The Metals Royalty Company Inc. Enters Into Definitive Agreement to Acquire a Royalty Interest on Mesabi Metallics Iron Ore Project in Minnesota

$132.5 Million Acquisition of an Index-Priced Production Royalty on One of the United States' Only Large-Scale Merchant DR-Grade Iron Ore ProjectsTransaction Highlights:$132.5 million cornerstone royalty acquisition - TMCR has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a 1.0% Index-Priced Gross Overriding Production Royalty with a Revenue Floor (on production up to 8.5 Mtpa) on the Mesabi Metallics iron ore project in Minnesota, anticipated to be a fully integrated, large-scale source of high‑quality DR‑grade pellets critical to the global green steel transition and the advancement of American domestic steel production.Financing funds acquisition - Transaction financed via allocated $75 million PIPE, including $15 million of participation from founders and insiders, priced at $13.00 per share; and up to a $50 million acquisition credit facility term sheet for a senior secured term-loan credit facility.Near-term, high-quality royalty cash flow - First production targeted for H2 2026 with ramp up to full capacity expected in 2027, implying anticipated initial annual royalty cash flow potential of up to ~$13M+ with further potential upside tied to commodity prices and throughput expansion.Tier-1 asset in a Tier-1 jurisdiction - The Mesabi Project spans more than 16,000 acres in Nashwauk, Minnesota and is expected to be one of the lowest‑cost DR pellet producers in North America, supported by a 23+ year mine life. Over $2.5 billion is planned to be invested by completion date in core infrastructure at the project, which is approximately 93% complete. The project is strategically positioned near key end markets and integrated into well‑established North American transportation networks.Essar Group sponsorship with proven execution - Backed by Essar Group, a global industrial platform with >50 years of experience, ~$15B of revenue, and a track record of building and operating world-class industrial projects including pellet and steel assets - providing TMCR with the sponsor quality and execution certainty that underpins a royalty investment of this nature.Project fully financed based on current expenditure budget to first cash flow - ~$2bn equity invested by Essar Group with additional support by a $520M senior secured facility from Breakwall Capital and a $150M liquidity line from Macquarie Group materially de-risking near-term path to production.Strong US Government validation and strategic relevance: US Export-Import Bank announced support of up to $10B, confirming Mesabi as a strategic national supply chain asset for American green steel.Strategic alignment - Advances TMCR's mission of financing America's mineral security by deploying long-term permanent capital into a strategically critical domestic supply chain asset, aligned with US industrial and defense policy, supporting the development of domestic iron ore production capacity.

Apex Widens and Extends Newly Discovered Zone with Significant NdPr Enrichment (>30%)

Highlights:Significant expansion of the newly discovered very highly-enriched NdPr Horizon (herein termed "Neo Zone") at the bottom of hole RIFT26-003 with intercepts including:13.5 m at 1.08% REO (31.7% NdPr)17.2 m at 0.89% REO (39.4% NdPr)22.7 m at 0.79% REO (32.8% NdPr) incl. 10.9 m at 0.99% REO (30.1% NdPr)10.5 m at 0.91% REO (35.2% NdPr)4.7 m at 0.71% REO (51.6% NdPr)4.2 m at 1.31% REO (33.0% NdPr) highlighting potential for significantly higher REO grades at higher NdPr distributions.NdPr represents the highest value component in most rare earth deposits due to its critical use in high-strength permanent magnets.NdPr distributions of 30-50% at appreciable REO grade in RIFT26-003 are significantly higher than the 14-20% typical of carbonatite-hosted REE deposits globally.For example, NdPr enrichment reported on herein is consistently more than double that of the only operating rare earth mine in North America (MP Materials' Mountain Pass), which reports an NdPr ratio of 16.4% (3)NdPr enrichment has now been confirmed over >120 m strike length between RIFT-003 and RIFT-002 (10.0 m at 0.75% REO and 49.0% NdPr - See News Release Dated April 7, 2026). The Neo Zone mineralization remains open in all directions.RIFT-003 also intersected a very high-grade zone higher up in the hole (80.0 m at 2.29% REO including 23.7 m at 4.02% REO) with more typical NdPr distributions (See News Release Dated April 28, 2026).Sean Charland, CEO of Apex Critical Metals, commented: "These results are a major step forward for the project, demonstrating NdPr content over significant intervals and strike far greater than that of typical carbonatites. Results to-date define two seemingly distinct mineralized horizons with a high-grade shallower rare earth oxide zone and a second horizon with exceptional NdPr enrichment, both of which remain wide open for expansion. Results continue to exceed expectations and point towards the potential for a high-value rare earth discovery at a time when demand for critical magnet metals continues to grow. With the addition of four new drill holes and drilling ongoing, we are well-positioned to continue expanding and defining the extent and strength of this system."

Atha Energy Completes Mobilization & Commences Diamond Drilling Operations as Part of the 2026 Angilak Exploration Program – Fully Funded and Largest to Date at the Project

HIGHLIGHTSThe 2026 Angilak Exploration Program, is fully funded with the February closing of CAD $63 Million financing, making ATHA one of the best capitalized uranium exploration Companies globally;ATHA completed mobilization to Angilak in late April - including the arrival of a third diamond drill rig - and commenced diamond drilling operations on May 1st, 2026;The 2026 Angilak Exploration Program is focused on expansion and discovery of uranium mineralization across the three mineralized corridors (Figure 2), building upon the highly successful 2024 and 2025 campaigns;Over the two previous programs, ATHA has had unparalleled success, intersecting uranium mineralization in 100% of targets tested. During the 2025 campaign - focused on testing regional targets outside of the Lac 50 Deposit Exploration Target3 area, within the Angikuni Basin - the Company made five new regional discoveries, including the Mineralized RIB Corridor with four new showings;2026 Angilak Exploration Program will be the largest to date at the Angilak Uranium Project, with two primary components:1. Diamond drilling operations: Commenced on May 1st, with three drill rigs scheduled to complete ~20,000 m, continuing through September, focusing on:Mineralized RIB Corridor: Additional discovery potential and expansion, following up on the highly successful 2025 program, which resulted in the four discoveries of uranium mineralization - including RIB North, where the maiden hole intersected 34.7 m of composite uranium mineralization1 with grades up to 8.16% U3O8 over 0.5 m;Lac 50 Deposit Corridor: Testing recently identified, highly prospective, targets along strike from the main Lac 50 Deposit area, and expansion of the Lac 50 Deposit mineralization footprint, which remains open and unconstrained.KU-Nine Iron Corridor: Testing recently identified, highly prospective, targets which directly vector from uranium mineralization intersected in the 2025 KU and historic Nine Iron Discoveries;2. Geophysics: Expert Geophysic's Aerial MMT (EM) survey, scheduled to commence at the end of June:Angikuni Basin: Acquiring full MMT coverage across the 100% ATHA-owned Angikuni Basin. The resulting survey data will then be used to develop a 3D Inversion model of the entire Angikuni Basin. The same highly successful systematic approach ATHA utilized during the 2025 campaign - adding to ATHA's already extensive portfolio of regional targets.
