KIRKSTONE METALS GRANTS STOCK OPTIONS

Kirkstone Metals Corp. has cancelled the options granted on Jan. 13, 2026, and is granting an aggregate of 1.2 million stock options at $2.52 per option share, based on the closing price of $2.96 less a 15-per-cent allowable discount to directors, officers and consultants.

The company's shareholders ratified and approved all resolutions presented at the company's recently held annual general meeting, including the approval of the company's new omnibus equity incentive plan to replace the company's existing stock option plan. The incentive plan continues to limit the number of outstanding incentive securities to 10 per cent of the issued and outstanding common shares of the company at any given time but provides for the grant of other types of incentive securities such as restricted share units, deferred share units and stock options.

The company's shareholders fixed the number of directors at four, elected all directors standing for election for the ensuing year and approved the reappointment of the company's auditor.
