The relationship between the San Francisco 49ers and wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has seemingly fizzled out.

Niners general manager John Lynch said during a Jan. 21 news conference that Aiyuk has most likely ‘played his last snap’ for San Francisco.

‘The plan in terms of the transaction, that will come in due time, (but) I think it’s safe to say that he’s played his last snap with the Niners,’ Lynch said. ‘It’s unfortunate, you know, situation that just went awry. I will look long and hard at what could have been done differently, but sometimes (it) just doesn’t work out. And I think this was a case where that happened.’

Aiyuk, 27, was placed on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list and missed the entire 2025 season, including postseason games, due to injuries sustained to his ACL and MCL in Week 7 of the 2024 NFL season.

At some point during the course of the season, Aiyuk’s relationship with the organization went awry. Lynch said he wasn’t sure what led to the fallout with Aiyuk.

‘I wish I knew,’ Lynch said. ‘I can’t help you there. Sorry.’

When asked if there had been communication with Aiyuk, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters ‘there was, but not anymore.’

‘I say it officially stopped for me when last time I tried to get ahold of him and couldn’t,’ Shanahan said. ‘Then tried a couple more times and still couldn’t, and then that matched everyone else that was trying to get ahold of him and couldn’t. Eventually there’s not much of an explanation, because it’s really hard for us and anyone else to understand.’

Shanahan called the situation ‘unfortunate’ and added that he’d never had an experience like this in his 22 years of coaching.

‘It’s confusing, because it’s confusing for all of us,’ Shanahan told reporters. ‘But it eventually becomes, ‘it is what it is’ and you try as hard as you can to fix something that you don’t understand. It’s not like we understand it very well still, but eventually you understand that it’s not going to change and you got to move on with your football team, which is always the most important thing.’

So, what’s next? Lynch said he’d consider trading for a new wide receiver.

‘We’ll explore anything to make our football team better. I think we’ve shown that,’ Lynch told reporters. ‘We’re going to get together and we’re going to put together our plan like we do each and every year. … We’re open to anything that’s going to make our team better.’

Brandon Aiyuk timeline with 49ers

2020

Aiyuk was selected by the 49ers with the 25th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. Aiyuk was drafted out of Arizona State, and before that he played at Sierra College, a junior college in Rocklin, California.

He recorded 60 catches for 748 yards and five touchdowns, appearing in 12 games, in his rookie season. He also ran for two touchdowns in his first year.

2021

In his sophomore season, Aiyuk started 16 games but played in all 17. He finished with 56 catches, 826 yards and five touchdowns.

During a Week 10 game against the Los Angeles Rams, Aiyuk became the fifth-fastest player in franchise history (21 games) to reach 1,000 career receiving yards.

2022

Aiyuk played and started all 17 games in 2022. He recorded his first 1,000-yard season in his third campaign with the 49ers.

He finished with 78 receptions for 1,015 yards and a career-high eight touchdowns.

2023

The 49ers picked up Aiyuk’s fifth-year option on his rookie contract and he followed his 2022 campaign with another 1,000-yard season in 2023.

Aiyuk became the fifth 49ers player to record back-to-back 1,000-yard receiving seasons, joining Jerry Rice (1986-96), Terrell Owens (2000-03), Anquan Boldin (2013-14) and tight end George Kittle (2018-19).

Aiyuk finished the regular season with 75 catches, 1,342 yards and seven touchdowns. His performance earned him second team All-Pro honors.

He then helped the 49ers capture the NFC championship, beating the Detroit Lions 34-31 in the conference title game as he recorded three catches, 68 yards and a touchdown. The 49ers lost the Super Bowl in overtime to the Kansas City Chiefs, 25-22.

2024

Aiyuk signed a four-year, $120 million contract extension with the 49ers.

Unfortunately, he had his 2024 season cut short after he tore his ACL and MCL during a Week 7 loss in a Super Bowl rematch with the Chiefs. He missed the remainder of the season.

Aiyuk finished the season with 25 catches and 374 yards.

