ARRAS MINERALS REPORTS 108.0M @ 0.94 % CUEQ, INCLUDING 30.8M @ 2.21 % CUEQ FROM RE-ANALYSIS OF HISTORICAL DRILLHOLES ON THE BEREZSKI EAST PROJECT IN KAZAKHSTAN

Arras Minerals Corp. has released the results from the reanalysis of samples from three historic diamond drill holes from the Berezski East project, located within the company's Elemes exploration licence in northeastern Kazakhstan. The Elemes licence is not included in the Teck-Arras Strategic Exploration Alliance announced on December 7, 2023.

Highlights from the Re-Assay include:

• Bz6 - 108.0 meters ("m") of mineralization grading 0.94 % CuEq or 1.33 /t AuEq (1.30 g/t gold ("Au"), 0.19 % copper ("Cu") and 1.5 g/t silver ("Ag")) starting at surface.
• Including 30.8 m grading 2.21 % CuEq or 2.66 g/t AuEq (3.14 g/t Au, 0.39 % Cu and 3.0 g/t Ag) starting at surface.
• Bz16 - 46.0 m of mineralization grading 0.71 % CuEq or 0.86 g/t AuEq (0.95 g/t Au, 0.17 % Cu and 0.8 g/t Ag) starting at 87.0 m depth down-hole.
• Including 18.0 m grading 1.05 % CuEq or 1.28 g/t AuEq (1.54 g/t Au, 0.17 % Cu and 0.7 g/t Ag) from 102.0 m depth down-hole.
• Bz20 - 94.0 m of mineralization grading 0.59 % CuEq or 0.71 g/t AuEq (0.81 g/t Au, 0.12 % Cu and 0.9 g/t Ag) starting at 199.0 m depth down-hole.
• Including 42.0 m grading 0.99 % CuEq or 1.20 g/t AuEq (1.43 g/t Au, 0.17 % Cu and 1.0 g/t Ag) from 227.0 m depth down-hole.

Tim Barry, CEO, commented, "The recent re-analysis program at Berezski East and Quartzite-Gorka has underscored the promising mineralizing system developing within our Elemes Licence. Our efforts over the past year have revealed a significant at-surface zone of mineralization, extending across a 5-kilometer strike, with potential expansions in every direction. To date, key areas of interest include "porphyry style" mineralization found at the Berezski East, Berezski Central, and Quartzite Gorka prospects, and "epithermal style" mineralization found at the Karagandy-Ozek prospect. Re-logging and re-assay of historic drill holes has verified intercepts of high-grade of mineralization often exceeding 100 meters in thickness and often starting from surface. It is also important to note that many of historical drill holes end in mineralization as most of the drilling was quite shallow, averaging between 200-300 meters in depth."

Notes: Copper Equivalent ("CuEq") grades reported for the drill holes at Berezski East were calculated using the following formula: CuEq % = Copper (%) + (Gold (g/t) x 0.8264) + (Silver (g/t) x 0.0107). Gold Equivalent ("AuEq") grades reported for the drill holes at Berezski were calculated using the following formula: AuEq g/t = Gold (g/t) + (Copper (%) x 1.2100) + (Silver (g/t) x 0.0129). Assumptions used for the copper and gold equivalent calculations were metal prices of US$3.00/lb. Copper, US$1,700/oz Gold, US$22/oz Silver, and metallurgical recoveries were assumed to be 90% for Cu and Au and 50% for Ag and Mo. Intervals are core-length and original core recovery is estimated to be > 90 %.

The Berezski East Project: is located within the 425 square kilometre Elemes mineral exploration licence. The Elemes license is located within the Bozshakol-Chingiz metallogenic belt that also hosts the Company's flagship Beskauga porphyry copper-gold project approximately 80 km to the east, and KAZ Minerals' Bozshakol porphyry copper-gold mine approximately 60 km to the northwest. Elemes benefits from excellent modern infrastructure and ease of accessibility, being located only 20 kilometres ("km") from Arras' operational base in the city of Ekibastuz, northeastern Kazakhstan. A paved highway runs through the license, and within 1 km of the Berezski East project. 1100 KVA power lines and heavy rail all lie within a 15 kilometer radius of the project.

