XXIX SHAREHOLDERS APPROVE ALL MATTERS AT ANNUAL GENERAL AND SPECIAL MEETING

Shareholders approved all matters put before them at XXIX Metal Corp.'s annual general and special meeting of shareholders held on July 28, 2026.

In addition to the elected board members, the company appointed Eric Desaulniers, MSc, PGeo, founder, president and chief executive officer of Nouveau Monde Graphite Inc., to its board of directors. Mr. Desaulniers discovered the Matawinie graphite deposit in Quebec and led Nouveau Monde's growth from exploration through construction of a vertically integrated graphite mining and battery materials business and brings extensive experience permitting and advancing mining projects in Quebec that the company intends to leverage as it advances its Quebec and Ontario copper assets.

"We appreciate the strong support of our shareholders at the meeting," said Guy Le Bel, chief executive officer of XXIX Metal. "With these approvals behind us and with Eric Desaulniers now on our board, we are well positioned to continue advancing our Opemiska and Thierry copper projects and building long-term value for our shareholders."

About XXIX Metal Corp.

XXIX is advancing its Opemiska and Thierry copper projects, two significant Canadian copper assets. The Opemiska project, one of Canada's highest-grade open-pittable copper deposits, spans 21,333 hectares in Quebec's Chapais-Chibougamau region, with strong infrastructure and nearby access to the Horne smelter. An October, 2025, preliminary economic assessment outlined a 12,500-tonne-per-day open-pit operation over a 17-year mine life, generating an after-tax net present value (discounted at 8 per cent) of $505-million, an internal rate of return of 27.2 per cent and a 2.3-year payback period (copper price of $4.35 per pound, gold price of $3,000 per ounce and silver price of $30 per ounce). The Thierry project hosts the K1 (near-surface) and the past-producing K2 (underground and surface) zones (see XXIX's news release dated Oct. 1, 2024, for details regarding resources). Thierry has significant infrastructure in place, including an all-season road, an airport within five kilometres, a provincial power grid within eight kilometres and nearby rail. With these two high-potential projects, the company has solidified its position as a key player in the Canadian copper sector and has established itself as one of Eastern Canada's largest copper developers. With demand for critical minerals continuing to accelerate, XXIX is uniquely positioned to capitalize on the North American copper opportunity. Investors are encouraged to follow the company's progress as it advances a portfolio of high-potential assets with the guidance of two of Canada's accomplished mine builders.
