selected Canadian investment opportunities to global
investors and strategic partners
Montreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - September 21, 2026) -
Mont Royal Resources Ltd (ASX: MRZ)
(TSXV: MRZL) ("Mont Royal" or "the Company")
is pleased to advise that its flagship Ashram Rare
Earths and Fluorspar Project in Québec has been selected for inclusion in the Canada Investment
Summit Prospectus, showcasing selected Canadian investment opportunities to global investors and
strategic partners.
The inaugural Canada Investment Summit, held in Toronto this week, forms part of a broader Canadian
Government initiative to attract long-term capital into strategically important sectors, with the Government
of Canada outlining an ambition to catalyse $1 trillion in total investment in Canada over the next five
years.
The Summit Prospectus highlights investment opportunities across critical sectors including critical
minerals, clean and conventional energy, advanced manufacturing, artificial intelligence and trade and
transportation infrastructure, with a focus on projects seeking financing and strategic partnerships.
Ashram has been included in the Minerals and Metals section of the Prospectus, which describes the
Project as:
"a large-scale rare earths and fluorspar development in Nunavik, Québec and one of North
America's largest monazite-dominant rare earth deposits."
The Prospectus also highlights the potential of the Ashram Project to supply the key magnet rare earths
neodymium and praseodymium (NdPr), together with fluorspar and niobium by-products. It identifies the
Project as having completed a Preliminary Economic Assessment, with a Pre-Feasibility Study
underway, and highlights opportunities for equity, joint venture and strategic investment, project finance
and off-take partnerships.
Mont Royal Managing Director, Nicholas Holthouse said:
"Ashram's inclusion in the inaugural Canada Investment Summit is further recognition of the Project's
strategic importance as Canada looks to accelerate the development of secure, domestic critical
minerals supply chains.
"The Summit provides an important platform to showcase Ashram to global investors, strategic
partners and other key stakeholders at a time when governments and industry are increasingly
focused on establishing secure Western supply chains for magnet rare earths.
"With our updated PEA now complete and the Project moving into its next phase of development, the
timing is ideal for Mont Royal to broaden its engagement with potential strategic, financing and offtake
partners."

proposed or at all; geological interpretations based on drilling that may change with more detailed
information; potential process methods and mineral recoveries assumptions based on limited test work
and by comparison to what are considered analogous deposits that, with further test work, may not be
comparable; testing of our process may not prove successful or samples derived from the Ashram
Project may not yield positive results, and even if such tests are successful or initial sample results are
positive, the economic and other outcomes may not be as expected; the anticipated market demand for
rare earth elements and other minerals may not be as expected; the availability of labour and equipment
to undertake future exploration work and testing activities; geopolitical risks which may result in market
