ARRAS MINERALS MOBILIZES TWO ADDITIONAL DRILLS TO THE ELEMES PROJECT FOR TOP-OF-BEDROCK (KGK) PROGRAM IN KAZAKHSTAN AND FILES NI 43-101 TECHNICAL REPORT ON THE ELEMES PROJECT

About this update from Arras Minerals Corp

TSX-V: ARK / OTCQB: ARRKF VANCOUVER, BC, May 6, 2026 /CNW/ - Arras Minerals Corp. (TSXV: ARK) (OTCQB: ARRKF) ("Arras" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the commencement of a top-of-bedrock ("KGK") drilling program at its Elemes Project in northeastern Kazakhstan, advancing what is emerging as a district-scale copper-gold system. Program Highlights: Late last year, the Company completed a 64-hole KGK program that expanded the footprint under shallow cover of copper-gold mineralization at Berezski Central and Berezski East to over 1,000 metres of strike length. Mineralization remains open to the north and south, highlighting the potential for significant expansion of mineralization along this highly prospective corridor. Burstroy Drilling has been engaged to conduct approximately 6,000m of KGK drilling that has been designed to rapidly evaluate the Berezski and Aimandai trends and prioritize targets for diamond drilling over the next few months. Tim Barry, CEO of Arras Minerals, commented: "In late 2025, we tested a section of the Berezski Trend with KGK-drilling that expanded the footprint of the Berezski Central and Berezski East targets and identified additional exploration targets. This top-of-bedrock drilling has proven to be a great tool to quickly prioritize targets for diamond-drill testing over large areas with shallow cover masking the geology. Given the success in the initial program, we are focusing on Berezski East and further along strike north and south from Berezski Central in this emerging large-scale corridor. Additionally, at Aimandai, we're targeting the core of the 14 km soil anomaly to identify targets for follow-up initial diamond-drilling." Top-of-Bedrock (KGK) Drilling at BerezskiIn December 2025, the Company announced results from a 64-hole KGK drilling program across Berezski Central and Berezski East, materially advancing the understanding of geology and Cu-Au mineralization beneath shallow cover. The program not only expanded the known footprint, but demonstrated that KGK drilling is a rapid, scalable method for vectoring along the 8.8 km Berezski Trend and for targeting additional mineralized centres. In 2026, approximately 200 KGK drill holes are planned along the Berezski Trend to unlock the broader potential of the system. Drilling will focus on: This program ...
