Summit Royalties Ltd. (TSXV: SUM,OTC:SUMMF, OTCQB: SUMMF) (the ‘Corporation’ or ‘Summit’) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement to acquire a 1.0% net smelter return (‘NSR’) royalty on the Saddle North deposit (‘Saddle North’) owned by Newmont Corporation (‘Newmont’) for consideration of C$5 million paid in shares of Summit (‘Common Shares’). The acquisition is subject to conditions precedent which are customary for a transaction of this nature. Subject to satisfaction of conditions precedents, Summit expects to complete the acquisition in the near future.

‘We are excited to announce this proposed acquisition of a large, high-quality royalty on Newmont’s Saddle North project,’ commented Drew Clark, President and CEO of Summit. ‘The acquisition of the Saddle North royalty is highly accretive on a net asset value per share basis and provides exposure to a large gold-copper deposit under the stewardship of the world’s largest gold producer. Having royalty coverage on a porphyry target that boasts nearly 9 Moz of gold and 4.8 Blbs of copper supports our mandate of providing Summit shareholders with high-quality precious metals exposure, and we are excited to have Newmont as the operator of the underlying asset as we continue to build our company on an accretive per-share basis.’

Transaction Key Terms

• Royalty Interest: 1% NSR royalty on the Saddle North deposit
• Owner/Operator: Saddle North is owned by Newmont Corporation
• Consideration: C$5 million, to be paid in 2,832,861 Common Shares at a deemed price of $1.765 per Common Share, being the 20-day weighted average price of the Common Shares as of the date of the royalty purchase agreement for the NSR
• Buyback Option: Newmont may repurchase 50% of the NSR royalty for C$750,000 at any time during the five-year period commencing on the date Saddle North is put into commercial production
• Mineral Resource: The Saddle North Technical Report (as defined herein) reported indicated resources containing approximately 3.47 Moz Au and 1.81 Blbs Cu and inferred resources containing approximately 5.46 Moz Au and 2.98 Blbs Cu⁽¹⁾

Saddle North is a gold-rich copper porphyry deposit located in the Golden Triangle in northwest British Columbia, Canada. Newmont acquired Saddle North in 2021, prior to which Saddle North was owned by GT Gold Corp., which published a maiden mineral resource estimate for the project in 2020 (see Saddle North Technical Report (as defined herein)). The maiden mineral resource estimate in the Saddle North Technical Report includes 1.81 Blbs of copper and 3.47 Moz of gold contained in indicated mineral resource category, and 2.98 Blbs of copper and 5.46 Moz of gold contained in the inferred mineral resource category. Mineralization at Saddle North remains open at depth and to the northwest and southeast, while additional upside potential exists from near-mine exploration success.⁽¹⁾

Saddle North is located in a top-tier mining jurisdiction in the Golden Triangle, with strong access to existing infrastructure, power, and a capable workforce.⁽¹⁾ Saddle North is situated near the Red Chris mine, which is currently operated by Newmont.

The block of six (6) claims and four (4) claims to the south are underlain by the Kiask River Deformation Zone and, when combined with Harvest Gold’s LaBelle property, provide continuous coverage over approximately 33 kilometres of strike length of favourable geology south of the Wilson intrusion (see Figure 1).

Figure 1: Newly Acquired Mineral Claims

With this acquisition, Harvest Gold’s land position in the highly prospective Urban Barry Greenstone Belt now totals 401 mineral claims covering 21,372.81 hectares and over 50 kilometres of strike length of favorable and potentially mineralized structures, strategically located within the Urban Barry Greenstone Belt (See Figure 2).

Rick Mark, President and CEO of Harvest Gold, states: ‘This expansion enhances our strategic footprint in the Urban Barry Greenstone Belt. Importantly, it connects Mosseau and LaBelle and now covers the entirety of the Kiask River Deformation Zone. Historical results and surface showings from only a small portion of the now expanded Mosseau property underscore the strong exploration potential across the largely underexplored, 100% owned land package.

Strategic Expansion of the Mosseau Project

The Claims acquired by Harvest Gold cover 1,356 hectares in the Urban Barry Greenstone Belt of Quebec. The Claims expand the Company’s Mosseau Project along strike, both to the north and south, incorporating areas of favourable geology with documented historical gold and base metal showings. Historical work documented in the government’s database (SIGEOM) has outlined five (5) additional mineral showings in the north part of the Mosseau property, extending into the Toussaint Deformation Zone and three (3) mineral showings to the south, adjoining the Mosseau and LaBelle properties (Figure 1).

Northern Showings within the Toussaint Deformation Zone include:

• Domtar 116 (Blueberry): 4.4% Cu, 46.0 g/t Ag, 1.38 g/t Au over 0.18 m (DDH) 

• Domtar 111 (Beehler Vein): 0.69 g/t Au, 3.09 g/t Ag, 0.22% Cu, 0.23% MoS₂ over 0.61 m (channel sample) and 1.4 g/t Au, 0.86% Cu (grab sample) 

• Rivière Wilson: 1.0 g/t Au (grab sample) 

• Verneuil-BV-92-01: 1.23 g/t Au over 0.27 m (DDH) 

• Verneuil-Serem Est: 1.41 g/t Au over 1.5 m (DDH) 

Southern Showings – Kiask River Deformation Zone

• Lac Labrie: 47.32 g/t Au over 0.3 m (DDH), 22.3 g/t Au over 0.9 m (DDH), 119.67 g/t Au (float sample) 

• Labrie 2: 1.65% Zn, 1.11% Pb (grab samples) 

• Lac Labrie SE: 2.06 g/t Au, 4.46 g/t Ag over 0.61m (DDH) 

The block of six (6) claims and Four (4) claims to the south are underlain by the Kiask River Deformation Zone and, when combined with Harvest Gold’s LaBelle property, provide continuous coverage over approximately 33 kilometres of strike length of favourable geology south of the Wilson intrusion The Audet-Robert claim blocks were purchased from Jean Robert, Les Explorations Carat, 9495-6976 Québec Inc. (the ‘Audet-Robert Vendors‘) and the Gaudreault claim block was purchased from Daniel Gaudreault (the ‘Gaudreault Vendor‘).

Transaction Terms – Audet-Robert Claim Blocks

• $60,000 in cash, with $30,000 payable upon receiving TSX Venture Exchange (the Exchange‘) approval to the transaction and $30,000 payable by June 30th, 2026; 

• 750,000 common shares of the Company (the Shares‘), with one-half (1/2) of the Shares to be issued upon receiving Exchange approval to the transaction and one-half (1/2) of the Shares to be delivered by June 30th, 2026.  The Shares will be subject to a statutory resale restriction period of four months from the date of issuance of the Shares in accordance with Canadian securities laws. 

Transaction Terms – Gaudreault Claim Block
