New Age Metals Advances 2026 Field Exploration Program Across its Kenora Gold and Critical Metals Division in Northwestern Ontario

New Age Metals Inc. (TSXV: NAM | OTCQB: NMTLF | FSE: P7J) (“NAM” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on its 2026 field exploration program across the Company’s Kenora Gold and Critical Metals Division in northwestern Ontario. The Company has commenced field activities at priority target areas within its Bonanza Ridge Gold and Critical Metals Project , while continuing regional data compilation, target generation, and exploration planning across its broader Kenora land package, including the Double R Gold Project and recently added Dash Lake Gold-Copper Project. The 2026 program is designed to improve the Company’s geological and structural understanding of known mineral occurrences, evaluate priority exploration targets, and generate follow-up work programs, including potential drill-ready targets. Highlights Initial fieldwork has been completed at the Kite Lake, Blue Star, Triggs, and South Powerline target areas within the Bonanza Ridge Gold and Critical Metals Project. A total of 101 grab samples were collected during the initial June field rotation. Assay results are pending. At Blue Star, the Company identified and mapped additional quartz veining, silicified mafic volcanic rocks, and carbonate-breccia zones in proximity to known quartz-vein occurrences. A quartz vein was exposed approximately 250 metres southeast of the Blue Star showing, measuring up to approximately one metre in width over an exposed strike length of approximately five metres. Recent stripping at the Triggs target has assisted the Company in identifying additional structural and geological areas for follow-up stripping, mapping, sampling, and potential drill targeting. The overall objective of our summer/fall program is to outline drill target for the late Fall 2026 or 2027 winter. The Company’s Kenora field office and core facility is supporting regional field operations, technical work, sample handling, sleeping facilities and coordination of exploration personnel and contractors. Harry Barr, Chairman and CEO of New Age Metals, stated , “ New Age Metals is pleased to have commenced the 2026 field season across our Kenora Gold and Critical Metals Division. Our initial work at Bonanza Ridge is focused on systematically advancing known showings through mapping, prospecting, stripping, sampling, and structural interpretation . The early program has expanded our work around Kite Lake and Blue Star, refined our understanding of priority areas at Triggs, and provided additional geological information that will support continued target generation. With our Kenora field office now operational, we are well positioned to carry out coordinated, cost-effective exploration programs across our growing regional land package. The Company raised an additional $500,000 the week of July 13 th , 2026 and this additional funding will go towards the Kenora Mining Division Projects, our Gold-Antimony Newfoundland Projects and proposed work on our Southbay Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum-Beryllium Project.” 2026 Bonanza Ridge Field Program The initial June field rotation focused on reconnaissance prospecting, geological mapping, hand stripping, structural observations, and grab sampling across selected target areas of the Bonanza Ridge Gold and Critical Metals Project. A total of 101 grab samples were collected during the program from outcrop, subcrop, quartz veins, and angular float considered by the technical team to be proximal to its source . The Company will report assay results after they have been received, reviewed, and interpreted. Kite Lake At the Kite Lake target area, the Company completed prospecting and m...
