(" GLC " or the " Company ") announces our financial and operating results for the three and twelve month period ended December 31, 2025. Selected financial and operational information is set out below and should be read in conjunction with the Company's December 31, 2025 financial statements and the related management's discussion and analysis, which are available for review at www.sedarplus.ca or the Company's website at www.groundedlithium.com . Financial Results 2025 KLP Update The Company continued to make measured progress on the Kindersley Lithium Project (" KLP ") with our partner, Denison Mines Corp (" Denison ").

The next major milestone for the KLP involves the completion and filing of a pre-feasibility study (" PFS "). The PFS will incorporate detailed operational, technical and financial assessments for the KLP. The combined expertise from Denison and GLC will support a meticulous approach to the PFS that acknowledges all the necessary engineering aspects for a lithium project and the production over the mine's life.

More importantly, the PFS, assuming positive conclusions, will serve as the basis for important next steps in the journey to bring the KLP to a commercial project. We expect to file the PFS over the course of the summer 2026. Oil and Gas Operations Update We also announce the successful drilling, completion and equipping of the initial two oil wells as part of the previously announced partnership with various third parties. (See press release dated January 14, 2026 ).

Both wells were drilled from a single pad with operations completed in a very short time frame thereby keeping capital costs to a minimum. The partnership is now focused on well-optimization efforts to deliver high quality spec grade product into the commodity markets as initial production and testing commenced in the last week of March. Given the current pricing environment, we expect to generate noteworthy cash flows which will shorten the payout timetable thereby enhancing working capital reserves for the Company.

"Our initial investment thesis to enter into another category of the resource extraction industry is demonstrating promising initial production," commented Gregg Smith, President & CEO. "Our Team's resource extraction expertise provides us potential to supplement liquidity as we deliver on our main investment thesis of delivering a commercially viable battery grade lithium project with our partners at Denison Mines Corp. We look to provide further updates over the coming months on operations from both categories of assets, and the results to date encourage us to plan our next oil drilling program."
