MINK VENTURES CORPORATION OPTIONS RANKIN CRITICAL MINERALS PROJECT, TIMMINS

Mink Ventures Corp. has optioned the Rankin critical minerals project from 2681891 Ontario Inc. The Rankin property comprises four cell claim units covering approximately 86 hectares spanning both Massey and Turnbull townships. The Rankin property is located west of Timmins, Ont., approximately 6.5 kilometres to the northeast of Mink's Warren property within the Kam Kotia gabbro complex which is highly prospective for Ni (nickel), Cu (copper), Co (cobalt).

The Rankin property hosts two high-priority VTEM Maxwell Plate targets associated with a coincident gravity high. These conductive anomalies warrant drill testing for potential Ni, Cu, Co mineralization. The property is drill ready and permitted. Recent work by Mink on similar targets at Warren has shown that targeting of VTEM Maxwell Plates can be an effective technique for evaluating sulphide bearing conductors that have the potential to host nickel copper cobalt mineralization.

Access to the Rankin property is excellent with easy summer and winter access along an established logging road. It is anticipated that the Rankin property anomalies will be drill tested in April of 2027 after completion of Mink's drill programs at its Montcalm property and the completion of the phase 3 drilling at its Warren property.

The company may acquire a 100-per-cent interest in the Rankin claims by making the cash payments and share issuances to the optionor detailed in the attached table, and by granting the optionor a 2-per-cent NSR (net smelter returns) with respect to the claims, with Mink retaining the right to buy back 1 per cent of the NSR for $1-million.
