About Eastport Critical Metals Corp.

Eastport is a critical mineral development company advancing five projects in Botswana, with cumulative historical and current expenditures approaching $20-million. The company's most advanced asset is the Matsitama copper project, which hosts multiple sizable targets across the Matsitama copper district.

The company's additional projects include Selebi East, a nickel-copper-cobalt project located seven kilometres east of the historic Selebi mines; the Semarule rare earth element project, positioned within the Gaborone-Molepolole corridor; the Foley uranium project, adjoining the Letlhakane uranium deposit; and the Keng project, which targets nickel, copper and platinum group elements on the northern margin of the Molopo farms complex.

Botswana is widely regarded as one of Africa's strongest mining jurisdictions, combining the continent's highest gross domestic product per capita with a 50-year record of large-scale mineral development since the Orapa diamond discovery in 1967. The country ranks among the top performers globally on the Fraser Institute's Investment Attractiveness Index and is the highest-rated jurisdiction in Africa on the Policy Perception Index. These rankings reflect Botswana's stable regulatory environment, consistent rule of law and long-standing support for responsible mineral development -- factors that have underpinned significant investment and major merger-and-acquisition activity in the natural resource sector in recent years.
