How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 13, 2026) - Teako Minerals Corp. (CSE: TMIN) (FSE: O8U) (OTC Pink: TMINF) (the "Company" or "Teako") is pleased to provide a Corporate and Portfolio update covering the continued development of its Norwegian project portfolio through its hybrid explorer-project generator model. The Company's business model is centred on exploration and development activities on its core portfolio of copper-zinc Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide ("VMS") projects in central Norway and complemented by a broader polymetallic portfolio in which select projects are advanced by partners through third-party funding arrangements where Teako retains direct exposure to potential future exploration success.

Highlights

• Norwegian Portfolio: Teako currently holds interests in a total of seventy-nine (79) projects covering approximately 5,446 km² across Norway, between both fully-owned and partner-funded projects, providing exposure to a broad basket of commodities, including copper, zinc, silver, gold, rare earth elements ("REE"), tungsten as well as other specialty and critical metals.

• Partner-Funded Portfolio: Nine (9) projects are currently subject to definitive partner-funded agreements, providing Teako with retained exposure to several commodities, including REE, copper, zinc, silver and gold across approximately 345 km² (see Company News Releases dated July 3, 2025 and January 5, 2026).

• Aggregate Partner Exposure: Across its completed partner-funded arrangements, Teako currently retains free carried interests to final investment decision, milestone payments and rights to future sale proceeds with projects being subject to certain exploration expenditures.

• Additional Transactions: A further seven (7) projects covering approximately 406 km² are currently subject to a non-binding letter of intent, which, if completed, would provide additional exposure through additional free carried interests, work commitments and through an equity position (see Company News Release dated July 8, 2026).

• Laboratory Results: Assay results are pending for samples collected from the Tynset and Venna projects during the 2026 field program (see Company News Release dated September 16, 2026). Initiation of the ground geophysics (Induced Polarization or "IP") survey at the Tynset project remains on schedule for mid-October 2026, with priority drill hole definition to be completed during Q4 2026.

• Teako has relinquished its 90% ownership interest in the Løkken district property, Central Norway. The Company retains its larger, 100%-owned portion of the Løkken district property, which will be referred to as the Løkken Ophiolite project going forward.

Portfolio Update

Teako continues to actively manage its strategic Norwegian project portfolio with the objective of concentrating the Company's internal exploration efforts on its main copper-zinc VMS projects while select projects across the broader portfolio provide upside exposure to exploration success through partner-funded arrangements. As of the date of this news release, Teako holds interests in 79 projects across Norway, of which nine (9) are currently subject to definitive partner-funded agreements and seven (7) projects are currently subject to a non-binding letter of intent with MERIDIANA Capital Group GmbH ("MERIDIANA") for a proposed transaction (see Company press release dated July 8, 2026). The Company continues to work with MERIDIANA toward entering into a definitive agreement in respect of the transaction. In parallel, the Company remains in active discussions with other prospective project partners regarding additional projects within its portfolio.

Through its completed and proposed partner arrangements, Teako has retained meaningful exposure to future exploration and development success while reducing the amount of capital required to advance the broader portfolio. This exposure includes, depending on the applicable transaction, free-carried project interests through to final investment decision ("FID"), partner-funded exploration expenditures, milestone consideration, rights to future disposition proceeds, joint-venture provisions upon FID, and exploration-service opportunities, together with contemplated equity exposure under the current letter of intent. The tables below provide an overview of the Company's current Norwegian portfolio, including its main projects, and the retained and contemplated economic upside exposure associated with its completed and contemplated partner-funded projects.

² The proposed transaction involving the seven silver projects remains subject to a non-binding letter of intent with Meridiana Capital Group GmbH (see Company press release dated July 8, 2026). The contemplated terms remain subject to the execution of a definitive agreement, and there can be no assurance that the transaction will be completed on the terms contemplated or at all.

³ The Aggregate Upside Exposure column includes the contemplated terms of the non-binding letter of intent described above and therefore includes amounts and interests that remain subject to the execution of a definitive agreement, which should not be interpreted as representing only definitive or completed agreements.

Teako has entered into a definitive agreement with EMX Scandinavia AB whereby it has relinquished its 90% ownership interest in the Løkken district property, Central Norway, and all related obligations have been terminated. This action is part of the Company's ongoing capital-allocation and portfolio review. The Company retains its larger, 100%-owned portion of the Løkken district property, which will be referred to as the Løkken Ophiolite project going forward. The Løkken Ophiolite covers all of the remaining similar prospective bedrock as the relinquished project area. Going forward, exploration priorities will focus on future expected diamond drilling at the 100%-owned Tynset project, alongside capital-efficient exploration programs at the 100%-owned Løkken Ophiolite and Venna projects aimed at generating additional drill targets.

Next Exploration Steps

The Company is currently awaiting laboratory assay results for all samples collected at the Tynset property during the summer 2026 field program, as well as an initial batch of 51 samples from the Venna project collected during the same program (see Company News Release dated September 16, 2026). The expected Induced Polarization survey on the Storbekken Priority 1 target at the Tynset project is on schedule for mid-October, which together with the geochemical and spectral datasets from the laboratory is anticipated to generate targets for a future expected maiden diamond drill program.

The Company also expects to allocate field crews to undertake work for project partners on a fee-for-services basis when applicable, without compromising the development of its own 100%-owned main projects.

During August 2026 the Company's remaining warrants exercisable at C$0.20 per common share expired unexercised. Following the expiry, the Company has 134,494,828 common shares and 4,700,000 options issued and outstanding, with no warrants remaining outstanding.
