About Emergent Metals Corp.

Emergent is a gold and base metal exploration company focused on Nevada and Quebec. The company's strategy is to look for quality acquisitions, add value to these assets through exploration, and monetize them through sales, joint ventures, options, royalties and other transactions to create value for our shareholders -- an acquisition and divestiture business model.

In Nevada, Emergent's Golden Arrow property is an advanced-stage gold and silver property with a well-defined measured and indicated resource and a plan of operations and environmental assessment in place to conduct a major drilling program. As announced by press release on Sept. 29, 2025, Emergent is in the process of selling Golden Arrow to Fairchild Gold Corp. New York Canyon is an advanced-stage copper skarn and porphyry exploration property. The West Santa Fe property is a gold, silver and base metal property, subject to a lease with an option to purchase agreement with Lahontan Gold Corp. Buckskin Rawhide East is a gold and silver property leased to Rawhide Mining LLC, operator of the Rawhide mine.

In Quebec, the Casa South property is a gold exploration property located south of and adjacent to Hecla Mining Company's operating Casa Berardi mine and north of and adjacent to Iamgold Corp's Gemini Turgeon property. The Trecesson property is a gold exploration property located about 50 kilometres north of the Val d'Or mining camp.

Emergent has a 1-per-cent net smelter royalty in the Troilus North property, part of the Troilus gold project, being advanced by Troilus Mining Corp. toward production. The company has a 1-per-cent NSR in the East-West property, part of Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd.'s Canadian Malartic complex. Emergent also has a 1-per-cent NSR on the York property, part of Lahontan Gold's Santa Fe project in Nevada and being advanced toward production.

Note that the location of Emergent's properties adjacent to producing or past-producing mines or advanced-stage properties does not guarantee exploration success at Emergent's properties or that mineral resources or reserves will be delineated.
