What is the planned focus of the Phase 2 drilling?

Approximately 2,000 m is allocated to the Lundberg deposit, which Canterra describes as the largest copper-zinc resource in the district. The company plans to complete at least 6,000 m of exploration drilling across satellite deposits and high-priority targets including Lemarchant, Boomerang, Long Lake and Tulks. The source states that these plans are forward-looking and may not be achieved.

What is the status of the Lundberg mineral resource estimate?

Results from Phase 2 are expected to contribute to Canterra's maiden mineral resource estimate for the Lundberg deposit, targeted for Q4 2026. The company describes this as a target rather than a completed estimate, and its cautionary statement says actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated.

What drilling results and technical assumptions are referenced?

The release refers to recently completed drilling that returned 57.15 metres grading 0.57% CuEq1,2, and previous drilling in the Two Level zone that returned 5.35 metres grading 6.77% CuEq1,2. The source estimates true widths at ~80-90% of reported core lengths. It defines Copper Equivalent % using copper, lead, zinc, silver and gold grades, recoveries and metal prices, with the stated prices dated May 6, 2026.

How is Canterra using historical data and VRIFY technology?

Canterra says it has integrated historical drilling, geological, geophysical, geochemical and lithogeochemical data into a district-wide exploration platform. In collaboration with Hard Rock Geophysics and technical advisors, it has combined this dataset with VRIFY's DORA AI-assisted prospectivity modelling to prioritise drill targets around satellite deposits and along the same mineralised trend as the former Buchans and Duck Pond mines. The source does not establish that this approach will produce new discoveries or resource growth.

What funding has Canterra received from warrant and option exercises?

Since September 2025, the company says it has received total gross proceeds of $1,129,834.51 from common share purchase warrant and stock option exercises. This consists of $961,336.25 from warrant exercises, including exercises by directors, insiders and major shareholders, and $168,498.26 from option exercises by consultants and contractors. Canterra says the proceeds provide additional flexibility for its exploration and development programmes, but the source also identifies the anticipated use of proceeds as forward-looking information.

What are the principal risks and uncertainties identified in the release?

The release identifies risks associated with possible accidents and other mineral exploration operations; unanticipated geological factors; an inability to secure permitting and other governmental clearances; insufficient funds to carry out business plans; and political uncertainties or regulatory or legal changes. It states that there can be no assurances that forward-looking statements will prove accurate, that actual results and future events could differ materially, and that readers should not place undue reliance on them.
