BUSCANDO UPDATE ON PORTFOLIO EXPANSION, EXPLORATION LAUNCH AND CLOSING THE FIRST TRANCHE OF THE PRIVATE PLACEMENT Not for Distribu on to U.S. News Wire Services or Dissemina on in the United States

Vancouver, BC – June 17, 2025 – Buscando Resources Corp. (“Buscando” or the “Company”) (CSE: BRCO), a North American mineral explora*on company focused on cri*cal metals and the rapidly growing sector of natural hydrogen, is pleased to provide a comprehensive corporate update highligh*ng recent por/olio expansion, ongoing field ac*vi*es, and key upcoming milestones. The Company also confirms the successful closing of the first tranche of its previously announced non-brokered private placement financing (the “Private Placement”), as disclosed on April 29, 2025.

Recent Highlights:

• Expanded explora*on plan being developed to incorporate the results from the recent advanced airborne magne*c survey and inversion modelling to model targets on the Foggy Mountain property and review and compila*on of historic data on the nearby Star Project;
• The proposed explora*on project on both the Foggy Mountain and Star Projects is an*cipated to begin in mid-July;
• The Company has closed the acquisi*on of Element One Hydrogen Ltd (“Element One”); and
• Closing of first tranche of the Private Placement, strengthening its financial posi*on to advance explora*on and development ini*a*ves.

“We are entering a new phase of Buscando’s growth story,” stated Brad Kitchen, President of Buscando Resources. “From natural hydrogen to cri�cal metals, the Company is building a forward-facing por�olio aligned with long-term energy and security priori�es in North America. Management has built early momentum by acquiring assets and execu�ng early-stage explora�on programs and is now focused on execu�on and crea�ng value through discovery and innova�on.”

Corporate Update

The Company has expanded its asset base through the acquisi*on of Element One and its two North American-based projects with natural hydrogen and cri*cal mineral poten*al. Element One is a 100%owned subsidiary of Buscando and will be the vehicle for expanded research and further acquisi*ons in the exci*ng field of natural hydrogen.

The newly acquired Union Bay project in Alaska and the Star project in Bri*sh Columbia collec*vely span over 4,800 hectares and offer dual poten*al: explora*on for cri*cal minerals - such as copper, nickel, and PGEs - and naturally occurring geologic hydrogen.

At the same *me, Buscando has completed an early-season explora*on program at its Foggy Mountain Project in Bri*sh Columbia. The Company is currently analyzing results—including advanced magne*cs, inversion modelling, and target genera*on—which will guide upcoming geochemical surveys and poten*al drilling campaigns aimed at iden*fying new zones of mineraliza*on in this highly prospec*ve region.

This dual-focus strategy posi*ons Buscando uniquely at the intersec*on of two macro trends: the global race for cri*cal minerals supply and the accelera*ng interest in clean hydrogen as a next-genera*on energy solu*on. With geoscien*fic collabora*on underway—including partnerships with research ins*tu*ons and access to US and Canadian government-supported natural hydrogen and cri*cal mineral recovery and extrac*on programs, Buscando aims to validate the presence of hydrogen-hos*ng systems on its proper*es.

In the coming months, Buscando will:

• Release interpreta*ons from the Foggy Mountain geophysical program;
• Launch desktop and field assessments targe*ng new hydrogen-accre*ve assets in mul*ple loca*ons across North American;
• Advance technology development and partnership discussions for Element One; and
• Finalize planning for next-phase explora*on at priority targets.
