[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / January 29, 2026 / Linear Minerals Corp. (CSE:LINE) (OTCID:LINMF) (WKN:A40 Y3E) (\"Linear\" or the \"Company\") is pleased announce its follow up exploration program at the Lac Marion Property in Quebec. The Company has received an Authorization de travaux d'intervention (ATI) exploration work permit from the Ministère des Ressources naturelles et des Forêts (MRNF) covering the Lac Marion Property. The ATI authorizes mechanical trenching and diamond drilling activities. Linear Minerals plans to commence permitted exploration activities in the spring, subject to site access, weather conditions, and standard operational considerations. The 2026 work program will be a follow up of the first round of prospecting, geological mapping and sampling work completed on the property. The first round of exploration yielded promising rare earth element (REE) results from initial prospecting at its Lac Marion Quebec mineral project. Samples were analyzed at ACTLABS Ancaster, Ontario which is an independent, ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory using fusion ICP-MS and ICP-OES methods. The initial announcement for these samples was the subject of Linear's November 2nd, 2025, news release and is summarized below: Sampling Results Summary Element / Parameter Reported Range Uranium (U) 20 to 3,690 ppm U U₃O₈ (calculated) 0.002% to 0.459% U₃O₈ Thorium (Th) 10 to 378 ppm Th Total Rare Earth Elements (TREE) 8 to 1,365 ppm TREE Heavy Rare Earth Elements (HREE) 12 to 626 ppm HREE Phosphate (P2O5) Less than 0.01% to 4.97% The heavy rare earth enrichment in these samples is particularly encouraging. Heavy rare earth elements such as dysprosium, terbium, and yttrium are among the rarest and most strategically important critical minerals, essential for high-performance permanent magnets, advanced defense technologies, and next-generation clean energy systems. These early results suggest that the Quebec project may host zones of high-value heavy rare earth mineralization, distinguishing it from many typical light-REE occurrences in Quebec. Cautionary Statement The reported samples are selective grab samples and may not be representative of underlying mineralization. There has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource, and it is uncertain whether further exploration will result in the delineation of a mineral...
