WALLBRIDGE MINING ACHIEVES ECOLOGO® CERTIFICATION FOR RESPONSIBLE DEVELOPMENT FOR MINERAL EXPLORATION

Wallbridge Mining Company Ltd. has achieved the UL 2723 ECOLOGO certification for mineral exploration companies -- a significant milestone that reaffirms the company's continuing commitment to responsible mineral exploration practices.

This industry-recognized certification, issued by UL Solutions, is awarded to companies that meet rigorous environmental, social and economic performance criteria. It underscores Wallbridge's dedication to sustainable practices and corporate accountability throughout all stages of its mineral exploration and development activities.

Meeting the highest standards

To achieve ECOLOGO certification, Wallbridge has demonstrated leadership and responsible practices in six key areas:

• Environmental impact;
• Worker and community health and safety;
• Community well-being and cultural heritage;
• Fair and ethical business practices;
• Compliance with legal and regulatory frameworks;
• Resource efficiency and financial stewardship.

The certification process included third party auditing, verification of the company's management systems and registration in UL SPOT sustainable product database, allowing stakeholders and partners to verify the company's certification and sustainability profile.

A trusted symbol of responsibility

Recognized by procurement organizations, environmentally responsible businesses and government agencies across North America, the ECOLOGO mark is a trusted symbol of environmental leadership and social responsibility. It signals to the company's partners, investors and the communities where the company operates that Wallbridge is meeting -- and often exceeding -- the industry's highest sustainability standards.

Looking ahead: a plan for responsible growth

The responsible development of mineral resources is essential for the future of the company's industry and the well-being of the communities the company serves. ECOLOGO certification not only reinforces the company's current practices but also strengthens its ability to:

• Foster a safe, positive and inclusive work environment;
• Attract and retain top talent;
• Support transparent and ethical governance;
• Enhance stakeholder trust and social licence to operate;
• Prepare for future regulatory changes and ESG (environmental, social and governance) requirements.

A collective achievement

The company would like to extend its sincere thanks to the Quebec Mineral Exploration Association (QMEA) and its coaching program for their invaluable support throughout this journey. Their guidance and partnership were instrumental in helping the company reach this achievement.

Wallbridge remains committed to continuous improvement and to setting the standard for responsible mineral exploration in Canada and beyond.
