ORECAP FILES MCGARRY NI 43-101 HIGHLIGHTS KERR-ADDISON-STYLE GOLD SYSTEM AND CLEAR PATH TOWARD RESOURCE DEFINITION

Orecap Invest Corp. has filed an independent National Instrument 43-101 technical report for its McGarry project has been filed by the company and Stardust Metal Corp. (Canadian Securities Exchange: ZIGY) on SEDAR+, providing a comprehensive technical review of one of the most strategically located brownfield gold assets in the Kirkland Lake-Larder Lake district.

Highlights

• McGarry covers approximately 2.4 kilometres of the Larder Lake-Cadillac deformation zone, one of Canada's most prolific gold corridors.
• The project is immediately adjacent to Gold Candle's Kerr-Addison gold deposit, and the NI 43-101 report identifies multiple zones as a potential western extension of the Kerr horizon.
• Brownfield asset with a shaft to 698 metres, underground development and extensive historical drilling.
• Independent report concludes McGarry has potential for discovery and additional mineralization.
• Clear staged path toward a compliant mineral resource estimate.
• Additional upside through an untested district-scale geophysical target and tailings evaluation.

The technical report materially strengthens the case for McGarry as a high-quality gold project in one of Canada's premier gold districts and highlights a clear path toward validation, discovery, potential resource definition and growth.

McGarry project summary

The McGarry project is a past-producing gold property located approximately 10 km east of Larder Lake, Ont., within the Abitibi greenstone belt along the Larder Lake-Cadillac deformation zone (LLCDZ), one of Canada's most prolific gold-bearing structures. The property is immediately adjacent to the historic Kerr-Addison mine and benefits from a favourable geological setting long recognized as fertile for major gold systems.

A well-advanced asset with strong technical foundations

McGarry is a historically developed gold project with a substantial technical foundation built over decades of exploration and underground work.

The project hosts over 230,000 metres of drilling across more than 1,500 drill holes, supported by more than 86,000 assays, defining multiple zones of mineralization associated with major structural corridors along the LLCDZ, including the Armistice Fault.

Just as importantly, the National Instrument 43-101 report states that the geology on the eastern side of the McGarry property is very similar to the host rocks of the Kerr-Addison deposit.

The project also has significant infrastructure, including a shaft extending to approximately 698 metres, preserved core and underground development that could support future work aimed at confirming continuity and defining scale.

Partner Stardust Metal to advance McGarry toward a defined asset

With the completion of the NI 43-101, Orecap and Stardust executed a formal option agreement on April 24, 2026, with respect to McGarry on the same terms and conditions summarized below, and as disclosed in the Nov. 18, 2025, news release. This a non-arm's-length transaction under TSX-V policies and will be treated as a related party transaction for Orecap under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 -- Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions as certain directors and officers of Orecap are also directors, officers and/or shareholders of Stardust. In addition, Orecap holds approximately 13.9 per cent of the shares of Stardust. These directors and officers own, directly or indirectly, 4,901,000 Stardust shares.

Under the option agreement, Stardust can acquire up to 75 per cent of McGarry in two phases. In phase 1, Stardust earns a 50-per-cent interest over four years by financing $13-million in total commitments -- $500,000 in cash and $12.5-million in work obligations -- forming a 50/50 joint venture with Stardust as operator. In phase 2, Stardust may acquire an additional 25 per cent within two years via a $50-million cash payment to Orecap.

McGarry combines the advantages of a strategically located brownfield asset with the upside of a modern discovery and redevelopment story.

With strong geological links to Kerr-Addison, meaningful modern drill results, existing underground infrastructure and a clear technical road map toward resource definition, Orecap is confident that Stardust will transform McGarry into a compelling gold opportunity in one of Canada's most proven camps.
