[{"type":"text","content":" Highlights: 32.7 g/t gold, 81.4 g/t silver and 0.95% copper over 7.5 metres in hole COR-26-60, including: 142.4 g/t gold over 0.9 metres, and 43.2 g/t gold over 1.0 metre, and 31.8 g/t gold over 1.0 metre Seven intervals above 10 g/t gold returned from the first 10 holes of the winter drill program Cooke lies approximately 2 kilometres east of the envisioned Opémiska open pit and remains outside any currently defined resource Results continue to define two mineralized zones and support continuity of mineralization Copper values in several intercepts suggest potential for meaningful by-product credits Remaining assays from 8 additional holes are pending from the current Cooke drill program Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - April 27, 2026) - XXIX Metal Corp. (TSXV: XXIX) (OTCQB: QCCUF) (FSE: 5LW0) (\"XXIX\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report additional drill results from the Cooke Zone, located approximately 2 kilometres east of the Company's envisioned Opémiska open pit. The latest results continue to demonstrate that Cooke hosts high-grade gold-silver-copper mineralization and support the potential for Cooke to emerge as a satellite deposit within the broader Opémiska development scenario. Importantly, Cooke is a past-producing mine with no current NI 43-101 resource, giving XXIX a clear opportunity to add near-surface ounces and enhance the scale and flexibility of the Opémiska project. XXIX is reporting results from the first 10 holes of its winter drill program at Cooke. From January 7 to March 23, 2026, the Company completed 3,315 metres of drilling in 18 holes using one rig. Combined with the fall program, XXIX has now completed a total of 9,225 metres at Cooke. The objective of the program is to evaluate Cooke as a potential second open pit that could complement the envisioned Opémiska operation. Across the first 10 holes, the Company intersected seven intervals grading more than 10 g/t gold. The standout intercept came from hole COR-26-60, which returned 32.72 g/t gold, 81.41 g/t silver and 0.95% copper over 7.5 metres, including 142.4 g/t gold over 0.9 metres, 43.2 g/t gold over 1.0 metre, and 31.8 g/t gold over 1.0 metre. Hole COR-26-60 also returned a separate interval of 2.25 g/t gold over 17.0 metres higher in the hole. These results continue to support the presence of two mineralized zones at Cooke an...
