Muzhu Mining, To Be Renamed Grenville Mines Inc., Signs Definitive Option Agreement For The Everett Titanium Project In Quebec, And Announces Private Placement Financing
MUZHU MINING, TO BE RENAMED GRENVILLE MINES INC., SIGNS DEFINITIVE OPTION AGREEMENT FOR THE
EVERETT TITANIUM PROJECT IN QUEBEC, AND ANNOUNCES PRIVATE PLACEMENT FINANCING
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
Vancouver, British Columbia – November 28, 2025 – Muzhu Mining Ltd. (CSE: MUZU) (OTCPK: MUZU.F)
(FSE:Y33) ("Muzhu" or the “ Company”), to be renamed Grenville Mines Inc., is pleased to announce that is has
entered into a definitive option agreement (the “Option Agreement ”) with Romaine River Titanium Inc.
(“Romaine”) dated November 26, 2025, pursuant to which the Company has acquired an option to earn, subject
to the satisfaction of certain conditions, an undivided interest of up to 75% in the Everett titanium property (the
“Everett Property”), located 40 km from the port city of Havre -Saint-Pierre, Quebec and 3 km from Rio Tinto’s
producing Lac Tio titanium mine.
Everett Property Highlights
The Everett Property comprises 49 mineral tenures covering 2,406 ha (5,946 acres) (See Figure 1). Early in the
Everett Property's history, 34 diamond drill holes defined a significant historical mineral resource. Later, 71 closely
spaced sites and two bulk sample sites were sampled on the surface of the Everett Property, with assay and
metallurgical samples obtained over a 3.5 km of outcrop. Numerous historical mineralogical studies and
metallurgical process tests conducted by commercial and university rese arch laboratories have demonstrated
very high recoveries of Ti, Fe, and P to the concentrates.
The Everett Property spans the eastern margin of the Proterozoic Havre -Saint-Pierre anorthosite massif.
Anorthosite massif deposits are of significant economic interest for critical mineral commodities, including Fe–Ti
oxide minerals (for titanium, vanadium, and iron), and apatite minerals (for phosphorus, often including rare earth
elements).
The Everett Property is recognized by the USGS and the Quebec Geological Sciences Service as one of the most
significant hard-rock ilmenite (FeTiO3) deposits in the world, alongside producing deposits at Lac Tio, Quebec (Rio
Tinto Fer et Titane Inc.) and Tellnes, Norway (Kronos Worldwide Inc.). The Everett Property is situated 3 km east
of the world's largest hard-rock ilmenite deposit, Lac Tio. The deposit at Lac Tio is not necessarily indicative of the
grades and tonnes of the adjacent Everett Property. Still, the two deposits share a closely similar mineralogy and
are both hosted by mafic intrusions of the Havre-Saint-Pierre anorthosite massif.
Everett Historical Mineral Resource Estimates
An Engineering Report by Lees (1972) cited a historical resource of 234 million tonnes of 10.8% TiO2, 17.9% Fe
and 2.8% P 2O5(1) based on drilling in the 1950’s and 1968. The 1968 program comprised more definitive drilling
and assaying of the northern extremity of the Everett oxide body. It defined a separate 340 m strike length of that
historical resource (1/10th of the surface oxide exposure length) of the Everett oxide body of 50.8 million tonnes
of 14.1% TiO2, 23.3% Fe, and 2.8% P2O5(1) within the larger tonnage reported.*
*These “resources” are historical in nature and should not be relied upon, neither treated as current estimate. It is unlikely they conform to current NI 43-101
requirements or follow CIM Definition Standards, and they have not been verified to determine their relevance or reliability. Originally reported in long tons
as 230 million long tons with a grade of 10.8% TiO2, 17.9% Fe and 2.8 % P2O5, it is here converted to 234 million metric tonnes with a grade of 10.8% TiO2,
17.9% Fe and 2.8 % P2O5. Similarly, t he 50 million long tons are converted to 50.8 million tonnes. These historical “resources” are reported without any
specific categories, which is not conform to current NI 43-101 requirements, and any comparison is not a valid comparison. A qualified person (QP) has not
done sufficient work to classify the estimate as current, and the Company is not treating the historical estimate as a curren t mineral resource.” Results are
presented for exploration targeting only.