2025

Aiyuk went into his sixth NFL season on the PUP list as he recovered from his ACL and MCL injuries.

In November, San Francisco voided all guarantees in Aiyuk’s contract due to lack of communication and failure to complete the deal, according to The Athletic’s Dianna Russini and Michael Silver. They reported that Aiyuk ‘failed to attend meetings and declined to participate in other team activities.’

Aiyuk told the NFL Players Association that he wouldn’t file a grievance in contest.

He was placed on the reserve/left squad list in December.

That same month, Aiyuk posted a video of himself to his YouTube account that showed him driving past the 49ers home stadium, Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, at high speeds exceeding 90 mph, once topping 100 mph, through intersections. The speed limit in that area is 25 mph.

2026

Niners general manager John Lynch says that Aiyuk likely ‘played his last snap’ as a 49er.

If there’s anyone who can relate to Sean Payton about now – the Denver Broncos coach is navigating a sudden crisis with quarterback Bo Nix knocked out of the AFC championship game with a season-ending fractured bone in his right ankle – it is Bill Parcells.

The Hall of Fame coach, aka ‘The Tuna,’ guided the New York Giants to a Super Bowl 25 crown with backup quarterback Jeff Hostetler replacing Phil Simms for the stretch run after Simms, ironically, went down with a broken right foot in Week 15 of the 1990 season.

Now, 35 years later, Payton’s team is one victory from advancing to Super Bowl 60, needing backup Jarrett Stidham to, well, turn into a modern-day Hostetler.

That Parcells is Payton’s wise mentor, adds another layer to the plot.

‘I’ve spoken with him. He’s ready to go,’ Parcells told USA TODAY Sports on Tuesday.

Parcells knows all too well how Payton, as New Orleans Saints coach, handled the adversity of losing Drew Brees for five games in 2019 with a torn ligament in his right thumb. Enter Teddy Bridgewater. With Payton pushing the buttons, the Saints went 5-0 without the centerpiece of one of the NFL’s most explosive offenses.

That experience for Payton won’t hurt now.

‘It speaks for itself,’ Parcells grumbled. ‘He’s already been through it. He went through it with Brees. So, he’s done it. He knows what he’s doing.’

It was a given that Payton tapped the Tuna this week, with the New England Patriots coming to Empower Field for the showdown on Sunday. Payton was Parcells’ assistant head coach for three seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, beginning in 2003, before landing his first head coaching job with the Saints. They have remained close over the years, and Payton is hardly shy in expressing his reverence for Parcells, 84, vouching for the influence he has had on his coaching philosophy and style.

And their bond is wrapped in enormous success. Payton ranks 11th on the all-time list for NFL coaching victories (194, including postseason) passing his mentor earlier this season. Parcells is 16th with 183 wins and is one of 14 coaches to win multiple Super Bowls.

In addition to football strategy, the Tuna’s psychological methods surely rubbed off on the Broncos coach. Parcells, for example, was one who would set out mousetraps in the locker room to remind players not to fall into a trap. Payton’s been known to use gas cans as a prop, the message being that they had better not run out of gas.

And Lord knows, like Parcells, Payton, 62, can set a tone with crankiness.

There’s even an inspirational Parcells quote displayed in the hallway of the team’s headquarters, as noted by The Denver Post, that reads: Don’t ever let good enough be good enough.

What a great resource to tap into while in the throes of crisis. If I’m Payton, I’m asking my mentor to take me back to messaging he had for his Giants squad – which included the likes of Lawrence Taylor, Carl Banks, Joe Morris and Mark Bavaro – when Simms suffered his season-ending injury.

If I’m not Payton, I’m asking, too.

‘This is literally what I did: I said, ‘Look, we’re not going to lose or not have a chance to play for a championship because of Jeff Hostetler,” Parcells said. ”It’s going to be one of you other guys.’

‘I used a different word for ‘other guys,’ by the way. It begins with mother, okay? I said, ‘It will be one of you ‘other-blanks’ that screws up something that keeps us out. But he won’t do it. He’ll be ready to go.”

