Tiderock launches Arcata Global Critical Minerals Platform with Arizona gold claim

Acquisition establishes a dedicated platform to assemble a diversified North American portfolio of gold, copper, rare earth element (REE), and critical mineral assets aligned with rising domestic demand for strategic materials. BOSTON, MA / ACCESS Newswire / June 4, 2026 / Tiderock Companies, Inc. (OTCID:TDRK) today announced the acquisition of a highly prospective Arizona lode gold claim through its majority-owned subsidiary, Arcata Global, marking the launch of the Company's strategic precious metals and critical minerals growth initiative. The acquisition represents the first step in a broader strategy focused on acquiring and developing undervalued gold, copper, rare earth element (REE), and strategic mineral assets across North America.

Through Arcata Global, the Company intends to build a diversified portfolio of resource opportunities aligned with growing domestic demand for the critical materials that underpin electrification, grid expansion, data-center and artificial-intelligence buildout, and advanced manufacturing - secular demand trends to which copper and rare earth elements are central - and that are increasingly tied to national supply-chain security. Management believes the newly acquired Arizona property offers an attractive combination of historical production, favorable geology, existing infrastructure, and exploration upside. Historical reports indicate approximately 150 tons of ore were previously mined, with reported grades averaging approximately 0.34 oz/ton gold (Au) and 0.5% copper (Cu).

Multi-commodity mineralization including gold, silver, and copper. Existing mining infrastructure and historical workings. Excellent year-round operating conditions and road accessibility.

Significant exploration upside supported by favorable geological structures and underexplored mineralized zones.
