ARBOR METALS COMPLETES PROSPECTING PROGRAM AT ERNST RARE EARTH ELEMENTS PROJECT IN NORTHERN QUEBEC

Arbor Metals Corp. has completed its inaugural prospecting program at its wholly owned Ernst rare earth element project in Northern Quebec.

The field program focused on examining the property's principal showing and identifying additional prospective targets using radiometric surveying. The exploration crew evaluated the principal showing and used radiometric measurements to identify areas of interest for further investigation.

In total, eight grab samples were collected, and 10 backpack drill holes were completed for a combined drilling length of 4.32 metres. The program was designed to provide geological and geochemical information to assist Arbor in evaluating the property and prioritizing potential follow-up exploration.

Samples collected during the program will be submitted to ALS Laboratories for analysis using the ME-MS71L method, a supertrace ammonium bifluoride (NH4HF2) digestion method with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) determination. The company will assess the analytical results when available to help determine the next steps for the Ernst project.

As previously disclosed, prospecting conducted by Golden Goliath Resources in 2023 identified nine additional radioactive anomalies on the property. The company's current program included examination of the principal showing, which was not examined in detail during that earlier work. Radiometric responses can help identify exploration targets but do not, by themselves, establish rare earth element grades or economic potential.

Francis R. Newton, PGeo (OGQ No. 2129), a consultant to Arbor and a qualified person under National Instrument 43-101 (Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects), has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information in this release.

Management commentary

"We are pleased to have completed our first prospecting program at Ernst and to have examined the principal showing while identifying additional areas of interest through radiometric surveying," said Mark Ferguson, president and chief executive officer of Arbor Metals. "The samples collected during the program will provide us with additional information as we evaluate the project's rare earth element potential and consider future exploration priorities."

Environmental stewardship

Arbor Metals remains committed to conducting its exploration activities in a safe, responsible and environmentally sustainable manner. The company intends to work with local stakeholders and indigenous communities and to follow applicable regulatory requirements and industry practices designed to minimize environmental impacts.
