Arya Resources acquires 100% interest in Wedge Lake

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 11, 2026) - Arya Resources Ltd. (TSXV: RBZ) ("Arya" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has completed the early exercise of its option to acquire a 100% interest in the Wedge Lake Gold Project, located in Saskatchewan's La Ronge Gold Belt.

To complete the acquisition, Arya made the remaining cash payment of $30,000 ahead of schedule and issued 500,000 common shares of the Company to North-Sask Ventures Ltd. ("North-Sask"). The payment and share issuance were made pursuant to the Assignment, Assumption and Amended Agreement dated October 24, 2022, between North-Sask, as optionor, and Rebel Capital Inc. (now Arya Resources Ltd.), as optionee, as amended on June 18, 2025 (collectively, the "Option Agreement").

Having satisfied all remaining payment and share-issuance obligations under the Option Agreement, Arya has exercised the option and earned a 100% interest in the Wedge Lake Gold Project.

North-Sask retained a 2.5% net smelter returns royalty (the "NSR"). Arya has the right to purchase 1.0% of the NSR for $1,000,000 at any time before the achievement of certain milestones specified in the Option Agreement. If Arya exercises this right, the remaining NSR will be reduced to 1.5%.

"Completing the Wedge Lake option ahead of schedule is an important milestone for Arya and its shareholders," said Rasool Mohammad, President and CEO of Arya Resources. "Securing 100% ownership gives Arya greater flexibility as we continue advancing exploration and evaluating the broader potential of the Wedge Lake Gold Project."

The 500,000 common shares issued in connection with the early exercise of the option are subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance.
