WIRE SERVICES

Saskatoon, Saskatchewan – March 10, 2026 – Wescan Goldfields Inc. (the “Company” or

“Wescan”) announces the appointment of Darren Slugoski, P.Geo., as Senior Technical Advisor

to the Company.

Mr. Slugoski is a professional geologist with over 15 years of mineral exploration and production

experience, the majority of which has been focused on Saskatchewan, including extensive work

within the La Ronge Gold Belt and the Athabasca Basin uranium district. He holds a Bachelor of

Science (Honours) in Geology from the University of Saskatchewan and is a member in good

standing with the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Saskatchewan

(APEGS).

Mr. Slugoski began his career with Wescan, contributing to exploration programs at the Jojay and

Jasper gold projects within the La Ronge domain. He later served as Mine Geologist with Golden

Band Resources Inc., working on the Komis, Golden Heart, and Decade deposits, where he was

responsible for grade control, geological modeling, reconciliation, and resource expansion drilling

within active mining operations.

Mr. Slugoski subsequently advanced to Chief Geologist with MAS Gold Corp. (now Trident

Resources), where he led exploration and resource advancement programs at the North Lake,

Preview SW, Greywacke, and Contact Lake deposits. His work focused on resource development,

expansion drilling strategies, structural corridor interpretation, and technical data integration

across multiple deposits within the La Ronge Gold Belt. At Contact Lake, he supported the

transition of the asset from Saskatchewan Government ownership into public company control,

assisting with historical data compilation and technical positioning of the project for renewed

exploration.

Through his experience spanning grassroots exploration, resource delineation, production-stage

geology, and senior technical leadership, Mr. Slugoski has developed a comprehensive

understanding of gold mineralization systems in northern Saskatchewan. He currently serves as

Vice President, Exploration for Stallion Uranium Corp., where he leads uranium exploration

initiatives within the Athabasca Basin.

Darren Slugoski, P.Geo., commented: “The La Ronge Gold Belt is one of Saskatchewan’s most

prospective gold districts, with significant opportunities remaining for discovery and resource

growth. I am pleased to be joining Wescan in an advisory role and look forward to contributing

to the Company’s exploration strategy as it prepares for its upcoming exploration programs.”

W. Connor MacNeill, President and Chief Executive Officer of Wescan, commented:

"We are very excited to welcome Darren to Wescan in this advisory capacity. Darren has worked

on the majority of the gold projects within the La Ronge Gold Belt and brings a deep technical

understanding of the geology, structural controls, and historical datasets across the region. His

firsthand experience ranging from grassroots exploration to production-stage operations provides

Wescan with valuable insight as we continue to advance our projects. We look forward to working

closely with him as we move into our next phase of exploration.”