Fast-forward to the present and the gist of those team-oriented, tough-love words from Parcells a generation ago might resonate with the cast surrounding Stidham. In other words, dropped passes, missed blocks, blown coverages and needless penalties, for instance, would be no way to support the fill-in quarterback.

Then there’s a key difference. Hostetler, in his fifth season as Simms’ backup, had an opportunity to ramp up to the pressure-packed postseason. He started the final two regular-season games, and the Giants opened the playoffs with a rout. They won the NFC championship game at San Francisco against the 49ers and the Super Bowl against the Buffalo Bills by a combined total of three points.

Stidham, on the other hand, hasn’t thrown a pass in a real game since 2023. There is no ramp-up acclimation. He is immediately thrown into the fire with a Super Bowl berth at stake. A seventh-year pro, ‘Stiddy,’ as he’s called, was one of Payton’s first free agent signings when the coach arrived in 2023. While there’s undoubtedly a comfort level for Stidham in Payton’s system and vice versa, the minimal action equates to a huge unknown.

‘In fairness to what you’ve seen, which is very limited, he’s ready,’ said Payton, mindful that Stidham sparkled during the preseason and presumably on the practice field. ‘I feel like I have a (No.) 2 (quarterback) that’s capable of starting for a number of teams. I know he feels the same way. So, watch out. Just watch.’

For all Payton has done to establish a culture, revamp personnel and bring winning results during his three seasons, Nix’s injury suddenly poses a challenge that could reveal the level of completeness for this mix. The Broncos absorbed the $85 million salary cap hit for cutting Russell Wilson. They have assembled one of the NFL’s best defenses. They dethroned the Kansas City Chiefs as nine-time defending AFC West champs. They earned the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs and won the franchise’s first postseason game in a decade.

Now this. Nix underwent surgery on Tuesday.

Sure, he’s been clutch. Including Sunday, Nix led the Broncos to an NFL-high eight victories this season after trailing in the fourth quarter. Then again, it’s never about just one player and Payton is one of the NFL’s winningest coaches for a reason. There are always adjustments, always fires to put out.

This week, the agenda for Payton and staff, including coordinator Joe Lombardi, is to craft the best plan possible that is tailored to Stidham. That’s not to be confused with reinventing the wheel.

‘It’s almost business as usual,’ Parcells said. ‘Maybe you might have something in there that you’ve seen him do well in practice, on a couple of particular routes that he likes maybe better than (Nix) did. It’s just things like that. You’ve got to talk to the player, too. Find out what he’s confident about, what he feels like. So, you spend a little time doing that prior to making your game plan.’

Parcells’ pupil will surely check those boxes. And then some. Payton will also bring the mindset that the mission is hardly impossible.

USA TODAY Sports released its latest ‘Milan Magic’ episode covering the 2026 Winter Olympics. In preparation for the Milano Cortina Winter Games, ‘Milan Magic’ hosts Christine Brennan and Brian Boitano — an Olympic gold medal champion figure skater — are covering all topics regarding the games extensively and sitting down with Winter Olympics legends in order to get a behind-the-scenes look at these remarkable winter events.

After an enthralling conversation with ‘Quad God’ Ilia Malinin, the duo have returned, now speaking with 1976 Olympic gold medalist Dorothy Hamill, an icon of the figure skating world.

Hamill did far more than win in the Olympics though. She also won the 1976 World Championships in Gothenburg, Sweden, after winning silver each of the two years prior. She is a four-time United States champion as well (1969, 1974-76).

Despite being diagnosed with osteoarthritis at 40 years old and suffering from chronic back pain. Hamill continued to participate in skating events and shows until 2013.

Hamill spoke on numerous topics including the pressure facing most Olympic figure skaters as they take the ice. She even recalled a time when competing in Munich where the home crowd didn’t appreciate the marks given to the German skater before Hamill, prompting a cascade of boos as Hamill took the ice. Hamill said, ‘I just wanted to get it over with.’ Boitano expanded, recalling that Hamill’s father needed to come over to her to calm her down before she skated, and that Hamill’s toughness to be able to perform one of the greatest routines of her life to that point as boos rained down was one of the best moments of Hamill’s career.

