Winnipeg, Manitoba--(Newsfile Corp. - September 8, 2026) - Beyond Minerals Inc. (CSE: BY) (OTCQB: BYDMF) (the "Company" or "Beyond") is pleased to report on the ongoing 2026 exploration program at its Owl Creek Project, located approximately 30 minutes north of Pemberton, British Columbia, and the 2026 biogeochemical results from the Ear Falls Project located near the town of Ear Falls, Ontario. The Company further announces its intention to complete a non-brokered private placement of an unsecured convertible debenture in the aggregate principal amount of up to $50,000 (the "Offering") for gross proceeds in the same amount.
Owl Creek Project
The continued exploration program at the Owl Creek Project focused on detailed geological mapping and systematic sampling within Zone C, complemented by first-pass prospecting across Zones A and D. This work further refines the Project's emerging porphyry-style mineral system, improving the understanding of alteration zonation, structural controls, and the broader mineralized footprint across the property.

Owl Creek Exploration Progress
High-resolution drone imagery completed for structural and lithological mapping Drone coverage successfully outlined outcrops and identified several zones of malachite mineralization, supporting surface mapping.
Over 70 rock samples collected for Cu-Mo-Ag, & Au analysis More than 50 samples collected from Zone C, including altered diorite and altered andesite.
Initial prospecting at Zones A and D resulted in 14 samples, expanding the footprint of mapped alteration and mineralization.
Submitted a total 5 samples from Zones A and C to Vancouver Petrographics for thin section study.
First-pass evaluation of Zone A confirms porphyry-style alteration and mineralization Field crews identified potassic alteration and localized chalcopyrite-bornite mineralization.

Allan Frame, CEO of Beyond, commented "The recognition of potassic alteration with chalcopyrite-bornite mineralization at Zone A, together with the expanding footprint of altered diorite and volcanic rocks identified across the different Zones, represent a key technical success for the Project. Step by step, each phase of mapping and sampling is giving us a clearer picture of the vectoring within this porphyry system helping us refine where the follow-up exploration program will be focused next."

Owl Creek Project Background
The Owl Creek Project encompasses a total of 3,522 hectares in area. The Project is situated near the town of Pemberton, a small but fast-growing community located in the upper Lillooet River Valley. The town of Pemberton provides essential services and expanding infrastructure that support exploration activities in the region.
The Owl Creek Project lies within the Cascade Magmatic Arc, a continental-margin arc system extending more than 1,200 km from northern California into southwestern British Columbia (Hildreth, 2007). The Cascade Arc hosts numerous Miocene-aged intrusive associated with porphyry styled copper-molybdenum and copper-gold mineralization, making it a regionally significant for porphyry exploration.
Historical work completed include soil geochemistry, airborne geophysical survey, mapping, and historical diamond drilling. In July 2026, the technical completed a successful technical visit at the Owl Creek Project verifying historical work, evaluating surface mineralization and the footprint of the porphyry system, and finalizing the exploration plan for the 2026 program. (Beyond's News Release dated July 23, 2026).
Ear Falls Project Update
The 3,250 ha Ear Falls Project is located 15 minutes north of Ear Falls, Ontario. Spodumene-bearing pegmatites discovered in 2023 define the Wenasaga North Zone, traced over 1.5 km on surface within a broader 13 km structural corridor associated with the Wenasaga Batholith which was interpreted as the fertile peraluminous granite source for LCT-type pegmatites in the area.

A total of 552 biogeochemical samples were collected during the July field program (News Release July 7, 2026). Lithium assays from the survey successfully outlined and extended footprint of the spodumene-bearing pegmatite zone known as the Wenasaga North Zone and delineated three additional target areas with potential for buried lithium mineralization (Figure 4). These targets appear to be hosted within both the granite and the adjacent sedimentary units along the southern contact, highlighting multiple prospective structural and lithological settings for follow-up work.
Offering
The Offering will consist of the issuance of an unsecured convertible debenture of the Company in the aggregate principal amount of up to $50,000 (the " Debenture ") for gross proceeds in the same amount, bearing interest at a rate of 10% per annum and maturing one year from the date of issuance.
