Quantum Critical to complete site visits on Babine

Ms. Marcy Kiesman reports QUANTUM VISITS BABINE COPPER PROJECTS, BC Crews have been dispatched to complete site visits on Quantum Critical Metals Corp.'s Babine copper projects north of Smithers, B.C. The objectives for the site visits are to establish access to the properties and to locate and verify previous Minfile showings while continuing geological mapping and undertaking grab samples where possible on the claims. Babine North The Babine North property covers the historic Friday Red copper B.C. Minfile showing, which hosts disseminated chalcopyrite within a unit of volcanic rocks. It is located 90 kilometres east of Hazelton, B.C. The geology consists of volcanic rocks interbedded with mudstones of the lower Jurassic Telkwa formation, intruded by a highly magnetic feldspar porphyry dike. Babine East The Babine East package is situated along the western side of the northwestern arm of Takla Lake and hosts the Adda B.C. Minfile showing. Historical assays reported 5.49 grams per tonne silver and 10.6 per cent copper from veins of chalcopyrite measuring five to 7.6 centimetres in width. Babine South and Swift The Babine South property covers the B.C. Minfile Bol showing on the north side of Babine Lake, where historical sampling yielded silver values up to 2,790 g/t (99.6 ounces per ton). The geology is Cache Creek greenstone, with mineralization occurring in quartz-carbonate veins and shears within foliated greenstone, hosting galena, sphalerite, tetrahedrite, chalcopyrite, native silver, pyrrhotite and pyrite. The Babine Swift property covers 487 hectares and hosts a historic Minfile showing with several styles of mineralization. Disseminated chalcopyrite and pyrite are hosted in andesite intermittently over two km. Stringer quartz occurs with chalcopyrite, quartz-carbonate veins range from a few centimetres to 1.5 metres wide with hematite and trace chalcopyrite, and massive sulphide boulders are also present. Grab samples returned 0.46 to 1.28 per cent copper, 11.6 to 14.8 g/t silver and 0.13 to 2.15 g/t gold. Babine West The Babine West property covers 2,300 hectares and borders the western side of American Eagle's NAK deposit and Amarc Resources' Duke property. Results from 2024 exploration on this project were reported in a news release dated March 13, 2025. Qualified person Melane Mackay, PGeo, is the qualified person who has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical disclosure in this news release. Chief executive officer Marcy Kiesman stated: "Quantum continues to advance its portfolio of critical metal projects to supply North America with critical minerals while developing opportunities for future joint ventures and collaborations with other mining companies. Geological mapping and outcrop sampling are essential early-stage exploration activities that set the stage for geophysics and drilling. We are eager to continue advancing these projects with our excellent field team." About Quantum Critical Metals Corp. Quantum Critical is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on advancing critical metal projects that power next-generation technologies. With a growing portfolio of promising assets -- including the NMX East gallium-rubidium-cesium project in Quebec, the Discovery gallium-rubidium-cesium and polymetallic project in Quebec, and the Victory antimony project in British Columbia -- and the newly acquired Prophecy germanium-gallium-zinc project in British Columbia, among others, the company is strategically positioned to support the West's transition to a secure and sustainable critical metal supply. We seek Safe Harbor.
