Trek South Porphyry Copper-Gold Prospect,
Golden Triangle, BC
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - February 10, 2026) -
Oreterra Metals Corp. (TSXV: OTMC)
(OTCID: RMIOD) (FSE: D4R0) (WKN: A421RQ)
("
Oreterra
" or the "
Company
") (previously, Romios
Gold Resources Inc.) is pleased to announce that it intends to complete a non-brokered private
placement financing for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $6,000,000 through the issuance of a
combination of hard-dollar units ("
HD Units
") of the Company at a price of $0.45 per HD Unit and flow-
through units ("
FT Units
") at a price of $0.50 per FT Unit (collectively, the "
Offering
").
Closing of the
Offering is scheduled for March 20, 2026.
The majority of the gross proceeds from the sale of both the
HD Units and the FT Units will be used to carry out the first-ever drilling in the approaching field season
of the large-scale Trek South porphyry copper-gold prospect located in northwestern B.C. The Trek
South prospect is new to science, having been revealed by ice melt in recent years, and consists of
stacked, high-order alteration, geochemical and geophysical anomalies. It is located in BC's Golden
Triangle, adjacent to Teck-Newmont's Galore Creek deposits in ideal terrain, and close to partially
completed infrastructure.
A comprehensive NI 43-101 technical report on the Trek property dated
January 20, 2026, can be found at
www.oreterra.com
and on the Company's issuer profile at
www.sedarplus.ca
.
An investor presentation summarizing the Trek South prospect can also be found at
www.oreterra.com
.
In connection with the Offering, the Company has entered into a fiscal advisory agreement with
Canaccord Genuity Corp. ("
Canaccord
"). Subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange
("
TSXV
"), the Company shall compensate Canaccord in the amount of $25,000, payable in HD Units of
the Company (the "
Compensation Units
") to be issued at C$0.45 per Compensation Unit with the
same terms as HD Units. In addition, 6% finder's fees in cash or securities, or a combination of both,
may be payable by Oreterra in connection with the Offering, subject to the rules of the TSXV.
Insiders may participate for up to 10% of the Offering. Such insider private placements will be exempt
from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("
MI
61-101
") by virtue of the exemptions contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1) (a) of MI 61-101 in that the
fair market value of the consideration for the securities of the Company which will be issued to the
insiders will not exceed 25% of its market capitalization.
Financing Details:
Each HD Unit, priced at $0.45, will comprise one (1) common share of the Company and one (1)
common share purchase warrant (each an "
HD Warrant
").
Each HD Warrant will entitle the holder
thereof to acquire one additional common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.60 per share
for three years following the closing of the Offering.
Each FT Unit, priced at $0.50, will comprise one (1) common flow-through share of the Company (each
an "
FT Share
"), and one (1) common share purchase warrant (each an "
FT Warrant
"). Each FT
Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one additional common share of the Company at an
exercise price of $0.60 per share for three years following the closing of the Offering.
The FT Shares will qualify as "flow-through shares" (within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the
Income Tax Act
(Canada) (the "Tax Act"). An amount equal to the gross proceeds from the issuance of
the FT Shares will be used to incur eligible resource exploration expenses which will qualify as (i)
"Canadian exploration expenses" (as defined in the Tax Act), and (ii) as "flow-through critical mineral
mining expenditures" (as defined in subsection 127(9) of the Tax Act) (collectively, the "
Qualifying
Expenditures
"). Qualifying Expenditures in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds
raised from the issue of the FT Shares will be incurred (or deemed to be incurred) by the Company on or
before December 31, 2027 and will be renounced by the Company to the initial purchasers of the FT
Shares with an effective date no later than December 31, 2026. The net proceeds from the issuance of
HD Units will be primarily used for exploration activities at the Company's Trek property, as well as for
general working capital purposes.
It is expected that the Offering will close on or about March 20, 2026, or such other date or dates that the
Company may determine (the "
Closing Date
"), subject to the receipt of all required regulatory
approvals, including the approval of the TSXV. All securities issued in connection with the Offering will be
subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the Closing Date, in accordance with
applicable Canadian securities laws.
The securities described herein have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "
U.S. Securities Act
"), or any state securities laws, and
accordingly, may not be offered or sold within the United States except in compliance with the
registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities requirements or
pursuant to exemptions therefrom. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation
to buy any securities in any jurisdiction.

About Oreterra Metals Corp.
Oreterra Metals Corp. commenced trading on February 2, 2026, under the new ticker OTMC, following a
months-long effort to restructure the former Romios Gold Resources Inc. Management took on the task
because it believes the Company's wholly-owned Trek South porphyry copper-gold prospect represents,
based upon the impressive results of the spectrum of geosciences applied to the target area to date,
among the finest new targets of its kind in BC's Golden Triangle.
The Company recently released (news,
January 22, 2026) a National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report for the Trek property which
recommends two initial phases of drilling at Trek South, for execution in the approaching 2026 field
season. A copy of the Technical Report is available on the Company's website at
www.oreterra.com
,
and on the Company's SEDAR+ issuer profile at
www.sedarplus.ca
.
Additional wholly-owned Company property interests include two former producers in Nevada: the
Kinkaid claims in the Walker Lane trend covering numerous shallow Au-Ag-Cu workings over what is
believed to be one or more porphyry centres (source: J. Biczok, P.Geo, June 2025,
Kinkaid Gold-
Copper-Silver Project,
www.oreterra.com
), and the Scossa mine property in the Sleeper trend which is
a former high-grade gold producer (source: J. Biczok, P.Geo, July 2025,
Scossa Historic Gold Mine
Property
,
www.oreterra.com
). The Company also holds a 100% interest in the large Lundmark-Akow
Lake Au-Cu property adjacent to the northwest of the Musselwhite Mine in northwestern Ontario, where
drilling by the Company has produced highly encouraging, broad VMS-style Au-Cu intersections.
