FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 3, 2026

Micromem Technologies Inc. Provides Corporate Update

Toronto, Ontario and New York, New York, February 3, 2026 - Micromem Technologies Inc. ("Micromem" or the "Company") (CSE: MRM, OTCQB: MMTIF) is pleased to provide a corporate update and an outline of its strategic priorities as the Company enters the 2026 calendar year.

Micromem continues to advance its proprietary nanotechnology and sensor platforms, expanding focus from oil and gas industry specific to now include defence and industrial systems on a commercially viable technology base.

The Company's collaboration with the Defence Research and Development Canada ("DRDC") and the University of Toronto ("U of T") provides Micromem with AI powered nanowire technology. Over the past year, the Company has refined its technological roadmap to better align development efforts with end-user requirements, scalability, and near-term commercialization potential. This includes enhanced detection capability and a smaller, lower cost hardware footprint.

This collaboration provides Micromem with access to new markets and a wider range of applications. Technology being developed to detect chemical weapons deployment can be modified for commercial applications in the oil and gas sector, in environmental monitoring, industrial output monitoring and border security. The high sensitivity of nanowire technology, with the enhancement of AI, and coupled with machine learning, will allow for multiple applications that Micromem can now pursue.

Micromem's focus in 2026 will include intellectual property protection and engagement with the Department of National Defence and the DRDC to deliver a finished product for applications in the field. Meetings with the DRDC begin the week of February 9th to discuss the development of a "wearable version" of the biochemical sensor platform developed at U of T. The Company is concentrating on applications where its technology offers measurable performance advantages and where customer-driven validation can accelerate adoption.

Strategic Priorities in 2026:

As the Company enters the new year, it focusses on the following initiatives:

• Strengthening intellectual property protection and technical performance benchmarking

• Advancing core nanowire-based sensor technologies toward defined end-use requirements

• Working with commercial and institutional stakeholders to guide development and validation

• Targeting dual-use applications, enabling technologies developed for advanced systems to transition into broader commercial markets

The Company expects to provide further updates as technical milestones are achieved and strategic initiatives progress throughout 2026.
