THE CANADIAN CHROME COMPANY ANNOUNCES UPDATE

ON THE PROCESS FOR SALE OF THE COMPANY OR ITS ASSETS

AND RESULTS OF ANNUAL AND SPECIAL SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING

Toronto, Ontario, June 24, 2026 - The Canadian Chrome Company Inc., formerly known as

KWG Resources Inc. (CSE: CACR) (CSE: CACR.A) (“CCC” or the “ Company”) pleased to

provide an update on the Company’s review and assessment of it s strategic options and

alternatives and to announce the results of the annual and special meeting of shareholders (the

“Meeting”) held on June 24, 2026.

Update on the Strategic Review and Sales Process:

As previously announced (see the Company’s news releases on January 21, 2026 and February

17, 2026), the Company has embarked on a strategic review and investigation of the possibilities

of a sale or divestiture of the Company, whether by merger, consolidation, reorganization or

business combination, or by take-over bid, negotiated purchase or other means or possible joint

venture or sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company.

In this regard, the Company notes that its assets as described in the Company’s SEDAR+ filings

– including in technical reports filed in accordance with NI 43 -101, summaries of some of which

are set out in the Company’s continuous disclosure filings such as its Annual Information Form.

Those assets include the Koper Lake Project in the Ring of Fire with an initial resource estimate

of 85.9 million tonnes of inferred resources of chromite at a grade of approximately 34.5% Cr 2O3

- with lots of potential to add to those resources in that project - as well as its 30% interest in the

Big Daddy project with its 29.1 million tonnes of measured and indicated resources of chromite at

a grade of 31.7% Cr 2O3, as well as some additional inferred resources and potential to add to

those resources in that project. The Company also has other projects in the Ring of Fire with

chromite potential.

In the context of the world’s mineral resources, the Company notes the following:

- Stainless steel is composed of 10.5% to 26% chromium

- Production of commercial quantities of chromite currently only occurs in only a few

countries - South Africa, Turkey, Kazakhstan, India, Finland, Zimbabwe, Russia, the

Philippines and Brazil, with South Africa accounting for almost half and Turkey and

Kazakhstan combined accounting for another third and India accounting for

approximately 10% - those four countries accounting for about 90%

- Currently, there is no mining of commercial quantities of chromite anywhere in North

America and only a very small amount of production in Brazil in South America – less

than 3% of annual world production

- The only materially significant known resources of chromite in North America are

located in the Ring of Fire area of northern Ontario
