Canamera Identifies South Target at
Turvolandia, Extending to Four Targets Across
7.4 Kilometres
Edmonton, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - June 16, 2026) -
Canamera Energy Metals Corp.
(CSE: EMET)
(OTCQB: EMETF) (FSE: 4LF0) ("
Canamera
" or the "
Company
") today announced assay results from
its Southern Zone, highlighting auger drill hole TUV-AUG-0036 at its Turvolândia Ionic Clay Rare Earth
Project (the "Project") in Minas Gerais, Brazil. TUV-AUG-0036 returned rare earth mineralisation
concentrated in the deepest 6 metres of the hole, with grades increasing toward the bottom and the hole
terminating in mineralised material, remaining open at depth.
Of the holes for which results have been received at the Southern Zone, TUV-AUG-0036 is the most
promising result to date, returning rare earth enrichment concentrated below 16 metres depth and
continuing through end of hole. Two additional holes - TUV-AUG-0033 (6 metres total depth) and TUV-
AUG-0034 (7 metres total depth) - terminated in peak mineralisation, with the last metre of TUV-AUG-
0033 returning 575 ppm MREO + Y

, indicating that magenetic REO mineralisation is present across multiple drill locations at
the South Target.

South Target located approximately 7.4 km south of Cordis and 6.3 km from Marita, establishing a
four-target system at Turvolândia
"Turvolândia now has four distinct targets with REE mineralisation, and the South Target extends the
boundaries of the conceptual system to 7.4 kilometres from Cordis - the furthest we have drilled at
Turvolândia to date," commented Brad Brodeur, Chief Executive Officer of Canamera Energy Metals
Corp. "What stands out about TUV-AUG-0036 is where the grades are. The strongest mineralisation
results are reported at the bottom of the hole - with the best 2 metres coming in at the very end. The hole
terminated in mineralisation. That tells us the system is open and that deeper drilling at South has the
potential to deliver stronger results. We have four more holes assaying at this target and we expect to
report those results in the coming weeks."
About Hole TUV-AUG-0036 and the South Target
The South Target demonstrates a strong radiometric signature, with total-count radiometric responses
comparable to those observed at the Cordis, Linda, and Marita targets. While these geophysical
similarities do not necessarily indicate equivalent mineralisation, the Company's QP interprets these
similarities as providing an important exploration vector and as supporting the potential for additional
ionic clay-hosted rare earth systems across the broader target area.

Assay Results
Hole TUV-AUG-0036 was drilled vertically to a total depth of 22.0 metres. Rare earth enrichment is
concentrated below 16 metres depth, where grades increase substantially relative to the upper profile
and continue to improve toward the base of the hole. The final 2-metre interval (19-21 m) represents the
highest-grade zone drilled at the South Target to date, averaging 1,293.3 ppm MREO + Y
₂
O
₃
and
2,793.8 ppm TREO. The hole terminated in mineralised material; the base of the weathered profile was
not reached.
Full assay results for TUV-AUG-0036 are presented in Table 1 below. The highlighted 16-22 m interval is
shaded for reference.

