Vancouver, British Columbia, September 15, 2025 – Huntsman Exploration Inc. (TSXV: HMAN)

(the “Company” or “Huntsman”) is pleased to announce the establishment of a t echnical advisory

committee (the “Committee”). The Committee will provide strategic and financial expertise to guide the

The Company is pleased to appoint Tony M. Ricci, CPA, CA, as a member of the Committee. Mr. Ricci, a

seasoned financial professional based in Vancouver, British Columbia, brings over 30 years of experience

working with public companies listed on Canadian and U.S. stock exchanges. A former director and

executive of Great Bear Resources Ltd., which was acquired by Kinross Gold Corp. in a landmark $1.8

billion CAD transaction in 2022, Mr. Ricci has an exceptional track record in the mining sector. His

distinguished career also includes leadership roles with Norsemont Mining Inc. (acquired by Hu dbay

Minerals Inc.), Petaquilla Minerals Ltd. and Petaquilla Copper Ltd. (acquired by First Quantum Minerals),

Kodiak Copper Corp., and Keegan Resources Inc. Collectively, these companies achieved a combined

market capitalization exceeding $5 billion. Prio r to his corporate roles, Mr. Ricci honed his financial

expertise at KPMG and AMEC Engineering Inc., further solidifying his reputation as a trusted advisor in

the industry.

“Tony’s appointment to our Technical Advisory Committee is a significant step forward for Huntsman as

we strengthen our strategic vision and advance our exploration efforts,” said Chief Executive Officer, Carl

Ginn. “Tony is uniquely positioned to play a pivotal role in the economic evaluation of our gold assets. His

financial acumen and industry insight will be instrumental as we unlock the value of our portfolio for

shareholders.”

Given Mr. Ricci’s proven expertise in navigating complex financial landscapes and evaluating major

mining projects, he is expected to provide critical guidance in assessing the economic viability of the

Company’s gold-focused assets.

Complimenting Mr. Ricci’s appointment to the Committee, is the recent election of Mr. Jean-Félix Lepage,

P.Eng., who as Vice-President of ‘Quebec Centric’ O3 Mining, saw the company merge with Agnico Eagle
