Homerun Resources Inc. (TSXV: HMR,OTC:HMRFF) (OTCQB: HMRFF) (‘Homerun’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce that our technical partners in the Belmonte (BA) Solar Glass Manufacturing project have confirmed that the exceptional purity of the silica sand from the Company’s resources in the Santa Maria Eterna District will allow the Company to offer customers a portfolio of solar glass that is 100% free of added antimony compounds.

In traditional solar glass manufacturing, antimony improves refining, prevents oxidation of iron ions, resulting in higher transmittance and fewer defects. However, the global solar industry is at an inflection point. Concerns are rising about the environmental toxicity and recyclability challenges posed by antimony, a heavy metal flagged by the USEPA as hazardous at even minuscule concentrations. Leading regulatory bodies in Europe and the U.S. are increasingly emphasizing antimony-free standards for solar glass, with Germany’s latest PV manufacturing guidelines and the EU’s Ecolabel directive setting new environmental boundaries for imported and locally produced panels.

Homerun’s technical partners advise that the Company will produce solar glass that is 100% free of added antimony from the initiation of production. Equipment and furnace design are already prepared, with the same or less CAPEX required. Operational adjustments are minor and within the existing specifications and should result in reduced OPEX since antimony substitutes are less costly. This is only possible because of the exceptionally low oxidizable iron ions levels, below 20ppm, of the Company’s HPQ silica sand in Santa Maria Eterna, Belmonte, Bahia, Brazil.

Bans and restrictions on antimony use in solar glass are increasing global demand for high-purity, low-iron silica sand as glassmakers shift to safer, more sustainable feedstocks that can deliver the required optical clarity and durability without chemical additives. As antimony-free manufacturing becomes the industry standard, only silica sand with extremely low iron content is suitable for premium solar glass. This should add demand and add increased value in the marketplace for these scarce low iron feedstocks.

This innovation comes at a crucial moment for the global solar sector. Demand for cleaner PV technologies is soaring, as industry analysts anticipate solar module and glass waste volumes reaching 1.5-1.7 million tons by 2030, with antimony residues presenting long-term risks for people and ecosystems. The ability to supply 100% antimony-free solar glass positions Homerun Resources as a market leader delivering both superior performance and uncompromising health and environmental standards and developing complete recycling toward a true circular solar economy.

‘Starting our operations without adding antimony represents a decisive economic and environmental milestone for Homerun. By leveraging the exceptional purity of our silica sand resources, we can combine cutting-edge technology with the highest standards of environmental responsibility, positioning the Company as a leader in the global solar glass industry,’ stated Odir Pedrazzi, Vice-President of Operations for Homerun.

Independent test results from institutions like Switzerland’s SPF confirm that antimony-free solar glass offers the highest efficiency and resilience against photo-degradation among all major glass formats. [1]

Canada One Mining Corp. (TSXV: CONE) (OTC Pink: COMCF) (FSE: AU31) (‘Canada One’ or the ‘Company’) announces it has agreed to acquire a 4,836-hectare copper-gold property contiguous to the northwest of Hudbay Minerals’ Copper Mountain Mine, to be known as ‘Copper Dome North’ (the ‘Property’).

Under the property purchase agreement, dated October 6, 2025, (the ‘Agreement’), the Company will acquire a 100% interest in the Property, from an arm’s-length vendor (the ‘Acquisition’). The Acquisition increases the Company’s flagship Copper Dome Project (‘Copper Dome’) size by ~60%, to 12,833 ha (from 7,997 ha) (see Figure 1: Copper Dome Project Map with Newly Acquired Copper Dome North).

Peter Berdusco, President and CEO, commented: ‘Though outside the formal Copper Dome footprint, the Property’s proximity to Copper Mountain and its continuity within the district’s geologic setting warrant the designation ‘Copper Dome North.’ In addition, the Property is adjacent to our 100%-owned Goldrop, an under-explored, historical small-scale producer of high-grade gold and silver. Together, these factors make the Acquisition compelling and well suited to a systematic exploration program.’

