Earthwise and Eagle Plains intercept gold mineralization at Iron Range

Earthwise Intersects 60.5 Metres Grading 0.76 g/t Gold, Including 1.0 Metre Grading 6.62 g/t Gold at Iron Range

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / September 2, 2026 / Earthwise Minerals Corp. (CSE:WISE)(FSE:966)(OTCQB:EWISF) (" Earthwise " or the " Company " ) is pleased to announce assay results from the 2026 diamond drill program at the Iron Range Gold Project in southeastern British Columbia. The three-hole, 1,182-metre program intersected gold mineralization in all three holes, highlighted by 60.5 metres grading 0.76 g/t gold in drill hole IR26055, including 1.0 metre grading 6.62 g/t gold. Earthwise holds the exclusive option to earn up to an 80% interest in the Iron Range Gold Project from Eagle Plains Resources (TSX-V:EPL) (OTCQB:EGPLF) ("EPL" or "Eagle Plains").

Highlights:

All three holes intersected mineralization

IR26053: 15m @ 0.53g/t Au; and 0.50m @ 7.26 g/t Au;

IR26054: 24m @ 0.73 g/t Au; and 0.5m @ 11.75 g/t Au;

IR26055: 60.5m @ 0.76 g/t Au; including 1.0m @ 6.62 g/t Au;

Potential for multiple ore shoots within Talon Zone;

The 2026 drill program was designed to infill historical mineralized intercepts and assess continuity of mineralization along trend at the Talon Zone structure, where 2010 drilling by Eagle Plains intersected 2 intervals of strong and continuous mineralization including 14.0m grading 5.1g/t gold, 1.86% lead, 2.1% Zinc, 75.3g/t silver and 7.1m grading 8.13g/t gold, 2.84% lead, 3.07% zinc, 86.6g/t silver (DDH IR10010).

The 20,021ha Iron Range Project is considered by management of both Eagle Plains and Earthwise to hold excellent potential for the presence of structurally controlled gold-silver mineralization, iron-oxide copper-gold ("IOCG") and Sullivan-style lead-zinc-silver sedimentary-exhalative ("sedex") mineralization. The drill program was managed by Terralogic Exploration Inc. and diamond drill