Hamill also took time to discuss the difference in figure skating between now and when she competed.

‘It’s a whole new sport,’ Hamill said. She specifically praised Alysa Liu, the gold medal winner at the 2025 World Championships. Liu contemplated retiring at just 16 years old, even taking a two-year hiatus from the sport in order to experience life outside of her sport.

‘I just have so much admiration for her,’ stated Hamill. ‘In figure skating, if you take two weeks off…I could never do anything, so it’s really special.’

Liu will be participating in the 2026 Olympics after a strong performance at the U.S. championships.

Another aspect of the sport that has changed so drastically since Hamill’s time as a competitor is the involvement of social media.

‘I never had to deal with that,’ Hamill said. ‘For me, if there was even one bad review in the newspaper, that was the only thing I could remember. And that would stick with me forever.’

Hamill’s advice to young skaters is to stay away from social media as much as possible. Even in the accolades, there can be negative connotations that will stick with athletes. She notes that people often tend to look for criticisms while drowning out praise and that can have seriously negative effects on competitors ahead of big competitions.

Those words of wisdom from Hamill and much more are available to ‘Milan Magic’ listeners. You can listen to USA TODAY’s podcast on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Watch full episodes on YouTube or on USA TODAY.

Connor McDavid, Nikita Kucherov, Nathan MacKinnon, Macklin Celebrini and Leon Draisaitl are making multi-point outings appear easier than tying skates. 

McDavid and MacKinnon lead with 27, Kucherov has 25, and Celebrini and Draisaitl trail with 20.

A total of 25 NHL players have at least 15 multi-point games heading into play on Wednesday, Jan. 21, and 16 players have at least five games with three points each.

Their otherworldly production creates an ideal opportunity to look at and celebrate the five active players with the most multi-point games over their storied careers. Of this top five, only one sits in the top 10 among all players, active or not.

Most multi-point games among active NHL players

5. Connor McDavid 

McDavid has 356 multi-point outings in 763 career games. He has notched at least two points in about 47% of the games he’s played. That’s 10 percentage points higher than Sidney Crosby.

Only Mario Lemieux (54%) and Wayne Gretzky (55%) scored two or more points at a higher rate than No. 97. 

The Oilers captain also has the most multi-point games in a season among active players, reaching 45 twice.

4. Patrick Kane

Patrick Kane, the highest-scoring active American player, has 362 multi-point outings in 1,337 games. While he doesn’t rack up multi-point games as he did during his glory days with the Chicago Blackhawks, Kane has amassed at least two points at a 27% clip.

Unlike McDavid, you don’t have to worry too much about Kane’s stat changing quickly, as he has eight multi-point games this season and just one in the previous 11 matches. 

Kane’s career best of 31 multi-point games occurred in 2018-19. 

3. Evgeni Malkin

Evgeni Malkin only trails Crosby and Lemieux on the Pittsburgh Penguins’ multi-point outings chart, with 369 in 1,246 games.

He scores at least two points in about 30% of the games he plays. His most multi-point games in a season was 32 in 2008-09, when he also secured a career-high 113 points. 

Malkin got off to a prolific start this season, securing six multi-point outings in the opening 10 games. However, he has just three in the 23 games since. 

2. Alex Ovechkin

The second Russian on this list, Alex Ovechkin, sits 11th all-time in multi-point outings, with 463. He’s seven behind 10th-place Ron Francis.

Having played 1,541 games, Ovechkin gets at least two points in about 30% of his games. He accumulated the most multi-point outings during the 2009-10 season (35) despite playing only 72 games. 

While slowing down is a byproduct of the aging process, the 40-year-old continues to play at a remarkably high level. He has 12 multi-point outings in 2025-26.

