About the Radar Critical Mineral Property in Labrador

The Radar Property comprises 690 mineral claims across 9 mineral licenses, totalling approximately

24,175 hectares in southeastern Labrador, located approximately 10 km south of Cartwright. The

Property entirely encloses the Dykes River Intrusive Complex ( ~160 km² at the surface) and is

accessible year-round via paved Route 510, a Cartwright logging road, and a SAGA -constructed

access trail. Infrastructure advantages include the deep -water port at Cartwright, the Cartwright

Airport (YRF), and proximity to regional hydroelectric power from Muskrat Falls and Churchill Falls.

Diamond drilling, geophysics, trenching and g eological mapping have confirmed a 29 km 2 oxide

corridor encompassing the Trapper, Falcon and Hawkeye Zones. VTM mineralization at Radar is

comparable to that of global Fe-Ti-V systems such as Panzhihua (China) and Bushveld (South Africa).

Subject to further exploration, resource definition, and metallurgical testing, the Project may

represent a strategic source of titanium, vanadium, and iron for North American markets.

encompassing the Trapper Zone, Hawkeye Zone, and the new Falcon Zone, with additional targets highlighted

to the west and north. The Property is well serviced by road access and is conveniently located near the town

of Cartwright, Labrador.

Wolverine REE Project Overview:

The Wolverine REE Project now comprises nine (9) contiguous mineral licenses totalling

approximately 294.5 km², situated approximately 50 km west of Hopedale and 12 km inland from the

Labrador coast . The project is accessible by fixed -wing aircraft to the Hopedale gravel airstrip,

followed by helicopter to site. Infrastructure advantages include commercial air services, ferry

services, and road access in the towns of Natuashish and Hopedale, with communities that have

established agreements with the nearby Vale Voisey’s Bay mine. The project is only 12 km from

tidewater, offering logistical support to potential year-round access.

relative to major projects in Labrador including the Strange Lake REE project in Quebec.

Wolverine REE Project Highlights:

• The Wolverine REE project lies within the peralkaline Flower Lake Igneous Suite, an intrusive-

volcanic complex that is part of the 1.28- to 1.13-billion-year-old Gardar rifting province, the

latter hosts globally significant REE deposits: Tanbreez within the Ilímaussaq alkaline

intrusive complex and Strange Lake within a peralkaline granite.

• The project which includes a contiguous 29,450 hectares has district-scale potential, HREE

enrichment, near-surface mineralization, and Tier-1 jurisdiction positions it as a potentially

significant strategic REE asset.

• 2025 reverse circulation (“RC”) drilling confirmed broad, near-surface REE

mineralization across a 1.7 km × 1.2 km area hosted within a significant peralkaline caldera

system.

• 537 samples from the 2025 program returned consistent mineralization, supporting strong

continuity across the drilled footprint. Key intercepts include:

o WOLRC25-003: 48.8 m @ 0.77% total rare earth oxides (“TREO*”) from 1.5 m,

including 18.3 m @ 1.06% TREO

o WOLRC25-006: 38.1 m @ 0.71% TREO from surface, including 4.6 m @ 1.53%

TREO

o WOLRC25-002: 51.8 m @ 0.52% TREO from surface, including 33.5 m @ 0.67%

TREO

• Peak drill program assays reached 2.03% TREO (WOLRC-006-25 – Sample 2355079 from

1.5-3 m), with an average heavy rare earth oxides (“HREO”) contribution of approximately

24-28%, highlighting strong heavy rare earth enrichment.

• Large-scale potential is supported by 26 km² of exposed mineralized tuff at surface, with

depths of only 25–50 m, and less than 10% of the prospective unit drilled to date.

• Mineralization remains open and under-explored, with >1% TREO enriched zones identified

• In the southwestern area of the Project, seven (7) REE-bearing peralkaline pegmatites have

been identified (Figure 3).

o Thirty-nine (39) grab sample returned assays up to 21.6% TREO.

Wolverine Diamond Drill Program Details

Crews are currently transporting supplies and establishing the full suite of camp infrastructure

required to support safe and efficient operations. The program will have four components that will

be fully integrated: 1) detailed mapping of the previous identified mineralized zone to define the

volcanic stratigraphy and alteration associated with heavy rare earth mineralization, 2) diamond

drill along and down dip throughout the mineralized zone and 3) evaluation of other high priority
