Pacific Booker Minerals Inc. Provides Update on the Presence of Critical Minerals

Executive Summary

• Pacific Booker Minerals submitted core samples from the Morrison Project for laboratory analysis to confirm critical mineral content.
• Prior analyses identified copper, molybdenum, gold, and silver; current testing detected nine additional Government‑of‑Canada Critical Minerals (cobalt, chromium, gallium, lithium, manganese, nickel, scandium, vanadium, zinc) plus barium and the rare earths neodymium and praseodymium.
• The company notes that commercial recoverability of these elements has not yet been demonstrated, so no valuation impact can be assessed at this time.