1. Sidney Crosby 

Crosby is fifth all-time for players with the most multi-point games. No. 87 has 512 multi-point outings in 1,400 games and sits behind Mark Messier (513), Marcel Dionne (513), Jaromir Jagr (540) and Gretzky (824).

The Penguins’ captain secures multi-point outings at a roughly 37% clip, and his best season came in 2006-07, when he finished with 38 multi-point outings in 79 games. 

He has 19 in 48 games so far this season, equating to a 40% rate.

Astral Resources NL (ASX: AAR) (Astral or the Company) is pleased to report assay results received from a 17-hole reverse circulation (RC) drill program for 2,954 metres completed at the Kamperman Deposit, part of its 100%-owned Feysville Gold Project (Feysville), located ~14km south of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia (Figure 1).

HIGHLIGHTS

Feysville Project

  • Assay results received for 17 RC holes (2,954m) drilled recently at Kamperman, part of the 100%-owned Feysville Gold Project in WA. The program tested a variety of targets designed both to increase the Mineral Resource and improve understanding of the deposit, with a specific focus on high-grade zones. Best results include:
    • 14m at 6.79g/t Au from 192m including 2m at 23.8g/t Au from 193m (FRC463)
    • 13m at 6.60g/t Au from 44m including 1m at 57.6g/t Au from 46m and 1m at 10.9g/t Au from 48m, 4m at 2.06g/t Au from 62m and 4m at 3.81g/t Au from 88m (FRC457)
    • 21m at 3.11g/t Au from 115m including 1m at 13.4g/t Au from 132m (FRC460)
    • 15m at 3.70g/t Au from 123m including 1m at 16.4g/t Au from 124m and 1m at 21.1g/t Au from 135m, 6m at 2.79g/t Au from 158m, 23m at 2.57g/t Au from 180m including 3m at 13.7g/t Au from 197m and 3m at 2.57g/t Au from 208m (FRC452)
    • 14m at 2.66g/t Au from 179m (FRC461)
    • 27m at 0.78g/t Au from 21m and 25m at 1.68g/t Au from 50m including 1m at 11.7g/t Au from 59m and 1m at 10.5g/t Au from 62m (FRC453)
    • 6m at 4.10g/t Au from 210m including 1m at 13.4g/t Au from 212m (FRC454)
  • The drill program has confirmed the presence of north-west striking high-grade gold mineralisation that is not currently included in the Kamperman Mineral Resource model, as well as confirming depth extensions to the southern lode and additional high-grade mineralisation in the footwall of the southern lode.
Mandilla Project
  • A 4-hole (1,641m) DD program has been completed on the eastern flank of the Theia deposit, part of the 100%-owned Mandilla Gold Project. The drill program was designed to test for a potential steeply dipping sub-parallel mineralised structure to the east of Theia. Best results include:
    • 4.15m at 33.2g/t Au from 164.3m including 0.5m at 269.6g/t Au from 165m, 12.13m at 1.29g/t Au from 173.87m including 0.3m at 23.4g/t Au from 173.87m and 1.79m at 6.21g/t Au from 253.47m including 0.58m at 17.6g/t Au from 253.82m (AMRCD140)
    • 0.3m at 30.7g/t Au from 336.26m (AMRCD139)
  • Quartz, pyrite and visible gold1 were intersected in each of the four holes, confirming the potential for Theia to host additional mineralised structures.
  • A 3-hole (775.6-m) DD program was also completed at Theia. The program was designed to target a previously intersected “230 Shear” structure. Drilling successfully intersected this distinct, narrow high-grade shear zone with best results including:
    • 1.57m at 22.8g/t Au from 168.59m including 0.6m at 59.2g/t Au from 169.56m, 7.12m at 1.42g/t Au from 175.08m including 0.3m at 25.9g/t Au from 175.51m, 8.73m at 0.95g/t Au from 222.44m and 4.90m at 1.28g/t Au from 259m including 0.3m at 13.7g/t Au from 262.07m (AMRCD137)
    • 2.27m at 4.94g/t Au from 161m including 0.47m at 22.8g/t Au from 161.93m and 5.33m at 1.08g/t Au from 202.85m (AMRCD138)

Astral Resources’ Managing Director Marc Ducler said: “The assay results from the recent RC program at Feysville have demonstrated the excellent potential for both the overall gold grade and the deposit size at Kamperman to increase.

