TORONTO, Feb. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Labrador Gold Corp. (TSX.V: LAB | FNR: 2N6) (“LabGold” or the “Corporation”) today announced that based on a detailed review of the proxy materials filed by Coloured Ties Capital Inc. (“Coloured Ties” or the “Dissident”) in connection with the Corporation’s upcoming Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held on February 24, 2026 (the “Meeting”), it believes there are material and misleading deficiencies that LabGold shareholders should be advised on. As a result, the votes cast on the Dissident’s Gold Form of Proxy and Gold Voting Instruction Form (“Gold Proxy”) may need to be rejected by the Chair at the Meeting based on the inconsistencywith the Dissident’s own Shareholder Meeting Requisition (the “Requisition”) that it submitted to the Corporation. LabGold shareholders are urged to vote ONLY on the BLUE Form of Proxy (Proxy) or BLUE Voting Instruction Form (VIF) to ensure their votes are counted at the Meeting, and to disregard any Gold or other Proxy that they receive from the Dissident.
The material deficiencies in the Dissident’s proxy materials show a fundamental lack of competence of the Dissident and their nominees and undermine the ability of shareholders to make a clear, informed choice about the future of LabGold. This highlights the significant risks LabGold shareholders assume by supporting the Dissident’s self-serving campaign for effective control without paying a premium to all shareholders.

Dissident’s Gold Proxy Does Not Reflect the Contents of The Requisition
The Dissident’s circular and Gold Proxy misrepresent how the election of directors vote must work at the Meeting based on the terms of the Requisition. The Dissident’s statements and suggestion that the Corporation’s BLUE Proxy and BLUE VIF is inaccurate are simply wrong. They seem intent on creating confusion and doubt for LabGold shareholders about how to vote. In fact, the Dissident self-servingly omitted LabGold’s nominees from the Gold Proxy, which also does not accurately reflect that the Requisition included express conditions and a single ordinary resolution slate vote for its four nominees. This is a desperate manipulation of the clear terms of the Requisition.
This is a replay of the Dissident’s playbook in previous proxy fights: present selective information to win shareholder votes, gain control of a company to serve their own agenda, and destroy value for the very shareholders who bought into the unrealistic dream.
Shareholders Are Urged to Vote ONLY the BLUE Proxy or BLUE VIF to Ensure Their Votes Are Counted.
The Corporation’s BLUE Proxy and BLUE VIF are consistent with the Requisition, all applicable laws and LabGold by-laws, and include all items of business to be considered at the Meeting. This allows all LabGold shareholders to make as clear and informed of a choice as possible in the circumstances.
The BLUE Proxy and BLUE VIF reflects the LabGold Board of Director’s unanimous recommendations to vote “FOR” the Corporation’s resolutions, which supports LabGold’s long-term strategy including the Change of Business and the qualified LabGold nominees, and “AGAINST”/”WITHHOLD” on the Dissident’s resolutions. Shareholders are strongly encouraged to vote using ONLY the BLUE Proxy and BLUE VIF to ensure their votes are counted at the Meeting.

About Labrador Gold Corp.
LabGold is a Canadian-based mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition and exploration of prospective gold projects in Eastern Canada.
The Hopedale property covers much of the Archean-age Florence Lake greenstone belt, which extends over 60 kilometers. While typical of greenstone belts globally, the area has been underexplored. LabGold’s work to date has identified gold anomalies in rocks, soils, and lake sediments across a three-kilometer section of the northern portion of the belt. Five gold occurrences lie along this trend, four of which were discovered by LabGold. Additional anomalous gold values occur across approximately 40 kilometers of the southern portion of the belt. Recent exploration has also demonstrated potential for copper, nickel, and cobalt.
The Borden Lake project near Chapleau, Ontario lies immediately southeast of Discovery Silver Corp’s Borden gold mine. Past exploration by LabGold identified two anomalous zones based on geochemistry and geophysics.
The Corporation has 170,009,979 common shares issued and outstanding and trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol LAB.
