Blast Resources Announces OTCQB Listing and DTC

Eligibility

Vancouver, British Columbia, January 19, 2026 — Blast Resources Inc. (“Blast” or the “Company”) (CSE: BLST | FSE:

O0E | OTCQB: BLSRF) is pleased to announce the completion of its listing on the OTCQB Venture Market (“OTCQB”),

enhancing accessibility for U.S. investors. The Company has also secured eligibility for its common shares to settle

electronically via the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), enabling smoother, more cost-effective transactions

through the U.S. clearing system.

Trading on the OTCQB under the symbol “BLSRF” commenced on January 15, 2026. The shares continue to trade on

the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) under the ticker “BLST” and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FSE) as “O0E,”

maintaining a multi-jurisdictional presence.

This DTC qualification streamlines electronic settlement, lowers transaction expenses, and broadens participation

by meeting key compliance standards for a greater number of U.S. brokers and platforms —ultimately improving

liquidity and visibility for North American shareholders.

Casey Forward, President and Chief Executive Officer of Blast, stated, “Securing our OTCQB listing and DTC eligibility

represents a step forward in expanding our investor base across the United States. This development makes it more

straightforward for American investors to participate in our growth story as we aim to advance our uranium assets

in the prolific Athabasca Basin, including the Wales Lake project. With uranium demand rising globally to support

the clean energy transition, we are fully committed to executing our exploration plans and delivering shareholder

value in the months ahead. This U.S. market entry positions us strongly for the next phase of development.”

About Blast and the Athabasca Basin

Blast owns several claims and holds an option on additional claims comprising a mineral exploration project in

Saskatchewan. The project is located near Highway 955 (all -weather highway) south of Wales Lake and sits just

outside the southwest margin of the Athabasca Basin. The properties sit in geographic proximity to the Patterson

Lake Corridor contain ing several Uranium deposits. This area of Saskatchewan is the center of intense geologic

exploration over the last several years from the number of economic and near economic discoveries of Uranium

Oxide (U3O8) and the grades having been discovered. Uranium deposits occurring in the Athabasca Basin average

20 times the global average of Uranium.1
