NatBridge reports initial payment from title transfers amid CTO revocation

Burnaby, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 17, 2026) - NatBridge Resources Ltd. (CSE: NATB) (OTCID: NATBF) (FSE: GI80) ("NatBridge" or the "Company") provides the following corporate update as the Company continues its cease trade order revocation process, receives its first cash payment under its previously announced agreement with NatGold Digital Ltd. (" NatGold "), and secured a non-convertible loan (the " Loan ") to provide additional working capital.

Cease Trade Order Update

The Company continues to work with the British Columbia Securities Commission (the " BCSC ") in connection with the review of its application for revocation of the cease trade order issued against the Company on December 4, 2025 (the " CTO ").

As part of the ongoing review, NatBridge continues to address matters arising in connection with its application. The CTO remains in effect, and there can be no assurance as to the timing or outcome of the review. The Company will provide further updates as material developments occur.

NatGold Payment Update

The Company has received its first cash payment from NatGold pursuant to its agreement dated November 10, 2025. The payment relates to proceeds received by NatGold from sales of a portion of the NATG tokens associated by NatGold with the mineral rights interests in Land Parcels 45 and 46 of the Cahuilla Gold Project previously transferred by the Company to NatGold Integrity Vault LLC.

The payment represents the first cash proceeds received by NatBridge under the agreement. According to its terms, NatGold reports the applicable number of NATG tokens sold on a monthly basis and pays the amount due to NatBridge. Any future payment will therefore depend on applicable NATG token sales, and there can be no assurance as to any such payments. The Company expects to report amounts received under the agreement as part of its regular quarterly financial reporting.

" The receipt of this initial payment is an important development under our agreement with NatGold, " said Stephen Moses, CEO and Director of NatBridge. " Our immediate priority remains the CTO revocation process and our continuing work with the BCSC. We remain focused on bringing the Company's continuous disclosure record current and advancing the revocation process and will provide further updates as material developments occur. "

NATG is issued, administered and sold by NatGold. NatBridge does not issue, market, distribute or control NATG. The Company is providing this update solely to disclose the receipt of funds under its contractual arrangements with NatGold and does not intend such disclosure to imply the existence, estimation or valuation of mineral resources, or to characterize the status or value of any NATG tokens.

Non-Convertible Loan

On August 13, 2026, the Company received an unsecured, non-convertible Loan in the principal amount of US$75,000 from an arm's-length lender. The Loan provided additional working capital while the CTO remains in effect and the Company continues the revocation process and was intended to be used for general working capital and corporate purposes, including regulatory, legal, accounting and audit expenses associated with the CTO revocation process.

The Loan bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum and matures on the earlier of: (i) November 13, 2026; and, (ii) the date that is 30 calendar days after the Company receives proceeds equal to or greater than the outstanding principal amount of the Loan. The Loan may be prepaid at any time without notice, bonus or penalty. As consideration for providing the Loan, the Company agreed to pay the lender a one-time cash fee equal to 4% of the principal amount of the Loan. The principal amount, accrued interest and cash fee are payable solely in cash.

The Loan is not convertible into securities of the Company, does not provide for the issuance of any warrants, options or other securities of the Company, and no securities are issuable in connection with the Loan. The lender is an arm's-length party and not a related party of the Company within the meaning of applicable securities laws.
