(TheNewswire)

Vancouver, B.C. TheNewswire – February 9, 2026 Armory Mining Corp. (CSE: ARMY) (OTC: RMRYF) (FRA: 2JS) (the ‘Company’ or ‘Armory’) a resource exploration company focused on the discovery and development of minerals critical to the energy, security and defense sectors, is pleased to announce that is preparing to conduct a series of airborne geophysics surveys at the Ammo antimony-gold project (‘Ammo’) located in Nova Scotia, Canada.

The planned airborne geophysics surveys have been designed using efficient 50-meter flight lines (Fig 1) to collect information from associated sulfide mineralization, sericite and potassic alteration and probable pathfinder related uranium anomalies.

The Company intends on undertaking a magnetic survey designed to collect information regarding geological characteristics including structural and lithological features, an electromagnetic survey to collect data correlated with associated sulfide mineralization, and a radiometric survey to collect any possible correlation between uranium anomalies and the target mineralization.

‘These surveys form an important part of preliminary exploration critical to defining drill targets at Ammo,’ said Alex Klenman, CEO of Armory Mining. ‘The data generated by the surveys will aid tremendously in determining the best areas to drill.  The geological team has outlined a comprehensive exploration plan for the Ammo project, and we’re committed to completing these next steps,’ continued Mr. Klenman.

The Property

• The Company has the option to acquire a 100% interest in the Ammo Sb-Au project, comprising three contiguous mineral claims (Exploration Licenses) surrounding the historical West Gore antimony-gold mine, a past producer of antimony and gold, located in central Nova Scotia, Canada covering approximately 3,020 hectares (Fig. 2). 

• The property is underlain by sericitic slates and minor intercalated arenites of the Halifax formation, a member of the Ordovician Meguma Group. It is made up of a basal sandy flysch unit known as the Goldenville formation and an overlying shaly flysch unit known as the Halifax formation which hosts the West Gore gold-antimony mineralization. Peraluminous granites and minor mafic bodies intrude the Meguma Group sedimentary. This magmatic activity seems to be responsible for the hydrothermal activity that caused the gold mineralization (Fig 2). 

• The mineralization in adjacent West Gore mineralization occurs throughout the Meguma Group stratigraphy. The mineralization is generally in laterally continuous veins were emplaced during hydrofracturing in brittle ductile deformation dominated by quartz-carbonate gangue and iron sulphides with free gold, generally micron sized but nuggets up to 11 ounces have been reported. The sulfides with mineralization including Pyrite, pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite, stibnite, chalcopyrite, galena, sphalerite and iron oxides are associated with quartz-carbonate veins or sheared host rocks in the Mineralized zone.

First drill testing of a large-scale Rossing-style uranium target, along trend of Namibia’s giant uranium deposits

ReeXploration Inc. (TSXV: REE) (FSE: K2I0) (‘ReeXploration’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce the launch of a fully funded uranium drilling program at the Eureka Project in central Namibia. This campaign marks the Company’s first drill testing of a large-scale uranium target, 6.5 x 3.5 km in extent, defined through integrated geophysical, geochemical, and geological work. The target is located along trend of Namibia’s world renowned ‘Alaskite Alley’, a corridor hosting giant leucogranite-hosted uranium deposits.

The drill campaign will evaluate a range of priority zones distributed across the broader target area, selected on the basis of airborne and ground uranium radiometric responses, uranium-in-soil geochemistry, and interpreted favourable structural and lithological settings. The priority zones all fall within a regional geological setting consistent with leucogranite-hosted uranium systems elsewhere in Namibia’s Central Zone, including the Rössing, Husab, and Etango deposits.

The core drilling program is expected to include up to 2,000 metres of drilling across 12 to 15 drill holes, and will be results-driven. Drill holes are designed to test for primary leucogranite-hosted uranium mineralization below the weathering profile.

‘The start of drilling at Eureka marks a significant milestone for ReeXploration, representing our first drill program on a large and highly prospective uranium system,’ said Christopher Drysdale, Interim CEO of ReeXploration. ‘This initial campaign will evaluate several priority zones and generate critical information to refine our geological understanding and guide future exploration. Importantly, Eureka also hosts confirmed rare earth element mineralization, providing the Company with dual-commodity exposure and long-term strategic optionality. Operating in Namibia, with its proven history of supporting responsible exploration and development, significantly enhances our ability to advance and unlock the full potential of the Eureka Project.’