Favourable Weathering Profile
The Chemical Index of Alteration ("CIA") is widely used as a proxy for weathering intensity and clay
mineral development in ionic adsorption rare earth systems. CIA is defined as Al
₂
O
₃
/ (Al
₂
O
₃
+ CaO +
Na
₂
O + K
₂
O) × 100. All 22 samples from TUV-AUG-0036 returned CIA values above 93.8%.
Such values indicate a highly developed clay-rich weathering profile formed under advanced tropical
weathering conditions. Advanced weathering is considered a key characteristic of ionic clay rare earth
deposits globally, as it creates the clay mineral surface area required to adsorb and concentrate rare
earth elements. These results support the prospectivity of the Turvolândia Project for ionic adsorption
clay-hosted REE mineralisation.
Gallium Mineralisation
Analytical results from TUV-AUG-0036 identified gallium concentrations throughout the hole. Gallium
values for 20 of the 22 one-metre intervals ranged from 17.4 to 44.3 ppm. The two remaining intervals
(19-20 m and 20-21 m) returned an 'I.N.F.' result in the source data; the basis for this flag and its
appropriate treatment in calculating a full-hole average are subject to final confirmation by the
Company's QP. As reported in the highlights, the full-hole average is stated as 29 ppm over 22 metres,
pending that confirmation. Gallium is recognised as a critical mineral by Canada, the United States, and
the European Union.
The distribution of gallium is present throughout the full vertical profile, in contrast to the REE enrichment
which is concentrated below 16 metres. The Company's primary exploration focus remains ionic
adsorption clay-hosted rare earth mineralisation. The economic significance of the gallium values
identified to date is unknown. No metallurgical studies have been completed to evaluate gallium
recovery.
Next Steps
The Company anticipates reporting assay results from the four additional holes drilled at the South
Target upon receipt and validation. The Company is also evaluating follow-up exploration programmes
to further define the South Target, including potential deeper drilling to evaluate mineralisation below the
22-metre depth of TUV-AUG-0036.
There can be no assurance that future exploration programmes will define economically recoverable
mineral resources.
Assay Methodology and QA/QC
Auger drill samples were collected at one-metre intervals and submitted to SGS Geosol Laboratórios
Ltda., Vespasiano, Minas Gerais, Brazil (ISO/IEC 17025 accredited), an independent laboratory, for
multi-element analysis by ICP-OES/MS including all rare earth elements. The QA/QC programme
included the regular insertion of certified reference materials, blank standards, and field duplicates.
Elemental values were converted to rare earth oxide equivalents using standard conversion factors.
The adjustments to the data were made as needed, converting the rare earth element values to the
industry-standard rare earth format. The conversion factors used are included in the table below. (source:

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This news release contains "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian
securities legislation, including, but not limited to, statements regarding: the Company's expectation
that assay results from the four additional holes at the South Target will be reported upon receipt and
validation; the Company's evaluation of follow-up exploration programmes at the South Target,
including the potential for deeper drilling to evaluate mineralisation below 22 metres; the potential for
mineralisation to continue at depth below TUV-AUG-0036; the potential for the South, Cordis, Linda,
and Marita targets to be associated with comparable weathering and geological domains; and the
potential for ionic clay rare earth mineralisation to be present in untested areas of the Project.
Forward-looking information is based on assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the
Company, are inherently subject to significant business, economic, and competitive uncertainties and
contingencies. Such assumptions include, without limitation: that follow-up drilling and exploration
programmes can be designed and executed on commercially reasonable terms; that the geological
and geophysical interpretations of the Project are consistent with ionic adsorption clay-hosted rare
earth mineralisation; that exploration results will continue to support the Company's assessment of the
Project's potential; that the four additional holes submitted for assay at the South Target will be
received and validated in a timely manner sufficient to permit disclosure in the near term; and that
rare earth commodity prices and market conditions remain sufficient to support continued exploration
investment.
Forward-looking information is subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors
that may cause the Company's actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from
those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information. These risks include, but are not
limited to: the possibility that follow-up drilling does not confirm the continuity or extent of
mineralisation at the South, Cordis, Linda, or Marita targets; the possibility that mineralisation does
not continue at depth below TUV-AUG-0036; the risk that the four additional holes at the South Target
do not confirm or expand the mineralisation returned by TUV-AUG-0036, or that their results are
delayed; the risk that geophysical similarities between targets do not reflect equivalent or comparable
mineralisation; the risk that ionic clay mineralisation at the Project is not amenable to economic
extraction; uncertainty regarding the economic significance of gallium values; volatility in rare earth
and critical mineral commodity prices; and general exploration risks inherent to the evaluation of
mineral properties at an early stage. Readers are referred to the risk factors described in the
Company's most recent continuous disclosure filings available on SEDAR+ at
www.sedarplus.ca
.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information. Except as required
by applicable securities laws, the Company assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-
looking information to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this news release.
Neither the Canadian Securities Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is
defined in the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange) accepts responsibility for the
adequacy or accuracy of this release.
