GETCHELL GOLD CORP. ADVISED OF COMPLAINT FILED REGARDING MINING CLAIMS TITLE, FONDAWAY CANYON, NV

Getchell Gold Corp. has provided an update on the claim staking conducted by NV Minerals Corp., a private Nevada-registered corporation, on land coincident with and overlapping certain of the company's existing claims at the Fondaway Canyon gold project in Nevada.

Getchell has been advised by U.S. legal counsel that NV Minerals has filed a complaint against Getchell in Churchill county, Nevada. The complaint alleges claims for quiet title and declaratory relief related to mining claims based on a purported long-ago forfeiture of claims.

In Getchell's opinion, the mineral claims tenure at Fondaway has been continuously held and maintained by Getchell (and predecessors) in an uninterrupted manner since the mid-1950s as is presently reflected in the claims' good and active standing in the records of both the United States Bureau of Land Management and Churchill County.

The company intends to file an aggressive legal response to and counterclaim against the NV Minerals complaint. The response is being prepared and is required to be filed no later than 21 days upon the company being served.

Getchell will continue to develop the project as originally planned and is moving ahead in 2026 to complete a comprehensive plan of operations filing with the relevant regulatory authorities to accelerate development at Fondaway (see the company's news release dated March 19, 2026).
