Elko County, Nevada - Newsfile Corp. - October 13, 2025 - Patriot Critical Minerals ("Patriot" or the "Company") is proud to announce the completion and filing of a Technical Report Summary ("TRS") under U.S. SEC Regulation S-K 1300 for its 100 %-owned MEGA Tungsten Project in Elko County, Nevada.

The filing confirms that Patriot controls the largest tungsten resource ever reported under modern U.S. SEC standards, marking a major milestone in the nation's effort to restore control over its critical-mineral supply chains.

Prepared by SRK Consulting (U.S.) Inc., the report defines an Inferred Mineral Resource of 21.8 million short tons grading 0.18 % WO₃, containing approximately 78.7 million pounds of tungsten trioxide (WO₃).

This achievement establishes Patriot's MEGA Project as a front-runner in the resurgence of American tungsten production.

MEGA Project - SK-1300 Report

A Strategic Asset for a New Industrial Era

"The MEGA Project represents a turning point for America's critical-mineral independence," said Anthony Paterson, President of Patriot Critical Minerals. "This is one of the most advanced and significant tungsten projects in the Western Hemisphere — and as we move toward Pre-Feasibility and production, we're proving that large-scale, U.S.-based projects can once again compete globally. But to secure that future, the government needs to move with the same urgency the market demands. If we want American metals for American industry, the time to act is now."

CEO Brodie Sutherland added, "With more than 85 % of U.S. tungsten currently imported, Patriot's Nevada asset offers a direct pathway to reshoring a metal vital for defense, aerospace, semiconductors, and clean-energy technologies."

Investment Highlights:

• - Largest SEC-Compliant Tungsten Resource in the United States - 21.8 M short tons @ 0.18 % WO₃ (~78.7 M lbs contained)
• - Tier-1 Mining Jurisdiction - Road access, grid power, and an experienced Nevada workforce
• - Open-Pit, Near-Surface Potential - Shallow geometry supports rapid, low-cost advancement
• - National Security Alignment - Tungsten is a designated critical mineral under the Defense Production Act
• - Advancing Toward PFS and Production - Engineering, permitting, and federal-program engagement now underway

QA/QC of Underlying Data
SRK is of the opinion that the procedures and methods, as documented and understood from the legacy and more recent sampling at the MEGA Project, are suitable for the declaration of Inferred Mineral Resources. Potential inaccuracies or biases (which could result from issues in historical methods) have been accounted for in a variety of ways, and any latent uncertainty has been incorporated as a factor in the resource classification. Demonstration of the accuracy of these legacy data remains an opportunity.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains forward‐looking statements and forward‐looking information (collectively, "forward‐looking statements") within the meaning of applicable Canadian legislation. Forward‐looking statements are typically identified by words such as: "believes", "expects", "anticipates", "intends", "estimates", "plans", "may", "should", "would", "will", "potential", "scheduled" or variations of such words and phrases and similar expressions, which, by their nature, refer to future events or results that may, could, would, might or will occur or be taken or achieved.

All statements in this news release that are not purely historical are forward‐looking statements and include statements regarding beliefs, plans, expectations and orientations regarding the future. Specifically, the forward-looking statements include: that the MEGA tungsten project has geological potential and will reach production; that the mineral resource estimates on the MEGA tungsten project will be realized; that Patriot is uniquely positioned to become one of the only tungsten producers in the United States; Patriot's positioning to deliver a secure, domestic source of tungsten; the strategic value of tungsten to the United States; the market prospects and price stability of tungsten; the Company's plans to advance the MEGA tungsten project, including filing a NI 43-101 technical report and engaging with the U.S. government to align development timelines with critical mineral funding programs, stockpiling strategies, and defense procurement priorities; the Company's planned position to be a supplier of choice in the tungsten market; and the Company's vision to become the go-to name for tungsten. Although the Company believes that such statements are reasonable and reflect expectations of future developments and other factors which management believes to be reasonable and relevant, the Company can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.
