Lancaster Resources updates Lake Cargelligo exploration program

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 7, 2026) - Lancaster Resources Inc. (CSE: LCR) (OTC Pink: LANRF) (FSE: 6UF0) (" Lancaster " or the " Company "), as previously announced, has completed the additional land acquisition at Lake Cargelligo. The Exploration Licence, EL9880, added an additional ~33,400ha of land base immediately adjacent to the original Lake Cargelligo property. The total combined claims are ~62,300ha. 2026 Exploration Program Update Lancaster is also continuing to advance exploration at both the Lake Cargelligo Gold & Silver project in Australia and the Lac Iris polymetallic project in Quebec.

Since acquiring the Lake Cargelligo project in 2025, Lancaster has rapidly advanced its geological understanding through technical studies, field reconnaissance, geochemical sampling, property expansion, and geophysical targeting initiatives. The Project has evolved from an initial 28,768-hectare Exploration License in spring 2025 into a district-scale land package covering approximately 62,300 hectares, positioning Lancaster to explore multiple gold-silver (Au-Ag) systems across a large and underexplored mineralized corridor. With historical rock chips showing grades of up to 204 g/t Au and 273 g/t Ag [1] and recent Lancaster assays up to 31.5 g/t Au and 114 g/t Ag [2] , the opportunity for Lancaster to identify a district-scale Au-Ag discovery in one of Australia's premier mining jurisdictions is significant.

Approximately 75 km of prospective granite-sedimentary contact occurs within Lancaster's tenure with much of this zone unexplored due to widespread but thin sand cover. Work completed by Lancaster to date has allowed the Company to create a comprehensive exploration program that includes significant geophysical surveying and additional mapping and sampling to identify priority targets for high-impact drilling. Of highest priority to advance drill targeting, Lancaster has designed an induced polarization (IP) survey over the Greater Josephine Moulder prospect.

This area, which covers >500 ha including >3 km of prospective granite-sedimentary contact including the 400m long Josephine Moulder vein-breccia outcrop, will include three gradient array IP grids (GAIP) and a minimum of five pole-dipole IP (PDIP) section lines. IP surveying will measure bedrock conductivity, resistivity, and chargeability over the survey area aiming to identify the presence of sulfide accumulations and/or quartz veining in the near surface to approximately 300-400m depth. Should such features be identified, they would rank as high-priority drill targets.

In addition to IP surveying, the Company is reviewing options to acquire high-resolution magnetic data that will aid structural interpretation and assist drill targeting by identifying zones of hydrothermal alteration. Magnetic surveying could include high-resolution airborne magnetics-radiometrics over a large portion of the Project hosting the c. 75km of prospective granite-sedimentary strike. Alternatively, ultra high-resolution drone magnetics may be undertaken over the Greater Josephine Moulder and Greater Avoca prospects.

While airborne magnetics-radiometrics would allow exploration to advance over much larger areas of the Project, the ultra high-resolution drone magnetic option would result in a quality dataset to expedite initial drilling by Lancaster at its priority prospects. Drone magnetics over both the Greater Josephine Moulder and Greater Avoca prospects would, collectively, cover >4,000ha and allow drill targeting over >12km of highly prospective granite-sedimentary strike. Additional campaigns of geological mapping and sampling are planned by Lancaster over newly identified prospects resulting from the 2025 work programs.

This work is planned to occur in parallel with IP and magnetic surveying and progression of drill approvals. Lancaster looks forward to its initial drill campaign at Lake Cargelligo and anticipates this will include follow up drilling of historical results at Josephine Moulder and first pass tests of new targets that are expected to be defined by the Company's proposed geophysical surveying.

The Company has received subscription agreements and subscription funds for an initial tranche of the private placement. While financing conditions for junior resource issuers remain challenging, the Company remains optimistic about closing the private placement. The Company expects financial and audit work to be completed in mid July.

Effective June 22, 2026, Mr. Rob Heaslop has resigned from the Company's Board of Directors. The Company thanks Mr. Heaslop for his efforts in supporting and guiding Lancaster. The Company has also decided not to continue exploration at the Catley Lake and Centennial East Uranium assets in the Athabasca Basin.

These mineral claims have been relinquished back to the Province of Saskatchewan. No further costs or exploration are expected. This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities in the United States.
