North Arrow uplists to OTCQB Venture Market

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 13, 2026) - North Arrow Minerals Inc. (TSXV: NAR) (OTCQB: NHAWF) ( " North Arrow " or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company's stock has commenced trading on the OTCQB Venture Market (" OTCQB ") effective today, July 13, 2026. The Company's trading symbol remains NHAWF, unchanged from the OTCID Market. The uplisting is a meaningful step in North Arrow's broader capital markets strategy and improves the Company's access to U.S. investors as it advances exploration at the Kraaipan Gold Project, located in southern Botswana.

The OTCQB was established in 2010 by the OTC Markets Group to serve as a transparent, regulated tier for early-stage and developing U.S. and international companies, including those in the mining and natural resources sectors. Companies listed on the OTCQB are current in their reporting and undergo an annual verification and management certification process. Investors can find real-time quotes and market information for the Company on www.otcmarkets.com .

With the move to the OTCQB, North Arrow has also gained full-service Depository Trust Company ("DTC") eligibility, which enables NHAWF securities to be deposited at DTC and transferred electronically between U.S. brokerage accounts. While the Canadian Depository for Securities (CDS) handles securities in Canada, DTC operates within the U.S. system, and the two work together to support cross-border trading. DTC eligibility simplifies trading and settlement for U.S. Investors, reducing cost and friction when buying and selling the Company's shares.