Copper Dome North Acquisition Terms

The Agreement provides for the 100% acquisition of the Property with no net smelter return royalty (NSR) in consideration for 250,000 common shares of the Company (the ‘Consideration Shares’), valuing the transaction at $12,500 based on a deemed price of $0.05 per share. The Consideration Shares will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the closing of the Acquisition.

Completion of the Acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions and acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange. The Acquisition does not involve any Non-Arm’s Length Parties (as defined in Exchange policies). The Company will not devote the majority of its working capital or resources to the development of Copper Dome North. The primary focus of the Company remains the exploration and future drilling at Copper Dome. As a result, the Acquisition does not constitute a ‘fundamental acquisition’ for the Company within the policies of the Exchange. No finders’ fees or commissions are payable in connection with the Acquisition.

LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR,OTC:LFLRF) (OTCQB: LFLRF) (FSE: 3WK0) (‘LaFleur Minerals’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce the engagement of global mining, sustainability, and environmental consultant firm Environmental Resources Management (‘ERM’) for the completion of a Preliminary Economic Assessment (‘PEA’) for the purpose of restarting gold production at the Company’s wholly-owned Beacon Gold Mill using mineralized material from its Swanson Gold Deposit (‘Swanson’). Both the Swanson Gold Project and Beacon Gold Mill are located in proximity to one another and strategically positioned in one of the world’s largest and most established gold-producing regions, the Abitibi Greenstone Belt. On the back of recent news of the ongoing drilling program that is delivering encouraging high-grade assay results that suggest continuity and scale of the mineralized system, and potential for further expansion at the Swanson Gold Deposit (refer to press release dated September 24, 2025), ERM now brings a highly experienced technical team to deliver a robust mining and economic study for the restart of the Beacon Gold Mill using mineralized material primarily supplied from the Company’s Swanson Gold Deposit.

LaFleur Minerals IS AIMING TO RESTART THE BEACON GOLD MILL USING MINERALIZED MATERIAL PRIMARILY SUPPLIED FROM THE COMPANY’S 100%-OWNED SWANSON GOLD DEPOSIT, LOCATED IN VAL D’OR, QUEBEC, CANADA, WITH TOLL MILLING OPTIONS FROM OTHER REGIONAL COMPANY DEPOSITS.

Kal Malhi, Chairman of LaFleur Minerals, comments, ‘Advancing the Beacon Gold Mill to restart gold production with gold prices at record levels above US$3,800 per ounce offers amazing economic potential. The Beacon Gold Mill last operated in 2022 when the price of gold was US$1,600 per ounce. Having 100% ownership of the Beacon Gold Mill, along with a fully permitted tailings storage facility and the nearby Swanson Gold Deposit differentiates LaFleur Minerals from single facet junior gold exploration companies and offers investors a true near-term gold producing investment. LaFleur isn’t relying on toll milling other companies’ gold deposits, but a fully functional and vertically integrated gold mining company on the cusp of producing ounces aimed for early 2026 from its own Swanson Gold Deposit.’

Preliminary Economic Assessment Study

The Company is working diligently with ERM to complete the PEA in the coming weeks. The PEA will be managed by ERM’s Technical Mining Services Group, based in Toronto, Ontario, which operates as the technical services arm of ERM. ERM acquired CSA Global in 2019 to strengthen its capabilities in mineral resource/reserve evaluation, mining and metallurgical engineering, and to complement its established business in environmental stewardship and sustainable development across the mining sector. ERM’s Technical Mining Services Group will oversee and disclose technical study results as part of the PEA, including the mineral resource estimate update, open-pit mine plan, and ore-sorting and metallurgical testing programs and Beacon Gold Mill restart costs. The ERM team includes highly experienced mining engineers, metallurgists, resource geologists, and environmental and sustainability specialists, ensuring a comprehensive and multidisciplinary evaluation. This collaboration underscores LaFleur Minerals’ commitment to responsible resource development and positions the Company to capitalize on the current gold market momentum.

The PEA will serve as the basis for the restart of Beacon Mill, which was recently refurbished with over $20 million worth of upgrades and includes a fully permitted tailings storage facility. Beacon Gold Mill’s state of readiness significantly reduces CAPEX and the timeline for a production restart, which the Company expects will be validated through a realistic PEA. The PEA will also benefit from mill operating data from 2022 when the mill last ran at gold price of US$1600/ounce and aims to provide accurate, real-world cost estimates across mining, milling, and tailings operations.