Program Overview and Next Steps

The initial drilling phase (up to 2,000 metres in 12 to 15 drill holes) is designed to provide first-pass testing of the uranium system at depth and to validate the geological model developed from recent radiometric surveys, soil geochemistry, and field mapping.

Priority zones for drill testing have been identified based on coincident:

• Airborne uranium radiometric anomalies
• High total gamma responses (>500 cps) from ground spectrometer surveys
• Uranium-in-soil anomalies (>10 ppm U) identified by pXRF analysis
• Interpreted leucogranites in contact with reactive calc-silicate host rocks

The zones include occurrences of visible secondary uranium mineralization identified within leucogranites and gypcretes/calcretes.

Drilling will consist of core drill holes designed to confirm the presence, style, and continuity of uranium mineralization at depth, and to improve the Company’s understanding of the broader uranium system across the Eureka Project area.

• Drilling at the Road Cut Zone extends mineralisation more than 150 m down-dip along the Contact Zone Fault, including 11.0 m at 1.54 g/t Au from 380.0 m (KDD0142)

• Jagger Zone results confirm broad and continuous mineralisation at depth, highlighted by 13.0 m at 1.77 g/t Au and a high-grade interval of 2.0 m at 26.08 g/t Au (KDD0138)

• Mineralisation remains open at depth and along strike at both Jagger and Road Cut Zones as drilling advances toward resource definition

Kobo Resources Inc. (‘ Kobo’ or the ‘ Company ‘) ( TSX.V: KRI ) is pleased to report diamond drill results from six additional holes completed at the Jagger and Road Cut Zones at its 100%-owned Kossou Gold Project (‘ Kossou ‘) in Côte d’Ivoire. The results confirm depth continuity within the established shear systems and extend mineralisation along the Contact Zone Fault.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260209917232/en/

Diamond Drill Results Highlights:

Road Cut Zone:

• KDD0142
  • 4.0 metres ( ‘ m’) at 2.39 g/t Au from 139.0 m
  • 6.0 m at 1.89 g/t Au from 232.0 m
  • 11.0 m at 1.54 g/t Au from 380.0 m
  • 5.0 m at 1.84 g/t Au from 395.0 m

Jagger Zone :

• KDD0138
  • 13.0 m at 1.77 g/t Au from 269.0 m, incl. 4.0 m at 3.32 g/t Au from 277.0 m
  • 2.0 m at 26.08 g/t Au from 342.0 m
• KDD0141
  • 22.0 m at 0.87 g/t Au from 270.0 m, incl. 14.0 m at 1.09 g/t Au from 279.0 m

Edward Gosselin, CEO and Director of Kobo commented: ‘These results continue to confirm the strength and continuity of gold mineralisation within both the Jagger and Road Cut shear systems at our Kossou Gold Project. At the Road Cut Zone, drilling has extended mineralisation more than 150 m down-dip along the Contact Zone Fault, reinforcing its significance as a key structural control. At the Jagger Zone, broad zones of mineralisation and high-grade intercepts at depth continue to demonstrate the scale and vertical continuity of the system. Importantly, we remain highly encouraged that mineralisation remains open, and we will continue our systematic drilling strategy to expand both zones as we advance toward resource definition in 2026.’

Road Cut Zone: KDD0142 Confirms Down-Dip Extension of Contact Zone Fault Mineralisation

KDD0142 was drilled on section RCZ600 to test the down-dip extension of gold mineralisation associated with the Contact Zone Fault and has successfully extended the system to more than 150 m below surface (see Figure 2).

The hole intersected multiple mineralised zones across the shear system, including 6.0 m at 1.89 g/t Au from 232.0 m , 11.0 m at 1.54 g/t Au from 380.0 m , and 5.0 m at 1.84 g/t Au from 395.0 m . These results build on earlier intersections from KDD0109 , which returned 10.0 m at 1.86 g/t Au from 204.0 m ( see news release dated October 30, 2025 ). To the north on section RCZ550, previous results include KDD0052 that returned multiple gold zones associated with the Contact Zone Fault shear system including 5.0 m at 1.01 g/t Au from 228.0, 6.0 m at 1.26 g/t Au from 244.0 m and 6.0 m at 1.94 g/t Au from 264.0 m (see press release dated January 13, 2025 for details).

