CANADIAN SECURITIES EXCHANGE WELCOMES LISTING OF KARUS MINING INC

The Canadian Securities Exchange has welcomed the listing of Karus Mining Inc. The Vancouver-based company's common shares were listed on the CSE today under the symbol KARU.

Karus is a gold exploration company focused on advancing projects in two of British Columbia's most prospective regions. The company owns the South Cariboo gold district in central B.C., and the Mineral Creek gold project on Vancouver Island, located near Port Alberni. The company's 2026 exploration program at South Cariboo is under way, and it is currently incorporating historical geological information at Mineral Creek in preparation for drilling at that property later this year.

"We are very pleased that Karus, a long-established junior gold mining company, has chosen to list on the CSE to pursue its next stage of growth," said Stuart Schady, the CSE's vice-president, business development. "We wish the company success with the exploration programs at each of its properties."

"Listing on the CSE is a significant milestone for Karus, increasing our visibility and supporting our next phase of growth, as we commence our 2026 exploration program," said Andrew Kaip, interim chief executive officer. "With two district-scale gold projects in British Columbia, a strong technical foundation, and multiple opportunities for resource growth and new discoveries, Karus is well positioned to create long-term value."
