(CSE: AMQ) (OTCQB: AMQFF) (FSE: FW0) (\"Abitibi\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report another exceptional wide and high-grade copper-gold intercept from its ongoing drill program at the B26 Polymetallic Deposit (\"B26\" or the \"Deposit\") in Québec. The Company's resource improvement drilling campaign outperforms expectations, confirming excellent grade continuity. Abitibi currently holds an 80% interest in the B26 Project, with SOQUEM Inc., a subsidiary of Investissement Québec, holding the remaining 20% (see news release dated March 12, 2026).\nJonathon Deluce, CEO of Abitibi Metals, commented: \"Our 2026 drill program is progressing well, with results continuing to align with and validate our disciplined, high-impact capital allocation strategy at B26. Hole 378W1 is a strong example of this approach, successfully achieving multiple objectives within a single drill hole. Notably, it confirms a 50-metre eastern extension of the High-Grade Western Down-Plunge-one of the most significant discoveries from last year's program. This hole also contributes to the delineation of the indicated resource drill grid and delivered both greater width and higher grade than the current block model in this area, supporting continued organic resource growth at B26 and reinforcing our confidence in grade continuity across the deposit.\"\n\nLink to CEO Update Video\nDiscussion of Results:\nHoles 1274-26-378 and 378W1 further underscore the Western Down-Plunge as a highly prospective and priority growth corridor within the B26 Deposit. Positioned approximately 50 metres from hole 269W6, these drill holes successfully targeted both the up-dip projection and eastern...
