PTX Metals Inc. Initiates Work Program at Its

Shining Tree Gold Project

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 22, 2025) -

PTX Metals Inc. (TSXV: PTX) (OTCQB:

PANXF) (FSE: 9PX)

("

PTX

" or the "

Company

") is pleased to announce the start of a pre-drilling work

program at its Shining Tree Gold Project located in South Timmins, along the Ridout-Tyrrell Deformation

Zone (also known as "RTDZ") in Ontario, Canada.

The program objectives are to unveil the nature and the geometry of a larger-scale target related directly

or indirectly to the RTDZ, the latter hosting the neighbor projects McFarlane's Juby Deposit and the

IAMGold's Cote Gold mine.

PTX has retained the following firms to achieve the strategic program, which will result in an upcoming

drill program commencing shortly:

SRK Consulting

for a detailed structural analysis, focused on understanding the structural and

geological controls on gold mineralization to optimize the exploration strategy, including drill

planning and exploration for new gold zones and controls on higher-grade shoots.

Terrascope Inc

for a magnetic survey ("Mag Survey") approximately 8,000 hectares. The survey

will be flown at a detailed 35-m spacing and followed by a 3D inversion to expose and trace

geophysical anomalies from surface and at depth. Jointly compiled with SRK observations and

PTX's extensive geochemical database, the Company is expecting to refine the understandings

for a successful drill targeting.

PTX has consolidated key claims of the Shining Tree Project including the Ronda Target located in the

core portion of the property, where surface exploration in the past two years have resulted in discoveries

of additional high-grade zones from surface along the main structural breaks. Results from a large-scale

stripping and channel sampling in February 2024 have returned up to 60.30g/t gold over 0.50m within a

larger interval of 9.04g/t gold over 16.15m.

Both Gold projects including Shining Tree and Heenan Mallard, sit within the South Timmins Greenstone

Belt, which part of the larger Abitibi Greenstone Belt. While the Shining Tree Project extends over to the

west of McFarlane's Juby Deposit, PTX second gold discovery Heenan-Mallard Project borders the

Cote Gold mine's claim block directly to the northwest and along trend with the main RTDZ break.

Greg Ferron, CEO & President stated: "The Company's Shining Tree and Heenan-Mallard gold projects

jointly cumulate approximately 300 km

2

in size and successful exploration programs recently identified

respectively new high grade gold zones and wide near surface lower grade discovery. The projects are

also located in a very active region in Ontario with excellent access and proximity to major mines such as

Cote Gold deposit. We are keen to immediately advance work at Shining Tree."

Additionally, at PTX's W2 Cu Ni PGE Au flagship asset, the Company will release updates in the near-

future, and starting with 3D-inversion results from the 2025 magnetic survey released earlier this year,

giving newer insight on depth extension and refined targeting.
