Arbor Metals Intersects Anomalous Lithium Mineralization up to 0.58% Across 2 Target Zones at Jarnet Lithium Project

NEWS RELEASE

ARBOR METALS INTERSECTS ANOMALOUS LITHIUM MINERALIZATION UP TO 0.58% ACROSS 2

TARGET ZONES AT JARNET LITHIUM PROJECT

Vancouver, Canada – January 15th, 2026 – Arbor Metals Corp. (“Arbor” or the “Company”) (TSXV: ABR,

FWB: 432) is pleased to announce assay results from its 2025 Phase 3 diamond drilling program at its

wholly owned Jarnet Lithium Project, located in the Corvette Lake Lithium Camp, Eeyou-Istchee Baie-

James territory in the Quebec North region. Anomalous lithium was encountered on the Jarnet 2 and

Corvette claim blocks.

Several intervals of anomalous lithium was identified within pegmafite dykes.

 On the Jarnet 2 claim blocks samples from JAR25-014 (at the northern extent of the Prince Zone)

and JAR25-015, were oriented to test an over 200m wide series of pegmafites, both intersected

anomalous lithium.

o JAR25-014 intersected 1.56m grading 5781ppm (~0.57%) lithium at a depth of 54.7m.

o JAR25-015 intersected 1.5m grading 2224ppm (~0.22%) lithium at a depth of 212.06m.

 On the Corvefte claim blocks samples from JAR25-029, JAR25-030 and JAR25-031 were oriented

to test around the contacts between greenstone and peridofite also intersected anomalous

lithium. The three mineralized intersecfions are a series of parallel dykes.

o JAR25-031 intersected 1.14m grading 5861 (0.58%) lithium at a depth of 84.86,

o JAR25-030 intersected

 0.50m grading 1278ppm (~0.12%) lithium at a depth of 73.5m

 0.50m grading 5841ppm (~0.58%) lithium at a depth of 130.24m

 0.57m grading 2276ppm (~0.22%) lithium at a depth of 203.71m

In addition, several intervals of anomalous REE elements and base metals, such as nickel, copper and

molybdenum, were identified.

“The Company is pleased with these results as they continue to demonstrate that the Jarnet Lithium

Project has the potential for high-grade lithium in two distinct areas: Jarnet 2 and Corvette,” said Mark

Ferguson, President and CEO of Arbor. “The Company is undertaking a comprehensive data study of the

results to refine future diamond drilling programs.”

The Company expects its assay results from its Fall 2025 bark sampling program, which was conducted at

the Corvette clam block around recent drilling, in Q1 of 2026.

Background

The Phase 3 drilling campaign saw the completion of 10 NQ holes, with a combined drilling length of 2,451

meters. Drilling depths ranged from 137 meters to 462 meters, with approximately 572 samples collected

during the program including QA/QC samples. The drilling program was carried out by Muskw Drilling, a

local joint venture with the Cree community.

The majority of drillholes encountered numerous pegmafite dykes hosted either by granitoids or gneissose

sediments and volcanics. In general, pegmafites were 0.5m to 2.0m in width (to maximums of 23.56m and

36.67m, both in JAR25- 032) and consfituted about 10% of each drillhole length on average. Pegmafite

intervals could reach thicknesses of 10m, up to a maximum of 46.84m in JAR25-019. JAR25-033 passed

through a gneissose mafic unit and did not see any pegmafites.

Drill core assay results indicate the presence of localized lithium and rare earth element enrichment,

however, Li-enrichment and REE enrichment are not spafially or geochemically coupled. Lithium values

are highly variable, ranging from background levels (<50ppm) to locally elevated values up to 5861ppm Li.

The distribufion of Li values is strongly skewed, with a small number of very high-Li intervals which occur

in individual samples, suggesfing localized Li enrichment in zones of highly evolved magmafic

differenfiafion in pegmafites or late-stage granific phases. Addifionally, there are several samples with high

Li values are associated with elevated Cs, Rb, Ta and Nb, consistent with LCT-type pegmafites.

REE values show a strong LREE dominance, rather than HREE, typical of fracfionated felsic systems and

suggests control by accessory mineral phases, such as monazite and allanite.

There does not appear to be any meaningful correlafion between elevated Li values and REE values,

indicafing that Li and REE mineralizafion is controlled by different mineral phases and / or disfinct stages

of magmafic evolufion or fracfionafion.

Samples were delivered to SGS Laboratories, and arms-length laboratory in Val d’Or, and were analyzed

using “GE_ICP90A50 & GE_IMS90A50 Sodium Peroxide Fusion / Combined ICP-OES and ICP-MS Package”.

Sampling was done without crossing lithological boundaries. Quality control blanks and standards were

added during the core logging process, including quartz blanks and CDN-Li-1 and CDN-Li-2 standard

reference materials.
