TEAKO MINERALS CORP. ACQUIRES INTEREST IN NORWEGIAN VADDAS AND BIRTAVARRE PROJECTS FROM CAPELLA MINERALS, ALLOWING ALL-YEAR ROUND OPERATIONS

Teako Minerals Corp. has arranged a strategic partnership with Capella Minerals Ltd. and has entered into an agreement dated July 12, 2023, to acquire a 50-per-cent interest in each of the Vaddas and Birtavarre projects located in northern Norway, with the option to acquire a 100-per-cent interest in the projects. The projects being acquired embarks on Teako's mission to expand its operations into Scandinavia in search of and to secure access to critical metals like copper (Cu) and cobalt (Co) -- metals that are imperative for the green and digital transition. Capella is an arm's-length party to Teako.

The projects held by Capella Minerals:

• Two separate copper-cobalt (high-grade Cu-Co-rich VMS (volcanogenic massive sulphide) deposits) projects, Vaddas and Birtavarre, that form the Vaddas-Birtavarre district -- a past-producing Cu-Co-rich massive sulphide district in northern Norway.

The terms of the agreement:

• Teako will acquire a 50-per-cent interest in the projects upon the issuance of one million shares of the company to Capella, with the option to acquire a 100-per-cent interest by:
  • Investing $100,000 in exploration expenditures into the projects within the first year; and
  • Issuing an additional 250,000 shares in both the first and second year to Capella.

All shares issued to Capella will be subject to a four-month-and-one-day hold, and are subject to the company's filing requirements with the Canadian Securities Exchange and approval of the CSE, as may be required under CSE Policy 6.

Concurrent with the agreement, Teako and Capella will enter into a strategic partnership regarding effective communication and collaboration within the Scandinavian region. Teako and Capella will also be committing to exploring new opportunities, testing new exploration technologies and supporting each other in the field whenever possible.

Teako maximizes exploration opportunities with year-round operations

Teako is embracing a strategic operational model that takes full advantage of the varying exploration seasons across the different geographical regions. With a portfolio of exploration projects spanning British Columbia and Norway, Teako's unique approach enables the company to conduct exploration and drilling activities throughout the year.

Teako's projects in British Columbia typically enjoy their prime exploration season during the warmer summer months. As the season wraps up in British Columbia, exploration activities in Norway are kicking into high gear, benefitting from a slightly later exploration season.

This innovative strategy allows Teako to maximize its exploration and drilling operations, ensuring a continuous workflow that keeps the momentum going all year round. By aligning its operations with the natural exploration seasons in these diverse locations, Teako can maintain a steady pace of activity, enabling it to potentially expedite the discovery and development of valuable mineral resources.

With newly appointed country managers (see news release dated June 14, 2023) and a diversified team, Teako boasts a modern company structure and stands in good stead to operate in different jurisdictions. Teako's country managers are based in British Columbia, Norway and Finland -- allowing Teako to advance the company's affairs in a continuous manner, ensuring operations across different time zones and jurisdictions are conducted efficiently.

Teako is also planning to utilize the Norwegian project portfolio as a test hub for its technology partners.

About the Vaddas-Birtavarre copper-cobalt project in Norway

The Vaddas-Birtavarre copper-cobalt project is situated in the past-producing Vaddas-Birtavarre copper-cobalt and zinc volcanic massive sulphide district of northern Norway, and includes two main prospects: Vaddas and Birtavarre. The Vaddas-Birtavarre district is located in the Finnmark og Troms province, approximately 60 kilometres east of the regional centre of Tromso.

There are three claims that make up the Birtavaare claims, representing 30 square kilometres, and a further 13 claims that make up the Vaddas claims, representing 90.69 square km. These 16 exploration claims are all 100 per cent owned by Capella and are not subject to any underlying exploration agreements or royalties. The property has great access through all-weather paved highways and gravel roads.

The Vaddas-Birtavarre district represents, in both companies' views, one of the highest potentials for new copper-cobalt discoveries in Norway.

The Vaddas-Birtavarre district contains a number of known Caledonian-age semi-massive to massive sulphide deposits, which are hosted within different stratigraphic levels: a lowermost greenstone unit (locally pillow basalts) hosts copper-cobalt mineralization at Vaddas, whilst an overlying metasedimentary sequence hosts copper-cobalt mineralization at Birtavarre.

The first reported discovery of copper mineralization at Vaddas was in the 1890s (and at Birtavarre in the 1860s) with only limited exploration and small-scale mining having been undertaken since the time of discovery. No systematic exploration is reported to have been undertaken in the area since the 1970s. See Capella's website for more information.
