Apollo Silver Corp. (‘ Apollo Silver ‘ or the ‘ Company ‘) (TSX.V:APGO, OTCQB:APGOF, Frankfurt:6ZF) is pleased to announce that the US Department of the Interior has added 10 minerals, including silver, to the US Geological Survey (‘USGS’) 2025 List of Critical Minerals. For the first time, silver is recognized as having growing importance to US economic and national security. This inclusion signals enhanced government focus on securing domestic supply chains through enhanced permitting, subsidies, and strategic stockpiling initiatives.

‘Apollo Silver welcomes the US government’s efforts to strengthen domestic silver mining by placing silver on the USGS List of Critical Minerals,’ stated Ross McElroy, President and CEO of Apollo Silver. ‘This development will not only bring increased investor attention to the sector but will also help boost Apollo’s profile of its Calico Silver Project, which hosts the country’s 2nd largest primary silver deposit in the US. The inclusion of silver on the Critical Minerals List strengthens the project’s case for consideration under the Fast-41 program, a US government initiative aimed at streamlining permitting processes for critical and resource projects. With the US importing 64% of its silver consumption in 2024, this designation emphasizes silver’s strategic value and irreplaceable role across both industrial and defense industries.’

Crypto Market Update: Ripple Raises US$500 Million, Canada Makes Stablecoin Plans

Here’s a quick recap of the crypto landscape for Wednesday (November 5) as of 9:00 p.m. UTC.

Get the latest insights on Bitcoin, Ether and altcoins, along with a round-up of key cryptocurrency market news.

Bitcoin and Ether price update

Bitcoin (BTC) was priced at US$103,902, a 3.3 percent increase in 24 hours and its highest valuation of the day. Bitcoin’s lowest valuation on Wednesday was US$102,377.

Bitcoin price performance, November 5, 2025.

Chart via TradingView.

Both Bitcoin and Ether (ETH) are showing signs of recovery after a volatile start to the week. Current price action is driven by derivatives liquidations, options settlement dynamics and sustained retail and institutional fear.

Ether ended the trading day at US$3,448.04, an increase of 7.5 percent over the last 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$3,326.02. Like Bitcoin, Ether is attempting a rebound near a significant technical and psychological level, but uncertainty remains elevated. The Fear and Greed Index remains in “extreme fear” at 20, reflecting persistent nervousness after long-term holders and whales triggered mass liquidations.

“Market data and technical signals suggest Bitcoin may trade within a US$94,000–US$118,000 range in the near term. The lower bound represents a healthy retracement zone consistent with subdued ETF inflows, while the upper range reflects a measured recovery below the October high near US$125K. Ethereum is likely to move between US$3,000 and US$4,400, supported by Layer-2 expansion and renewed DeFi participation,’ she said via email.

“Overall, the market appears to be stabilizing in a more disciplined, data-driven manner, signaling that confidence is returning through structural resilience and steady capital reallocation.”

Meanwhile, Galaxy’s head of research, Alex Thorn, said that the investment company has lowered its 2025 Bitcoin price forecast from US$185,000 to US$120,000.

Altcoin price update

Solana (SOL) was priced at US$162.69, up by 6.6 percent over the last 24 hours and at its highest valuation of the day. Its lowest was US$157.65.

XRP was trading for US$2.37, up by 9.7 percent over the last 24 hours to its highest valuation of the day. Its lowest was US$2.25.

Crypto derivatives and market indicators

Over the past four hours, Bitcoin has seen liquidations totaling US$16.11 million, mostly in short positions, suggesting a short-covering rally and improving near-term sentiment. Futures open interest is fractionally down 0.15 percent to US$70.17 billion, indicating a minor position reduction after aggressive selling earlier in the week.

The funding rate is neutral at 0.001, signaling balanced sentiment between longs and shorts, while implied volatility remains elevated at 45.9 percent, pointing to continued market uncertainty.

Max pain for options expiry sits at US$104,000, a level that the Bitcoin price is approaching.

Meanwhile, US$27.84 million in Ether options positions, also primarily shorts, have been liquidated in the past four hours, contributing to the uptrend as risk reversals shift. Ether has seen a 1.51 percent increase in open interest to US$40.3 billion, and its funding rate is slightly negative at -0.001, strengthening the bullish undertone.

