RZOLV TECHNOLOGIES ENGAGES SAN DIEGO TORREY HILLS CAPITAL FOR INVESTOR RELATIONS

Rzolv Technologies Inc. has entered into a one-year investor relations agreement, effective Feb. 24, 2026, with San Diego Torrey Hills Capital (SDTHC), a United States-based investor relations and corporate communications firm.

Under the terms of the agreement, the company will pay SDTHC a monthly cash fee of $4,000 (U.S.) and grant 100,000 incentive stock options exercisable at 50 cents for a period of three years from the date of grant. The options will vest as follows: (i) 25 per cent on the three-month anniversary of the grant date; (ii) 25 per cent on the six-month anniversary; (iii) 25 per cent on the nine-month anniversary; and (iv) 25 per cent on the 12-month anniversary. The options will be granted in accordance with the company's equity incentive plan and are subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The engagement of SDTHC is intended to support Rzolv's expanding U.S. capital markets presence following its recent OTCQB listing. SDTHC will assist the company in strengthening investor awareness, coordinating non-deal road shows, facilitating institutional outreach and enhancing communications across North American markets. SDTHC is at arm's length to the company and, to the company's knowledge, does not hold any securities of Rzolv as of the date of this release.

San Diego Torrey Hills Capital was formed in 1998 and is headquartered in Rancho Santa Fe, Calif. The firm provides investor relations, corporate communications, market visibility strategies and U.S. capital markets advisory services to emerging growth companies listed in Canada and the United States.

CEO commentary

Duane Nelson, president and chief executive officer of Rzolv Technologies, commented: "As we continue to advance Rzolv through commercialization and broaden our capital markets footprint, expanding our U.S. investor engagement is a strategic priority. San Diego Torrey Hills Capital brings decades of experience supporting cross-border issuers and emerging growth companies in the U.S. markets.

"Our recent OTCQB listing positions Rzolv to access a significantly larger pool of institutional and retail investors, and this engagement is designed to ensure our story is communicated clearly, consistently and professionally as we scale. We believe that enhanced visibility in the U.S. market will support liquidity, shareholder diversification and long-term value creation as we progress our non-cyanide gold extraction platform toward broader industry adoption."

Rzolv Technologies is pleased to announce that it will be exhibiting at the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) 2026 convention, held at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre in Toronto, Ont., from March 1 to March 4, 2026. Shareholders, mining professionals and prospective partners are invited to visit booth No. 2748 to meet with management and learn more about Rzolv's proprietary non-cyanide gold recovery platform (Rzolv) and its potential to support lower-impact gold processing across cyanide-restricted or technically challenging applications.

About Rzolv Technologies Inc.

Rzolv Technologies is a clean-technology company developing innovative, non-cyanide hydrometallurgical solutions designed to address structural inefficiencies, regulatory complexity, and permitting challenges in modern gold extraction and mine-site remediation.

The company's flagship technology, Rzolv, is a proprietary water-based reagent system intended to recover gold from ores, concentrates, tailings and secondary materials in applications where conventional cyanide chemistry is technically ineffective, increasingly restricted or subject to heightened permitting complexity.

While cyanide has been the dominant gold lixiviant for more than a century, and remains widely used across the industry, evolving regulatory frameworks, extended permitting timelines, stricter environmental standards and growing ESG (environmental, social and governance) scrutiny have created operational and approval challenges in certain jurisdictions and deposit types. In some regions, cyanide use faces partial or full prohibitions, while in others it requires enhanced containment, detoxification, transport and monitoring protocols that can materially impact project economics and development schedules.

Rzolv is designed as a lower-toxicity alternative with the potential to deliver comparable recovery performance and economic outcomes. The technology aims to expand the addressable gold market by enabling extraction in environments where cyanide use presents technical, environmental or permitting constraints.

We seek Safe Harbor.
