Vancouver, British Columbia -
Newsfile Corp. - April 8, 2026 -
Military Metals Corp. (CSE: MILI) (OTCQB: MILIF) (FSE: QN90) (the "Company" or "MILI") is
pleased to announce the completion of a maiden Inferred Mineral
Resource estimate (MRE) of 6.5 Mt at 1.02% Sb and 1.06 g/t Au for 67
thousand tonnes (kt) of antimony and 222 thousand ounces (koz) of gold
at the Company's wholly owned flagship Trojárová Project (the "
Project") in Western Slovakia.
Highlights:
- - Inferred Mineral Resource of 6.5 Mt at 1.02% Sb and 1.06 g/t Au for 67 kt of antimony and 222 koz of gold (Table 1)
-
- Resource estimate incorporated 53 diamond drill holes totaling
7,167 m of drilling and 55 intervals of underground chip samples
totaling 202 m
-
- Historical MRE is now replaced by a modern MRE that is prepared
in accordance with the 2014 Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and
Petroleum ("CIM") Definition Standards (CIM, 2014) and the CIM Best
Practice Guidelines of Mineral Resources and Reserves (2019)
Scott Eldridge, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, "The
maiden mineral resource estimate of the Trojárová Project firmly
underpins the value of Military Metals. Following our 2025 confirmation
drilling campaign Trojárová has emerged as the largest antimony resource
in the European union that is defined by a modern regulatory standard
1, and among the largest antimony resources globally. At a
time when the need for secure, domestically sourced critical minerals is
more pressing than ever, these results strengthen the project's
potential importance to, and alignment with, the EU's objective of
building a dependable, home-grown supply of critical raw materials."
1The Company defines "a modern regulatory standard" as NI 43-101, JORC, or S-K 1300 disclosure standards.

Notes:
-
The Mineral Resource Estimate was completed by SLR Consulting
(Canada) Ltd. ("SLR") in accordance with the 2014 Canadian Institute of
Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum ("CIM") Definition Standards and the
CIM Best Practice Guidelines of Mineral Resources and Reserves (2019).
-
SLR is independent of Military Metals Corp.
-
The Mineral Resource is reported on a 100% ownership basis.
-
Mineral Resources are estimated at a cut-off grade of 0.8% SbEq.
-
The formula for SbEq is SbEq = Sb % + (Au g/t * 0.562).
-
Mineral Resources are estimated using a long-term antimony price of
US$29,000 per tonne and a gold price of US$3,000 per ounce.
-
A uniform bulk density of 2.82 t/m3 was applied based on the length-weighted mean from laboratory density determinations from the Project's main mineralized zone.
-
Metallurgical recovery is 85% for antimony and 85% for gold.
-
The Mineral Resource excludes a 50 m crown pillar.
-
Resource estimation domains were modelled to a 2.0 m minimum width.
-
Totals may vary due to rounding.
The 2026 Trojárová Mineral Resource Estimate
The maiden Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") incorporates all historical
and modern drilling completed on the project, as well as historical
underground sampling, comprising 53 diamond drill holes totaling 7,167 m
and 55 underground face chip sampling intervals totaling 202 m. Three
historical drill holes without analytical results available were
excluded. Six mineralization wireframes, each supported by a minimum of
two drill holes, were manually built based on a 0.1% SbEq threshold. A
minimum wireframe width of 2.0 m was applied to all zones. Mineral
Resources above the 0.8% SbEq cut-off were reported in four of the six
mineralization wireframes (Figure 1).
Inferred Mineral Resources correspond to areas supported by at least two
drill holes with nominal drill spacing of no more than 150 m.
Classification boundaries were locally refined manually to reflect
geological interpretation, grade continuity, and zone thickness.
The MRE is constrained within estimation domains meeting a 2.0 m minimum
mining width. A 50 m crown pillar was also excluded from the MRE.
Resource classification follows the CIM (2014) Definition Standards.
Modeling and estimation were completed in Leapfrog Geo and Leapfrog
Edge, and validation included database checks, wireframe-to-block volume
comparisons, statistical reviews, and visual inspections on sections,
plans, and longitudinal sections. Reporting assumes an antimony price of
US $29,000 per tonne and a gold price of US$3,000/oz, with an effective
date of April 6
th, 2026.
The average grade, minimum mining width and other results or assumptions above do not guarantee future production.

Exploration Growth Potential
To date no significant mineralization has been intersected beyond the
boundaries of the current Inferred Mineral Resource estimate. However,
mineral exploration beyond these boundaries has also been limited. There
is geological evidence of the mineralizing structure or other
sympathetic structures continuing northward along strike within the
boundaries of the Trojárová project. Additional exploration along this
corridor could identify targets for future drilling. Furthermore, the
Inferred Mineral Resource is open to depth, where additional drilling
has the potential to incorporate additional volume into future mineral
resource estimates.
About the Trojárová Project
Discovered in the late 1970s, Trojárová was the focus of extensive
surface and underground exploration over a 2 km strike length from 1983
to 1995, including 66 diamond drill holes for a total of 9,049 m and 1.7
km of underground workings. Efforts continued over the years as
additional trenches were dug, and holes were drilled. Starting in 1990,
underground development began, ultimately comprising a 300-metre-long
adit connected to a 700-plus-metre-long drive in the footwall of the
mineralized zone, with seven crosscuts into the mineralized zone for
sampling.
These efforts culminated in a comprehensive study comprising drill logs,
analyses, drill plans, maps and sections, deposit model studies,
petrographic studies, metallurgical studies and more, now detailed in a
multi-volume compendium of reports produced by the Slovak Geological
Institute published in 1992.
The historical work carried out appears comprehensive, detailed and at a
professional standard. The Company considers this historical data
relevant, as it will use it as a guide to plan future exploration
programs and informs the Inferred Mineral Resource estimate. The Company
also considers the data to be reliable for these purposes.
The Company completed a confirmation drilling campaign in the winter of
2025 to validate historical work. Seven diamond drill holes totaling
1,383 m were drilled (Figure 2).