Bitcoin dominance stands at 57.21 percent.

Today’s crypto news to know

Ripple secures US$500 million boost at US$40 billion valuation

Ripple has raised US$500 million in a new funding round led by Fortress Investment Group and Citadel Securities, valuing the company at US$40 billion. The investment follows Ripple’s US$1 billion tender offer earlier this year at the same valuation, marking a continuation of investor confidence in the firm’s long-term outlook.

Ripple said the funds will strengthen its partnerships with financial institutions and expand its services across custody, stablecoin issuance and crypto treasury management. The company’s RLUSD stablecoin has gained traction for corporate payments amid clearer US regulations under the GENIUS Act. The funding also positions Ripple to deepen its role in global payments as more firms integrate stablecoins into settlement networks.

Canada announces plans to introduce stablecoin legislation

The Canadian government announced as part of its 2025 budget that it plans to introduce legislation regulating fiat-backed stablecoins. The legislation aims to provide a secure, stable framework encouraging the development of Canadian-dollar pegged stablecoins, modernizing payment systems and fostering digital innovation.

The new rules will require stablecoin issuers to maintain sufficient asset reserves to back their digital currencies, safeguard consumer interests and comply with national security standards to protect personal data.

The Bank of Canada will receive C$10 million over two years starting in the 2026 to 2027 period to oversee the new framework, with ongoing costs expected to be covered by stablecoin issuers.

Northern Data exits Bitcoin mining in US$200 million AI transition

Northern Data Group, Europe’s largest Bitcoin-mining company, is divesting its mining arm, Peak Mining, in a deal worth up to US$200 million as it pivots entirely toward artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure. The transaction includes US$50 million in upfront cash and up to US$150 million in performance-based payments tied to future profits.

The move follows the Bitcoin halving this past April, which cut mining revenues in half and accelerated the firm’s strategic shift. The company plans to repurpose its mining facilities in Texas for high-performance AI workloads, which can yield up to 10 times more revenue per megawatt than Bitcoin mining.

The company already owns over 220,000 GPUs through prior acquisitions.

Balancer protocol suffers major exploit

The Balancer DeFi protocol suffered a major exploit on Tuesday (November 3), losing about US$128 million in assets from its V2 Composable Stable Pools due to a precision rounding error and access control flaws in its smart contracts.

According to a report released after the attack, the infiltrator manipulated swap calculations and batch swaps to drain liquidity across multiple blockchains, including Ether, Polygon, Arbitrum and others.

Balancer promptly paused affected pools, confirmed no impact on V3 or other versions, and is collaborating with forensic and security experts to trace and recover funds. So far, US$19.3 million worth of StakeWise osETH has been recovered. Balancer has offered a white hat bounty for full asset return within 48 hours and continues investigating.

Agriculture Market Update: Q3 2025 in Review

Fertilizer prices remained elevated in Q3 compared to both the first half of the year and the end of 2024.

Potash prices surged at the start of the year as the Trump administration threatened tariffs on Canada, the top supplier to US farmers. During the third quarter, prices were 20 percent higher than at the end of last year.

Meanwhile, phosphate prices continued to climb through Q3 on the back of supply shortages, spurred by export restrictions from top producer China. Prices were further influenced by US tariffs.

What happened to phosphate and potash prices in Q3?

According to data from the World Bank, the average quarterly phosphate price rose to US$770.60 per metric ton (MT), up from US$673.20 in Q2, and significantly higher than the annual average of US$563.70 in 2024.

On a monthly basis, phosphate climbed to US$736 in July, then climbed to a three year high of US$795.10 in August. Since then, the price has fallen to US$780.63 in September and US$754 in October.

The quarterly average for potash fell slightly in Q3 to US$352.20 per MT, down from US$359.20 the previous quarter, but remained higher than US$283.90 in the last quarter of 2024.

On a monthly basis, potash prices eased to US$362.50 in July, and continued to fall to US$356.50 in August. They sank further to US$352.50 in September and US$352 in October.

What factors impacted phosphate in Q3?

