Buchans Resources Limited (“Buchans” or the “Company”), a Canadian mineral exploration and development company, reports that it held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders in Toronto, Canada on June 11, 2026.

At the meeting, John Kearney, Chairman and Chief Executive, provided shareholders with a review of the current position and outlook for the Company.

“I am pleased to report continued progress across Buchans Resources’ portfolio of critical mineral assets and strategic investments. Buchans equity position in Canterra Minerals continues to be a key source of value, with Canterra’s ongoing drill programme at the Buchans Project in central Newfoundland advancing exploration across a world-class base metals district. We are encouraged by the momentum Canterra has built and remain strong believers in the camp’s long-term potential.

Buchans continues to advance exploration and targeting exercises across its Labrador nickel, copper, cobalt, and gold properties in support of a future test drill program. In early 2026, we engaged experienced consultant groups to compile and review remote sensing and geophysical data across approximately 2,000 km² of its properties, including processing of satellite spectral data and historical airborne geophysical datasets. These findings will guide upcoming field activities and further analyses of ground geophysical and geological data, all with the goal of defining drill-ready targets. We are actively seeking joint venture partners to help advance these high-potential assets.

Buchans investment in Minco Exploration PLC also reflects its commitment to building value through well-positioned partnerships. Minco’s recently completed €1.66 million financing will advance exploration at its Rapla Project in Ireland, a highly prospective zinc-lead belt with a strong technical team behind it. Together with our Royalties Inc. holding, Buchans enters the second half of 2026 with a strengthened portfolio and a clear focus on unlocking long-term shareholder value.”
