Arizona Tribune - North Sky Metals Corp. Provides Corporate Update and Announces Proposed $5.5 Million Financing

North Sky will use the proceeds from the financing to advance its portfolio of district‑scale copper and gold exploration assets located in the mining friendly jurisdictions of British Columbia and Nunavut. The Company has applied to list its common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"), supported by a tight capital structure of approximately 46.5 million shares outstanding and strong insider ownership of roughly 25%. Listing remains subject to the Company fulfilling all the listing requirements of the TSXV.

The Company is also pleased to announce that its official website, www.northskymetals.com, is now live and provides additional information on its projects, strategy, and corporate developments.

Fieldwork completed over the past five years has defined multiple high‑priority, undrilled targets across the Company's flagship Natlan Project in British Columbia and the emerging Jet Copper Project in Nunavut. North Sky is positioned for a catalyst‑rich 2026 exploration season, with drilling planned on the Ace and Natlan West targets.

"North Sky is well positioned for a strong 2026, with a clear plan and a portfolio that remains largely underexplored for its scale and setting. With multiple undrilled porphyry targets at Natlan and a compelling copper opportunity at Jet, this is a true discovery-driven story. This current financing [outlined below] puts the company in a strong position to execute on its first drill programs and deliver consistent news flow as we move toward our planned TSXV listing." - Scott Ansell, CEO

Natlan Project (British Columbia)

The 100 km² Natlan Project hosts three compelling targets:

• Ace Target - Undrilled Cu‑Mo‑Au‑Ag Porphyry:
  A 1.75 km by 900 m multi‑element anomaly with strong coincident Induced Polarization (IP) chargeability, magnetic highs, and robust soil geochemistry. Porphyry‑style alteration includes Quartz-Sericite-Pyrite (QSP) and potassic associated with hydrothermal breccias, and stockwork veining. First‑ever drilling is planned for summer 2026.

• East Target - Undrilled Cu‑Au‑Mo Porphyry:
  A 2.5 km geochemical trend located along the margin of the Natlan intrusive stock, supported by strong chargeability/resistivity anomalies and magnetic highs. Not previously drilled.

• West Target - Epithermal Gold System:
  A greater than 750 m gold‑arsenic soil anomaly with soil values averaging ~50 ppb Au and grab samples up to 10.7 g/t Au. Historic drilling intersected broad low‑grade gold grades; new IP anomalies remain untested. Drilling is planned for 2026.

Jet Project (Nunavut)

The 110 km² Jet Project is located on Inuit‑owned land, 15 km from tidewater, and along the structural corridor hosting high‑grade copper deposits, including the historically defined Jura (June) deposit approximately 2km south of the Jet Property boundary. Recent drilling on Jura (June) by Somerset Minerals Ltd returned 42.7 m at 2.69% Cu underscoring the potential of the regional trend.

North Sky plans to survey the northern extension of this structural corridor in 2026 by airborne geophysics and district level mapping and prospecting activities.

Proposed Financing

The Company is pleased to announce a proposed non-brokered private placement financing for aggregate gross proceeds of up to C$5,500,000, comprised of the sale of a combination of non-flow-through and flow-through Special Warrants.

The Financing will consist of:

• Up to 5,714,285 non- flow-through Special Warrants ("NFT Special Warrants") at a price of $0.35 per NFT Special Warrant for gross proceeds of up to approximately C$2,000,000; and

• Up to 7,777,777 flow-through Special Warrants ("FT Special Warrants") at a price of $0.45 per FT Special Warrant for gross proceeds of up to approximately C$3,500,000 .

The FT Special Warrants and the NFT Special Warrants entitle the holder to acquire, without payment of any consideration in addition to that paid for the Special Warrant, one unit of the Company (a "Unit"), with such Unit consisting of one non-flow-through common share in the authorized share structure of the Company (a "Unit Share" and each common share in the authorized share structure of the Company, a "Common Share") and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one additional Common Share at an exercise price of $0.55 for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance of the Special warrant giving rise to the issuance of the Warrant.

The Special Warrants may be exercised by the subscriber, in whole or in part, at any time following the closing date of the Financing. Any unexercised Special Warrants will be deemed to be exercised on that day which is the earlier of any of the following:

1. four months and one day has passed from the issuance of the Special Warrants by the Company;

2. the first business day following the day on which a receipt for a (final) prospectus (a "Prospectus") has been issued by or on behalf of the last of the securities commissions qualifying the distribution of the Units to be issued upon exercise of the Special Warrants; or

3. the Company has completed a transaction which provides holders of Special Warrants with comparable liquidity that such holders would have received if a (final) prospectus was filed and receipted, whether by way of a reverse-take-over, merger, amalgamation, arrangement, take-over bid, insider bid, reorganization, joint venture, sale off all or substantially all assets, exchange of assets or similar transaction or other combination with a public corporation or such other transaction as may be acceptable to the Company.

The FT Special Warrants will qualify as "flow-through shares" within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada). The gross proceeds from the FT Special Warrants will be used to incur eligible Canadian exploration expenses that will be renounced to subscribers with an effective date no later than December 31, 2026.

The Company may pay eligible finders a finder's fees of up to 7% payable in cash in connection with the Financing, in accordance with applicable securities laws.

Closing of the Financing is subject to customary conditions, including regulatory approvals. All securities issued will be subject to an indefinite restriction on resale (i.e., a "hold period") under applicable securities laws until such time as the Company has become a "reporting issuer" in a jurisdiction of Canada.

Net proceeds from the Financing will be used to advance exploration activities on the Company's Canadian mineral properties and for general working capital purposes.

The minimum subscription amount for each subscriber under the Financing is C$3,500, subject to the discretion of the Company.
