Steadright conducts field assessments at Copper Valley

Mr. Matt Lewis reports STEADRIGHT UPDATE ON COPPER VALLEY COPPER-LEAD-SILVER PROJECT From Feb. 2, 2026, to Feb. 6, 2026, members of the NSM Capital Sarl geological team from Morocco, together with a Canadian earthworks contractor, were on site at Steadright Critical Minerals Inc.'s Copper Valley copper project to conduct field assessments in preparation for upcoming extraction activities. The on-site team evaluated the existing road network to determine haulage suitability and required upgrades for the planned movement of mineralized stockpiles. In addition, several test pits were examined to verify material characteristics and confirm extraction logistics for the initial phase of testing operations. This fieldwork follows Steadright's recent announcement that the former property owner, EMTF Sarl, had previously applied for a mining licence and environmental permit covering exploration permit No. 3843143, now being transferred into NSM Capital, a Morocco-based company. Steadright's Moroccan geological team expects receipt of the mining licence within the coming weeks. NSM Capital management has assumed responsibility for completing this process as expeditiously as possible. Steadright holds a 75-per-cent interest in the common shares of NSM Capital through a shareholder agreement with Critical Foundation Metals Inc. (CFM), which holds the remaining 25 per cent. See the news releases dated Jan. 8, 2026, and Jan. 20, 2026.

We are moving forward on our four properties in very, very good time and they should be quite proud.
