DINERO ANNOUNCES DRILLING ON HIGH GRADE REE PROPERTY

A drill program is under way at Dinero Ventures Ltd.'s 100-per-cent-owned Mt. Bisson REE (rare earth element) property, situated 65 kilometres (km) northwest of Mackenzie, B.C. The property consists of approximately 11,786 hectares (ha) in 15 claims that covers a three km by nine km magnetic area hosting REE minerals. Six REE mineralized localities (Kolbe, Laura, Bliss (Central), Will No. 1 and No. 2, and the M12000 Road occurrences) have been identified with the Kolbe and Central zone having the highest REE values.

Ed Kruchkowski, president of the company, states: "The Mt. Bisson project is an exciting property located in an area well accessed by a network of logging roads. The demand for rare earth metals has the potential to add great value for both the company and the shareholders given the opportunities on this property. The company is very excited to continue with a strategy for advancing the project."

There are 17 rare earth elements that are a well-defined group of chemically similar metals indispensable for modern technology and industry. The 15 lanthanides include lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, promethium, samarium, europium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium, thulium, ytterbium and lutetium. Scandium and yttrium are also included because they occur in the same ore deposits as the lanthanides and exhibit similar chemical behaviour.

These elements are often divided into light rare earth elements (LREEs) and heavy rare earth elements (HREEs) based on their atomic weights. LREEs generally include lanthanum through europium, while HREEs include gadolinium through lutetium, along with yttrium.

Rare earth elements are essential in a wide range of applications, including electronics, renewable energy technologies, magnets, lasers, glass and industrial catalysts. For example, neodymium and dysprosium are critical for high-strength magnets used in wind turbines and electric vehicles, while europium and terbium are used in display technologies. Their unique electronic structures, particularly the partially filled 4f orbitals of the lanthanides, give rise to extraordinary magnetic, optical and catalytic properties that distinguish them from other metals.

Rare earth elements (REEs) have a wide range of applications across various industries, including:

• Clean energy: used in wind turbines and electric vehicle batteries for renewable energy technologies;
• Electronics: essential for manufacturing smart phones, tablets and other high-end electronic devices;
• Defence: critical components in military technologies, including guidance systems and radar;
• Medical imaging: utilized in MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) machines and other medical imaging technologies;
• Industrial processes: employed in catalysts for petroleum refining and in glass and ceramics production.

The REEs are a specific subset of critical minerals known for their unique properties and applications in technology while the critical minerals are a broader category of minerals essential for economic and national security.

The mineral assemblage of the Mt. Bisson REE mineralization places it in the pegmatite system consisting of deep brown allanite, vesuvianite, scheelite, two varieties of epidote (pink and pistachio green), monazite, fluorapatite and sparse zircon. Elevated Y2O3 contents were also documented in several minerals.

During work by the property owners in 2025, the newly discovered Kolbe showing was located. Of the 13 samples collected from the zone, eight returned over the limit results in cerium (more than 10,000 parts per million (ppm)), lanthanum (more than 10,000 ppm), neodymium (more than 10,000 ppm), praseodymium (more than 1,000 ppm) and samarium (more than 1,000 ppm). Sample A25-88 gave 31 per cent TREE, with 10.66 per cent lanthanum, 16.0 per cent cesium, 1.33 per cent praseodymium, 3.49 per cent neodymium, 0.22 per cent samarium, 0.25 per cent europium, 1.61 per cent luetetium, 0.06 per cent ytterbium, 0.065 per cent gadolinium and 0.09 per cent dysprosium. Sample A25-84 gave 11.47 per cent TREE, with 3.27 per cent lanthanum, 5.23 per cent cesium, 0.55 per cent praseodymium, 0.188 per cent neodymium, 0.22 per cent samarium and 0.09 per cent dysprosium. Sample A25-86 gave 8.18 per cent TREE, with 3.02 per cent lanthanum, 3.96 per cent cesium, 0.33 per cent praseodymium, 0.188 per cent neodymium and 0.05 per cent samarium. Of the above eight samples, niobium values ranged from 0.005 to 0.22 per cent.

Note: The grab samples above were random in nature and do not necessarily represent the metal content in the located source. The company feels that the high metal content is highly encouraging and further investigation is warranted.

The company's QP (qualified person) supervised the 2025 exploration for the property owners and can verify the accuracy and validity of the sampling. The QP was in charge of the samples in the field and delivered them to the laboratory.

The company undertook X-ray powder diffraction analysis at UBC on four samples from the zone. These indicated the presence of allanite, a rare earth bearing silicate and monazite, a rare-earth-bearing phosphate.

All samples reported were prepared at MSA Labs' preparation laboratory in Terrace, B.C., and assayed at MSA Labs' geochemical laboratory in Langley, B.C. The laboratory used the lithium borate fusion and ICP-OES (inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry) finish method to analyze the samples. MSA Labs' quality system complies with the requirements for the international standards ISO 17025 and ISO 9001. MSA Labs is independent of the company.
