Spanish Mountain Gold Signs Memorandum of Understanding With Metso,

Canada Inc.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 27, 2026--Spanish Mountain

Gold Ltd. (the "Company" or "Spanish Mountain Gold") (TSX-V: SPA) (FSE: S3Y)

(OTCQB: SPAUF) is pleased to announce that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding

(“MoU”) with Metso Canada Inc. (“Metso”), as it moves closer to advancing its Spanish

Mountain Gold (“SMG”) project towards feasibility and permitting. The SMG project is located

in the Cariboo District corridor in British Columbia, Canada.

President and CEO, Peter Mah stated:

"Spanish Mountain Gold moves ahead with the signing of a MoU with Metso Canada Inc.

regarding the collaboration and support for the proposed process plant and tailings dewatering

facilities. This collaboration includes trade-off studies as well as support in equipment selection

and supply of process solutions. Subject to the execution of definitive agreements, Metso may

also provide customary performance commitments for its equipment solutions as SMG advances

the project towards feasibility and ultimately a build decision. If SMG selects Metso’s equipment

solutions during the anticipated feasibility phase towards a build decision, SMG would be

targeting up to $50M of potential Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) financing which

could be backed by a state export credit agency (ECA) subject to lender approvals and execution

of definitive agreements. This marks a key milestone for the company as it prepares for the next

stages of development.”

Spanish Mountain Gold’s sustainability strategy, “The Relentless Pursuit for Better Gold” aligns

extremely well with Metso’s industry-leading portfolio of equipment and innovative technology

under the Metso Plus offering which can viewed in the following link Our Metso Plus offering -
