NOVARED MINING ANNOUNCES STRONG EARLY DEMAND FOR METALCORE PLATFORM FOLLOWING CUSTOMER ONBOARDING LAUNCH

Novared Mining Inc. has launched customer onboarding for its AI-driven (artificial intelligence) mineral exploration platform, MetalCore, through the company's on-line portal. The company reports strong initial market interest, with 249 applicants already registering through the onboarding system shortly after launch.

MetalCore was developed to improve how mineral exploration opportunities are identified, evaluated and prioritized in an increasingly data-intensive mining environment. The platform is designed to integrate multiple geological data sets, including geology, geochemistry, geophysics, historical reports, nearby deposits, structural trends and property-level information into a probabilistic scoring model intended to help rank high-priority exploration targets.

The milestone follows Novared's previously announced provisional patent filing with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office titled "Artificial Intelligence-Driven Mineral Exploration Platform with Multi-Source Geological Data Integration, Probabilistic Scoring Engine and Blockchain-Based Document Verification System" (see news release dated April 17, 2026).

In connection with the launch, Brian Goss, chief executive officer of Novared Mining, stated: "The early onboarding response validates the broader vision behind MetalCore. We believe the future of mineral exploration will increasingly depend on the ability to organize fragmented geological data, identify patterns faster and make better exploration decisions earlier in the process."

MetalCore has been developed in collaboration with PRAI Inc.'s AI team, which includes professionals connected to leading global technology ecosystems and accelerator programs associated with Nvidia, Google, Microsoft, Stanford, Techstars and JPMorgan Chase initiatives.

Novared's core business remains mineral exploration, with the company continuing to advance its district-scale Wilmac copper-gold project in British Columbia's Quesnel porphyry belt. The company believes MetalCore adds a second layer to its long-term strategy by creating proprietary technology designed to improve target generation, project evaluation and exploration efficiency.

The company also believes the market opportunity for mineral prospectivity technology is significant. In the United States alone, approximately 77 million private landowners control roughly 1.3 billion acres of land, while very few tools currently exist to help evaluate subsurface mineral potential. Novared intends to continue expanding MetalCore's data integration capabilities, scoring models and commercial partnerships as development progresses.
