Omnia Metals Reports Promising Rare Earth and Niobium Discoveries at Montana Radix Project

Radix Project Geochemical Data Validates REE-Niobium Targeting Approach

Omnia Metals’ maiden exploration at the Radix REE and Gallium Project produced valuable geochemical data aligning with prior desktop targeting efforts. The program collected 81 samples across the 80-claim landholding in Ravalli County, Montana, including 45 drainage-sediment and 36 rock samples between 29 May and 6 June 2026. These findings provide the first on-site geochemical framework, marking a shift from theoretical analysis to field-validated exploration.

The spatial distribution and consistent rare earth element variations across multiple drainage catchments reinforce the company’s REE-niobium carbonatite model developed during Phase 1. Executive Director Patrick Glovac noted that "the initial results support the REE-niobium carbonatite model from our Phase 1 study," adding that the data "provides clearly ranked catchments and rock occurrences for follow-up with more detailed sampling, mapping, and mineralogical analysis." Elevated REE levels across several drainage systems suggest a broad mineralisation footprint warranting comprehensive follow-up.

Noteworthy High-Grade Niobium in Rock Sample R017 Highlights Targeted Anomaly

The highest niobium concentration of 209 ppm Nb was detected in rock sample R017, representing the most significant assay from the Radix reconnaissance program. This value substantially exceeds the project’s general rock sample range of 0.32 to 209 ppm Nb and is described as "a notable discrete anomaly warranting further resampling, mapping, and mineralogical characterization." This distinct high-grade niobium occurrence offers a prioritized target for the next exploration phase.

Niobium, a critical mineral used in high-strength steel alloys, superalloys, and emerging technologies such as batteries and renewable energy infrastructure, was detected in both rock and sediment samples. Rock samples ranged from 0.32 to 209 ppm Nb, while drainage sediments contained 11.40 to 32.60 ppm Nb. The coherent niobium response in sediments combined with the discrete high-grade rock result indicates a promising target area for detailed sampling and mineralogical studies to assess source rock characteristics and economic potential.

Rare Earth Element Concentrations Span Multiple Catchments at Radix

Rare earth element results from the Radix program identify multiple promising catchments for prioritized exploration. Total rare earth elements plus yttrium (TREE+Y) ranged from approximately 45 to 560 ppm, with sediment sample PN0001175837 recording the highest value at 560.43 ppm. Light rare earth elements neodymium plus praseodymium (Nd+Pr), of significant commercial interest, ranged from 7.83 to 146.50 ppm in the same sample. Heavy rare earth elements plus yttrium (HREE+Y) varied between roughly 11 and 143 ppm, offering an additional vector for assessing heavy REE enrichment relative to TREE+Y.

The company highlighted that sample PN0001175837, which contained the top three REE values, was collected from drainage sediments and demonstrated "coherent drainage-scale REE variation across several catchments." This suggests multiple source areas within the project contribute to REE mineralisation in drainage systems, indicating a broad exploration target. The nearby Sheep Creek rare earth element project, located about three miles east of Radix, provides regional context and supports the possibility of a larger mineralised system in the area.

Exploration Strategy and Sampling Procedures at Radix

The Radix reconnaissance program aimed to identify prospective catchments and rock occurrences for detailed follow-up. Prior to fieldwork, drainage-sediment sample sites were selected using QGIS spatial analysis at intervals of approximately 250 to 300 metres. Planned locations were loaded into Garmin GPS units for field navigation, though some sites were adjusted due to access, terrain, and safety constraints. Certain planned samples were not collected where access was unsafe or impractical, reflecting the challenging Montana terrain.

Drainage-sediment samples were taken from active or recently active drainage material, minimizing organic content and coarse fragments. Rock samples were selectively collected from outcrop, subcrop, float, and other geological features relevant to REE and critical mineral potential. The company noted rock samples are selective and may not represent average grade or thickness of geological units. All samples were submitted to ALS laboratory in Twin Falls, Idaho, on 8 June 2026 and analyzed using multi-element ICP-MS and whole-rock major element methods suitable for reconnaissance exploration.

