NovaRed Establishes Advisory Board, Appoints
Vice-President of Communications
Vancouver, British Columbia – March 26, 2026 – NovaRed Mining Inc. (CSE: NRED; OTCQB:
NREDF) (“NovaRed” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has formed an
Advisory Board that will provide technical , strategic, financial, and marketing advice to the
Board of Directors as it prepares to finance and conduct further exploration on its Wilmac
Copper-Gold Project.
Concurrently, NovaRed has appointed Commander Phil Ehr (U.S. Navy, Ret.) as the
inaugural member of its Advisory Board. A distinguished 26 -year U.S. Navy veteran and
national security strategist, Commander Ehr exhibited a rare “Mustang” career trajectory,
rising from enlisted Seaman to Commander. He has held leadership roles in global
reconnaissance, combat operations, high -level defense policy, and providing strategic
advice to senior U.S. and allied leaders, with expertise in operational integrity and quality
control.
During his military career, he conducted classified Navy air reconnaissance missions during
the Cold War, provided combat support in the Gulf War, and oversaw U.S. air combat
operations in NATO’s Balkan campaign. Commander Ehr is currently focused on
humanitarian aid initiatives, countering disinformation, and advising on national security -
focused energy projects. He recognizes the strategic importance of copper and other critical
minerals, particularly during periods of conflict.
NovaRed is currently reviewing additional candidates for consideration as appointees to its
advisory board.
Appointment of Vice-President of Communications
The Company further announces that it has appointed Kirk Reed as its Vice -President of
Communications. Mr. Reed will oversee NovaRed’s traditional and social media relations.
Mr. Reed currently serves as a director of Showcase Minerals Inc. and previously served as
its President from 2021 to 2025. He has acted as President, Chief Executive Officer, and
Chief Financial Officer of Globe Net Wireless Corp., a U.S. reporting issuer that traded on
the OTC Markets. In addition, Mr. Reed served as President and a director of Candorado
Operating Company Ltd., a Canadian reporting issuer engaged in mineral property
exploration that traded on the TSX Venture Exchange, from November 2001 to April 2013. He
has also served as a director of New Shosoni Ventures Ltd., which traded on the TSX Venture
Exchange.
Marketing Agreement
Further to its news release dated October 10, 2025 , NovaRed has amended its marketing
agreement with PRAI Inc. to reflect that the six-month term agreement commenced on
March 25, 2026 rather than the initially planned date of October 15, 2025. The other terms
of the agreement remain the same. PRAI will provide marketing services on NovaRed’s
behalf, including content marketing, native advertisements, SMS and email marketing,
display advertisements, landing pages, influencer networking, push notifications,
OmniChannel programmatic advertising, marketing awareness, and pay -for-click
advertising in order to assist NovaRed in raising public awareness of the Company and
enhance its online presence in compliance with the policies and guidelines of the Canadian
Securities Exchange (the “CSE”). PRAI may use third-party service providers for the purpose
of some of these marketing activities.
PRAI has also developed and filed a provisional patent application in the United States on
NovaRed’s behalf for an artificial intelligence -driven mineral exploration platform with
multi-source geological data integration, a probabilistic scoring engine, and a b lockchain-
based document verification system.
The objective of the platform is to develop an integrated system designed to aggregate
geological, geochemical, geophysical, and mining claim data from multiple government and
proprietary databases into a unified data layer. The platform is expected to inc orporate a
weighted probabilistic scoring algorithm intended to estimate mineral potential for land
parcels based on factors such as proximity to known deposits, geochemical anomalies,
geological characteristics, and mining claim density.
However, the platform’s outputs will be dependent on the availability, quality, and
consistency of underlying data sources, as well as the assumptions and parameters applied
in the algorithm, and may not accurately reflect actual mineral potential.
