INTEGRAL METALS PROVIDES 2025 YEAR-IN-REVIEW AND OUTLINES 2026 EXPLORATION PLANS

Integral Metals Corp. has provided a year-in-review summary of exploration activities completed in 2025, along with an outlook on planned technical work and exploration priorities for 2026. In 2025, Integral focused on advancing its understanding of its flagship Kap project in the Northwest Territories while continuing to evaluate its broader portfolio of rare earth element (REE) exploration assets in Manitoba and Montana.

"In 2025, we methodically advanced our understanding of our Kap project and positioned the project for further technical progress. In 2026, our priority is derisking through focused studies and targeted work programs while maintaining a disciplined approach across our broader portfolio," said Paul Sparkes, chief executive officer of Integral Metals.

The Kap project

Exploration activities in 2025 were primarily directed toward advancing the geological understanding of the Kap project, which hosts zinc-, gallium- and germanium-bearing mineralization associated with a Mississippi Valley-type (MVT) and/or carbonate replacement deposit (CRD) system. Work completed during the year built on prior drilling and surface programs, with an emphasis on strengthening the project's technical foundation and informing future exploration strategies. The 2025 program focused on geological interpretation, integration of drilling results into the project database, and continued refinement of the evolving geological model to improve confidence in the distribution and controls of mineralization across the property.

In 2026, the company anticipates a technically focused program at Kap aimed at further derisking the project and advancing it toward the next stage of evaluation. Planned work under consideration includes detailed mineralogical and metallurgical studies on drill samples collected during previous programs, reassaying select historical drill core from the 1970s to modern analytical standards for inclusion in the project database, and continued refinement of the geological model. In addition, the company is evaluating a return to the field for further soil sampling and potential drill expansion to test priority target areas identified through integrated interpretation.

The Burntwood project

The Burntwood project remained under technical review in 2025, following completion of ground-based geochemical and geophysical surveys in 2024 that identified areas of interest warranting further evaluation. The company is assessing the merits of a small-scale drill program in 2026 to test discrete anomalies outlined by the previous survey results. Any such program would be designed to provide an initial subsurface evaluation of these targets and to determine whether further exploration is warranted.

Woods Creek project

The company also continued to review historical data and prior surface results from the Woods Creek project in Montana while assessing the most effective next steps for advancing exploration. Integral is considering additional surface-based work in 2026 to better delineate carbonatite dikes across the property. Potential work includes expanded geological mapping and sampling, complemented by a UAV-based (unmanned aerial vehicle) magnetic survey to assist in identifying additional prospective structures and refining target areas.
