INTEGRAL METALS ANNOUNCES PLANNED 2026 DRILL PROGRAM AT THE KAP PROJECT, NORTHWEST TERRITORIES

Integral Metals Corp. intends to carry out a diamond drilling program at its KAP project, which is interpreted as a Mississippi Valley-type and/or carbonate replacement deposit system in the Mackenzie Mountains of the Northwest Territories. The drill program will focus on further evaluating the potential for zinc-gallium-germanium mineralization at the project, with holes designed to test the continuity, geometry and potential extensions of mineralized zones identified through historical exploration and Integral's 2025 field program. The work is expected to support continued refinement of the geological model and advance the project for future exploration.

"The KAP project remains a compelling critical minerals opportunity, with zinc mineralization associated with gallium and germanium, two metals important to advanced technologies and supply chain security," said Paul Sparkes, chief executive officer of Integral Metals. "Following last year's program and a recent technical review, we believe the next step is to advance KAP through additional drilling focused on improving our understanding of mineralized continuity, geometry and scale."

Integral's 2025 drill program confirmed mineralization at the Main zone and provided important information regarding the geological controls, orientation and distribution of mineralized horizons (please see news release dated Dec. 4, 2025). The coming program is expected to build on that work by testing areas where additional drilling may help demonstrate continuity between historical and recent intercepts, evaluate potential extensions of the mineralized system, and support future technical studies. The program remains subject to contractor availability, financing, logistics, weather and other operational factors. Further details regarding program will be announced as they are finalized.
