Pacific Bay Starts BC Tungsten Exploration at

Haskins-Reed Critical Minerals Project

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 23, 2025) - David H. Brett, Chairman of

Pacific Bay Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: PBM) ("Pacific Bay" or the "Company") reports that a crew has

mobilized to the Company's 100% owned Haskins-Reed Critical Minerals Property in the Cassiar

District of north-central BC, accessible by Highway 37. The program will follow up on high-grade

Tungsten skarns at the Mount Reed prospect, where historical drilling returned values of 2.01% WO

3

over 3.3 metres, 0.37% WO

3

over 5.18 metres and 0.17% WO

3

over 54.8 metres. The Haskins-Reed

project hosts multiple critical mineral prospects, including historic estimates of 1,739,000 tonnes grading

56.9 g/t silver, 0.53% copper, 2.77% zinc, 0.47% lead and 0.24% bismuth in the Della B Zone, the site of

significant drilling and underground workings (see clarifying note on this historical estimate below). Drill

results quoted are core lengths only and not true widths as the geometry of the mineralized zone has not

yet been determined.

"The Company is encouraged by the government of Canada's recently announced support for critical

minerals in north-western BC, including the possible extension of the Highway 37 hydro electric

transmission line to the Cassiar area and beyond," said Pacific Bay Chairman David H. Brett. "Aside

from copper, tungsten and zinc, Canada's critical minerals list includes Bismuth, an uncommon specialty

metal that has been identified at Haskins-Reed."

"As the Company works toward establishing a foothold in Brazil through the acquisition of the Pereira

Velho Gold Property, we are excited about our renewed focus on the Haskins-Reed property," said

Pacific Bay CEO Reagan Glazier. "We also believe critical metals like tungsten, copper, zinc and

bismuth will continue to see bullish market sentiment attract investment to the space, particularly in BC."

Cautionary note: Management believes the estimates of tonnage and grade for the Della B Zone are

based on sound geological work carried out in the late 1960s and 1970s backed up by significant

exploration including drilling and metallurgical studies by reputable companies, and as such are useful

for investors as an indication of the project's mineral potential. However, the estimates are of a historical

nature and do not conform to current NI 43-101 regulations relevant to the disclosure mining and mineral

exploration information and therefor do not constitute mineral resources. Significant additional drilling

and other exploration work is required to define a mineral resource in keeping with current applicable

regulation. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as a current

mineral resource. Therefore the Company does not consider the historical estimate as a current mineral

resource.
