Adam Travis
, CEO comments
:
"Coast's focus in 2025 was to expand our generative pipeline and
complete baseline studies for a discovery-focused 2026. Our portfolio now includes mineral
tenures covering high-grade silver, copper, gold and rare earths, all located within some of the
best mining districts in BC. In parallel, we increased our treasury through the vending of a non-
core
Toodoggone
property and had no dilutive capital raising events during 2025. On behalf of
Coast's management team and Board, we'd like to thank all our shareholders for their loyalty and
support in 2025. With the backdrop of the prices of key minerals in the Coast project portfolio at or
near all-time highs, we look forward to continuing to advance our execution strategy in 2026. That's
also why I continue to be a buyer of Coast shares."
The securities were acquired for investment purposes. Mr. Travis has a long-term view of the
investment and may, in the future, acquire and/or dispose of securities through the open market,
through private transactions or through the Company's long-term incentive plan as circumstances or
market conditions may warrant.

In total, the Directors and Officers ownership percentage is 40.42% of the Company's current
issued and outstanding shares on a partially diluted basis.
