CONQUEST RESOURCES SIGNS LOI TO ACQUIRE THE VALIMAKI

GOLD PROJECT IN FINLAND

December 3, 2025 – Toronto, Ontario, Conquest Resources Limited (“Conquest” or the

“Company”) (TSX-V: CQR) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Letter of Intent

(“LOI”) to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of Carrigel Ltd. on November 27, 2025, a

private company incorporated in Ireland, which owns a 100% interest in the Valimaki Gold Project

in Finland.

The Valimaki Gold Project is comprised of a 23,197 hectare Exploration Reservation located in

southern Finland which contains a 15 kilometer trend that has an extensive train of gold- rich

boulders. Within the boulder train, historic sampling has produced > 150 boulders with assays

greater than 1 g/t Au, with assays as high as 60 g/t Au.

Tom Obradovich, CEO of Conquest, comments, “We are excited to begin exploration on the Valimaki

Gold Project which has had limited modern exploration geophysics or detailed mapping. We have

engaged an experienced team of geologists and geophysical contractors to begin establishing drill

targets in e arly spring of 2026. Drill testing is planned for late summer and fall when the required

permitting is in place .”

magnetics defines regional folds that trend parallel to stratigraphy in the northeast direction. The Kynsikangas and

Kankaanpaa Shear Zones are clearly visible as major magnetic breaks.

ABOUT THE VALIMAKI GOLD PROJECT

The Valimaki Gold Project is located to the east of Pori, a regional industrial city, in southwestern

Finland. The Project area has excellent infrastructure and can be accessed year-round.

The Project is located within the Svencofennian geologic domain within supracrustal rocks that are

located between two major structural features; to the southwest, the Kynsikangas Shear Zone, and

to the northeast, the Kankaanpää Shear Zone. Both major structures trend NW-SE while stratigraphy

and fold axes between the structures trend northeast. Gold mineralization is hosted in amphibolite-

grade sedimentary, volcanic, and intrusive rocks, with a strong association with arsenopyrite and

quartz veining. Au is also associated with Sb-Te-Bi-W-Ag, which is typical of orogenic gold deposits.

Gold was originally found in the 1950s by Outukumpu Oy who explored the area intermittently during

the 1950s and 1980s. Geologian Tutkimuskeskus (GTK) conducted multiple exploration programs

during the 1980s to 2010s which included till geochemistry, heavy mineral concentrates, magnetics,

and a total of ~2,800 meters of diamond drilling. Best intersects include 4.3 meters at 7.2 g/t (GTK

Report 75/2016 - Ore potential of the Kullaa zone, Saarijärvi and Kultakallio Au mineralizations) and

7 meters at 3.9 g/t Au (R309, GTK report M06/1143/2006/10/1 – Research Report on ore exploration

in the Municipality of Kullaa, In the Authority of Valimaki, Mining Register No. 7101/1).

Many of the auriferous boulders were discovered by local prospectors and analyzed through GTK’s

Citizen’s Sampling Program (GTK Mineral Deposit Report Valimaki

https://tupa.gtk.fi/karttasovellus/mdae/raportti/450_V%C3%A4lim%C3%A4ki.pdf where local

prospectors can send samples to GTK for analysis and receive a reward if they lead to a new

exploration target.

Conquest has entered into a non- binding Letter of Intent (LOI) with Carrigel to acquire 100% of the

outstanding shares of Carrigel for the following terms:

● $35,000 CAD cash payment upon approval of the TSXV of formal agreement

● 5,000,000 common shares of Conquest on receipt of drill permits

● 2% Net Smelter Royalty with 1% being buyable for $3,000,000 CAD

Exploration Plan

Conquest plans to undertake exploration activities in the spring to define drill targets within the

Valimaki Project area. Activities will include: geologic mapping, prospecting, drone magnetics, and

an induced polarization survey.

for base metals and gold on mineral properties in Ontario.

Conquest holds a 100% interest in the Belfast-TeckMag Project, located in the Temagami Mining Camp

at Emerald Lake, Ontario, which is believed to have exceptional exploration upside for magmatic sulphide

deposits (Cu-Ni-PGE), VMS, IOCG, Iron formation hosted Au and Paleo-placer Au.

The Belfast-TeckMag Project is the Company’s flagship property, evolved from the Golden Rose Project,

which was initially acquired in December 2017, and significantly augmented through the acquisition of

Canadian Continental Exploration Corp. (“CCEC”) in 2020 and subsequent additional claim staking and

purchases in its adjacent Belfast Copper Property and TeckMag Property.

Conquest now controls over 300 square kilometers of underexplored territory in the Temagami Mining

Camp, including the past producing Golden Rose Mine at Emerald Lake.

Conquest also holds a 100% interest in the Alexander Gold Property located immediately east of the Red

Lake and Campbell mines in the heart of the Red Lake Gold Camp along the important “Mine Trend”

regional structure. Conquest’s property is almost entirely surrounded by Evolution Mining landholdings.

In addition, the Company holds interests in the Smith Lake Gold Property and Lake Nipigon Basin

Property.
