Alex Metals is a discovery-driven exploration company with three projects in Southeast Alaska, a region
that hosts several world-class volcanogenic massive sulphide (“VMS”) deposits but that has seen limited
exploration in recent decades. With extensive experience in coastal Alaska and deep knowledge of VMS
geology, Alex Metals’ team acquired projects with mineralization on surface or in limited historic drilling
with a plan to apply modern exploration methods to drive towards a new precious metals-rich VMS
discovery in this prospective region.
“Alex Metals is coming to trade near the end of our first field season, during which we drilled four targets
across two projects while completing significant geophysics, mapping, and sampling across our portfolio
in Southeast Alaska,” said Gwen Preston, President and CEO. “In a mining market looking for buildable
deposits that can generate strong returns, VMS projects are attracting attention and I am excited to see
what Alex Metals can deliver in the near and long term with our strong technical team, promising projects
in a resource-functional jurisdiction, and drive for discovery.”
Private Placement
The Company also announces closing of its previously announced non-brokered private placement of
5,526,999 common shares of the Company (“Common Shares”) at a price of $0.70 per Common Share for
gross aggregate proceeds of $3,868,899 (the “Private Placement”). Pursuant to the Private Placement,
the Company paid finder’s fees of $92,298 to certain eligible arm’s length finders. The Company intends
to use the net proceeds of the Private Placement for exploration of its mineral properties and for general
working capital purposes.

The Private Placement remains subject to final approval of the TSXV. All securities issued in connection
with the Private Placement are subject to a four-month hold period from the date of issuance under
applicable Canadian securities laws, in addition to such other restrictions as may apply under applicable
securities laws of jurisdictions outside Canada.
Following closing of the Private Placement, the Company has 44,845,975 Common Shares issued and
outstanding.
None of the securities sold under the Private Placement have been or will be registered under the U.S.
Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States, or to, or for the account or benefit of,
U.S. persons or persons in the United States, absent registration or an applicable exemption from the
registration requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an
offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any State in which such offer, solicitation or
sale would be unlawful.
In connection with the Private Placement, certain directors and officers of the Company, (the “Interested
Parties”) participated in the Private Placement by purchasing an aggregate of 166,000 Common Shares
(the " Insider Subscriptions ") for $116,200 (representing approximately 3% of the proceeds from the
Private Placement). The Insider Subscriptions constituted a “related party transaction” within the meaning
of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI
61-101”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the directors of the Company have determined that the
Interested Parties’ participation in the Private Placement will be exempt from the formal valuation and
minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 in reliance on the exemptions set forth in
sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101. A material change report was not filed more than 21 days prior
to closing of the Private Placement because the details of the Private Placement and the Insider
Subscription therein had not been confirmed at that time.
Stock Options
The Company also announces that a total of 3,350,000 stock options (the “Options”) have been granted
to certain directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company pursuant to the Company’s stock
option plan. The Options have an effective grant date of September 22, 2026, and are exercisable for a
period of 5 years at a price of $0.70 per Common Share.
2,000,000 of the Options have been granted to directors and officers of the Company and, accordingly,
such grant constitutes a related party transaction pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection
of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101 "). The Company is exempt from the
requirements to obtain a formal valuation and minority shareholder approval in connection with the grant
of Options to related parties in reliance on the exemptions contained in sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(a) of
MI 61-101, respectively.