“The program was highly successful in achieving its aims to extend interpreted high-grade gold zones beyond the existing Mineral Resource.

“The centrally located drill-hole, FRC457, returned an outstanding intercept of 13m at 6.60g/t Au, representing a very successful extension to a north-west striking high-grade ore shoot which appears to be projecting beyond the current deposit limits.

“Drill-hole FRC463 also returned a spectacular high-grade intercept. Drilled south and well beyond the current Resource testing for a south-plunging ore zone at depth, drilling successfully intersected 14m at 6.79g/t Au from 192m, to confirm one of our deepest zones of high-grade gold mineralisation so far and providing us with a hint of the greater potential still remaining at Kamperman.

“Over the Christmas period, Astral received notice from the DMPE of the grant of our Mining Licence application over areas of Feysville. This marks an important step as we progress towards submission of the Mining Proposal and execution of a JV agreement with Mineral Mining Services for the development of the Think Big Gold Mine. This would establish an early revenue opportunity for Astral against the backdrop of record gold prices to assist with securing overall development funding for the Mandilla Gold Project.

“Meanwhile at the cornerstone Theia deposit at Mandilla, we received assay results from two diamond drill programs, with further outstanding high-grade intercepts recorded.

“The first, a 3-hole program targeting the “230 Shear”, returned results such as 1.57m at 22.7g/t Au and 2.27m at 4.94g/t Au in separate holes, confirming the presence of this discrete, narrow, high-grade shear zone which strikes through the main Theia deposit.

“Importantly the shear, intersected in all three holes, remains mineralised at depth, with the potential to delineate additional sub-parallel repeats both within and extensional to Theia.

“A second 4-hole diamond drill program tested a potential steeply dipping sub-parallel structure to the east of Theia. As an initial positive sign visible gold was logged in all four holes, with a best result including a very high-grade intersection of 4.15m at 33.2g/t Au from 164.3m in hole AMDRCD137.

“Following our successful capital raise completed in December, Astral has funds on hand to maintain an aggressive exploration focus and complete the Mandilla DFS targeting a Final Investment Decision – all while maintaining a significant component of the equity requirement for development of the Mandilla Gold Project.

“Astral has ramped up exploration activities for 2026 with three drill rigs (2 RC and 1 DD rig) currently operating on site.”

Jindalee Lithium Limited (Jindalee, or the Company; ASX: JLL, OTCQX: JNDAF) is pleased to report assay results from the drilling program at the McDermitt Lithium Project completed late 2025.

  • All holes returned strong lithium and magnesium intercepts from shallow depths, including:
    • R92: 36.5m @ 1951 ppm Li & 5.23% Mg from 24.5m
    • R93: 15.5m @ 1456 ppm Li & 5.45% Mg from 3.6m
    • R94: 66.0m @ 1599 ppm Li & 4.12% Mg from 0.4m
    • R95: 110.6m @ 1519 ppm Li & 4.80% Mg from 23.0m
    • R96: 20.1m @ 1514 ppm Li & 5.29% Mg from 0.4m
  • Three holes twinning earlier RC holes confirmed good correlation with RC results
  • High-quality core samples retained for metallurgical testwork (lithium and magnesium)

Background

On 3 December 2025 Jindalee announced the completion of a large diameter core drilling program at the Company’s 100% owned McDermitt Lithium Project1 (McDermitt, Project), one of the largest lithium deposits in the United States (US) and of global significance2 (Figure 1).

The program comprised five PQ3 (8.5cm diameter) core holes designed to obtain samples for metallurgical testwork to further optimise lithium recoveries, as well as unlock value from the significant magnesium endowment at McDermitt, via the value optimisation program announced late October 20253. The drilling also provided valuable geological and geotechnical data on the deposit, with three of the holes collared to twin reverse circulation (RC) holes drilled in 2021 and 20224.

