Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 13, 2026) - Military Metals Corp. (CSE: MILI) (OTCQB: MILIF) (FSE: QN90) (the "Company" or "MILI") is pleased to report the commencement of an exploration diamond drilling campaign at the company's 100% owned West Gore Antimony-Gold Project (the "Project") in Nova Scotia, Canada. The program is scheduled to begin this week of July 13th and is planned to include at least 7 holes across two targets totaling 1750m.
Highlights:
Seven drillholes planned totaling 1750m
Three holes planned to target the down plunge extension of the past producing deposit below historical mine workings
Four holes are planned to target the down plunge extension of the historically exploited Brook Vein occurrence and continuity of a significant historical intercept.
Scott Eldridge, CEO and Director, stated, "West Gore is an underexplored asset with limited drilling since mining operations ceased in the early 1900s. Our initial reconnaissance produced compelling drill targets that we are excited to test. No previous operator has undertaken such an ambitious program to test the down-plunge continuity of the deposit below the historical mine workings. Furthermore, the Brook Vein features an additional target with significant historical results that warrant drilling. Our drill plan at this target is designed to test the continuity of mineralization from historical drillhole 87-01, which intercepted 10.27% antimony over 2.3 meters."
Mr. Eldridge further comments: "Antimony is designated by the Government of Canada as a critical mineral essential for national security, defense, and clean technologies. It is additionally recognized as a critical mineral under Nova Scotia's provincial minerals strategy, and the West Gore project standing as one of the most significant past-producing antimony deposits in Canadian history."
Previous disclosure discussing the work leading to the identification of geophysical and geochemical drill targets can be found in company news releases dated July 8th, 2025 and October 14th, 2025. The results of 1987 drilling by Durham resources, including drillhole 87-01 is comprehensively discussed in publicly available Nova Scotia assessment report ar_me-1987-050.

About The West Gore Project
West Gore was an important antimony producer during World War One, making significant contributions to the allied war efforts. Historical production from the West Gore district has been estimated at 7,761 tonnes of antimony concentrate (46% Sb; Messervey, 1932) and 7,149 oz gold (Bates, 1987). The Project lies in the Meguma gold camp and consists of a past-producing underground mine, and an additional occurrence (The Brook Vein) historically exploited with a single stope. Mineralization occurs as stibnite, native antimony, aurostibnite, and antimony-gold alloys and oxides. Aside from minor exploration work in the 1960s, 1980s, and 2010s, the West Gore system remains significantly unexplored after World War One.
