NEWS RELEASE
Canada’s Critical Minerals Sector Re-Rates on Structural Demand Shift
Vancouver, British Columbia – April 6th, 2026 – Power One Resources Corp. (TSX:V - PWR0) (“Power
One” or the “Company”) reports Canada is strengthening its position as a global leader in critical minerals
development, driven by rising geopolitical demand, supply chain restructuring, and an increasing strategic
focus on securing domestic supply.
Critical minerals including copper, nickel, cobalt, uranium, and rare earth elements are becoming central
to energy infrastructure, defence manufacturing, and advanced technology systems. As global supply
chains become more concentrated and geopolitically sensitive, Canada’s role as a stable, resource -rich
jurisdiction continues to gain strategic importance.
Government support for critical minerals development, including initiatives targeting rare earth elements
and other strategic metals, continues to reinforce Canada’s position in global supply chain security. These
programs are contributing to increased exploration activity and renewed investment across the sector.
This evolving backdrop is contributing to a broader re -rating of exploration-stage assets across Canada,
particularly those with district -scale potential, large geological systems, and multi -commodity
characteristics. Market attention is increasingly shifting toward projects aligned with long-term structural
demand rather than short -term commodity cycles, including historic mining camps that have not been
fully evaluated using modern exploration techniques.
Within this context, Power One is positioned as an exploration company focused on opportunities within
Canada’s evolving critical minerals landscape.
The Company holds a district-scale land package at the Pecors Project within Ontario’s historic Elliot Lake
mining camp, an area with a long history of mineral production and emerging recognition for multi -
commodity potential.
Power One also holds and retains a 25% interest in the Wicheeda West Project in British Columbia, located
near Prince George, BC, within the broader Rocky Mountain rare earth metal belt and shares a contiguous
boundary with Defense Metals Corp.’s Wicheeda rare earth element project.

The Wicheeda West Project is subject to a joint venture agreement with Primary Hydrogen Corp., under
which Primary Hydrogen Corp. may earn up to an 75% interest in the project, subject to completion of
certain conditions and expenditures.
The Company’s flagship Pecor’s Project remains the primary focus of its exploration strategy, reflecting its
district-scale potential within Ontario’s historic Elliot Lake mining camp and its strategic importance within
the Company’s broader Canadian critical minerals portfolio. The Pecor’s anomaly, as interpreted from
historical geophysical surveys, is a large-scale exploration target measuring approximately 5.7 km by 4.2
km, representing a significant regional magnetic feature within a structurally complex geological setting
that remains un derexplored at depth (see press release January 17, 2022) . The Company is planning a
return to the project in the near term and will continue advancing evaluation and exploration activities as
part of its ongoing work program, including plans for a drill program aimed at testing the deeper zone of
the Pecor’s anomaly. This program is intended to further evaluate the scale, continuity, and potential
mineralized extent of the system at depth.
About the Pecors Property
The Pecors Property comprises over 2,300 hectares within Ontario's Elliot Lake Uranium Belt, a historically
productive district with established infrastructure. The project covers a region-scale magnetic and gravity
anomaly interpreted to reflect a large g abbroic or mafic intrusive body. Multiple conductive , structural
and magnetic trends extend across the property, suggesting a deep -seated mineral or fluid system with
both metallic and hydrogen-generative potential.
