GT Resources secures 10-year Class III permit for Canalask

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - July 27, 2026) - GT Resources Inc. (TSXV: GT) (OTCQB: CGTRF) (FSE: 7N1) the ("Company" or "GT") is pleased to announce it has received a Class III Exploration Permit, which is valid for 10-years, for the road accessible Canalask Copper - Nickel Project in the Yukon (the " Property " or " Canalask ") (Figure 1). In 2024, the Company undertook a drill program at Canalask which returned 1.95% nickel , 0.05% copper, 0.03% cobalt 0.19 g/t gold, and 0.44 g/t palladium over 33.5 meters near surface in Hole CSK24-05 in the Footwall Zone (see news release: November 4, 2024 ). This drill program was undertaken via a Class I Exploration Permit which restricted activities and access.

This new Class III Exploration Permit is valid for 10 years and expands activities that can be undertaken, crucially allowing for the construction of new trails that will provide access for additional drilling. GT applied for this permit in January 2023 and would like to thank all those who have worked diligently with the Company to bring it to fruition. The Canalask Project is located in the Whitehorse Mining District, approximately 320 km west of Whitehorse and is road accessible from the Alaska Highway near Beaver Creek, Yukon.

The Property hosts the "White River Intrusive Complex" ("WRIC") which in turn forms part of the Kluane Mafic-Ultramafic Belt which includes nickel - copper deposits such as Nickel Shaw, owned by Nickel Creek Platinum and which hosts a NI 43-101 measured and indicated resource of 323 million tonnes grading 0.26% nickel and 0.15% copper (see Nickle Creek Platinum's 2023 NI 43-101 Technical Report). Exploration Targets The WRIC is a favourable setting for magmatic copper & nickel sulphide mineralization and is considered a "feeder system" with a high volume of magma flow. Due to the abundance of magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE showings at the base of the WRIC and the discovery of the nickel-rich Canalask footwall deposit, the project hosts strong potential for both "magmatic feeder-type" basal deposits and "epigenetic footwall-type" footwall deposits.

The geological setting draws comparison to the world-class Norilsk Ni-Cu-PGE camp. The Project also possesses copper-gold skarn-style mineralization with drill intersection of up to 2.4% Cu and 3.1 g/t Au over 1.0 meter in hole CSK24-05 (see news release December 10, 2024 ). 1. see Historical Resource Estimate disclaimer below Figure 1.

The Company is not treating the historical estimate as a current mineral resources.

The Historical Resource Estimate on the Main Zone (also referred to as the Footwall Zone) of the Canalask Project is quoted at 400,000 tonnes at 1.35% nickel (copper was not reported) by Discovery Mines Ltd. in 1968 (Yukon Assessment Report 094599). The parameters, methodology and categorise used are not known, and thus the reliability of the estimate cannot be determined, however, it is still considered relevant as underground development and diamond drilling in the 1950 & 1960s supported the estimate and provides a guide for future exploration.
