[{"type":"text","content":"Search Minerals Announces Results of the Fox Run 2025 Critical Rare Earth Element Channel Program in Southeastern LabradorSt. Lewis, Newfoundland and Labrador--(Newsfile Corp. - March 19, 2026) - Search Minerals Inc. (TSXV: SMY) (OTC Pink: SHCMF) (\"Search Minerals\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report the results of the 2025 channel sampling program at the Fox Run and three additional Critical Rare Earth Element (\"CREE\") prospects in southeastern Labrador. The program consisted of sampling both outcrop and excavator-trenched channels in exposed bedrock at the Fox Run, Foxy Lady, Krazy Fox and Silver Fox prospects near St. Lewis, Labrador. Channel assay grades and widths from new channels at Fox Run are comparable to those reported for the Foxtrot Open Pit Indicated Mineral Resource. Importantly, the Fox Run and Foxy Lady prospects occur along the same mineralized belt between the Company's Foxtrot and Deep Fox deposits, two of the most advanced rare earth deposits in the emerging Port Hope Simpson-St. Lewis CREE district. The Krazy Fox and Silver Fox prospects occur up to 2 km west of the Foxtrot Deposit along the same regional trend. The proximity of these prospects to the Foxtrot and Deep Fox resources highlights the potential for additional mineralized zones to be defined within a short distance of the Company's existing deposits and potential future mining infrastructure (see Figure 1).HIGHLIGHTS OF 2025 EXPLORATION PROGRAMFox Run Prospect - Three channel samples ranging from 6.18m to 18.18m in width returned CREE values comparable to those reported for the Foxtrot Open Pit Indicated Mineral Resource (Table 1); Channel sample assay highlights include: FRC-25-01 (channel): 164 ppm Dy, 1200 ppm Nd, 321 ppm Pr, 28.0 ppm Tb over 18.18m; FRC-25-03 (channel): 200 ppm Dy, 1476 ppm Nd, 402 ppm Pr, 33.7 ppm Tb over 7.08m;FLC-25-05 (channel): 194 ppm Dy, 1307 ppm Nd, 344 ppm Pr, 33.4 ppm Tb over 4.24m;Fox Run remains open along strike, and additional, excavator-supported, channel sampling is planned to further delineate the mineralized zone and advance the prospect toward \"drill-ready\" status;Foxy Lady Prospect - channel sampling confirms the presence of two mineralized bands about 4m wide, with assay results comparable to those reported for the Foxtrot Open Pit Indicated Mineral Resource;The Krazy Fox and Silver F...
