NAUGHTY VENTURES SECURES STRATEGIC LAND POSITION FOR NATURAL HYDROGEN AND HELIUM EXPLORATION IN NORTHWESTERN ONTARIO

Naughty Ventures Corp. has staked the Little Gull H2 project, a significant land position targeting natural hydrogen and helium potential in and around the highly prospective Seagull complex.

The project encompasses 286 mining cells totalling 4,576 hectares, located approximately 100 kilometres east-northeast of Thunder Bay, Ont. The acquisition positions Naughty Ventures at the forefront of an emerging energy frontier in the Mid-Continent Rift.

Strategic geological positioning

The Little Gull H2 project was specifically staked to cover the ultramafic rocks of the Seagull pluton, including critical fault and fracture zones that interact with the regional plutonic architecture. Leveraging advanced geophysical data, the company has also targeted magnetic features that suggest the presence of "blind" ultramafic rocks beneath the surface cover.

The geological setting is ideal for the generation and entrapment of high-value gases:

• Natural hydrogen (H2) -- formed through the serpentinization (chemical alteration) of ultramafic rocks;

• Helium (He) -- produced as a byproduct of the radioactive decay of uranium, which is ubiquitous within the underlying Archean Quetico subprovince.

Emerging district activity and historic precedent

The Little Gull project area is gaining significant industry attention following recent operational milestones in the immediate vicinity:

• Recent gas encounter -- On Jan. 27, 2026, Anteros Metals Corp. reported an intersection of gas at a depth of 877 metres during drilling operations. Specialized sampling is currently under way to determine the composition and volume of the discovery.

• Historic confirmation -- In 2001, historic drill hole WM01-08-located within the Seagull complex near the current Anteros site-intersected an unidentified high-pressure, flammable gas in a fracture zone at 850 metres.

• Spectral evidence -- Satellite spectral imagery conducted in October, 2024, identified prospective signatures for both hydrogen and helium across the 64-square-kilometre Seagull pluton, suggesting active gas seepage and a robust "gas trap" environment.

Results obtained from separate properties are not necessarily indicative of results on adjacent or nearby properties.

Qualified person

Blair Naughty, chief executive officer of Naughty Ventures, commented:

"We are pleased to acquire this new Natural Hydrogen exploration property through low-cost staking. We believe this will be an exciting new addition to our existing natural hydrogen portfolio of investments. This acquisition increases Naughty Ventures exposure to the Natural hydrogen space while we continue to focus on advancing our other projects and pursuing additional strategic transactions.

"The convergence of historic flammable gas hits, recent drilling success by our neighbors, and the historical spectral analysis makes the Little Gull H2 project a high conviction play. As the world looks toward decarbonization, finding primary sources of natural hydrogen and helium is more critical than ever."
