Notes: Intervals are measured core lengths and are not necessarily true widths. Silver values are expressed as ppm in the assay table and as g/t in the narrative; the units are equivalent on a mass basis. Composite intervals are length-weighted. The 4.20 metre interval contains approximately 2.1 metres of low-grade material between the mineralized veins reported separately above.
Visual Logging and Assay Alignment
Laurentia Exploration's July 14, 2026 core-logging compilation documented two visually mineralized downhole corridors in CS-26-140W1. In the lower corridor, logging recorded three calcite or calcite-chlorite veins approximately 2 to 4 centimetres thick, with native-silver stringers oriented orthogonal to the veins and millimetre-scale silver flakes around them. At 463.00 to 463.30 metres, native silver was concentrated along the vein contact.
The logged observations at 404.80 to 404.95 metres, 460.00 to 460.25 metres and 463.00 to 463.30 metres coincide spatially with assayed subintervals returning 20,675.75 g/t Ag with 1.16% Co over 0.30 metres, 5,029.17 g/t Ag over 0.30 metres and 10,413.61 g/t Ag with 0.72% Co over 0.30 metres, respectively. The comparison is positional only: visual estimates are inherently uncertain, and the assay results in Table 1 govern the grade disclosure.
Next Steps
Results from CS-26-140W1 are being incorporated into the expanded Castle East geological model. Follow-up work will focus on the interpreted continuity and orientation of the three mineralized intervals and their relationship to the Robinson and Big Silver structural framework. Assay results for additional holes from the ongoing program will be reported as received and reviewed. Drilling and target refinement continue subject to financing, permitting and technical review.

QA/QC
The drilling campaign and quality-control program were planned and supervised by Laurentia Exploration Inc. All core in this program is HQ-size drill core. Core logging and sampling were completed by Laurentia. The core was cut in half with a rock saw; one half was sent to Swastika Laboratories Ltd. for analysis and the other half was retained as witness core. Nord's quality-assurance and quality-control protocol includes the insertion of one blank and one standard every 20 samples, in addition to the laboratory's regular insertion of blanks, duplicates and standards. Silver values are determined by fire assay with a gravimetric finish, except for samples containing significant native silver, which are analyzed by fire assay with metallic screening. Copper, zinc, cobalt and nickel values are determined by sodium-peroxide total fusion.
Sample 13687 is a newly disclosed result from hole CS-20-43 from 466.0 to 467.0 metres downhole. The result is from SGS Canada Inc in B.C. and was analyzed by fire assay with metallic screening due to the presence of visible silver. Sample DH0008106 is a newly disclosed result from hole CS-21-92 from 438.55 to 439.05 metres downhole and was analyzed using 4-Acid Near-Total Digestion at Activation Laboratories Ltd. (Actlabs) in Ancaster, Ontario.

About Nord Precious Metals Mining Inc.
Nord Precious Metals Mining Inc. (TSXV: NTH) is a silver exploration and development company focused on advancing the Gowganda Silver Tailings Project in Ontario into near-term production. The Company expects to complete a mineral resource estimate for the Project, prepared in accordance with NI 43-101, within the next six months, followed by a technical report on the economics of reprocessing. Nord then intends to finance development of the tailings project on the strength of that study, with cash flow from reprocessing intended to fund exploration across its district-scale, high-grade silver projects, which have the potential for a significant impact on the value of the Company.
Nord's production strategy is anchored by existing infrastructure. The Company operates TTL Laboratories, the only permitted high-grade milling facility in Ontario's historic Cobalt Camp, establishing an integrated position that connects the recovery of historical tailings and high-grade silver exploration with existing processing capacity.
The Company's 63 sq. km flagship Castle property, including 225 hectares of leases, hosts three of the five most productive past-producing silver mines in the Gowganda Camp (Siscoe-O'Brien, Castle and Millerett) along with the Castle East discovery, a high-grade native silver vein system that remains the focus of ongoing drilling, geological modelling and exploration targeting.
Nord's integrated processing strategy is intended to support multiple metal-recovery streams. The Re-2Ox hydrometallurgical process, validated at pilot scale through SGS Lakefield, is designed to address arsenic in complex silver-cobalt ores while producing technical-grade cobalt sulphate and other metal products. Together with TTL Laboratories and underground mine access, this approach positions Nord within Ontario's emerging critical-minerals supply chain.
