Errington Metals expands land position in Sudbury Basin

Canada NewsWire THUNDER BAY, ON , July 7, 2026 /CNW/ - Errington Metals Corp. (TSXV: EM) ("Errington" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has signed a purchase and sale agreement to acquire certain unpatented mining claims (the "Property") to expand its land position in the world-class Sudbury Basin by approximately 48%, adding 2,727 hectares complementary to the Company's growing portfolio (the "Acquisition"). Highlights Acquisition adds 2,727 hectares in the Sudbury Basin, increasing total Company land holdings by approximately 48% Expansion strengthens Errington's district-scale position near established infrastructure and producing mines New claims provide additional exposure to prospective geological units associated with known sulphide mineralization in the region Agreement Terms: Total cash payments of $150,000 60,000 common shares  1.5% Net Smelter Royalty with 50% buy back option  "This acquisition reflects our opportunistic and disciplined approach to growing Errington's land position in the Sudbury Basin when we see ground that is strategically located and geologically compelling and at a very attractive valuation," said Matthew Gollat, President and CEO of Errington Metals. "However, while this acquisition meaningfully expands our regional footprint and gives us additional exposure to prospective targets, our primary focus remains firmly on advancing our current flagship property through systematic drilling, technical work, and the development of a clear path toward an initial mineral resource estimate." An illustrative 3D video highlighting the Property location is available at: https://vrify.com/meetings/recordings/7187be60-a02f-4e76-922f-e7745e7d3519 .   About the Property The claims to be acquired provide Errington with an expanded footprint over prospective geology within the Sudbury Igneous Complex, one of the world's premier mining districts.

The majority of the claims cover the upper portion of the Sudbury Igneous Complex (Granophyre Unit), with the producing Garson Ni-Cu-PGE Mine located approximately 5 kilometres to the south. The Property also covers portions of the lower Onaping Formation, the stratigraphic footwall rocks associated with the Company's other mineralized zones, consisting of volcanic and sedimentary rocks. Although bedrock exposure is limited across much of the Property, a powerline corridor traversing the claims has been previously mapped highlighting a volcanic sequence including volcanic ash units and coarse volcanic breccias.

Of particular interest, the fine-grained ash unit that forms the immediate footwall to the Vermilion and Errington massive sulphide occurrences is present immediately north of the Property. Stringer style mineralization is prevalent throughout footwall rocks. Elsewhere within the Sudbury Basin's North Range, particularly near Dowling, similar coarse breccia units host sulphide mineralization.

This disseminated style of mineralization may represent hydrothermal feeder systems capable of supporting nearby massive sulphide mineralization. The widespread occurrence of this style of mineralization suggests massive sulphides may have formed elsewhere in the Sudbury Basin. As consideration for the Property, the Company has agreed to pay to the vendors in the aggregate, (i) $150,000 in cash; (ii) 60,000 common shares of the Company (the "Consideration Shares") and (iii) the grant of a 1.5% net smelter returns royalty on the Property, with the Company having a right reduce the royalty to a 0.75% net smelter returns royalty by paying $750,000.     The Consideration Shares will be subject to four-month hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws. The completion of the Acquisition is subject to certain customary conditions, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
