THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Vancouver, British Columbia – ThenNewswire -  January 19, 2026 — Blast Resources Inc. (“ Blast ” or the “ Company ”) (CSE: BLST | FSE: O0E | OTCQB: BLSRF) is pleased to announce the completion of its listing on the OTCQB Venture Market (“OTCQB”), enhancing accessibility for U.S. investors. The Company has also secured eligibility for its common shares to settle electronically via the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), enabling smoother, more cost-effective transactions through the U.S. clearing system.

Trading on the OTCQB under the symbol “BLSRF” commenced on January 15, 2026. The shares continue to trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) under the ticker “BLST” and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FSE) as “O0E,” maintaining a multi-jurisdictional presence.

This DTC qualification streamlines electronic settlement, lowers transaction expenses, and broadens participation by meeting key compliance standards for a greater number of U.S. brokers and platforms—ultimately improving liquidity and visibility for North American shareholders.

Casey Forward, President and Chief Executive Officer of Blast, stated, “Securing our OTCQB listing and DTC eligibility represents a step forward in expanding our investor base across the United States. This development makes it more straightforward for American investors to participate in our growth story as we aim to advance our uranium assets in the prolific Athabasca Basin, including the Wales Lake project. With uranium demand rising globally to support the clean energy transition, we are fully committed to executing our exploration plans and delivering shareholder value in the months ahead. This U.S. market entry positions us strongly for the next phase of development.”

About Blast and the Athabasca Basin

Blast owns several claims and holds an option on additional claims comprising a mineral exploration project in Saskatchewan. The project is located near Highway 955 (all-weather highway) south of Wales Lake and sits just outside the southwest margin of the Athabasca Basin. The properties sit in geographic proximity to the Patterson Lake Corridor containing several Uranium deposits. This area of Saskatchewan is the center of intense geologic exploration over the last several years from the number of economic and near economic discoveries of Uranium Oxide (U3O8) and the grades having been discovered. Uranium deposits occurring in the Athabasca Basin average 20 times the global average of Uranium. 1

Although the Company believes that the expectations and assumptions on which the forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements because the Company cannot give any assurance that they will prove correct.  Since forward looking statements address future events and conditions, they involve inherent assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of assumptions, factors and risks.  These assumptions and risks include, but are not limited to, assumptions and risks associated with mineral exploration generally and results from anticipated and proposed exploration programs, conditions in the equity financing markets, and assumptions and risks regarding receipt of regulatory and shareholder approvals.

Management has provided the above summary of risks and assumptions related to forward looking statements in this press release in order to provide readers with a more comprehensive perspective on the Company’s future operations. The Company’s actual results, performance or achievement could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements and, accordingly, no assurance can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, what benefits the Company will derive from them.  These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this press release, and, other than as required by applicable securities laws, the Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise.

Referenced nearby resources, deposits, projects and mines provide geologic context for the Company’s projects, but are not necessarily indicative that they host similar potential, size or grades of mineralization. No mineral resources have been estimated at the Company’s projects and there is no assurance that further work will result in a mineral resource classification. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Neither the CSE Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the CSE) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
