A.I.S. Resources Announces Preliminary Rock Sample
Assay Results at its New Brunswick Projects
Vancouver, B.C. —June 8, 2026—A.I.S. Resources Limited (TSXV: AIS, OTC-
Pink: AISSF, FRA: 5YH) (“A.I.S.” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has
received initial assays from its New Brunswick projects. The Company submitted
38 grab and chip rock samples to Actlabs for sample preparation and analysis.
This sampling was carried out as part of the Company’s due diligence to confirm
historical results as well as to find new prospects. From these samples, 23 were
returned exceeding the upper detection limits for various elements. These samples
have been submitted for re-assay using a suitable method for higher
concentrations of the overlimit elements and the results will be released upon
receipt.
Assay Highlights: The samples returned elevated values in copper, gold, silver,
cobalt, nickel, molybdenum, lead, and antimony. Several samples exceeded the
upper detection limits for copper, gold, silver, lead and/or antimony (see Table 1
below). These samples will be re-assayed using an appropriate laboratory method.
Eight samples returned copper (Cu) values above the preliminary upper
reporting limit of >10,000 ppm Cu , equivalent to greater than 1.0% Cu .
Overall copper grades are in the range of 9 parts per million (ppm) to over
10,000 ppm.
Two Lepreau Prospects samples returned gold values above the
preliminary upper reporting limit of >5,000 ppb Au , equivalent to greater
than 5.0 g/t Au. Overall gold grades are in the range of less than (<) 5 parts
per billion (ppb) to over 5,000 ppb.
Silver (Ag) results are in the range of 0.02 ppm to preliminary upper
reporting limit of >100 ppm Ag, with four samples over 100 ppm Ag (one
sample from the Prince of Wales and three from the Lepreau prospects).
Antimony (Sb) results are in the range of 2 ppm to preliminary upper
reporting limit of >500 ppm Sb, with six samples over 500 ppm Sb (one
sample from the Prince of Wales and 4 from the Lepreau, and one from
Scott Falls Dam prospect).
Lead (Pb) results are in the range of 2.2 ppm to preliminary upper reporting
limit of >5,000 ppm Pb, with three samples over 5,000 ppm Pb (two
samples from the Prince of Wales and one from the Scott Falls Dam
prospect).
Molybdenum (Mo) results are in the range of 0.91 ppm to 3070 ppm, with
three samples from the Lepreau Prospect showing higher Mo
concentration.

Rhenium (Re) results are in the range of less than (<) 0.005 ppm to 5.23
ppm.
Cobalt (Co) results are in the range of 1.3 ppm to 1180 ppm.
The samples reported herein are grab and chip rock samples collected from
selected outcrops, mineralized exposures, and historical prospect areas. Grab
samples are selective in nature and are not necessarily representative of average
grade or mineralization across the properties. Chip samples may not represent
true widths unless specifically stated, and true widths of mineralization are
currently unknown.
A.I.S. CEO, Marc Enright-Morin said, “We are encouraged by these initial assay
results from our New Brunswick projects, which confirm elevated copper, gold,
silver, antimony and associated critical-mineral values in selected surface samples
across multiple target areas. While the projects remain at an early stage and the
results are selective in nature, the data supports continued systematic exploration,
including mapping, prospecting, geochemical sampling, geophysical interpretation
and target generation. We look forward to receiving the overlimit assay results and
advancing our understanding of the mineralized systems on the properties."
Favourable geology: The Company’s current exploration model considers the
properties prospective for IOCG-style, intrusive-related, magmatic copper-gold
and structurally controlled copper-silver-gold mineralization. Further work is
required to confirm the nature, controls, continuity, and economic significance of
the mineralization.
Encouraging assays: The Company considers these preliminary results
encouraging, as they demonstrate multi-element mineralization across several
target areas. The combination of higher surface mineralization with historical
exploration data supports the Company’s interpretation that the project area
contains multiple styles of mineralization that warrant systematic follow-up
exploration.
Next steps: The current ground prospecting, geological mapping and sampling
program is progressing well, and new batches of samples are being delivered to
the laboratories for analysis on regular basis. The results will be announced as
available and data processed. The results combined with historical and current
geophysical survey data will be used to develop the upcoming drill program for
which a local driller has already been contracted.

Sample Preparation, Analysis and QA/QC
Rock samples were submitted to Activation Laboratories Ltd. (“Actlabs”) for
preparation and analysis. Sample preparation was completed at Actlabs’
Fredericton, New Brunswick facility, and prepared pulps were forwarded to
Actlabs’ Ancaster, Ontario laboratory for geochemical analysis. Gold was analyzed
by fire assay with atomic absorption finish and reported in parts per billion. Multi-
element analysis was completed using total digestion with ICP-MS and/or ICP-
OES finish, as reported by Actlabs. The laboratory’s internal quality-control
program included the use of certified reference materials, blanks and laboratory
control samples. The Company and its Qualified Person are reviewing the
laboratory QA/QC data and final certificates, including pending overlimit analyses,
prior to final interpretation of the dataset. Actlabs is independent of the Company.
Geological Setting and History:
Southern New Brunswick represents a prospective and underexplored mineral
exploration jurisdiction, with a long history of mineral occurrences and past-
producing deposits associated with complex Appalachian geology, including
volcanic, sedimentary, intrusive and structurally controlled settings. The region
hosts favourable geological environments for copper, gold, silver, lead, zinc,
antimony, cobalt, nickel and other critical minerals, with mineralization commonly
associated with fault zones, volcanic and sedimentary contacts, intrusive-related
systems, skarn-style alteration, and structurally controlled vein and breccia
systems. A.I.S. Resources considers southern New Brunswick to offer strong
exploration potential due to its combination of historical showings, accessible
infrastructure, road access, proximity to tidewater and industrial services, and the
opportunity to apply modern exploration methods, including detailed geological
mapping, geochemistry, airborne geophysics and targeted follow-up sampling.
The Company believes its New Brunswick property portfolio provides a platform to
evaluate multiple mineralized trends and advance high-priority copper-gold and
critical-mineral targets in a mining-friendly Canadian jurisdiction.
A.I.S. cautions that the Project is at an early stage of exploration. No mineral
resource has been defined, and there has been insufficient work completed by
A.I.S. to verify the scale, continuity, grade or economic significance of the reported
mineralization.

About the Saint John Project
The Saint John Project is considered prospective for IOCG-style mineralization
based on regional geological setting and the Company’s current exploration model.
The Property remains at an early stage of exploration, and further work is required
to determine whether IOCG-style mineralization is present on the Property. The
IOCG exploration targets provide strategic exposure to gold, silver (precious
metals), copper (energy transition metal), antimony, and rhenium (critical minerals)
as shown in the historical sampling data.

About the Pocologan Project
The Pocologan Project is an early-stage copper-gold-silver exploration project
located in New Brunswick, Canada. The project is interpreted by the Company to
have potential for iron oxide copper-gold (“IOCG”) or magmatic copper-gold style
mineralization, as well as structurally controlled copper-silver-gold targets. Vendor
compilation materials identify several target areas, including the Pennfield Station–
Pocologan River and Red Head Harbour areas, where historical surface
prospecting reportedly outlined copper, gold, and silver mineralization associated
with gabbroic, granodioritic, altered, and sheared host rocks. The project covers
approximately 21.5 square kilometres in southern New Brunswick, an established
Canadian mining jurisdiction. The project area benefits from favourable
infrastructure, including proximity to highways, rail, power, the deep-water port
facilities at Saint John, and a skilled regional workforce.
