Inventus Expands Shallow Gold Mineralization and Advances Bulk Sampling at The Pardo River of Gold Project

• Inventus Mining Corp. released Phase 2 drilling results from its Pardo "River of Gold" Project confirming mineralization in both Main and Matinenda Layers.
• Key intercepts include 14.10 g/t Au over 1.59 m in the Main Layer and wider intervals in the Matinenda Layer (e.g., 0.39 g/t Au over 10.50 m).
• Bulk sampling operations are ongoing with processing of remaining 7,500 tonnes from Trench 1 underway; results expected in June.
• A second drill rig is planned for mid-June to accelerate the 7,000-metre program toward a maiden resource estimate targeted for Q4 2026.
• The company continues to evaluate an Upper Conglomerate Layer as an additional shallow target.

• Execution Validation: The news confirms that capital raised in the April 2026 financing ($2.5M) is being deployed effectively to advance exploration and bulk sampling, aligning with management's stated strategy.
• Cash Flow Continuity: Following the March 2026 announcement of $1.17 million in gold sales (102% return over cost), this update reinforces the viability of non-dilutive cash generation through bulk sampling before a maiden resource is defined.
• Resource Timeline: The confirmation of multiple layers and acceleration of drilling supports the Q4 2026 maiden resource estimate target, reducing timeline uncertainty for investors.
• Market Expectation: Given the consistent high-grade results throughout late 2025 and early 2026 (e.g., March bulk sample success), this news is largely in line with previous expectations rather than introducing a new surprise catalyst.
• Dilution Context: The recent April financing closed at $0.285 per share, while the current price sits at $0.25. This news provides fundamental support for the valuation but does not immediately offset the dilutive impact of the recent offering or future warrants.
