STRATEGIC UPDATE
During the AGM, President and CEO Jean -Marc Lulin outlined Azimut’s strategy and key priorities for 2026.
Supported by strong market conditions, solid shareholder support, and a highly effective exploration team, the
Company has launched an ambitious exploration campaign with a clear focus on self-funded programs at its
wholly owned flagship projects, Wabamisk and Elmer. Including the work planned at Kukamas, Azimut expects
to complete at least 20,000 metres of drilling this year, clearly demonstrating the Company’s commitment to
advancing its highest-ranked projects through drilling and delivering meaningful value to shareholders.
EXPLORATION & PORTFOLIO UPDATE
Wabamisk
Advancements at Wabamisk continues at pace. The most recent drilling program has just been completed o n
the Fortin Zone ( antimony-gold), with a total of 5,105 metres (27 holes). Most recent advances are very
encouraging based on the last and deepest hole drilled (hole WS26 -113) which encountered the mineralized
albitic unit at a vertical depth of about 515 metres (from 537.4 to 557.5 metres along the hole), about 200 metres
below previous drilling, and remains largely open in all directions. In addition, for the first time at Fortin, native
gold grains have been observed at a depth of 521 metres within hole WS26-113. This may suggest that Fortin
shows antimony to gold vertical zonation, as documented in several deposits worldwide, where higher gold
grades may occur deeper in the system . The potential for an antimony -gold vertical zonation at Fortin has
been highlighted in press releases since January 16, 2025, and continues to represent one of the Company’s
key exploration priorities at Wabamisk (see press release of January 21, 2026i). All assay results from this drilling
phase are pending.
Drilling is active on the Rosa Zone (gold), with 736 metres (4 holes) completed so far in 2026, with a planned
minimum of 2,000 metres . The maiden drill ing program (3,633 metres, 26 holes), completed late last year,
confirmed a kilometre-scale gold discovery open in all directions (see press release of February 9, 2026ii). Finally,
results are expected shortly for the initial program conducted on the Lithos Pegmatite Field (lithium) in late
2025.
Elmer
Fieldwork at Elmer commences this week with the launch of a 10,000-metre drill program designed to expand
the existing resource base . The project remains significantly underexplored. This work phase will advance
Elmer toward its next valuation milestone with a resource update and, if warranted, a PEA (see press release of
January 22, 2026iii).
Portfolio Management
Azimut continues to streamline its project portfolio while advancing active field programs. The Company will
pursue select option agreements and divestitures, concentrating on a smaller number of high -impact projects.
This disciplined focus aims to enhance efficiency and maximize the value of its most advanced assets for
shareholders.