Advanced Titanium Project, De-Risked and Ready for Drill Definition
• 34 historical diamond drill holes and 5 metallurgical tests established the potential for premium scale,
grade and mineral recovery
Tier-1 Location of Quebec, Canada
• 3 km from Rio Tinto’s producing Lac Tio titanium mine with access to infrastructure, low energy costs and
government support
Titanium: Onshoring Critical Mineral for the Defence Sector
• Geopolitical risk from China and Russia controlling 75% of the world’s titanium sponge capacity(2)
Strong High-Value Titanium Sponge Pricing Environment
• Titanium sponge price at 15-year high, +22% since 2020 in the US and exempt from US tariffs(2)
Accelerated Project Development
• Confirmatory diamond drilling planned to verify and expand the historical resource, followed by a planned
NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate
Significant Re-Rating Opportunity

Option Agreement Summary
Under the Option Agreement, Muzhu may earn up to a 75% interest in the Everett Property through a two-stage
option:
Phase 1: Muzhu to Acquire a 50% Interest
To exercise its option to acquire a 50% interest in the Everett Property, Muzhu must complete the following:
Date Shares Cash Payment Expenditures
Upon Exchange approval and closing of the Offering 1,000,000 $200,000
On or before March 1, 2026 $250,000
On or before May 1, 2026 $200,000
On or before September 30, 2026 1,000,000 $200,000 $1,250,000
On or before September 30, 2027 1,000,000 $200,000 $3,500,000
On or before September 30, 2028 1,000,000 $100,000
On or before September 30, 2029 1,000,000 $100,000 $5,000,000
Total 5,000,000 $1,000,000 $10,000,000
Phase 2: Muzhu to Acquire an Additional 25% Interest, Resulting in an Aggregate 75% Interest
Following completion of the Phase 1 Option described above, Muzhu may earn an additional 25% interest in the
Everett Property in consideration for completing a positive feasibility study on the Everett Property by no later
than September 30, 2030.
Once a 75% interest in the Everett Property is acquired by Muzhu, Muzhu and Romaine will enter into a joint
venture (the “Joint Venture”), with each party required to contribute to future work expenditures in accordance
with the proportional working interests in the Joint Venture. Romaine, under either the 50% or 75% interest earn-
in, shall be entitled to a 10% carried interest borne by M uzhu and as a result shall have a 40% or 15% working
interest, respectively.
Romaine is entitled to a 3.5% gross return royalty (the “ Royalty”), subject to a buyback right of i) 0.5% of the
Royalty for $500,000 and ii) 1.0% of the Royalty for $2,500,000 before commercial production.
The Company shall pay to Romaine annual advance royalty payments of $500,000 commencing on the earlier of
i) September 30, 2030 and (ii) the date a Joint Venture shall be deemed to have formed between Muzhu and
Romaine until the date on which “commercial production” of the Everett Property is achieved.
The Company and Romaine are arm’s length parties, and the transaction contemplated by the Option Agreement
was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.
Private Placement Financing
In connection with the Agreement, Muzhu intends to undertake a non -brokered private placement offering (the
“Offering”) of securities of the Company (the “Offered Securities”) for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company
of up to $750,000 in a combination of:
a) up to $500,000 in units of the Company (the “Units”) at a price of $0.06 per Unit. Each Unit will consist of
one common share of the Company (a “ Common Share”) and one Common Share purchase warrant (a
“Warrant”); and
b) up to $250,000 in flow-through units of the Company (the “FT Units”) at a price of $0.08 per FT Unit. Each
FT Unit will consist of one Common Share that will qualify as “flow -through shares” within the meaning
of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”) and one Warrant.
Each Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share (a “Warrant Share”) at an exercise
price of $0.10 per Warrant Share at any time up to 24 months following the closing of the Offering.
The net proceeds from the sale of Units will be used to fund the initial option payment for the Everett Project,
working capital and general corporate purposes. The gross proceeds from the sale of FT Units will be used for
surface exploration, metallurgical testing, and verification of historical exploration work at the Everett Project.
The entire gross proceeds from the issue and sale of the FT Units will be used for Canadian Exploration Expenses
(“CEE”) as “flow -through critical mineral mining expenditures” as such term is defined in the Tax Act (the
“Qualifying Expenditures”), which will be incurred on or before December 31, 2026 and renounced with an
effective date no later than December 31, 2025 to the initial purchasers of FT Units, and if the Qualifying
Expenditures are reduced by the Canada Revenue Agency, the Company w ill indemnify each FT Unit subscriber
for any additional taxes payable by such subscribers as a result of the Company’s failure to fully renounce the
Qualifying Expenditures as agreed.
The Offering is anticipated to close on or about December 19, 2025 ("Closing"), or such later date as the Company
may determine. The Closing is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all
necessary regulatory and other approvals, including the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the
“Exchange”).
The Company will pay finder’s fees to certain eligible finders (each, a “ Finder”) consisting of a cash fee equal to
8.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of subscriptions facilitated by such Finder; and issue such number of finder's
warrants (a "Finder's Warrant") that is equal to up to 8.0% of the number of Offered Securities sourced by the
Finder, with each Finder's Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Unit at an exercise price of $0.06
for a period of 24 months following the Closing. All securities issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a
hold period of four months and one day from the date of Closing. The Offering and payment of finders' fees are
both subject to approval by the Exchange.
The Company has withdrawn the financing previously announced on October 9, 2025.
