VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Canterra Minerals Corporation (TSXV: CTM) (OTCQB: CTMCF) (FSE: DXZB) (“Canterra” or the “Company”) today announced its participation in the inaugural Gentile Mining Investor Forum (the “Forum”), a full-day investor conference in London on Monday, October 19, 2026, at 116 Pall Mall in Mayfair. The program is presented by strategic junior mining investor Michael Gentile in partnership with Amvest Capital Inc. (“Amvest Capital”) and made possible by the generous support of Flagship Sponsors ATB Cormark Capital Markets, Beacon Securities Limited, and STIFEL.

“I created this program to give serious investors direct, in-person access to a select group of companies I’ve backed with conviction. Each one represents what I believe to be a high-potential opportunity in the mining sector. These are names I have researched deeply, invested in personally, and believe have the potential to deliver meaningful value. Amvest Capital has been an outstanding partner in building a week of events that meets the standards these investors and companies deserve,” said Michael Gentile.

The Forum will bring together up to 150 investors, family offices, wealth managers, and sector-focused high-net-worth individuals for a full day of structured one-on-one meetings and dedicated issuer showcases alongside over 20 companies from Gentile’s portfolio, including Canterra. The day opens with a keynote breakfast featuring Michael Gentile, presented by session sponsor Canaccord Genuity, followed by issuer showcases presented by TSX and TSX Venture Exchange, an executive lunch and speaker panel, and an all-day investor lounge and networking reception hosted by session sponsor Investor.Events. Crux Investor serves as the Forum’s media sponsor.

“We are very pleased to be participating in the inaugural Gentile Mining Investor Forum in London. Our approximately 8,000 metre Phase 2 drill program is underway across the Buchans District, anchored by the Lundberg deposit, and we are working toward an updated Mineral Resource Estimate for Lundberg targeted for the fourth quarter of 2026. This Forum is an ideal opportunity to introduce the Canterra story to a sophisticated European investor base at a time when we have real momentum behind us,” said Chris Pennimpede, President and CEO of Canterra.
