Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 26, 2026) - Military Metals Corp. (CSE: MILI) (OTCQB: MILIF) (FSE: QN90) (the "Company" or "MILI") is pleased to report the additional analytical results of the Company's definition drilling campaign at the 100% owned flagship Trojárová Antimony-Gold Project (the "Project") in Slovakia as announced on November 4, 2025. The 2025 drilling campaign was designed to confirm historical drilling results and to support SLR Consulting's work towards establishing a current mineral resource estimate on the Project, which the company anticipates delivery of by the end of Q1, 2026, further discussed in the Company's January 9, 2025, announcement.

These priority assay results represent the main mineralized zone from the fifth hole of the program, 25-TVA-005.

Highlights of the Results from hole 25-TVA-005 Include:

• 10.2 drilled (m) of 1.49 % Antimony over a true width of 9.0m from 150.8m to 161m

  • Including 2.0m of 9.33% Antimony over a true width of 0.9m from 153m to 154m

  • Within 3.2m of 3.78 % Antimony over a true width of 2.8m from 150.8m to 154m

Full results from hole 25-TVA-005 are included below. There are no known factors that could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of these results.

Scott Eldridge, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, "The high-grade ¹ intersections we're seeing at Trojárová, including 2 meters at 9.33% antimony, confirm the strong continuity of this deposit. We eagerly await the final analytical results to continue our work towards establishing a current mineral resource estimate on the property, strengthening Trojárová's position as Europe's premier antimony project".

Analytical and QA/QC Procedures

The program was completed using PQ and HQ sized drill core. Sampled intervals were identified by logging geologists and assigned a unique sample identification number. Samples were split in two halves using a diamond bladed saw with one half remaining in the core box as a permanent record and the half placed in a plastic sample bag, both marked with a waterproof tag bearing the unique sample number which was also written on the sample bag in permanent marker. Samples were transported from the Company's secure facility by private courier to ALS Laboratories in Romania for geochemical analysis. ALS Laboratories is an independent ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ISO 9001:2015 certified commercial laboratory with no relationship to the Company. The samples were analyzed using multi-element package ME_ICP41a and for gold using fire assay package Au-AA25. ME_ICP41a is an ore grade package involving digestion of a 0.4g sample by aqua regia with an Inductively coupled plasma - atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) finish. The Au-AA25 fire assay method is an ore grade analysis using a 30g aliquot. The aliquot is mixed with flux composed of PbO and SiO2 with variable amounts of borax, soda ash and other reagents. The flux and sample are mixed, then heated at high temperature (>1,000°C) to decompose rock lattices and allow gold within the sample to be collected into a lead button. The button is placed in a porous cupel and heated again in an oxidizing environment to convert lead to lead oxide that is absorbed into the cupel, leaving the precious metals behind as a doré bead or prill. The gold content of the prill is then determined by atomic adsorption spectrometry. Package ME_ICP41 is limited by an upper detection limit of 5% for Antimony. Overlimit samples are reanalyzed using Package Sb-CRF15c whereby 0.25g of the original pulp are analyzed by X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) Spectrometry following a lithium borate fusion with the addition of strong oxidizing agents to decompose sulfide concentrates.

Both analyses are preceded by the preparation package Prep-31Y whereby the entire sample is crushed to 70% passing 2mm, a 250g split is collected by rotary splitter and pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns. Laboratory over-limits analysis methods were applied as required for both Sb and Au. A systematic QAQC protocol was employed that includes systematic insertion in the sample stream of certified reference materials and blank samples at a frequency of 1 in 10, plus analysis of duplicate pulp splits at a frequency of 1 in 30.

David Murray, P.Geo, VP-Exploration for Military Metals and a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 has personally verified the results reported herein against original analytical certificates and drillhole logs. Furthermore Mr. Murray personally inspected the drilling program on two occasions, personally verifying field procedures relating to sample collection, preparation, chain of custody, documentation and the insertion of certified reference materials.

About the Project and Historical Resource

Discovered in the late 1970s, Trojárová was the focus of extensive surface and underground exploration over a 2km strike length from 1983 to 1995, with 63 core holes for a total of 14,330m, and 1.7km of underground workings completed. Efforts continued over the years as additional trenches were dug, and holes were drilled. Starting in 1990, underground development work began ultimately comprising a 300-meter-long adit connected to a 700-plus meter-long drive in the footwall of the mineralized zone with seven crosscuts into the mineralized zone for sampling purposes.

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, including a historical mineral resource estimate (see "Historical Resource Estimates" below).The historical estimate, reports, at a cut-off grade of 1.0% antimony, 2.46 million tonnes at a grade of 2.47% antimony and 0.635 grams per tonne gold in a mineralized zone averaging 3.32 meters in width. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current, and the Company is not treating the historical estimate as current.

The historical estimate related to the Trojárová Property was taken from a compendium produced by the Slovak Geological Survey, completed in March 1992 based on exploration work undertaking in the 1980s and 1990s. It is entitled (English translation): "FINAL JOB REPORT, PEZINOK-TROJAROVA, Geological Survey State Enterprise", report compendium number 78406 (Michel et al, 1992).

The Slovak Geological Institute, the state agency that carried out all exploration and underground development work at Trojárová, classified the historical resources as "P1" and "C2" in the Slovak version of the Russian classification system. In this Soviet system C2 resources are characterized as having a low level of certainty and described as inferred based on widely spaced samples or geological extrapolation. P1 resources in the soviet classification are characterized as speculative and described as prognostic resources, theoretical and based on regional geology. These are closest within the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy & Petroleum's ("CIM") classification system to "inferred mineral resources," which is defined by the CIM as that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence gathered through appropriate sampling techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes.

The historical work carried out appears comprehensive, detailed and at a professional standard. The Company considers this historical data to be relevant as the Company will use these data as a guide to plan future exploration programs. The Company also considers the data to be reliable for these purposes.

The Company notes that the 2025 drilling campaign, the results of which are being reported herein and in prior news releases, constitutes more recent data available to the Company than the historical estimate being discussed. SLR Consulting is currently conducting work toward a current mineral resource estimate under NI 43-101, which the Company anticipates being completed by the end of March 2026. In addition to the 2025 drill program, this work has involved already completed efforts required to verify or upgrade the historical estimate as a current mineral resource under NI 43-101.including translation and digitization of historical reports, surveying of historical drillhole collars, mapping and 3d rendering of underground workings, sampling of underground workings and historical dumps, and constructing a comprehensive 3d deposit model