Phosphate prices have been primarily influenced over the last several years by export restrictions from China, which have declined to 6.6 million MT in 2024 from 9 million MT in 2021. The restrictions were put in place to protect the domestic supply, and while the hope was that they would eventually ease, that hasn’t happened.

“As expected, their exports started to arrive in July to September; however, the government had a self-imposed October 15 cutoff date for export submission. That date came and went without an extension, so now the belief is their flows will slow to a crawl very soon,” he said. The situation may face additional headwinds, as China has imposed more restrictions on key battery technologies and precursors for phosphate-based batteries. These restrictions will add to demand for ex-China supply as the agricultural sector competes with battery makers for a limited supply of phosphate.

Demand for phosphate is also high, particularly from India, which has been working to increase its stockpiles since the end of 2024, when they reached a low of 1.1 million MT. However, stockpiles had more than doubled to 2.4 million MT at the start of October, with imports climbing to 4 million MT during the April to September period.

Much of the demand has been covered by supply from Saudi Arabia and Morocco, which signed several offtake agreements with Indian importers in July. “They were a major driver of higher prices for much of 2025 as they played catch up on stockpiles, and have finally reached a comfortable number of tons, which has allowed them to slow their desperate pace. The slower demand pace has allowed the market time to breathe/correct lower,” Linville said.

For US-based farmers, supply isn’t the only issue.

On August 7, a host of new tariffs as high as 25 percent were applied to phosphate imports, including from Saudi Arabia, which accounted for 54.7 percent of imports during the first five months of the year. Although there were some concerns that higher prices could prompt farmers to rethink their strategy, Linville hasn’t seen that materialize either.

With reports that farm yields this year have been higher, it may prompt farmers who have been on the fence about a fall application of phosphate to reconsider, as a significant yield would indicate some phosphate soil depletion.

“While still spoty, we are continuing to hear reports that phosphate demand is better than expected,” he said.

However, Linville noted that a surge in last-minute demand it could make supplies tighter and limit the ability for phosphate to make it onto the fields.

What factors impacted potash in Q3?

Linville said potash news was quiet during the quarter, pointing to stable prices and a well-supplied market.

In July, BHP (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BHP) announced it was delaying the opening of its Jansen mine in Saskatchewan. It was initially slated to start production in 2026, but has instead moved its timeline back to 2027 and is also considering pushing the second phase to 2031, citing cost overruns that have ballooned to US$7 billion.

Although potash has so far escaped US tariffs, Linville noted some concern following Ontario’s anti-tariff ad, which ran in the US during the World Series. “We continue to hope/believe that potash will be left alone as part of the North America Trade agreement. Assuming potash is left alone, markets should continue as normal; however, if we start seeing barriers to entry, US farmers will likely bear the brunt of most/all of those tariffs,” he said

Potash and phosphate price forecast for 2025

While potash markets remain stable, phosphate markets are much more dynamic.

Unless there is a significant shift in China’s exports, supply should remain tight. In his most recent weekly update on November 5, Linville noted that the situation could become dire for US consumers before the end of the year.

“We continue to advise our people that if they decide they need phosphate after all, do not wait to lock it up. Days very well may matter. Heck, hours might matter. Supplies are tight and can ill-afford a sudden demand jump,” he wrote.

Additionally, markets are likely to become further strained in the years to come as limited supply meets increased demand from outside the agricultural sector.

October monthly job cuts surged to a 22-year high

U.S.-based companies announced more than 153,000 job cuts in October, the research firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas reported Thursday.

“This is the highest total for October in over 20 years, and the highest total for a single month in the fourth quarter since 2008,’ the firm said in a news release.

From January through the end of October, employers have announced the elimination of nearly 1.1 million jobs. It’s the most Challenger has recorded since 2020, when the Covid-19 pandemic shut down the global economy.

“October’s pace of job cutting was much higher than average for the month,’ Andy Challenger, the firm’s chief revenue officer, said in a statement. The last time there was a higher October monthly total was in 2003.

“Some industries are correcting after the hiring boom of the pandemic, but this comes as AI adoption, softening consumer and corporate spending, and rising costs drive belt-tightening and hiring freezes,” he said.

On Wednesday, the private payroll processor ADP released its own October jobs data, showing that employers added just 42,000 jobs in the month.

The ADP report also flagged job losses in the leisure and hospitality sector as a potential sign of trouble ahead, given the industry’s acute sensitivity to consumer sentiment.

ADP’s chief economist called the losses in hospitality and leisure a ‘concerning trend.’

Both Challenger and ADP’s reports landed as major companies such as Amazon, IBM, UPS, Target, Microsoft, Paramount and General Motors announced plans to eliminate tens of thousands of jobs.

Despite the wave of downbeat economic news, the Trump administration continues to deliver an upbeat take on the current environment.

“Jobs are booming” and “inflation is falling,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Tuesday.

However, the most recent available data paints a different picture.

Inflation has also been on the rise. Prices as measured by the Consumer Price Index overall have risen every month since April.

A spokesperson for the Treasury Department did not immediately reply to a request for comment on the Challenger report.

Challenger’s report does not typically carry the same weight with economists and investors as federal jobs data, owing to its methodology.

To arrive at its figures, the firm compiles the number of job cuts companies have publicly announced. But employers may not ultimately carry out all the cuts they roll out.

Moreover, some of the job cuts that multinational companies announce could affect workers outside of the United States. Other headcount reductions could be achieved through attrition, rather than layoffs. The report also may not capture smaller layoffs over the long run.

But in the midst of a federal data blackout caused by the government shutdown, Challenger’s latest report is being read more closely than usual.

The federal government’s October jobs report that would traditionally be released Friday will not be published this week, due to the shutdown.

Other key data about the U.S. economy like GDP and an inflation indicator called PCE, closely watched by the Federal Reserve, has also been delayed.

Challenger equated the impact of AI on the current labor market to the rise of the internet in the early aughts. “Like in 2003, a disruptive technology is changing the landscape,” it said.

‘Technology continues to lead in private-sector job cuts as companies restructure amid AI integration, slower demand, and efficiency pressures,’ Challenger said.

But even firms that are not actively cutting jobs have warned that they do not plan to add to their headcount in the near term, with several pointing directly to AI’s impact on their personnel needs.

On Wednesday night, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon told CNN that headcount at his company would likely remain steady as the nation’s largest bank rolls out AI internally.

Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon also recently told his employees that the firm would ‘constrain headcount growth through the end of the year,’ as it takes advantage of AI efficiencies, Bloomberg reported.

LaFleur Minerals Advances Swanson Confirmation Drilling to Support Beacon Mill Restart and PEA

LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR,OTC:LFLRF) (OTCQB: LFLRF) (FSE: 3WK0) is moving closer to near-term gold production with the launch of a confirmation drilling program at its Swanson Gold Deposit in Val-d’Or, Québec.

The program will support a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the restart of gold production at the company’s Beacon Gold Mill, positioning LaFleur as one of the few juniors in Québec advancing both a producing mill and active deposit simultaneously.

The 10-hole twinned-drilling campaign is designed to validate historical results, improve confidence in the geological model, and supply fresh core for ore-sorting and metallurgical test work. The new data will feed directly into an updated Mineral Resource Estimate and the PEA now being completed by Environmental Resources Management (ERM), a global leader in mining sustainability and technical consulting.

Targeting Validation and Growth at Swanson

LaFleur Minerals‘ confirmation drilling program is designed to validate the continuity of high-grade shear zones, connect previously under-sampled areas, and strengthen the company’s confidence in Swanson’s grade and tonnage estimates. Historical drilling at the Swanson Gold Deposit totals more than 36,000 metres across 242 holes, with standout intervals including 69.3 metres at 3.03 g/t Au (SW-03-07) and 51.0 metres at 3.46 g/t Au (BAR31-84).

These zones fall within open-pit limits defined by previous operators including Lac Minerals, Phoenix Matachewan Mines, and Agnico-Eagle Mines, providing a strong foundation for verification and expansion.

‘Advancing the Beacon Gold Mill to restart gold production with gold prices at record levels above $4,000 per ounce offers amazing economic potential,’ said LaFleur Minerals CEO Paul Teniere. ‘We are well underway to completing a comprehensive PEA for the restart of the Beacon Gold Mill and at the suggestion of ERM, we are nearing completion of twinning historical holes that form the basis of the mineral resource at our Swanson Gold Deposit, with the intention to supply mineralized material from Swanson to the Beacon Gold Mill. We aim to have the PEA completed as soon as assay results on the twinned holes are received in the coming weeks.’

Beacon Gold Mill Restart

LaFleur Minerals’ Beacon Gold Mill is advancing through the final stages of recommissioning as the company prepares for near-term gold production in Val-d’Or. The 750-tonne-per-day, fully permitted mill, equipped with crushing, grinding, flotation, leaching, and Merrill-Crowe circuits, underwent a major $20 million modernization in 2022 and is now being optimized for restart.

Current work includes mechanical and electrical upgrades, installation of a new gravity concentrator circuit, and recruitment for key operational staff including mill management, maintenance, and plant operators. Approximately 10,000 to 20,000 tonnes of mineralized stockpiles are on-site and will be used for initial trial runs once the mill is back online.

Located a short distance from the Swanson Gold Deposit, Beacon gives LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE:LFLR,OTC:LFLRF) (OTCQB:LFLRF) (FSE: 3WK0) a fully integrated processing advantage within the Abitibi Greenstone Belt, one of the world’s most prolific and infrastructure-rich gold districts. The combination of an owned mill and near-surface feed source positions LaFleur to transition rapidly from development to production.

Strategic Position in Val-d’Or

The Val-d’Or district continues to attract global producers through mergers and acquisitions targeting long-life, low-risk assets. With both Swanson and Beacon situated along the same mineralized corridor, LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE:LFLR,OTC:LFLRF) (OTCQB:LFLRF) (FSE: 3WK0) is positioned to benefit from regional consolidation and rising valuations across the camp.

Record gold prices further enhance the economics of LaFleur’s restart plan, offering strong margins, accelerated payback potential, and immediate exposure to cash flow from a permitted, near-production asset.

Canada One Provides Exploration Review of Boundary Zone, Copper Dome Project

Canada One Mining Corp. (TSXV: CONE) (OTC Pink: COMCF) (FSE: AU31) (‘Canada One’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to provide an exploration review of the Boundary Zone at its 100% owned Copper Dome Project, (‘Copper Dome’, ‘Project’ or ‘Property’), Princeton B.C.

BOUNDARY ZONE HISTORICAL HIGHLIGHTS

Extensive Copper-gold Zone Defined
- mobile metal Ion (MMI) sampling has delineated a strong, north-northeasterly striking Cu-Au anomalous corridor
- measuring approximately 1,000 m wide and 1,750 m long
- open to both the north-northeast toward the Copper Mountain Mine deposits (1.5 km away) and the south-southwest
High-Grade Copper in Soils and Rocks
- numerous MMI copper values exceed 10,000 ppb
- rock sampling within the zone assayed 1.06 % Cu, 0.17 g/t Au, and 0.46 g/t Pd¹
Zinc-Lead-Cadmium Depletion
- MMI sampling in the zone returned depleted Zn-Pb-Cd, consistent with the core of a Cu porphyry system
Potassic Alteration
- MMI sampling returned elevated potassium values indicating potassic alteration, a diagnostic feature of Cu porphyry systems

Peter Berdusco, President and CEO of the Company commented: ‘The Boundary Zone historical results outline a broad copper-gold system extending toward Copper Mountain. Copper values above 10,000 ppb and evidence of potassic alteration are consistent with porphyry-style mineralization. These findings make the Boundary Zone a clear focus for detailed geochemical and geophysical follow-up head of future drill targeting.’

Boundary Review

The main feature of this area is a very dominant copper-gold anomalous zone that also contains silver and molybdenum anomalies. It strikes north northeasterly, has an approximate width of 1,000 meters, and has a minimum strike length of 1,750 meters being open to the north-northeast towards one of the Copper Mountain Mine pits which are only 1,500 meters away. It is also open to the south-southwest.

The copper results are especially high with many of the values above 10,000 ppb. Two rock samples taken within this anomaly contain copper mineralization with one of these samples also containing gold. In addition, at the southwest edge of the anomaly where it is open to the southwest two rock samples taken also containing copper mineralization with gold.

The copper-gold anomalous zone is also somewhat devoid of anomalous values in zinc, lead, and cadmium. Most of the anomalous values in these elements occur outside of the main zone, especially to the east. Certain types of porphyry copper deposits are known to contain zinc mineralization around their peripheries. Another feature is the potassium values which are higher within the anomalous zone. This indicates potassic alteration, often associated with porphyry copper deposits.

Niobium, titanium, yttrium, and zirconium values were also plotted since these four elements indicate Lost Horse intrusive which on the Copper Mountain mine site, either hosts and/or is adjacent to copper mineralization. In general, these elements are somewhat lower within the anomalous zone, but higher outside, especially to the east. This indicates the possibility that the Lost Horse intrusive may occur to the immediate east of the anomalous zone.¹

Allied Critical Metals Expands Santa Helena Breccia with 6.0 Metres of 1.02% WO3 Intercept at Borralha

Substantial assays strengthen the shallow central-south shoots and demonstrate robust continuity along the northwestern dip of the Santa Helena Breccia, supporting a significantly expanded resource footprint and a strong economic outlook for the upcoming MRE and PEA.

Allied Critical Metals Inc. (CSE: ACM,OTC:ACMIF) (OTCQB: ACMIF) (FSE: 0VJ0) (‘Allied’ or the ‘Company’), a tungsten-focused exploration and development company advancing its 100%-owned Borralha Tungsten Project in northern Portugal, is pleased to announce new assay results from the ongoing 2025 Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling campaign.

The results from holes Bo_RC_27/25 and Bo_RC_28/25 confirm strong mineralization continuity in the northwestern dip area of the Santa Helena Breccia (SHB), extending the recently discovered high-grade North dip backbone toward the north and west and reinforcing previous Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) indications.

Borralha is delivering stronger, wider, and higher-grade intercepts than expected, positioning Allied to unlock significant resource growth and advance one of the most strategic tungsten projects in the Western world. Tungsten price reaches high of $685 USD/MTU APT, up approximately 50% in last 6 months as demand for the critical mineral increases with further supply chain restrictions from non-Western countries.

Highlights:

Bo_RC_27/25:

46.0 m (33.1 m TW) @ 0.22 % WO₃ from 204.0 m, including
22.0 m (15.8 m TW) @ 0.35 % WO₃ from 228.0 m, and
6.0 m (4.3 m TW) @ 1.02 % WO₃ from 228.0 m
- Robust mineralized intercept expanding the northwestern dip area of the SHB.

Bo_RC_28/25:

8.0 m (5.4 m TW) @ 0.68 % WO₃ from 90.0 m, including
2.0 m (1.4 m TW) @ 0.94 % WO₃ from 96.0 m
Additional 4.0 m (2.7 m TW) @ 0.42 % WO₃ from 210.0 m
- Confirms high-grade lenses within the upper SHB flank, consistent with geometry predicted in the 2024 model.

Roy Bonnell, CEO and Director of ACM, commented: ‘Borralha continues to exceed expectations. We are now consistently intersecting thicker and higher-grade zones than previously modelled. Hole Bo_RC_27/25 delivered one of the most continuous and grade-consistent intercepts drilled to date within the northwestern extension of the Santa Helena Breccia, validating our interpretation of a broad, steeply dipping feeder system. In addition, Bo_RC_28/25 confirmed the up-dip continuity of high-grade mineralization toward surface, an encouraging indicator for potential shallow extraction scenarios. Together with earlier successes, these results continue to demonstrate both excellent scale and grade expansion as we advance toward our updated Mineral Resource Estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment.’

Geological Context

Drill hole Bo_RC_27/25 intersected a thick zone of disseminated wolframite mineralization along the northwestern structural dip of the SHB, corresponding to a domain where the 2024 MRE had identified only moderate-grade envelopes.

This intercept — including a 6 m @ 1.02 % WO₃ — demonstrates significant grade enhancement and continuity within the newly modeled corridor, supporting the revised interpretation of a wider, steeper feeder system.

Hole Bo_RC_28/25, collared 50 m northeast of Bo_RC_26/25, successfully tested the continuity of mineralization up-dip toward surface, intersecting multiple high-grade lenses associated with breccia-hosted wolframite.

Together, the two holes confirm northward and up-dip expansion potential, bridging the 2023-2024 drilling domains.