Regulations require companies to define initial mineral resources on a project via a PEA, and this applies to the Beacon Gold Mill production restart and the Swanson Gold Deposit. The Company believes that there are three reasons why the PEA, which includes restarting the Beacon Gold Mill with mineralized material supply from the Swanson Gold Deposit, will be a sufficient and comprehensive plan for gold production restart.

1. Realistic Costing: The PEA will provide a AACE class 5 estimate understanding of costs, from blasting, mining, moving a tonne of material to milling, and to operating the tailings treatment facility. Additionally, the mill was operational as recent as two years ago, so costs for that facility are also well understood. Most PEA studies rely on rough estimates for milling costs; the inclusion of the Beacon Mill in the PEA will have realized operating costs from when the mill last operated in 2022, at a time when the price of gold was US$1,600 per ounce.

2. The Beacon Gold Mill was recently refurbished by Monarch Mining for C$20 million in 2022 and is already built with a state of readiness to restart. Most PEA studies include as-yet unanswered questions on essential aspects; examples include a full definition of processing flowsheets, mining methods, tailings facility design, or human resource requirements. With the Beacon Mill having operated only a few years ago and with the Company having studied and remedied many of the issues from that period over the last 18 months, there are very few outstanding engineering questions at the Beacon Mill aside from equipment upgrades. A Mining Model for the restart has been reviewed and refined by LaFleur and Consultants and will form a strong part of the PEA, maintenance and repairs.

Tailings Dam Lift

As part of the PEA disclosure, LaFleur Minerals has conducted technical studies to support upgrades to the Tailing Pond located at the Beacon Mill, providing complete details of the required upgrades and associated costs.

Definition Drilling

Definition drilling at the Swanson Gold Deposit is currently underway with ‘twinning’ of mineralized holes at the Swanson Deposit. This effort is expected to provide confident updated mineral resource confirmation at the Swanson Gold Deposit using a diamond drill.

The twinned holes are planned to confirm and refine the spacing between historical intercepts, thereby confirming the existing geological model and analytical results that define the Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) at the Swanson Project.

Open-Pit Mining Scenario at Swanson Gold Deposit

The entirety of the MRE at the Swanson Gold Deposit is located on an existing mining lease, and permitting is in progress to extract mineralization destined for the Beacon Gold Mill. The mining lease permits the extraction of a large bulk sample of mineralized material with minimal permitting requirements.

As part of the PEA, LaFleur Minerals has commissioned an ore-sorting study using Swanson Gold Deposit material in partnership with the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC). The ore-sorting technology will concentrate the mineralized material prior shipment by truck to the Beacon Gold Mill, reducing trucking costs and minimizing waste rock processing at the Beacon Gold Mill. The ore-sorted material will also undergo metallurgical testing by SGS Minerals in Lakefield to simulate metallurgical results at the Beacon Gold Mill.

The Swanson Gold Deposit is easily road accessible with minimal infrastructure improvements required and only ~60 kilometres from the Beacon Gold Mill, making it an ideal source of mineralized material to be trucked over for processing. LaFleur Minerals is currently receiving detailed quotation for trucking concentrate material from the Swanson Gold Deposit to the Beacon Gold Mill, and these costs will form part of the market studies and contracts section of the PEA. The Abitibi region is otherwise flush with nearby deposits that could be potential sources of material for custom milling purposes (refer to Figure 1).

Paul Ténière, CEO of LaFleur Minerals, commented, ‘Engaging a consulting firm of the caliber and reputation of ERM to complete our PEA marks a significant milestone for LaFleur Minerals. By combining our district-scale exploration and resource potential with the fully-permitted Beacon Gold Mill, we are advancing a near-term, sustainable production pathway in one of the world’s most prolific gold camps. This is an exciting step that positions us to unlock significant value for shareholders. We think we are strongly aligned with both strong investor appetite for safe, secure, and high-quality assets and favorable market timing with gold trading near record levels, as we advance the Swanson Gold Deposit with near-term production potential.‘
