Badlands Announces $2,000,000 Non-Brokered Private Placement

and Debt Settlement

VA N C O U V E R , B C , J u n e 12, 2026 – Badlands Resources Inc. (TSXV: BLDS, FSE: B7Q) (“Badlands”

or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it intends to complete a non-brokered private placement of

up to 7,407,408 units (“Units”) of the Company at an issue price of $0.27 per Unit for total gross proceeds

of up to $2,000,000 (the “Placement”). Each Unit will consist of one (1) common share of the Company

(a “Share”) and one (1) non-transferable share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”), with each Warrant

exercisable to acquire one (1) additional Share at a price of $0.45 for a period of two years from the date of

issue, provided that after the expiry of all regulatory hold periods on the Warrants, if the closing price of

the Shares on the TSX V enture Exchange (the “TSXV”) exceeds $0.65 for five (5) consecutive trading days

at any time (the “Acceleration Event”), then the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to

accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to 4:30 p.m. (V ancouver time) on the date that is 30 calendar days

after the Company provides notice to the holders of the Warrants of such acceleration. The Placement will

replace the private placement previously referenced in the Company’s news release dated May 28, 2026.

All securities issued under the Placement will be subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day

from the date of issue.

Finders’ fees may be payable on all or a portion of the Placement in accordance with the policies of the

TSXV.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Placement to extinguish debt, for new property

acquisitions, including the Goliath property located in the District of Kenora, Northwestern Ontario, and

for general working capital.

Completion of the Placement is subject to, among other things, the approval of the TSXV . The Company

anticipates closing of the Placement (in one or more tranches) as soon as practicable, subject to receipt of

all necessary regulatory approvals.

The Company also announces that it has agreed, subject to the acceptance of the TSXV, to settle (the “Debt

Settlement”) $500,000 worth of debt owing to non-arm’s length and arm’s length parties, through the

issuance of 1,851,846 Shares (the “Debt Settlement Shares”) at a deemed price of $0.27 per Share. The

Debt Settlement Shares issued will be subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day from the

date of issue. Through the Debt Settlement, non-arm’s length parties (the “Related Party Creditors”) will

receive an aggregate of 1,111,108 Debt Settlement Shares in settlement of $300,000 of debt owing by the

Company. The issuance of Debt Settlement Shares to the Related Party Creditors will constitute a “related

party transaction” for the Company, as such term is defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection

of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”), and the Company will rely on

exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61 -101

respectively contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the

Debt Settlement Shares to be issued to the Related Party Creditors nor the consideration for such Shares,

will exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization. The Company did not file a material change report

more than 21 days before the expected closing of the Debt Settlement, as the details of the participation of

the Related Party Creditors were not settled until shortly prior to this announcement and the Company

wishes to close the Debt Settlement as soon as practicable for sound business reasons.

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to sell any securities in

the United States. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States

Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”) or any state securities laws and may

not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S.

Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.
