About this update from Xxix Metal Corp.
Highlights: Pluto adds early-stage copper-gold-silver exploration exposure near Opemiska without changing XXIX's core focus on Opemiska and Thierry. XXIX views the broader Opemiska district as highly prospective for copper-gold mineralization, with Pluto adding new exploration targets that could benefit the Opemiska camp. The Property covers approximately 556 hectares and includes nearby claims that create a practical exploration footprint. Recent forestry road development has improved access and may reduce the cost of initial fieldwork. Pluto benefits from approximately C$248,000 in excess exploration work credits from prior assessment work, including an extended IP survey. Historical work indicates copper-gold-silver potential, which requires modern validation. XXIX plans to compile historical data, complete reconnaissance mapping and prospecting, rank targets, and assess whether trenching or drilling is warranted. Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - June 23, 2026) - XXIX Metal Corp. (TSXV: XXIX) (OTCQB: QCCUF) (FSE: 5LW0) ("XXIX" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an option agreement with Germanium Mining Corp. to acquire a 100% interest in the Pluto Property ("Pluto" or the "Property"), located in Québec's Chapais-Chibougamau region, approximately 10 km from the Opemiska Project. Pluto comprises approximately 556 hectares. Additionally, XXIX has staked certain nearby claims to complement the transaction. The acquisition gives the Company low-cost exposure to an early-stage copper-gold-silver exploration opportunity while maintaining its capital allocation priorities at Opemiska and Thierry. Pluto has seen limited historical work relative to other areas of the region, in part because access was historically challenging. Recent forestry road development has improved access and may allow the Company to evaluate the Property more efficiently during an initial field program. "Pluto is a low-cost addition to our regional exploration pipeline. The value of the transaction is that it gives XXIX the ability to evaluate ground where historical work, existing credits and improved access may support a practical first-pass exploration program. Our approach will be disciplined and systematic: compile the historical data, verify the geology through field validation, and advance only those targets that warrant additional exploration an...
