STEADRIGHT ANNOUNCES ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEMBER AND GRANTS OPTIONS / UPDATE ON COPPER VALLEY

Tyler Burpee has joined Steadright Critical Minerals Inc.'s advisory committee. The company has provided an update on the Copper Valley acquisition through NSM Capital Sarl in Morocco.

Advisory committee appointment

The board of Steadright is pleased to have Mr. Burpee join its advisory committee. He is chief executive officer of Catalyst Mines Inc., a private company that is advancing the Amasine cobalt-nickel-chromium project in Morocco's Siroua massif.

Mr. Burpee is also principal of Fallon Capital Inc., a Canadian capital markets advisory firm focused on junior mining and critical minerals. He brings deep experience in resource deal origination, flow-through financing, and cross-jurisdictional project development spanning Canada, Brazil, South Africa and the United States.

Copper Valley

As outlined in the Jan. 8, 2026, news release, Steadright entered into a mineral claim purchase agreement with EMTF in Morocco for exploration permit No. 3842143, covering a historical copper-lead-silver project known as Copper Valley. The project has been incorporated within NSM Capital, with Steadright Critical Minerals owning 75 per cent of the shares with an option to own up to 80 per cent. Critical Foundation Metals Inc. is a 25-per-cent shareholder of NSM Capital. The Canadian Securities Exchange has determined that the Copper Valley project does not appear to constitute a major acquisition as defined by the CSE, and the agreement for four million shares of Steadright Critical Minerals to EMTF and one million shares to Critical Foundation Metals is now being transacted.

The Copper Valley project lies within a mining-friendly jurisdiction, with Morocco open for business for responsible mineral development. The area benefits from existing roadway access that enables the cost-effective mobilization of crews and equipment, significantly reducing the need for new road construction. This existing infrastructure, coupled with proximity to services and supportive local communities, provides a practical foundation for efficient exploration.

Options granted and cancelled

The board of directors approved and authorized the granting of 1,675,000 stock options to certain consultants and service providers under the company's stock option plan and cancelled 420,000 options of former officers.

Each option shall be granted in accordance with the terms of the company's stock option plan, as amended, with an exercise price set of 25 cents for five years ending on April 15, 2031, and is subject to all required regulatory approvals.

Steadright chief executive officer Matt Lewis states: "Steadright is quite happy that Tyler Burpee is joining our advisory committee. Tyler is a very skilled and thoughtful mining player who has spent years getting things accomplished in Morocco. Steadright had a very deep bench in both Canada and Morocco to draw from, but it now is even stronger."
