About NAM

New Age Metals is a junior mineral exploration and development company focused on the discovery,

exploration, and development of critical green metal projects in North America. The Company has three

divisions: a Platinum Group Element division, a Lithium/R are Element division, an Antimony -Gold

Division as well as an investment in MetalQuest Mining’s (TSXV:MQM | OTC:MQMIF) high purity Lac

Otelnuk Iron Ore Project.

The PGE Division includes the 100% owned, multi-million-ounce, district-scale River Valley Project,

one of North America’s largest undeveloped Platinum Group Element Projects, situated 100 km by

road east of Sudbury, Ontario. In addition to River V alley, NAM owns 100% of the Genesis PGE-Cu-Ni

Project in Alaska.

The Company’s Lithium Division is one of the largest mineral claim holders in the Winnipeg River

Pegmatite Field, where the Company is exploring hard rock lithium and various rare elements such as

tantalum, rubidium, and cesium. NAM is developing its lithium division in conjunction with its Farm-

in/Joint Venture agreement with Mineral Resources Ltd. (“MinRes”), one of the world’s largest

lithium producers. A minimum budget to maintain the Projects has been approved by Mineral Resources

Ltd for May 2025 to A pril 2026. The Companies agreed to the minimum budget due to current lithium

pricing and forest fire dangers in the immediate area

In April 2024, a $1.5M NSERC Alliance grant was awarded to a collaboration led by the University

of Manitoba (Drs. Fayek and Camacho), with academic partners from Lakehead University (Dr.

Hollings) and industry partners including New Age Metals and Grid Metals. This research is focused

on advancing Canada’s critical metals sector, with New Age Metals’ portion targeting its Bird River lithium

properties. Approximately $107,000 of work is planned on New Age’s properties in 2025. The early work

will include core sampling and field visits starting this summer. The project will likely extend beyond the

original 3-year term, due to its delayed start.

New Age Metals Inc. is supporting a successful $180K Mitacs research grant, awarded in 2023,

through its $90K contribution (already accounted for and paid under the Mineral Resources joint

venture). This academic partnership with the University of New Brunswick and the University of British

Columbia is focused on understanding the origin and controls of lithium pegmatite mineralization in the

Cat Lake–Winnipeg River field. Fieldwork for the MSc. thesis has been completed, while the post-doctoral

phase is on going at UNB. This collaboration provides access to top -tier scientific expertise and

equipment, significantly reducing analysis costs and adding long-term value to the project.

NAM’s Antimony-Gold division is in Newfoundland and spans over 19,800 hectares consisting of 11

non-contiguous properties. Six of these properties are in St. Alban’s area, along Canstar’s Swanger and

Little River mineralized trends. The remaining 5 properties are strategically located along the same

geological trend as the past -producing Beaver Brook Antimony Mine and in prox imity to New Found

Provincial Critical Mineral Assistance (PCMA) streams. The potential rebate total for eligible

exploration activities is $71,975.

On August 6, 2025, New Age Metals announced an additional investment in a 4th critical metal. NAM

currently owns approximately 12.79% and holds warrants that, if exercised with today’s issued and

outstanding shares of MQM, would bring NAM to a 19.05% interest in MetalQuest Mining inc.

approximately $120 million has been spent on the project. For more information, please visit

MetalQuestMining.com . High-purity iron ore became a critical metal Federally in Canada and in

has contracted AtkinsRealis, an international engineering company, to complete a GAP Analysis on

the Lac Otelnuk Project and its 2015 Feasibility Study.

Management is currently aggressively seeking new mineral acquisition opportunities on an

international scale. Our philosophy is to be a project generator with the objective of optioning our projects
