Carolina Rush Cancels Shareholder Meeting Due To Canada Post Strike, Will Reschedule Once Strike Ends

(MENAFN- Newsfile Corp) Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 1, 2025) - Carolina Rush Corporation (TSXV: RUSH) (OTCQB: PUCCF) (" Carolina Rush " or the " Company ") announces that it has cancelled its special meeting of shareholders (the " Meeting "), which was to be held on October 21, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) due to the national strike commenced by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers on September 25, 2025 (the " Strike "). The Meeting was being held in connection with its transaction with OceanaGold Corporation to be completed pursuant to a earn-in to joint venture agreement (the " OceanaGold Agreement ") executed on September 15, 2025 between the Company, Pancon Resources Carolinas Corporation (formerly Palmetto Mining Corporation) (" Pancon Carolinas "), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and OceanaGold Minerals U.S. Inc. (" OceanaGold "), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OceanaGold Corporation (" OG ").

Carolina Rush President and CEO Layton Croft stated: "We had all necessary Circular materials for the October 21 special shareholder meeting printed and ready to mail out on the morning of September 26. The Canada Post strike announced late the day before was unexpected and obviously beyond our control. As a result, we will reschedule the special meeting of shareholders once we get clarity on when Canada Post will resume operations. Regulatory rules require that printed hard copies of the Circular be mailed to all shareholders at least 21 calendar days before the meeting. We will do everything we can to expedite the process, and we will provide additional details when we have them. Meantime, we are making progress working with the talented folks at OceanaGold to prepare for our deep drill program at Brewer, which will commence upon securing Rush shareholder approval. I personally thank all shareholders for your understanding and patience with this unanticipated situation."
