Total Metals Returns 31.7 g/t Au Grab Sample and Confirms High-Priority Drill Targets at its Menary High-Grade Gold Project, Ontario

Total Metals Corp. (“ Total Metals ” or the “ Company ”) ( TSX-V: TT ) ( OTCQB : TTTMF ) ( FSE : O4N ) is pleased to announce assay results from the initial property mapping and sampling program at its Menary Gold Property ( the “ Project ”) located in Northwestern Ontario. “Our initial mapping and sampling program has successfully validated the high-grade nature of the Menary property, particularly at the Galbraith 'A' and Wagg zones. Collecting 83 grab samples where over 50% were mineralized—including a standout 31.7 g/t Au sample with visible gold —confirms the robust nature of this gold system. We are now leveraging these results to establish the property-scale structural controls, which will allow us to define precise, high-priority targets for our upcoming drill program” commented Total Metals Executive Chairman Michael Dehn. HIGHLIGHTS: Excellent gold assay results received from initial prospecting grab samples include: 31.7 g/t , from Galbraith ”A” Zone 9.61 g/t , from Wagg Zone 6.42 g/t from Galbraith “A” Zone and 3.46 g/t from Wagg Zone Work proceeding to establish property-scale structural control of gold occurrences and new high-priority targets. Permit preparation for drilling underway. Exploration by previous operators have identified four high-grade gold showings at Menary including Galbraith “A”, Wagg, New Shear and Road zones. Limited historic exploration was focussed and mostly limited to the immediate area of the showings with the most advanced work (including trenching channel sampling and drilling) done at Galbraith “A” and Wagg zones (see December 22, 2025 news release for summary). Historical grab sample results from previous operators returned values of up to 8,120 g/t gold in the Galbraith “A” zone. The location of gold showings on the property is shown in Figure 1 followed by a summary of significant historical grab samples from previous operators in Table1. Figure 1.

A total of 83 grab samples of quartz vein and altered rock material were collected for analysis of which 55% were noted to be mineralized with sulphides or gossanous. Two quartz vein samples were noted to contain visible gold.
