(CSE: HRNY) (the “Company”) is issuing this news release at the request of the British Columbia Securities Commission (“BCSC”). The release responds to recent online promotional activity about the Company and clarifies its public disclosure.
The Company has become aware of articles about the Company published on third-party websites, bearing a copyright notice identifying Advertising Services Worldwide Ltd., including:
(together, the "Articles").
The Articles make statements about the Company, its Loljuh Property (the “ Property ”) and its securities that are inconsistent with the Company's public disclosure and may mislead investors. The Company did not prepare or endorse the Articles, and investors should not rely on them.
The Company has made inquiries of its directors, officers, employees and consultants, including its investor relations provider, Fairfax Partners Inc. (“ Fairfax ”). Based on those inquiries, the Company confirms that none of the Company, its directors, officers, employees, consultants or investor relations representatives, or any other person acting on its behalf (including Fairfax):
participated, directly or indirectly, in the preparation, review, approval, funding, dissemination or distribution of the Articles; or
was aware of the Articles before they were published.
The Company has no relationship with the authors or publishers of the Articles, or with any person the Company understands to be involved in preparing or distributing them.
The Company engaged Fairfax to provide investor relations services, as announced by the Company on August 22, 2026. To date, Fairfax's services have focused on building the Company's investor relations infrastructure. This includes the Company's website, an investor presentation, investor contact-management and reporting systems, and phone and email systems for receiving and responding to investor inquiries. Fairfax has also begun preparing an article about the Company. The article has not been reviewed or approved by the Company and it has not been published or distributed. Fairfax has confirmed to the Company that neither Fairfax nor any person acting on its behalf:
prepared, commissioned, reviewed, funded, disseminated or distributed the Articles or any other promotional material about the Company; or
engaged, paid or otherwise arranged for any third party to do so.
The Company requires that all investor relations materials prepared by Fairfax be reviewed and approved by the Company before publication or distribution, to ensure compliance with applicable securities laws, including NI 43-101.

The Company is an exploration-stage company. The Company clarifies that:
no mineral resource or mineral reserve has been estimated or established on the Property;
no drilling has been completed on the Property to date; and
there can be no assurance that the Company's ongoing or future exploration activities will result in the discovery of an economically viable mineral deposit.
The Articles repeatedly refer to mines, deposits, mineral resources and mineral reserves on properties near the Property or in the same region. The Company has no interest in those properties. The existence of mines, mineralization, mineral resources or mineral reserves on nearby or regional properties is not necessarily indicative of similar mineralization on the Property.
The Articles also refer to billions of dollars of gross metal value associated with nearby projects. Those references should not be read as reflecting the value of the Property, or as indicating that similar mineralization exists on the Property. The Company does not adopt or endorse any gross metal value figures in the Articles.
The Articles make statements about future share-price appreciation, investor demand, market re-rating and other anticipated market reactions. These statements are speculative, were not made or endorsed by the Company, and should not be relied upon by investors.
The Company is not aware of any material fact or material change in its business or affairs that has not been generally disclosed. Investors should rely only on the Company's continuous disclosure documents, which are filed under its profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca .
