Abitibi Metals announces initial recoveries at B26 of 98.2% copper in metallurgical testwork. August 19, 2026 By Abitibi Metals Corp. Toronto, Ontario-(Newsfile Corp. - August 19, 2026) - Abitibi Metals Corp. (CSE: AMQ) (OTCQB: AMQFF) (FSE: FW0) ("Abitibi" or the "Company") is pleased to announce initial results from the ongoing metallurgical development program for the B26 Polymetallic Deposit, being completed by SLR Consulting. This work is being conducted in parallel with the current B26 and Regional exploration program targeting 40,000m, where Abitibi currently has 3 drill rigs actively drilling on the project. Highlights include: * EXCELLENT COPPER ZONE RECOVERIES - Flotation recovery of 98.2% copper to a saleable rougher concentrate product. * ATTRACTIVE ROUGHER CONCENTRATE GRADES - Desirable rougher concentrate grades of 23.7% Copper achieved using laboratory scale equipment. * SIMPLE FLOWSHEET - The rapid flotation kinetics noted for the copper zone sample point to low residence time requirements, suggesting a very simple flotation circuit design. * COARSE GRINDING REQUIREMENT - these excellent results were achieved after a primary grind of 80% -150 * REMAINING ELEMENTS (AU-AG-ZN) - Initial Gold and Silver recoveries are in line with previous test work and are undergoing additional optimization work. Zinc zone flotation test work is also ongoing, with cleaner and locked cycle test work to be completed in the coming weeks. "One of the most encouraging aspects of this program is that SLR Consulting has independently confirmed the excellent metallurgical performance of the B26 deposit using a significantly larger and more representative Cu-Zone composite than was available during earlier studies. These initial results demonstrate excellent copper recovery, rapid flotation kinetics and the production of a high-quality rougher copper concentrate, further increasing our confidence in the B26 project as we advance toward the Preliminary Economic Assessment," commented Dave Bernier, Abitibi's COO. "While additional optimization work remains underway, including cleaner and locked-cycle testing and evaluation of the zinc flotation, these early results continue to de-risk the project and reinforce our belief that B26 possesses the metallurgical characteristics expected of a high-quality VMS development project." The metallurgical test work program currently underway at SLR Consulting independently confirms the excellent metallurgical performance demonstrated during earlier testing, while utilizing significantly larger and more representative composite samples collected from across the B26 deposit. The metallurgical development program is ongoing and will continue to evaluate and refine the processing flowsheet, including mineralogical characterization, batch cleaner and locked-cycle flotation testing, full assessment of final concentrate marketability, and integration of the zinc-rich mineralization into the overall process design. The final results will be incorporated into the upcoming Preliminary Economic Assessment. The Company will provide the full results of this Phase 2 Metallurgical program once the program is complete.

Forward-looking statement: Forward-looking information in this news release includes, but is not limited to, statements regarding the results, scope and timing of the ongoing metallurgical optimization program; expected copper, gold, silver and zinc recoveries and concentrate grades; the anticipated design, configuration and sizing of a potential process plant; and the timing and outcome of the proposed Preliminary Economic Assessment. Such statements are subject to risks including, among others, that the initial and rougher flotation results reported herein may not be indicative of final metallurgical recoveries; that cleaner and locked-cycle testing, variability testing and evaluation of the zinc circuit may produce results that differ materially from those reported herein; that metallurgical performance achieved under laboratory conditions may not be replicated at commercial scale; that the composite tested may not be representative of the deposit as a whole; and that observations regarding flowsheet simplicity, flotation residence time or process plant configuration may not translate into the process design, capital cost or operating cost outcomes ultimately determined by the Preliminary Economic Assessment or any subsequent study. This news release contains certain statements, which may constitute "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Forward-looking information involves statements that are not based on historical information but rather relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments on the B26 Project or otherwise. Forward-looking information is necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions, which are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company's control and many of which, regarding future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on the Company's behalf. Although Abitibi has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended. All factors should be considered carefully, and readers should not place undue reliance on Abitibi's forward-looking information. Generally, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "expects," "estimates," "anticipates," or variations of such words and phrases (including negative and grammatical variations) or statements that certain actions, events or results "may," "could," "might" or "occur." Mineral exploration and development are highly speculative and are characterized by a number of significant inherent risks, which may result in the inability of the Company to successfully develop current or proposed projects for commercial, technical, political, regulatory or financial reasons, or if successfully developed, may not remain economically viable for their mine life owing to any of the foregoing reasons, among others. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving commercial mineral production and the likelihood of success must be considered in light of the stage of operations.

Ex-Norfolk PCC secures new job fortnight after shock exit. By Dan Grimmer Specialist reporter (public affairs) Norfolk's former police and crime commissioner (PCC) has secured a new job less than a fortnight after her sudden resignation left the county facing a £2m bill. Sarah Taylor announced her new role at a global consultancy firm on business networking website LinkedIn, saying "sometimes the planets really do align". Her rapid return to the world of work has raised eyebrows given her given her shock departure from the £76,000-a-year PCC role, which she announced with immediate effect on June 4. Her resignation came just two years after she was voted into office and has triggered a by-election - estimated to cost £2m - even though the PCC role will be scrapped in 2028. Ms Taylor, who also quit as Breckland district councillor for Dereham Toftwood, has been appointed as director of transport and mobility planning with SLR Consulting, which advises companies on sustainability issues. The firm operates in 127 countries, with 140 offices and 5,000 staff around the world. The SLR website (Image: Newsquest) Ms Taylor's job is based in Leeds and will see her split her time between Yorkshire and Norfolk. Writing on LinkedIn, she said: "Sometimes the planets really do align. "After what can only be called an intense few weeks, I find myself starting out again. Not only am I reconnecting with transport planning after a career break of sorts, but, and with huge thanks to the team at SLR Consulting, I am in Leeds. "This move will enable a very necessary new set of domestic circumstances (those bills never do seem to pay themselves). "It also means that I am reconnecting with built environment friends and colleagues as I carve out a new purpose, both in the rainbow skyed, rolling hills of Yorkshire and in the moderately less hilly environs of Norfolk." Sarah Taylor's LinkedIn post announcing her new job (Image: Newsquest) When Ms Taylor resigned from the role she had held since 2024, latterly as an independent but previously for Labour, she said she would have to spend "considerable time outside Norfolk" because her family had suffered "multiple bereavements and ill-health". Sprowston-born Ms Taylor also said an immediate family member had been diagnosed with a "condition which is known to be profoundly life-changing" which had "upended everything". She said: "The need to be able to spend as much time as possible with my loved ones is now my singularly priority. This will need me to spend considerable time outside Norfolk." Before she became Norfolk's police and crime commissioner, Ms Taylor, who studied at the University of East Anglia and Leeds University, worked as a road safety expert in the highways and transportation sector, including giving advice and appearing at planning appeals. She stepped down from her job with Peterborough-based Royal HaskoningDHV when she became police and crime commissioner in 2024. She did not respond to a request for comment on her new employment. Daniel Burcham (Image: Supplied) Daniel Burcham, a Reform UK councillor at Norfolk County Council and Breckland District Council, said: "What raises eyebrows is the speed with which a role in another part of the country appears to have materialised, after being unable to continue serving the people who elected her." The police and crime commissioner by-election will be held on Thursday, July 16. Confirmed candidates are Chris Brown (Liberal Democrat), Beth Jones (Labour), Martin Schmierer (Green) and Matthew Taylor (Conservative). There have been calls for the by-election to be axed, given the role is to be abolished in 2028 as part of the devolution process which will see the powers passed to a mayor for Norfolk and Suffolk. Adrian Ramsay, MP for Waveney Valley (Image: James Manning/PA) Waveney Valley Green MP Adrian Ramsay said the police and crime panel - made up mainly of councillors - could take on the post's duties for the two years until the powers pass to the new mayor. But government ministers rejected his call, saying the law required a replacement to be appointed.
