July 13, 2026 – TheNewswire - Toronto, ON - Total Metals Corp. (“ Total Metals ” or the “ Company ”) ( TSX-V: TT ) ( OTCQB : TTTMF ) ( FSE : O4N ) is pleased to announce the results from the fifteen remaining unreleased drill-holes in its 8,408 metre, 25 hole winter drilling program at the Electrolode critical metals property , located in northwestern Ontario (the “ Project ”) completed in early 2026 . Detailed results for the first ten holes were previously released on June 22, 2026. The 3,300 hectare Electrolode property, located 69 km from Ear Falls, Ontario hosts the Arrow Zone with a NI 43-101 compliant current Inferred Mineral Resource 1 , with an effective date of June 1, 2025, containing 2.11 million tonnes averaging 0.66% Cu, 4.74% Zn, 17.92 g/t Ag and 0.66 g/t Au.

Ten other mineralized zones have been identified and explored on the property by previous operators including those in the Copperlode area 4.5 km southwest of Arrow. These were all systematically reviewed by Total Metals along with newly identified targets that together were ranked and selected for follow-up drill testing. The 2026 program has demonstrated that the Project has considerable potential remaining for increasing metal resources at the Arrow Zone as well as the Hornet Zone.

Also, the area under Garnet Lake has significant exploration potential and is considered a priority area for future programs.
