO David Graham commented that ‘we are pleased to have re-assembled our Joutel claims. Our 2012 VTEM survey outlined a number of anomalies that we believe are prospective for Nickel (Ni), Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn), Gold (Au) and Silver (Ag). We are excited to explore these anomalies to generate what we anticipate will be high potential drill targets.’

Bruce MacLachlan, President and COO of Bold Ventures and President and CEO of EGS, stated: ‘The proposed acquisition of the EGS claims is a major step forward for Bold’s Joutel project, which will become a consolidated land package of 58 claims comprising 3217 hectares covering numerous geophysical anomalies associated with known base and precious metal mineralization. We anticipate a ground geophysical survey this winter to better define these geophysical anomalies in advance of drilling.’

The transaction is a related party transaction as EGS is a non-arm’s length party controlled by Bruce MacLachlan and Coleman Robertson, two insiders of the Company. The related party transaction is exempt from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (‘MI 61-101‘) by virtue of the exemptions contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1) (a) of MI 61-101 in that the fair market value of the consideration for the securities of the Company to be issued to EGS does not exceed 25% of its market capitalization.

About the Joutel Property

The Joutel claim group of Bold Ventures Inc. (‘Bold‘) is located approximately 140 km northwest of the city of Val d’Or, Québec, and 6 kilometres south-southeast of the historical mining town of Joutel, Québec, in Poirier and Dalet Townships (see Figure 3). The property currently consists of 52 staked claims.

The property area was previously worked by Bold in 2012, when Bold flew a versatile time domain electromagnetic (VTEM^TM) survey over the area. Bold let the Additional Claims lapse in 2014 and the Additional Claims were acquired by EGS before Bruce MacLachlan and Coleman Robertson became insiders of Bold. In the northern part of the current property, the 2012 survey identified anomalous area 3B which is spatially associated with historical values in diamond drill core of 0.83% nickel over 3.7 metres including 1.27% nickel over 2.3 metres, as well as 0.51 g/t gold over 3.05 metres (see Figure 1 and Figure 2). Historical holes also intersected anomalous copper and zinc. In the southern part of the property where anomalous areas 3C and 3D were identified by the airborne survey, there is one drill hole totaling 155 meters recorded in the Quebec drillhole database (https://sigeom.mines.gouv.qc.ca).

Known deposits within 11 kilometres of the northern property boundary include the past-producing Joutel gold mine, the Poirier base metal mine, the Joutel copper deposit, and the Explo-Zinc base metal deposit (see Figure 3). For more information refer to the Joutel Property information page on Bold’s website.