Berezski East was drilled between 2007 and 2010 by the previous operators. Nineteen drillholes for a total of 5,695 meters have been drilled at the project, to a maximum depth of 372.5 meters with an average depth of 299.7 meters per hole. Mineralization remains open in several directions and at depth. Fourteen historical drill core and all available coarse rejects have been acquired by Arras and are now stored at the Company's core storage facility in Ekibastuz. All available drill-core have been re-logged in detail by Arras employees for lithology, structure, alteration, and mineralization.

The mineralization seen at Berezski East is interpreted to be part of a gold-rich porphyry copper-gold system, which forms part of a far larger porphyry-epithermal system within the Elemes License. Identified prospects to date include: Berezski East, Berezski Central, Quartzite Gorka, and Karagandy-Ozek, the locations of which are shown in the map below.

Re-analysis of the core: The re-analysis of coarse rejects from Berezski East demonstrates the high-grade nature of the mineralization. Individual assays returned up to 18.0 g/t Au, 1.01 % Cu and 47.7 g/t Ag, respectively. The gold-rich mineralization comprises of sheeted and/or stockwork veining of quartz-magnetite "A" veins with minor chalcopyrite-bornite plus or minus k-feldspar halos; magnetite-only "M" veins; and quartz-chalcopyrite veins. Locally disseminated patches of chalcopyrite, bornite and pyrite occur. Anhydrite veins and late epidote-carbonate veins are also observed. The host diorite intrusion of Ordovician age is fine-grained, equigranular and typically highly magnetic. Strong potassic (k-feldspar-quartz-magnetite-secondary biotite) alteration of the host diorite has been variably overprinted by intermediate argillic (illite-chlorite) alteration. A shallow weathering crust comprises of intense kaolinite and iron-oxide alteration with minor supergene copper mineralization.

A high-resolution airborne magnetic survey over the Elemes property by Arras and 3D inversion of the resulting data demonstrates that the known mineralization at Berezski East sits on the edge of a distinct magnetic high that extends to the northwest, eventually linking with the Karagandy-Ozek low sulfidation epithermal gold prospect where high gold grades were reported in Soviet-era exploration trenches. The airborne survey has significantly improved the Company's understanding of the structural controls on the mineralization and provided several new drill targets within the immediate vicinity.

Re-logging, Assay, QAQC Procedures: All available drill core from Berezski East have been re-logged in detail by Arras employees for lithology, structure, alteration and mineralization (Figure 1). In addition, Arras also measured several petrophysical properties on the drill core including density, magnetic susceptibility, conductivity, resistivity and induced polarization. High resolution photographs of all drill core were captured using Seequent's Imago cloud-based image management software. The core was also analyzed for alteration minerals using TerraSpec SWIR/NIR spectroscopy, with final interpretation pending.

The re-assayed coarse rejects from Berezski East were prepared in Arras' in-house sample preparation laboratory in Ekibastuz by Arras employees. As the coarse rejects had been in dry storage since 2007/08, they were first re-homogenized by passing through a roller crusher (=85 % passing below -75-microns. A 30 g aliquot was then analyzed for gold content by fire assay with an Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) finish (SAEL method: Au-AA25(TM)). A second pulp split was analyzed for 46 elements by a combination of Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) and Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES) after four-acid digestion on a 1.0 g aliquot (SAEL method: MA/UT(TM)). All samples exceeding 1% copper were re-analyzed using a 4-acid digest ICP-MS ore grade method. SAEL laboratory is accredited to ISO 17025:2005 UKAS ref 4028 and have internal QA/QC programs for monitoring accuracy and precision. Internal QA/QC samples were inserted by the analytical laboratory and reviewed by the Company prior to release. No material QA/QC issues have been identified. SAEL is entirely independent of the Company.