Discussion

All five holes returned strong lithium and magnesium intercepts from shallow depths as summarised above and in Annexure A. Three holes (R94, R95 and R96) were collared to twin RC holes drilled previously by Jindalee (MDRC-24, MDRC-21 and MDRC-22 respectively), with assays from the recent core holes showing good correlation with the RC results (refer Table 1). Jindalee will now undertake detailed geostatistical analysis to further evaluate the relationship between the results from RC and core drilling to help determine the optimal drilling methods for future programs.

Strengthened Technical Team to Advance Ishkōday

LAURION has strategically strengthened its technical leadership to support disciplined advancement at the Ishkōday Gold-Polymetallic Project. Pierre-Jean Lafleur and Ali Ben Ayad (Structural-Geophysicist) will lead the integration and synthesis of LAURION’s geological, geophysical, and drilling datasets to refine the A-Zone geological envelope, develop robust 3D wireframes, and establish the technical foundation required for future resource-definition work under NI 43-101.

In parallel, Rogerio Monteiro of Vektore will contribute advanced structural interpretation and grade-vectoring analysis to support the prioritization of step-out targets with potential to extend known mineralization, with initial emphasis on the Sturgeon River Mine area and broader Ishkōday corridor. Vektore’s proprietary spatial-analytic framework transforms grade information into directionally weighted vector fields, supporting early-stage identification of structural trends and high-probability concentration zones.

 

This work will be closely coordinated with Ronacher McKenzie Geoscience (RMG) and LAURION’s internal exploration team to ensure disciplined execution, continuity of interpretation, and alignment across technical workstreams.

Guidance on Timing of NI 43-101 Technical Reports

 

While LAURION is working toward the technical foundation required to support an eventual NI 43-101 compliant technical report expressing a mineral resource estimate (‘MRE’), potentially followed by a subsequent technical report disclosing a preliminary economic assessment (‘PEA’), the Company is not providing guidance on timing of either of these technical objectives. Progress toward an MRE and PEA will depend on multiple factors, including ongoing refinement of geological and structural models, the definition of mineralized continuity through further work and drilling where required, and access to financing to execute the necessary programs. Accordingly, references to NI 43-101 technical reports should be regarded as an ongoing technical objective of the Company, not an indication that the completion dates for an MRE and PEA can be accurately predicted at this stage.

 

LAURION believes the appointment of Pierre-Jean as its new Qualified Person further strengthens the Company’s technical leadership as it continues developing Ishkōday.

Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects and its Companion Policy 43-101CP with an effective date of January 6, 2026.

The report was co-authored by Ronacher McKenzie Geosciences Inc. who conducted a site visit in 2025 to verify work completed since the 2021 season that has been reported by WLR which included a drill program in 2022, a minor sampling program on the Silver Hart claims in 2024, completion of a trenching program and minor reconnaissance efforts on the adjoining and acquired Blue Heaven claims in 2024, and reclamation programs on all of the claims in 2023 and 2024.

Subject to financing WLR intends to conduct drilling, socio-economic, environmental and engineering studies and initiate a Preliminary Economic Assessment of the Silver Hart Project in 2026.

The CIM Standards require that an estimated mineral resource must have reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction. A summary of the SHP mineral resource economic and technical parameters and/or assumptions is presented in Table 1 below. A pit-shell was optimized based on silver equivalent values calculated using the economic parameters in the table.

Note: Rec. = metallurgical recovery. AgEq=Silver Equivalent.

Block grade interpolation was performed using the ordinary kriging (OK) technique. The estimated pit constrained mineral resources were classified as Inferred, despite some close drill hole spacing in some zones and the continuity of mineralization as confirmed by variography, mainly because of the lack of substantiated metal recoveries and suspect collar surveys. Table 2 summarizes the update MRE fpr the Silver Hart Project effective as at January 6, 2026.

Notes:

1.

