About this update from Magna Terra Minerals Inc

Toronto, Ontario - Magna Terra Minerals Inc. (TSXV: MTT) (the 'Company' or 'Magna Terra') is pleased to announce geochemical results of a soil sampling and trenching program at the Boudreau Brook-Fossil Hill Trend on its Rocky Brook Project ('Rocky Brook' or the 'Project'), located in the prolific Bathurst Mining Camp ('BMC') of northern New Brunswick . The soil sampling results show anomalous copper, zinc, gold, and silver values that are coincident with EM anomalies along the 15-kilometre-long Boudreau Brook-Fossil Hill Trend, one of five high priority targets identified by analysis of regional airborne geophysical and geochemical data sets that is located 5.5 kilometres to the north-northwest of Canadian Copper Inc.'s Caribou Mill Complex . Grab and channel sample results from a trenching program at the Fossil Hill Zone confirmed the presence of native copper and copper sulphides and returned copper values up to 9,590 ppm, 9,210 ppm, and 9,080 ppm Cu. 'The results of our initial trenching program on the Rocky Brook Project are very encouraging. The impressive samples of visible copper mineralization in the trenches confirms the results of historic rock grab sampling on the Project. This abbreviated trenching program testing the Fossil Hill Zone only exposes a small section of the larger Boudreau Brook-Fossil Hill Trend where previous work has outlined a 15-kilometre-long zone of coincident copper mineralized rock samples and anomalous soil samples consistent with zones of conductivity and elevated gravity. The proximity of this zone to Canadian Copper's Caribou Mill Complex adds a compelling narrative for the potential to identify and delineate additional copper-rich massive sulphide deposits well within economic trucking distance to the Caribou Mill Complex . In parallel with the trenching work at Fossil Hill, we continue to explore along the larger 15-kilometre Boudreau Brook-Fossil Hill Trend, and we are very encouraged by the results of soil sampling indicating polymetallic (Cu-Zn-Au-Ag) signatures that coincide with airborne conductors and elevated gravity signatures. In 2026, we will look to further advance this trend and other identified high priority targets throughout the Rocky Brook Project , including targets on our Restigouche Property located between 5 and 10 kilometres to the southwest of Canadian Copper's Murray Brook Deposit.' Lew Lawrick , President and CEO, Magna Terra Minerals Inc. Rocky Brook Project Highlights VMS Highlights The Project covers a 40-kilometre extent of favourable California Lake felsic volcanic and sedimentary rocks that are host to the nearby Restigouche , Murray Brook , and Caribou Deposits; Identification of the Boudreau Brook-Fossil Hill Trend - a 15-kilometre trend of coincident geochemical and geophysical anomalies and historical prospects; Previous work at the Fossil Hill Zone has discovered high-grade copper-cobalt mineralization with grab samples assaying up to 16.65% Cu and 0.64% Co; Previous work at the Boudreau Brook prospect has discovered copper mineralization assaying up to 3% Cu; The property covers the Restigouche C-4 and C-5 footwall Cu-rich 'feeder' zones where previous historical drilling at the C-4 zone and in hole C-4 that intersected 4.36 m grading 0.2% Cu, 1.6% Pb, and 6.74% Zn (from 17.3 to 21.6 m). The best intersection in the C-5 zone was reported in hole C-5 that intersected 2.06% Cu and 0.57% Zn over 4.5 m (from 51.9 to 56.4 m); Located in the prolific Bathurst Mining Camp within the premier mining jurisdiction of New Brunswick and Year-round accessibility with road access to the majority of the property. Gold Highlights The Project also covers a 30-kilometre extent of the Rocky Brook-Millstream Fault system; Strategically positioned along strike from Kinross-Puma's Lynx Zone gold discovery and adjacent to the past-producing Caribou Mine and Murray Brook base metal deposits and Recent discovery in 2023 of high-grade gold assays from grab samples assaying up to 5.23 g/t Au over a 350 metre strike length at Fournier Lake . Soil Sampling Program A total of 2,515 soil samples, including 86 duplicates, were collected over three grids designed to cover key areas of the Boudreau Brook-Fossil Hill Trend including the Boudreau Brook and Fossil Hill mineral occurrences. The grids covered 7.2 kilometres of the 15-kilometre trend with each grid at 200 metre line-spacing and 25 metre sample-spacing. The results highlight key areas with multi-element anomalies (Cu, Zn, Ag, and Au) that are spatially coincident with EM conductors and prospective stratigraphy (ie. mafic volcanic and sedimentary units of the Sormany Group ). The Company plans to complete gaps in the survey as part of its comprehensive exploration plans commencing in the spring. Of the 2,515 samples collected over the Boudreau Brook-Fossil Hill Trend, Copper values range between (C) 2026 Electronic News Publishing, source ENP Newswire
