Wayfinder Closes Oversubscribed Private Placement

Edmonton, AB, July 17, 2026 – Wayfinder Metals Corp. (formerly Westmount Minerals Corp.;

“Wayfinder”) (CSE: WMC ) is pleased to announce the closing of its Offering previously

announced on July 7, 2026, with the sale of an aggregate of 8,737,795 units (the “ Units”) at a

price of $0. 12 per Unit for total gross proceeds of $1,048,535 (the “ Offering”). Each Unit

consists of one (1) common share of Wayfinder and one-half of a share purchase warrant (each

whole share purchase warrant, a " Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one

additional common share at an exercise price of $0.20 per share for a period of two (2) years

from the date of issuance.

In connection with the sale of these Units, Wayfinder paid a total of $28,141 in cash and issued

234,510 finder’s warrants (the “ Finder’s Warrants”) to an eligible finder for certain of the Units

sold. Each Finder’s Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one (1) common share of Wayfinder

at a price of $0.12 per share, for up to two (2) years from the date of issuance.

The net proceeds from the Offering will be used for general working capital requirements . All

securities issued are subject to a hold period until November 16, 2026.

Certain insiders of Wayfinder , being directors and officers of Wayfinder and companies

controlled by them , participated in the Offering, acquiring a total of 759,167 Units. Such

subscription by these insiders for a portion of the Offering constitutes a related party transaction

for the purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in

Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”), but Wayfinder is relying on exemptions from the formal

valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements provided under sections 5.5(a) and

5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 on the basis that the fair market value of the subscription, insofar as it

involves the insider s of Wayfinder does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the

Issuer, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101.

The Offering did not result in the creation of a new control person.
