FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE TSX-V: AZR

AZARGA METALS NI 43-101 TECHNICAL REPORT FILED FOR THE MARG PROJECT,

CENTRAL YUKON

September 24, 2025 – Vancouver, B.C. – AZARGA METALS CORP. ("Azarga Metals" or the

“Company”) (TSX-V:AZR) is pleased to announce that it has filed a National Instrument 43-

101 - Standard of Disclosures for Mineral Projects (“NI 43 -101”) independent technical

report for its high-grade, copper rich Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide (“V\MS”) Marg project

(the “ Marg Project ”) located in Central Yukon , Canada.

Highlights of the Marg Project Mineral Resource include:

• 2025 Mineral Resource at 0.5% copper equivalent1 (“CuEq”) cut-off of:

Significant opportunity to expand the scale of Marg Project with:

• Marg Project extensions: The Marg deposit remains open to the east, west and

down dip, indicating significant potential to expand the Mineral Resource.

• Additional VMS deposits: Geophysical surveys, surface mapping and additional

surface mineralization occurrences at the Jane zone, indicating considerable

prospectivity for additional VMS mineralization outside of the Marg deposit but within

the Marg property.

2025 Mineral Resource Estimate

The 2025 Mineral Resource builds upon the h istoric M ineral Resource model, extending the

interpreted mineralised domain extent using a 0.5% CuEq cut -off grade and simplifying the

structural model by removing the previous use of dual cut-offs.

Table 1 presents the Mineral Resource at the selected 0.5% CuEq cut -off and Table 2 presents

further information at alternative cut-off thresholds.

1 CuEq is defined in the “Mineral Resource Estimate” section of this press release.

Copper Equivalence (CuEq) has been used for interpretation and reporting purposes since the

deposit has five potentially economic elements of significance.

CuEq% is calculated as:

• CuEq% = Cu% + 0.1·Pb% + 0.25·Zn% + 0.62·Au (g/t) + 0.007·Ag (g/t)

Metal price and recovery assumptions include:

• Copper: US$9,100/t; 80% recovery, 96.5% payable

• Lead: US$1,900/t; 50% recovery, 75% payable

• Zinc: US$2,600/t; 80% recovery, 85% payable

• Gold: US$3,000/oz; 50% recovery, 90% payable

• Silver: US$32/oz; 50% recovery, 90% payable

• Metal prices are based on rounded three month average metal prices at April 2025

• Recovery and payability assumptions from the last metallurgical assessment in 2016

Previous economic assessments indicate that the Marg deposit has potential for both open pit

and underground development. However, the selective sampling practices used historically ,

focused primarily on visually high- grade material that limit the confidence in assessing near -

surface low-grade potential for open pit scenarios.

Metallurgical testwork suggests that the deposit is amenable to differential flotation, producing

copper, lead, and zinc concentrates, with gold and silver reporting to the sulphide concentrates.

The Marg Report titled “NI 43- 101 Technical Report for the Marg Property, Yukon Territory”

(the “Marg Report ”) is dated August 29, 2025, and has an effective date of August 29, 2025.

The mineral resource estimate was previously disclosed by Azarga Metals in its September

8, 2025 , press release titled “Azarga Metals Announces Mineral Resource Estimate for the

Marg Project, Yukon”.

There are no material changes in the Marg Report from the results disclosed in the

Company’s September 8, 2025, press release. The Marg Report is available on the

Company’s website ( www.azargametals.com ) and SEDAR+ ( www.sedarplus.ca ).

Previous Work

A historic Preliminary Economic Assessment was completed on the Marg Project in 2016 by

a previous operator. Though the NI 43-101 report was issued it is not publicly available on

SEDAR+ as the previous operator was a private entity. The historic work outlined potential

for both open pit development near surface and underground development target and is

further discussed in the updated technical report.
