A.I.S. Resources Updates on Phase 1 Drill Program in Saint John, New
Brunswick
Vancouver, B.C.— September 16, 2026— A.I.S. Resources Limited (TSX-V: AIS • OTC PINK: AISSF
• FRA:5YH) (the “Company” or “A.I.S.”) is pleased to announce that it has completed part of the
Phase 1 drill program on the permitted areas on the Company’s New Brunswick exploration
properties. The Company engaged local drilling contractor ICor Drilling Services of
Penobsquis, New Brunswick, for a planned Phase 1 diamond drilling program.
Highlights
Initial Phase 1 drilling was completed with eight NQ diamond drill holes across the
Pocologan, Little Lepreau, and Prince of Wales areas of southwestern New Brunswick.
At Pocologan, drilling intersected structurally deformed, mylonitized gabbro of the
Early Silurian Andy Ponds Gabbro Formation cut by felsic dykes. Visual disseminated
sulphides were observed across multiple intervals.
The sulphide-bearing mafic intrusive rocks provide an additional geological vector for
follow-up within the Company’s current copper-gold-silver and IOCG-style
exploration models based on surface mineralization identified during field
prospecting. These models remain unconfirmed pending laboratory results.
At Little Lepreau, drilling tested Talbot Road Granodiorite and was designed to cross
the Carboniferous Lancaster Formation, with highly fractured and faulted ground
affecting drilling in one hole.
At Prince of Wales, drilling intersected brecciated and altered granite and
granodiorite containing chloritic, kaolinitic and hematitic alteration. No visible
mineralization was observed, as the proposed target zone was not reached as both
drill holes were abandoned due to mechanical failure in the fault zones.
Samples have been submitted to ALS Laboratories and AGAT Laboratories under the
Company’s QA/QC and chain-of-custody procedures. Assay results are pending.
CEO Marc Enright-Morin said, “We are extremely encouraged by what we are seeing in the
drill core, particularly at Pocologan. The combination of structurally deformed intrusive
rocks, felsic dykes and disseminated sulphides is providing important geological support for
the exploration model that led us to prioritize these targets. While we await the assays, these

observations are beginning to corroborate our earlier thesis that we may be dealing with a
much larger mineralizing system than previously recognized. Seeing these geological
features in drill core is an important step forward and gives us additional vectors to guide
the next phase of exploration. We believe we are starting to connect the dots between the
surface mineralization, geophysics and deeper geological architecture, and we are
increasingly excited about the potential for a district-scale IOCG–porphyry system in
southwestern New Brunswick.”
The Company cautions that the New Brunswick projects are at an early stage of exploration.
No mineral resource has been defined on the projects, and there has been insufficient work
completed by A.I.S. to verify the scale, continuity, grade or economic significance of the
reported historical mineralization or exploration targets.
Drill Program Details
The planned Phase 1 program comprises approximately 2,000 metres of diamond drilling
designed to test the priority exploration targets areas which were identified by the Company
through its geological compilation, airborne geophysical surveys, field evaluation, and
exploration targeting work. The current program comprised eight NQ size diamond drill
holes totaling 1,340 meters in depth (see Table 1): one hole in the Pocologan area, five in the
Lepreau area, and two in the Prince of Wales area. These holes were inclined at angles
between 45 and 60 degrees. The remaining drilling will be completed as soon as the permits
for other targets are received from the NB Ministry of Natural Resources and Energy
Development. The Company’s exploration team is currently logging and sampling the drill
core. The samples are being sent to ALS and Agat laboratories for sample preparation and
analysis. Both labs are accredited independent laboratories in Canada.
In the Pocologan area, a single hole was completed to a depth of 242.5 metres. This hole
primarily intersected mylonitized gabbros of the Early Silurian Andy Ponds Gabbro
Formation mafic minerals with felsic dykes. Visual sulphide mineralization was recorded
across multiple intervals, generally occurring as disseminations. A total of 40 samples
including QA/QC samples have been selected for laboratory analysis.
Five drill holes with a cumulative depth of 808.50 m were drilled in the Little Lepreau pit area.
Two of these holes (LP26-02 and LP26-03) intersected the Talbot Road Granodiorite of the

Golden Grove plutonic suite, which is Late Neoproterozoic to Early Cambrian in age. The
remaining three holes were collared in the Talbot Road Granodiorite but were targeted to
cross the Carboniferous Lancaster Formation. One of these three holes was abandoned at
80 m due to mechanical problems in loose and highly fractured and faulted strata. A total of
76 samples were selected from various intervals across all five holes and sent to Agat
Laboratories for analytical work.
Two holes with a collective depth of 289 m were drilled in the Prince of Wales area; however,
they failed to reach their proposed depths and were abandoned well above the target zone
due to mechanical failure in the fault zones with poor core recovery.
The rocks intersected in these holes consist of brecciated, altered granite and granodiorite
belonging to the Prince of Wales Granite / Talbot Road Granodiorite of the Golden Grove
plutonic suite, which dates from the Late Neoproterozoic to Early Cambrian. These rocks
have shown surface mineralization and were targeted for the current drill program. The
granite and granodiorite occur mostly as loosely cemented or highly broken, brecciated
material, with fresh intervals being less common. Primary Alteration include Chloritic
alteration and Secondary Alteration: Kaolinization and hematitic alteration are secondary.
No visible mineralization was observed. A total of 20 samples were selected from both holes
for analytical work.
QA/ QC program
Drill core from the New Brunswick drilling program was transported to the New Brunswick
Department of Natural Resources and Energy Development core facility in Sussex, New
Brunswick, where it was logged, photographed, and sampled under the supervision of
qualified geological personnel. Sample intervals were selected based on geological
observations, including lithology, alteration, veining and visible mineralization. Core samples
were marked and assigned unique sample identification numbers and prepared for
laboratory submission. A quality assurance and quality control (“QA/QC”) program was
implemented that included the insertion of certified reference materials, blanks and
duplicate samples at a combined frequency of approximately 10% of the samples submitted
for analysis. Samples were securely packaged and maintained under appropriate chain-of-
custody procedures prior to shipment to ALS Laboratories and AGAT Laboratories for sample
preparation and analysis. Both ALS and AGAT are independent of A.I.S.

Analytical results and associated QA/QC data will be reviewed and validated prior to their
use in the interpretation and public disclosure of exploration results.
Geological Setting and History:
Southern New Brunswick is a prospective mineral exploration jurisdiction with a long history
of mineral occurrences and past-producing deposits associated with Appalachian volcanic,
sedimentary, intrusive and structurally controlled geological settings. The region hosts
geological environments considered favourable for copper, gold, silver, zinc, antimony,
cobalt, nickel and other critical minerals. Mineralization in the region may be associated with
fault zones, volcanic and sedimentary contacts, intrusive-related systems, skarn-style
alteration, and structurally controlled vein and breccia systems.
A.I.S. believes its New Brunswick property portfolio provides an opportunity to evaluate
multiple early-stage mineralized trends using modern exploration methods, including
geological mapping, geochemistry, airborne and ground geophysics, and targeted drilling.
The Company has increased its land package from 9,555 hectares to 26,952 hectares
(269.5 km²) across Southwestern New Brunswick. The Company’s current work is
designed to test exploration concepts and high-priority targets. Additional work is required
before any conclusions can be made regarding continuity, grade, scale or economic
potential.
