NEWS RELEASE

JAMES THURSTON ACQUIRES SECURITIES OF INTERNATIONAL METALS MINING CORP.

March 31, 2025 - Vancouver, BC - James Thurston (the "Acquiror") announces that he has directly acquired an aggregate of 2,666,666 units (the "Units" and each, a "Unit") of International Metal Mining Corp. (the "Company"), effective March 26, 2025 (the "Acquisition"). Each Unit consists of one (1) common share of the Company ("Share") and one-half (1/2) of one (1) Share purchase warrant of the Company, whereby each whole Share purchase warrant of the Company ("Warrant") is exercisable at a price of $0.15 into an additional Share of the Company.

The Units were acquired pursuant to a debt settlement agreement (the "Agreement"), and represent approximately 2,666,666 Shares and 1,333,333 Warrants, representing approximately 19.13% of the Company's issued and outstanding Shares as of March 26, 2025 on a non-diluted basis and 26.19% on a partially diluted basis, resulting in a corresponding change to the aggregate percentage ownership of the Company by the Acquiror.

The Warrants contain a provision that prevents the Acquiror from exercising such number of Warrants that would result in the Acquiror, together with any person acting jointly or in concert with the Acquiror, from owning, controlling or directing, directly or indirectly, Shares that represent more than 19.99% of the issued and outstanding Shares.

Immediately following the Acquisition, the Acquiror directly held 2,666,666 Shares and 1,333,333 Warrants representing approximately 19.13% of the Company's issued and outstanding Shares as of March 26, 2025 on a non-diluted basis and 26.19% on a partially diluted basis. Each Unit was issued at a deemed value of $0.075 for aggregate deemed consideration of $200,000.

The holdings of securities of the Company by the Acquiror are managed for investment purposes, and the Acquiror could increase or decrease his investment in the Company at any time, or continue to maintain his current investment position, depending on market conditions or any other relevant factors.
