("Perseverance" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed a non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") for aggregate gross proceeds of $4,618,869^* - oversubscribed by over $1,600,000.

The Private Placement is the first of the Company's two go-public financings and included pro-rata or increased strategic investments from existing shareholders Teck Resources Limited ("Teck"), a leading Canadian resource company, and Crescat Capital, a global macro asset management firm, among others.

The Private Placement consisted of i). 2,358,890 hard dollar units (the "HD Units") issued at a price of $0.60 per HD Unit, with each HD Unit comprised of one common share of the Company (each, a "Share") and one common share purchase warrant of the Company (each, a "Warrant"), and ii). 3,482,103 charity flow-through units (the "CFT Units") issued at a price of $0.92 per CFT Unit, with each CFT Unit comprised of one flow-through common share and one Warrant issued as part of a charity arrangement. Each Share and Warrant comprising the CFT Units qualify as a "flow-through share" as defined in s. 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Act"). Further details on the Private Placement are below in footnote 1.

Michael J. Tucker, CEO of Perseverance Metals, commented, "We are very pleased to complete the first of our go-public financings to expand and accelerate our ongoing exploration efforts at the Lac Gayot high-grade Ni-Cu-Co-PGE project in Québec, along with advancing the projects' emerging lithium potential. The financings will also fund our go-public initiative, with the goal of a TSXV listing early this fall via a subscription receipt IPO. We would like to emphasize how pleased we are to have Teck as a strong strategic investor, having maintained their 9.9% strategic investment in Perseverance through their participation in this financing."

Go-Public Financing Launched

The Company is pleased to announce that it has launched its go-public financing (the "Go-Public Financing") for gross proceeds of $3,000,000. The Go-Public Financing will be offered on a non-brokered private placement basis at a $13,500,000 pre-money valuation using a subscription receipt mechanism, and will include the sale of the following securities:

1. subscription receipts (the "Conventional Subscription Receipts") to be issued at a price of $0.60 per Conventional Subscription Receipt;

2. flow-through subscription receipts (the "FT Subscription Receipts") to be issued at a price of $0.65 per FT Subscription Receipt; and

3. charity flow-through subscription receipts (the "CFT Subscription Receipts") to be issued as part of a charity arrangement at a price of $0.92 per CFT Subscription Receipt;

(collectively, the "Subscription Receipts").

Each Subscription Receipt will be converted, without payment of any additional consideration and without any further action by the holder thereof, into one unit of the Company (a "Subscription Receipt Unit") upon the satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions (defined below). Each Subscription Receipt Unit will be comprised of one Share and one-half of one Warrant with the same terms as those issued in the Private Placement.

The gross proceeds from the sale of the Subscription Receipts will be held by the Company in a separate account, with no accrual of interest, and released to the Company upon: (i) the receipt by the Company of the final prospectus which it intends to file with certain securities regulatory authorities in Canada, and (ii) the receipt of confirmation from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") that the Company has met all requirements for listing the Shares on the TSXV, subject to the conversion of the Subscription Receipts (collectively, the "Escrow Release Conditions"). If the Escrow Release Conditions are not satisfied within 180 days from the closing date of the Go-Public Financing, the Subscription Receipts will be cancelled and the proceeds from the Go-Public Financing will be returned to the holders of the Subscription Receipts.

The net proceeds from the sale of the HD Units and Conventional Units will be directed towards advancing the Company's Lac Gayot, Voyageur and Armit Lake Projects, completing the Company's public listing on the TSXV, and for general corporate purposes.

The gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the CFT Units, FT Subscription Receipts and CFT Subscription Receipts will be used to incur eligible "Canadian exploration expenses" that will qualify as "flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures" as such terms are defined in the Act (the "Qualifying Expenditures") on the Lac Gayot Project in the Province of Québec, and/or the Armit Lake Project in the Province of Ontario. All Qualifying Expenditures will be renounced in favour of the subscribers effective December 31, 2025.

The securities offered pursuant to the Private Placement and the Go-Public Financing have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, United States persons absent registration or any applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws.
