NEWS RELEASE
Inomin Drilling Confirms District -Scale Potential
of Beaver-Lynx Polymetallic Project
Vancouver, British Columbia, January 19, 2026 – Inomin Mines Inc. (TSX.V: MINE)(“Inomin”
or the “Company”) announces the latest and complete results from diamond drilling program at
the 28,000 hectare Beaver-Lynx project in south-central, British Columbia , demonstrating the
district‑scale potential of the property. The 2025 drilling program focused on the South and North
zones, and was completed in collaboration with Sumitomo Metal Mining Canada Ltd.
(“Sumitomo”).
Key Highlights
• All 13 drill holes in the South and North zones intersected significant serpentinized
mineralization including nickel (Ni) and magnesium (Mg)
• Drilling confirms a ~500,000 m² mineralized footprint at the Beaver South zone
• North Zone drilling confirms additional mineralization extending along a 7‑km trend
A Growing, Multi‑Metal Discovery
The latest drilling results (holes B25 -11, 12, 13) continue to outline broad intervals of
nickel‑cobalt‑magnesium mineralization across a large area, reinforcing Beaver‑Lynx as a major
new critical minerals system. Latest analytical results also include analyses for platinum (Pt)
and palladium (Pd), elements generally associated with ultramafic deposits. PGMs were
encountered in both the South and North zones and are expected to be present across other
drill‑defined mineralized areas.
South Zone
Drill Hole B25‑11:
145.2 m grading 0.19% Ni,0.011% Co, 0.40% Cr, 0.012g/t Pt, 0.012g/t Pd, 23.07% Mg
Drill Hole B25‑12:
116.3 m grading 0.20% Ni, 0.011% Co, 0.35% Cr, 0.010g/t Pt, 0.009g/t Pd, 22.93% Mg,
• Located ~1,000 m from B25‑11, confirming extensive length of mineralized area.
North Zone
Drill Hole B25‑13:
102.1 m grading 0.17% Ni, 0.010% Co, 0.29% Cr, 0.011g/t Pt, 0.011 g/t Pd, 20.38% Mg

2025 Beaver-Lynx Drilling Program
The 2025 drilling program at Beaver ‑Lynx consisted of thirteen diamond drill holes totaling
3,361.8 meters (m). Drilling was carried out using HQ ‑sized core to manage the challenging
ground conditions, with NQ downsizing often required at depth where maintaining hole stability
became difficult.
In the South zone, twelve holes were completed on approximately 200‑meter centers. This
drilling was designed to evaluate the continuity of mineralization previously outlined by
earlier programs.
A single hole was drilled in the North zone to test a new high ‑priority target aimed at expanding
the zone’s discovery footprint. This hole successfully intersected significant mineralization
associated with strong magnetic features that extend for more than 7 kilometers along strike,
further demonstrating the scale of the system.
All holes were oriented to intersect mineralization as perpendicular as possible. A Reflex
instrument was used to measure for azimuth and dip deviations, however, dip readings were
found to be unreliable due the high concentrations of magnetite in the rock s. Collar information
for all drillholes is itemized in the following table.

Drill core samples were analyzed by Activation Laboratories Ltd (“Actlabs”) for a 22-element suite
utilizing their 8 -Peroxide (Total) Fusion, ICP -OES (FUS-Na202). Samples were also analyzed
using Actlabs’ fire assay with an MS finish (FA-MS) for platinum, palladium and gold.
The resulting grade for nickel includes both silicate and sulphide components of nickel. A
secondary partial digestion technique has been developed in-house by Actlabs for Inomin to
ascertain the sulphide nickel fraction only and will be utilized on all samples containing > 0.1%
nickel values and will be reported on when complete.
Actlabs, located in Kamloops, BC, is ISO 17025-accredited. The relationship between Inomin and
Actlabs is strictly arms-length, limited to the laboratory’s commercial supply of analytical services.
QAQC protocols were followed, including the introduction o f field blanks , standards, and
duplicates, custody of the core, and normal QAQC laboratory protocols. Drillcore was split using
a conventional manual core splitter and power saw with a representative fraction sent to the
laboratory and the remainder cached on site.

Table 2: Analytical Results
True thicknesses were calculated where density of drilling allowed. True thicknesses were
measured directly from cross -sections, deviations to orthogonal calculated where density of
drilling allowed. Often, continuity of mineralization was extrapolated by 3 -d inversions of the
magnetic distribution in the rocks. Given the density of drilling at 200 metres, the true thickness
determination is only an approximation intended to reflect likely or comparable thicknesses of
mineralization at each of the drillhole locations. The differences between the estimation of the true
thickness and reported downhole intervals were found to average 94% of drill core lengths , and
this will be re-evaluated during any resource estimation.

Drill hole B25-13 was drilled in a previously untested area of the North zone, a ~7 km long linear
trend of magnetics located approximately 3 km to the north of the South zone.
Although most drillholes tested the entire serpentinized body, holes B25-05 and B25-10 were lost
due to ground conditions and were unable to intersect with the footwall zone.
A Large, Near-Surface System Open to Expansion
Drilling in the South zone continues to demonstrate consistent mineralization over substantial
thicknesses. To date drilling in the South zone has tested a surface area of approximately 500,000
m² (50 hectares). A north-south trending geological cross-section was created across the South
zone (Figure 2). The section illustrates the ~200 m thick serpentinized body occurring as a near
surface sill-like feature. The feature changes from flat lying to a steeply plunging body to the south.
The system remains open for expansion in all directions, however, magnetics suggest deeper
targeting will be required.

John Gomez, President of Inomin comments, “Our 2025 drilling program significantly expanded
the mineralized footprint of the South Zone, confirming the existence of a large, polymetallic
system. The identification of platinum and palladium associated with the other metals encountered
to date at Beaver‑Lynx marks a meaningful new development. Although low-grading, PGMs are
consistent and could be a significant contribution to production value. With an exceptional drilling
success rate approaching 100%, we look forward to the next drilling program.”

Collaboration with Sumitomo
The 2025 Beaver-Lynx exploration program was undertaken in collaboration with Sumitomo that
funded the program. Sumitomo can earn an interest in the project through an earn -in and joint
venture agreement with the Company. Inomin is the operator of the Beaver-Lynx project.
About Beaver‑Lynx
The 28,000‑hectare Beaver ‑Lynx property is located in south ‑central British Columbia,
approximately 50 kilometres north of Williams Lake and adjacent to the Gibraltar mine,
Canada’s second ‑largest open ‑pit copper operation. The project benefit s from excellent
infrastructure including all‑season road access, nearby hydro‑electric power, and proximity
to active rail lines. The surrounding resource communities offer comprehensive services and a
skilled work force.

Exploration to date – including multiple drilling campaigns – indicates the property may host large
volumes of nickel and magnesium , along with cobalt, platinum, and palladium. Drilling has
also intersected chromium, copper, silver, and gold, further highlighting the polymetallic nature
of the system. With encouraging drilling results and several extensive mineralized zones already
identified, Beaver ‑Lynx has the potential to emerge as a significant new source of critical
minerals.
The South and North zones represent two of several extensive mineralized areas outlined
through drilling and magnetic surveys across the Beaver block. Ten kilometres to the south, the
adjoining Lynx block hosts multiple targets that are comparable – and in some cases potentially
larger – than those at Beaver. Together, these zones underscore the district‑scale potential of
the Beaver‑Lynx project.