These results will directly feed into the upcoming Mineral Resource Estimate update and Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) scheduled for Q1 2026, aiming to delineate additional tonnage and improve confidence in high-grade zones.

Drill Program Progress

To date, 4,210 metres of drilling have been completed from the initially planned 5,625-metre Phase 1 campaign, as the desired results were achieved with more strategically focused drilling. The program focus was:

Expanding and upgrading the current NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE), expected in Q4 2025.
The development of a robust Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA).
Supporting underground mine design and integration with ongoing EIA review.

Further and final assay results are expected in the coming weeks as drilling has completed and the last assays of the drill campaign are being analyzed.

Next Steps

With Phase 1 drilling campaign is finished, final results are expected in the coming weeks. Step-out holes targeted both western and northern extensions of SHB, while infill drilling will refine the core resource model. Results will continue to inform the MRE and subsequent economic studies.

Sampling, QA/QC and Analytical Notes

Drilling was completed using reverse-circulation (RC). All sample bags were pre-labelled with a unique internal sequence number used consistently for the assay sample and corresponding reject. Sampling was conducted on 2.0 m intervals for analytics. For each 2.0 m interval, two 1.0 m reject samples were also collected as representative splits. Splitting was performed at the rig via a rotary splitter integral to the RC cyclone.

Sampling followed pre-prepared sample lists that recorded downhole metreage, sequence, and the placement of Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) and field duplicates. CRMs were inserted at a rate of 1 in 20 samples (5%) and field duplicates at 1 in 20 samples (5%), arranged so that every 10th sample alternated between a CRM and a duplicate.

Analytical and reject samples were boxed at the drill site and transported by company personnel to the project core/logging facility. Analytical samples were stored on labelled pallets pending direct shipment to ALS’s preparation laboratory in Seville, Spain. Pulps and rejects were subsequently stored securely in the project logging room.

At ALS Seville, samples were crushed to 70% passing 2 mm, riffle-split to ~250 g, and pulverized using hardened steel to 85% passing 75 μm. Pulps were shipped to ALS Loughrea (Ireland) for analysis. The primary analytical method was ME-MS81 (lithium borate fusion with ICP-MS finish). Base metals were also reported using ME-4ACD81 (four-acid digestion with ICP-MS finish). Over-limit tungsten results were re-assayed using W-XRF15b (lithium borate fusion with XRF). Analytical results were delivered directly by ALS to the Company via secure electronic transfer.

Primary disclosure remains the reported grade and interval length (and true width where known).

To the best of the Company’s knowledge, no drilling, sampling, recovery, or other factors have been identified that would materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the data referenced herein.

The scientific and technical information in this release has been reviewed and approved by Mr. Vítor Arezes, BSc, MIMMM (QMR), Vice-President Exploration of Allied Critical Metals, a Qualified Person under National Instrument43-101. Mr. Arezes is not independent of Allied Critical Metals Inc. as he is an officer of the Company.

About the Borralha Tungsten Project

Allied’s Borralha Tungsten Project is one of the largest and most historically significant past-producing tungsten operations in Western Europe. Located in northern Portugal, Borralha was once the second-largest tungsten mine in the country and supplied strategic materials to European and Allied industries during the 20th century, including both World Wars and the Cold War period.

Today, the project is undergoing a modern revitalization based on a combination of scale, grade, metallurgy, and jurisdictional strength. Mineralization is dominated by coarse-grained wolframite, which is highly desirable in global markets due to its favorable processing characteristics and higher recoveries compared to scheelite-bearing deposits.

Borralha benefits from existing infrastructure, shallow mineralization, and a simple processing route, making it one of the most advanced tungsten development projects in the European Union. These attributes are particularly important in the context of the EU Critical Raw Materials Act (2024/1252) and NATO strategic autonomy initiatives, both of which explicitly identify tungsten as a defense-critical raw material subject to severe supply risk.

With the EU currently dependent on over 80% of its tungsten imports from China, Borralha represents a rare and strategic opportunity to develop a secure, domestic, and NATO-aligned supply source. As Allied continues to advance drilling, resource expansion, and economic studies, Borralha is poised to play a central role in reshaping Europe’s tungsten landscape-supporting both decarbonization technologies and defense-industrial resilience.