The effective date of this mineral resource statement is January 6, 2026.

2.

The qualified person responsible for this Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) is Charley Murahwi, M.Sc., P.Geo., FAusIMM.

3.

The mineral resources have been estimated in accordance with the CIM Best Practice Guidelines (2019) and the CIM Definition Standards (2014)

4.

Ordinary Kriging (OK) interpolation was used with a single block size of 5m x 5m x 5m.

5.

The Economic & Technical parameters/assumptions are summarized in Table 1.1 above.

6.

The mineral resource results are presented in-situ within the optimized pit. Mineralized material outside the pit has not been considered as a part of the current MRE.

7.

The tonnes and metal contents are rounded to reflect that the numbers are an estimate and any discrepancies in the totals are due to the rounding effects.

8.

Mineral resources unlike mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

The report also noted that:

  • All the deposits remain open along strike in both directions and down dip, and, in particular, the largest deposit (KL zone). The likelihood of some of the deposits merging (i.e., K to KL, TM main to H and S to M) cannot be ruled out if a program of step out and infill drilling is implemented.
  • The growth potential for the mineral resource is satisfactory as the deposits remain open for expansion in all directions (i.e., strike in both directions and down dip).
  • Prospects for growing the resource via new discoveries appear favorable based on the fact that several known mineral occurrences and anomalies within the Silver Hart and the adjacent Blue Heaven claims remain to be test drilled for resource evaluation.
  • The early initial metallurgical tests completed previously in 1986 and, in 2006, do not have substantiated documentation regarding representativity and location of the samples and, thus, the need for a fresh start is warranted. Nonetheless, the general response of lead, zinc and silver to flotation in those early tests was generally positive.

The NI-43-101 MRE report has been filed on its SEDAR+ profile and will soon be published on the Company’s website at www.walkerlaneresources.com

Kevin Brewer, President and CEO of WLR, commented ‘The MRE is a major milestone in our exploration efforts at Silver Hart. The MRE was estimated at prices much lower than current spot metal prices, which if used in the silver equivalent calculation in the MRE calculation result in an improved silver equivalent grade. You can do the math. As a result, WLR now intends to advance our evaluation of this project to consider a production decision in the short term. Mineralization in all of the zones in the Silver Hart Project start at surface and therefore are expected to be amenable to small scale open pit mining. WLR and its predecessor company CMC Metals Ltd. have been working on this project for 20 years and it is now prepped to take the project to the next stage.’

Next Steps – Highlights of Proposed 2026 Exploration Program and Preparation of a Preliminary Economic Assessment

Walker Lane Resources Ltd. also announced that it is preparing to commence planning for the next stage of its exploration program and evaluation of the Silver Hart Project which will contribute to a potential development decision for the project.

Subject to financing, WLR intends to:

  • Complete 1,500-2,000 meters of exploration drilling to (i) extend the resources on the TM Zone (ii) to conduct infill drilling in the TM Zone with the objective of converting a majority of the inferred resources to indicated resources.
  • Conduct 1,000-1,500 meters of exploratory drilling on known areas of mineralization on the Blue Heaven claims.
  • Metallurgical testing including pre-concentration (ore sorting / dense heavy media separation) assessments.
  • Conduct additional environmental and socio-economic studies to support a possible development application for the project. This is expected to include examining opportunities for partnerships with local First Nations.
  • Initiate a Preliminary Economic Assessment of the project which will include preliminary engineering and a preliminary transportation/logistics analysis.

Qualified Persons

The resource evaluation work was completed by Mr. Charley Murahwi, M.Sc. P.Geo., FAusIMM and Richard Gowans, B.Sc, P.Eng of MICON International Limited. Mr. Murahwi conducted a personal inspection of the Silver Hart Project on August 17-20, 2021. Dr. Gloria Lopez, PhD, P.Geo. of Ronacher-McKenzie Geosciences Inc. was a contributing author and conducted a personal inspection of the Silver Hart Project on September 16, 2025. This information release has also been reviewed and approved by the Qualified Persons.
