Conquest Resources Enters into Agreement with VerAI Discoveries for

AI Targe�ng on Belfast TeckMag Project

Toronto, Ontario, April 16, 2024 – Conquest Resources L imited (TSX -V: CQR) (“Conquest” or the

“Company”) has entered into a Royalty Purchase and Sale Agreement with VDI Resources LLC (VDI), a

subsidiary of VerAI Discoveries Inc. (VerAI), an ar�ficial intelligence (AI) powered mineral discovery

generator, pursuant to which the Company agrees to grant to VDI a 1.5% net smelter return royalty on

certain target areas with recommended drilling loca�ons generated by VerAI u�lizing its proprietary AI

technology. The Company agrees to grant VDI an addi�onal 1.5% NSR in return for funding a drill program

for tes�ng of the targets iden�fied by VerAI on the Belfast TeckMag Project , a 350 sq. km. land package

located northeast of Sudbury, Ontario.

Tom Obradovich, CEO of Conquest stated, “It has been a unique experience working with the VerAI team

to integrate their AI technology as another layer of targeting, which enhances our ability to potentially

discover subsurface mineral deposits at the Belfast TeckMag Project. This area of Canada is one of the most

cost-effective exploration regions and mineral-endowed belts in the world.”

Belfast TeckMag Project MIAC Investigation

Over the past several years, Conquest has completed airborne electromagne�c and magne�c geophysical

surveys, Mobile MT surveys, ground gravity surveys and regional drill programs. Recent examina�on of

drill core by Dr. JF Montreuil, in par�cular diamond drill hole BC21 -05, has indicated that mineraliza�on

and altera�on facies are related to hydrothermal systems capable of forming IOCG and affiliated deposits.

These systems are referred to as Metasoma�c Iron and Alkali- Calcic systems or MIAC. The iden�fied

altera�on types are similar to the Cloncurry region of Australia which hosts the Earnest Henry Mine in

addi�on to other not able deposits. An explora�on program beginning with prospec�ng and geological

mapping of the areas of interest iden�fied by VerAI and compiled with previous data will be conducted

this spring under the direc�on of Joerg Kleinboeck, P .Geo, Vice President Explora�on for Conquest. A

program of diamond drilling is intended to commence later this year on VerAI targets as well as addi�onal

targets established by previous programs.

Yair Frastai, CEO of VerAI, expressed his confidence in the partnership, sta�ng, “It’s a privilege to work with

Conquest, a well-experienced explorer in the region. Our team is commited to maximizing the chance of

discovery by using our AI technology to provide Conquest with higher -probability drilling loca�ons ,

calibrated from the ongoing drilling inputs.”

Conquest Resources Limited, incorporated in 1945, is a mineral explora�on company that is exploring for

base metals and gold on mineral proper�es in Ontario.

Conquest holds a 100% interest in the Belfast-TeckMag Project, located in the Temagami Mining Camp at

Emerald Lake, Ontario, which is believed to have excep�onal explora�on upside for magma�c sulphide

deposits (Cu-Ni-PGE), VMS, IOCG, Iron forma�on host ed Au and Paleo -placer Au. The Belfast -TeckMag

Project is the Company’s flagship property, evolved from the Golden Rose Project, which was ini�ally

acquired in December 2017, and significantly augmented through the acquisi�on of Canadian Con�nental

Explora�on Corp. (“CCEC”) in 2020 and subsequent addi�onal claim staking and purchases in its adjacent

Belfast Copper Project and TeckMag Property.

Conquest now controls over 300 square kilometers of underexplored territory in the Temagami Mining

Camp, including the past producing Golden Rose Mine at Emerald Lake.

Conquest also holds a 100% interest in the Alexander Gold Property located immediately east of the Red

Lake and Campbell mines in the heart of the Red Lake Gold Camp along the important “Mine Trend”

regional structure. Conquest’s property is almost en�rely surrounded by Evolu�on Mining landholdings.

In addi�on, the Company holds interests in the Smith Lake Gold Property, Lake Nipigon Basin Property,

and the Marr Lake Property.
