CARLTON PRECIOUS ANNOUNCES FILING OF

NOTICE OF INTENTION TO SELL

ATHENA GOLD CORORATION COMMON SHARES

Toronto, Ontario, September 17, 2025 – Carlton Precious Inc. (TSX-V: CPI | OTCQB: CPIFF) ("Carlton

Precious" or the " Company") announces that the Company has filed a notice of intention to distribute

securities (Form 45-102F1) (the “Notice”) in connection with its proposed sale of up to 5 million common

shares of Athena Gold Corporation (CSE: ATHA) (“Athena”). The common shares are expected to be sold

through the facilities of the Canadian Securities Exchange, and may also be sold or transferred privately.

The Company has held its shares of Athena since December 2021 and this sale is part of a monetization

strategy.

As of September 16, 2025, the Company owns an aggregate of 55,000,000 common shares of Athena, or

21.1% of the issued and outstanding Athena common shares. If the maximum number of shares covered

by the Notice are ultimately sold, and assuming no other variation of Athena’s common shares outstanding,

the Company would still hold an aggregate of 50,000,000 common shares of Athena, or 19.2% of Athena’s

common shares currently issued and outstanding. Depending on market and other conditions, the Company

may further decrease its security holdings in Athena as it may determine appropriate. A copy of the Notice

has been filed by the Company on Athena’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca. There is no assurance

as to the timing of the proposed sales contemplated in the N otice, and any such proposed sales may not

occur.
