GREEN BRIDGE METALS TO SHIP TITAC DRILL CORE FOR METALLURGICAL TESTING TO EVALUATE TITANIUM DIOXIDE EXTRACTION POTENTIAL

Green Bridge Metals Corp. plans to ship selected diamond drill core from its Titac project in Minnesota to a Canadian laboratory to conduct metallurgical testing focused on evaluating potential extraction pathways for titanium dioxide from ilmenite mineralization using the chloride process.

The company is currently conducting a diamond drilling program at the Titac deposit designed to test copper mineralization associated with oxide ultramafic intrusions within the South Contact district of the Duluth complex. While drill testing for copper, the company will also utilize recovered drill core to advance its understanding of the metallurgical characteristics of ilmenite-hosted titanium mineralization present at the Titac.

The Titac deposit forms part of the company's broader South Contact district property package, which hosts mineralization containing copper, nickel, titanium, vanadium and other critical minerals within Minnesota's Duluth complex. Please see the company's technical report dated Sept. 18, 2024, a copy of which may be obtained under the company's profile at SEDAR+, for more information. The company notes that the Titac deposit includes inferred mineral resources.

Inferred mineral resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined economically. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of the inferred mineral resources will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Importance of the metallurgical program

Evaluating titanium extraction potential

The Titac deposit is hosted in an oxide ultramafic intrusion, which contains an average grade of 15 per cent TiO2 and low-grade (0.3 to 0.4 per cent) copper over long intervals making the deposit appealing as a multicommodity asset. However, a critical component of the value at Titac is the understanding how the metals can be extracted from the host rock. Metallurgical testing is expected to provide important data regarding the recoverability of TiO2 from ilmenite mineralization at Titac, representing a key step in evaluating the potential economic viability of the deposit.

Advancing a multicommodity development concept

Titac hosts both titanium dioxide and copper mineralization. Understanding the processing characteristics of titanium-bearing material while drilling for copper may help define opportunities for potential co-product value.

Supporting future technical studies

Metallurgical results are expected to provide important inputs for future resource evaluation and engineering studies as the company advances technical work across the South Contact district.

Investor relations renewal

The company also announces, further to its news release dated Jan. 13, 2026, that it has renewed, with immediate effect, the term of its engagement of MCS Market Communication Service GmbH for the continued provision of a range of on-line marketing services, including campaign creation and production of marketing materials, as well as research and analytics. The services are expected to run until June 1, 2026, or budget exhaustion. The company has paid MCS 372,000 euros for the renewed term (for aggregate compensation, including the last term, of 744,000 euros (equivalent to approximately $1,179,240, based on the Bank of Canada exchange rate posted today)). Compensation for the services is fixed and not tied to market performance, and no securities have been provided to MCS or its principals as compensation. The services will be executed through digital channels, including Google ads and native advertising.
