SCANDIUM CANADA PROVIDES ACTIVITIES UPDATE ON ALLOY COMMERCIALIZATION, CRATER LAKE DRILLING, AND RECORD Q3 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Scandium Canada Ltd. has provided an update on the qualification and commercialization of its proprietary aluminum-scandium (Al-Sc) alloys, on the 2026 field program at its Crater Lake scandium project in Nunavik, Que., and on the filing of its financial report for the third quarter ended May 31, 2026.

Promising preliminary results from SC7075 wire trials and advancing commercial discussions

The company's alloy strategy advanced on four fronts this quarter: promising preliminary results from its SC7075 Al-Sc welding wire, a widening set of commercial opportunities with Granges Powder Metallurgy, advancing commercialization discussions with Alpomet on welding wire applications and the successful acquisition of its new subsidiary, Scalium+ Inc. (formerly Ferreol Technologies).

Wire samples of the company's patent-pending modified SC7075 alloy have been shipped to a collaborator for wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) trials. Preliminary results are promising as the wire demonstrated the ability to produce structures comparably to a commercial wire without scandium; work now focuses on optimizing deposition parameters. This application alone could generate demand of up to 30 tonnes per year of scandium oxide, a market segment that does not currently exist. Rods of the company's SC535 alloy also show promise in high-temperature applications.

Work under the memorandum of understanding with Granges Powder Metallurgy is expanding, now covering powders and plates, with a number of commercial opportunities identified, notably in energy and in defence with European OEMs (original equipment manufacturers).

Discussions with Alpomet on welding wire applications are actively advancing. While no binding agreement is in place, the signal is clear that industrial users want qualified, weldable, high-strength aluminum wire.

On June 29, 2026, the company closed the acquisition of Ferreol Technologies, now Scalium+, its wholly owned alloy commercialization subsidiary (see news release dated June 29, 2026). Scalium+ brings an established Quebec City commercial team, active alloy clients and a proven production workflow, and consolidates the commercialization of the company's Al-Sc alloys and of the Scalium line. One Scalium alloy is already commercialized and, based on internal testing under controlled conditions, some Scalium alloys demonstrated strength results up to 45 per cent higher than typical AA7075 aerospace aluminum. Integration is under way across commercial, production and administrative functions.

Luc Duchesne, PhD, chief science officer of Scalium+, commented: "Our preliminary results are promising: We have demonstrated that we can produce structures by WAAM with our SC7075 wire. Next, we aim to optimize deposition parameters with our collaborator, while our work with Granges and our discussions with Alpomet continue to identify prototyping opportunities. As well, our consolidation of alloys with Scalium+ permits a larger offering of 7,000-series aluminum-scandium material (sheets, plates, billets) to our existing products (powders, wires and rods) to potential end users."

"Two weeks in, the priority is simple: Keep serving our existing alloy clients while opening the order book to the alloys developed by Scandium Canada. A commercial team, a production workflow and a proprietary alloy portfolio shorten the distance between the laboratory and a purchase order," commented Felix Lapointe, chief executive officer of Scalium+.

Filing of Q3 (third quarter) report: $15.2-million in working capital, the strongest balance sheet in the company's history

The company also announces the filing of its interim financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for the three-month and nine-month periods ended May 31, 2026, available on SEDAR+ and on the company's website.

As of May 31, 2026:

• Cash of $11.6-million, a 29-fold increase from $400,000 at Aug. 31, 2025;
• Working capital of $15.2-million, a $16.6-million swing from negative working capital at Aug. 31, 2025;
• Total assets of $31.9-million and total equity of $30.2-million, both more than double their Aug. 31, 2025, levels;
• Total liabilities reduced to $1.6-million, with all unsecured loans repaid in full.

The expansion was financed by equity while debt was retired: Financing activities generated $18.6-million over nine months, net of issuance costs, anchored by the $17.25-million bought deal completed in March, 2026, which included the full exercise of the overallotment option. Between Sept. 1, 2025, and July 14, 2026, holders exercised a further 46.7 million warrants and 1.5 million stock options for gross proceeds of $2.96-million. An additional $1.5-million in government grants was receivable at the quarter-end.

As stated in the MD&A, management believes that the funds currently available to the company are sufficient to meet its obligations, budgeted expenditures and commitments for at least the next 12 months.

Guy Bourassa, CEO of Scandium Canada, commented: "At the midpoint of the field season, the company is executing the plan presented to shareholders in April: The drill is turning at Crater Lake, our SC7075 wire is showing promising results for structures produced by WAAM and our newly acquired Scalium+ subsidiary gives us a commercial team selling alloys today. With $11.6-million in cash and the strongest balance sheet in our history, we are funded for the catalysts ahead. The future is very exciting for Scandium Canada."

Crater Lake: 2026 drilling campaign on schedule

The 2026 diamond drilling campaign announced on June 11, 2026, is advancing on schedule under the management of Laurentia Exploration.

The program is primarily dedicated to collecting a representative metallurgical bulk sample of eight to 10 tonnes throughout the defined resource, the key input for the metallurgical testwork supporting the future feasibility study. A more comprehensive update on the campaign, including the bulk sample program, will be provided in the coming weeks.

In parallel, WSP's environmental assessment work is proceeding on schedule, with field teams on site conducting fauna and flora inventories, fish habitat surveys, and hydrogeological and geochemical studies in support of the prefeasibility study.

Field operations have been conducted without any reported injuries or operational incidents.
