Initial Assay Results from the 2026 Exploration Program Demonstrate New Areas of Polymetallic Mineralization at the Samapleu Nickel-Copper Project (TheNewswire) The 2026 Exploration Program to be Expanded with the Additional Goal of New Mineral Resource Declarations Montreal, Quebec – TheNewswire - July 13, 2026 – Sama Resources Inc. ("Sama" or the "Company") (TSXV: SME) (OTC: SAMMF), together with its joint venture partner Ivanhoe Electric Inc.

In addition to a 60% interest at the Project level, Ivanhoe Electric also owns 22.7% of the common shares of Sama. The Project currently includes the polymetallic Samapleu and Grata Deposits, which were the focus of the 2024 Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) (the “2024 PEA Area”) (refer to Sama’s March 21, 2024 news release).