Together, these results confirm depth continuity of mineralisation along the Contact Zone Fault target . These results further prioritize the Contact Zone Fault as a key mineralised structure at the Road Cut Zone. The area remains open along strike and at depth, and additional drilling is planned to further define and extend mineralisation to the north, south and down dip.

Jagger Zone: Broad Mineralised Zones Confirm Depth Continuity

Drill hole KDD0138 on section JZ750 intersected 13.0 m at 1.77 g/t Au from 269.0 m , confirming the continuation of mineralisation below KDD0100 , which returned 11.0 m at 1.26 g/t Au ( see news release dated October 30, 2025 ). These results extend gold mineralisation on the section to more than 150 m below surface .

The hole also intersected a narrow but high-grade structure, returning 2.0 m at 26.08 g/t Au from 342.0 m , demonstrating the presence of higher-grade individual structures within the broader Jagger Shear system (see Figures 3 and 4).

On section JZ900 , drill hole KDD0141 intersected a broad zone averaging 22.0 m at 0.87 g/t Au from 270.0 m , including 14.0 m at 1.09 g/t Au from 279.0 m , confirming continuity of the mineralised shear system to approximately 180 m below surface (see Figure 5). Drill hole KDD0123 , located immediately above, previously returned 7.0 m at 1.48 g/t Au and 4.0 m at 1.31 g/t Au ( see news release dated January 14, 2026 ), further supporting vertical continuity.

Mineralisation remains open at depth on both sections. Full assay results from all six holes are presented in Table 1.

Table 1: Summary of Significant Diamond Drill Hole Results

An accurate dip and strike and controls of mineralisation are unconfirmed and mineralised zones are reported as downhole lengths. Drill holes are planned to intersect mineralised zones perpendicular to interpreted targets. All intercepts reported are downhole distances, true widths are unknown.

Sampling, QA/QC, and Analytical Procedures

Drill core was logged and sampled by Kobo personnel at site. Drill cores were sawn in half, with one half remaining in the core box and the other half secured into new plastic sample bags with sample number tickets. Core samples are drilled using HQ core barrels to below the level of oxidation and then reduced to NQ core barrels for the remainder of the bore hole. Samples are transported to the SGS Côte d’Ivoire facility in Yamoussoukro by Kobo personnel where the entire sample was prepared for analysis (prep code PRP86/PRP94). Sample splits of 50 grams were then analysed for gold using 50g Fire Assay as per SGS Geochem Method FAA505. QA/QC procedures for the drill program include insertion of a certificated standards every 20 samples, a blank every 20 samples and a duplicate sample every 20 samples. All QAQC control samples returned values within acceptable limits.

February 9, 2026 TheNewswire – Muskoka, Ontario Steadright Critical Minerals Inc. (CSE: SCM,OTC:SCMNF) (‘Steadright’ or the ‘Company’), a resource exploration company focused on advancing near‑term production opportunities, reports that from February 2nd 6th, 2026, members of the NSM Capital Sarl geological team from Morocco, together with a Canadian Earthworks contractor, were on site at the Copper Valley Copper Project to conduct field assessments in preparation for upcoming extraction activities.

The on‑site team evaluated the existing road network to determine haulage suitability and required upgrades for the planned movement of mineralized stockpiles. In addition, several test pits were examined to verify material characteristics and confirm extraction logistics for the initial phase of testing operations.

This fieldwork follows Steadright’s recent announcement that the former property owner, EMTF Sarl, had previously applied for a Mining License and Environmental Permit covering Exploration Permit No. 3843143, now being transferred into NSM Capital Sarl, a Morocco‑based company. Steadright’s Moroccan geological team expects receipt of the Mining License within the coming weeks. NSM Capital Sarl management has assumed responsibility for completing this process as expeditiously as possible.

Steadright holds a 75% interest in the common shares of NSM Capital Sarl through a shareholder agreement with Critical Foundation Metals Inc. (CFM), which holds the remaining 25%.