Quality Assurance and Reconnaissance Data Interpretation

The company disclosed that no field blanks, standards, or duplicates were inserted during the reconnaissance program, relying instead on ALS laboratory’s internal quality-control procedures. Results are considered appropriate for reconnaissance-scale targeting, with plans to implement formal QA/QC protocols in future programs. This approach aligns with early-stage exploration focused on target identification rather than resource definition.

Omnia Metals emphasized that "results are reconnaissance-scale and do not represent mineral-resource grades or demonstrate continuity," but are suitable for target prioritization and follow-up source-rock investigation. The broad and locally consistent variations in TREE+Y, Nd+Pr, HREE+Y, and niobium across the Radix claims underpin the company’s prioritization of catchments and rock occurrences for detailed mapping, tighter sampling, and mineralogical analysis.

Stibnite Ridge Antimony Project Results and Tenure Adjustment

Omnia Metals conducted a first-pass program at the Stibnite Ridge Antimony Project from 27 to 28 May 2026, reporting results for 17 samples within the retained 28-claim tenure. Antimony values ranged from 2.05 to 16.0 ppm, arsenic from 6.28 to 40.6 ppm, and silver from 0.018 to 0.082 ppm in drainage sediments. Sample PN0001175801 recorded the highest coincident antimony and arsenic levels. Located in Sanders County, Montana, Stibnite Ridge is the company’s second Montana exploration project.

Following a tenure review that identified third-party claims overlapping part of the original block, Omnia Metals reduced its position to 28 claims. The company chose not to contest competing claims, opting to focus on the more prospective retained ground. Executive Director Patrick Glovac stated the company will concentrate "on the more prospective ground, which Omnia retained," reflecting a strategic allocation of exploration resources.

Geographic and Regional Exploration Context of Montana Projects

Omnia Metals’ two Montana projects are situated in different counties within the U.S., providing geographic diversification of its critical mineral exploration portfolio. The Radix REE and Gallium Project lies in Ravalli County, while the Stibnite Ridge Antimony Project is in Sanders County, about three miles west. Both projects benefit from the northwestern U.S.’s established mining infrastructure, service providers, and geological expertise.

The nearby Sheep Creek rare earth element project, roughly three miles east of Radix, offers important regional context, suggesting that REE mineralisation may be part of a larger mineralised system spanning multiple landholdings. Omnia Metals’ focus on rare earth elements, niobium, and antimony aligns with global market trends and government policies driving demand for minerals essential to renewable energy, electric vehicles, and advanced manufacturing technologies, including batteries, permanent magnets, superalloys, and electronics.

Future Exploration Strategy and Target Prioritization

Omnia Metals outlined a clear follow-up exploration plan based on the maiden results. At Radix, the spatial distribution of REE and niobium data supports prioritization of catchments and rock occurrences for detailed mapping, tighter geochemical sampling, mineralogical studies, and integration with geological mapping. The discrete anomaly at rock sample R017 with 209 ppm niobium is specifically targeted for resampling and characterization. The coherent drainage-scale REE variations across multiple catchments also provide ranked targets for further investigation.

The Phase 1 REE-niobium carbonatite model offers a theoretical framework to be refined through ongoing field programs. The reconnaissance results translate desktop targeting into company-generated geochemical data, marking progress from preliminary assessment to field-validated exploration. The identification of coherent spatial element patterns suggests the targeting model’s validity and the potential for additional prospective areas to emerge during follow-up work. The next milestone involves commencing tighter-spaced sampling and geological mapping in the highest-priority zones.

Company Operations and Exploration Portfolio Approach

Omnia Metals Group Ltd specializes in exploring and developing critical mineral and rare earth element deposits. Its focus on REE and niobium at Radix, alongside antimony exploration at Stibnite Ridge, positions the company strategically within the critical minerals sector amid rising global demand driven by clean energy and advanced manufacturing. The deployment of a two-person field crew, including a geologist and field technician, reflects a lean operational model suited to early-stage reconnaissance.

The transition from desktop analysis to on-the-ground exploration marks a significant operational milestone. Completion of maiden field programs at both Montana projects and generation of initial geochemical data lay the groundwork for subsequent campaigns. The company’s decision to rationalize tenure at Stibnite Ridge by focusing on more prospective ground and not contesting competing claims demonstrates disciplined capital management and a focus on areas with the highest economic potential.
