Yellow Fox is an early-stage exploration property prospective in antimony, Zinc, Lead, gold, silver and
more recently REE's. Historic work has returned samples anomalous in gold (Au), antimony (Sb), lead
(Pb), zinc (Zn), gold (Au), and silver (Ag) which included trenching which exposed bedrock. Results
included grab samples up to 59.43g/t Au, 11.10% Sb, 7.00% Zn, 72.90g/t Ag, and 5.50% Pb in
arsenopyrite-stibnite veins within altered monzogranite. (See Metals Creek assessment report

In a news release dated 14 January 2026, Lomiko announced assay results (See Table 1) regarding
additional REE analysis from the recently completed Phase II soil sampling and prospecting program
(See News Release September 23, 2025) on the Yellow Fox Antimony property.
Highlights:
7 soil samples were re-run for the Rare Earth Elements ("REE") specific test package for assays
outlining the cerium anomaly and to check for other REE elements, including neodymium,
praseodymium, gallium etc.
Soil samples assaying from 1697ppm to 5176 ppm or (0.52%) REEs.
NEW potential rare earth discovery.
Highly anomalous LREEs Neodymium (Nd) from 186 to 890ppm and Praseodymium (Pr)
at 46-192ppm,
which are instrumental in the manufacturing of magnets.
Elevated dysprosium (Dy)
at 36 - 191ppm
is also present.
Identification of multiple highly anomalous REE soil anomalies (See Figure 3).
REEs hosted within Mount Peyton monzogranite.
REE anomalies roughly parallel to previously outlined Sb-Zn-Pb-Ag critical metal anomalies.
Assay results for these seven soil samples indicated highly anomalous assays for both light rare earth
elements (LREE) and heavy rare earth elements (HREE) (See Table 1).
These new soil results indicate
a strong potentially geologically significant REE soil anomaly, highlighting a fertile monzogranite. This
anomaly exhibits strong LREE enrichment (La-Ce-Pr-Nd-Eu) accompanied by highly elevated HREE
(Dy-Tb-Y), potentially indicating a mixed LREE and HREE mineralized system. TREE (Total Rare Earth
Element) values range from 1,683 ppm to 5,176 ppm. Initial soil samples in this range for TREE are
highly promising and warrant follow-up exploration work. Of particular interest in these results is the highly
anomalous LREEs Neodymium (Nd) and Praseodymium (Pr), which are instrumental in the
manufacturing of magnets.
Elevated dysprosium (Dy) is also present, which is a HREE and enables
magnets to perform at high temperatures. Thorium, which is often seen as a pathfinder for REE, is also
present in elevated numbers.

Please note that the results on an adjacent or nearby property (Beaver Brook) are not necessarily
what can be expected on the Yellow Fox project and that the results of surface or grab samples, by
their nature, this type of sample is selective and that the assay results may not be indicative of
underlying mineralization.

All 851 initial soil samples from this past summer's programs were dried and then sent to Eastern
Analytical Ltd., located in Springdale, Newfoundland, Canada. Samples are analyzed by the ICP34
method that delivers a 34-element package and analyzed by the ICP-OES analytical technique with
blanks and standards inserted every 20-25 samples. The 7 samples in this press release were sent to
Bureau Veritas, located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Samples are analyzed by ICP-OES
utilizing a multi-acid digestion analytical technique. No standards or blanks were added to this batch of 7
samples.
