Canterra Intersects 18.75 m of 5.35% CuEq, including 5.15 m of 8.83% CuEq, at the Lemarchant Deposit – Demonstrating High-Grade Potential Beyond Lundberg in Newfoundland’s Buchans District

“With a significantly expanded resource at Lundberg and now high-grade results from Lemarchant, we are beginning to demonstrate the broader opportunity across our consolidated Buchans District.” – Chris Pennimpede, President and CEO

Highlights – 2026 Lemarchant Drill Program

• 18.75 m of 5.35% copper equivalent (“CuEq”) at Lemarchant, the largest satellite deposit in Canterra’s Buchans District. Hole LM-26-172 intersected 18.75 m of high-grade polymetallic mineralization from 238.00 m, averaging 0.61% Cu, 6.00% Zn, 1.45% Pb, 77.2 g/t Ag and 1.72 g/t Au, at a vertical depth of approximately 180 m.
• Gold- and silver-rich core. 5.15 m of 8.83% CuEq from 240.85 m, grading 1.03% Cu, 7.89% Zn, 2.65% Pb, 165.4 g/t Ag and 2.98 g/t Au.
• Additional drilling demonstrates potential along the prospective Lemarchant Horizon. Hole LM-26-176 intersected 13.10 m of 1.21% CuEq from 190.90 m, including 2.10 m of 3.86% CuEq (0.61% Cu, 3.61% Zn, 0.44% Pb, 26.2 g/t Ag and 1.72 g/t Au), approximately 40 m from the nearest historical intercept. The interval comprises semi-massive sulphide underlain by strongly altered felsic breccia with stockwork sulphides.
• Results support Canterra’s district strategy beyond its expanded Lundberg resource. Drilling confirms the continuity of polymetallic massive sulphide mineralization at Lemarchant and highlights the prospective host horizon that remains open along strike and at depth beyond the limits of historical deposit-focused drilling.
• Additional results pending. Results reported today cover seven holes (2,064 m) of the 14-hole (5,240 m) 2026 Lemarchant program. Assays are pending for the remaining seven holes (LM-26-177 to LM-26-183), including step-outs at the Northwest Zone and tests of deeper geophysical and newly identified exploration targets.

Vancouver, B.C. (November 10, 2026) – Canterra Minerals Corporation (TSXV: CTM) (OTCQB: CTMCF) (FSE: DXZB) (“Canterra” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce assay results from seven diamond drill holes at the Lemarchant Deposit, including 18.75 m of 5.35% CuEq in hole LM-26-172. Lemarchant is the largest known satellite deposit within Canterra’s Buchans District portfolio in central Newfoundland (Figure 1) and hosts a 2018 historical mineral resource estimate of 2.42 million tonnes Indicated at 4.89% CuEq and 0.56 million tonnes Inferred at 3.66% CuEq (Table 2).

Following the recently announced 55% increase in Indicated Mineral Resource tonnage at its cornerstone Lundberg Deposit to 26.1 Mt (October 6, 2026 news release), Canterra is advancing the next stage of its district strategy: demonstrating the potential for additional high-grade mineralization across its surrounding satellite deposits to contribute to the scale and value of the broader Buchans District. Lemarchant is located approximately 20 km southwest of Teck Resources’ former Duck Pond VMS Mine.

Chris Pennimpede, President and CEO of Canterra, commented:

“Our investment thesis at Buchans has always been about more than one deposit. We have now grown the Indicated resource at Lundberg by 55%, and these first results from Lemarchant demonstrate the high grades that make our surrounding satellite deposits so compelling.

“Nearly 19 metres exceeding 5% copper equivalent, including more than 5 metres approaching 9% copper equivalent, reinforces why we believe Lemarchant could become an important contributor to the broader Buchans District opportunity. With additional assays pending from step-outs and new exploration targets, we have more opportunities ahead.

“Our focus is on building scale around an established resource base while demonstrating the high-grade potential of the surrounding deposits. That’s how we intend to unlock the broader value of the district for shareholders.”

Lemarchant Drill Results (Figure 2)

• LM-26-172, an infill hole through the Lemarchant Main Zone, intersected 18.75 m of 5.35% CuEq (0.61% Cu, 6.00% Zn, 1.45% Pb, 77.2 g/t Ag, 1.72 g/t Au) from 238.00 m, at a vertical depth of approximately 180 m (Figure 3). The interval includes 5.15 m grading 8.83% CuEq from 240.85 m, carrying 165.4 g/t Ag and 2.98 g/t Au. A separate deeper interval was intersected from 275.00 to 284.00 m grading 0.66% CuEq over 9.00 m.
• LM-26-176 intersected the Lemarchant Main Zone at 190.90 m, at a vertical depth of approximately 142 m, returning 13.10 m of 1.21% CuEq, including 2.10 m grading 3.86% CuEq (Figure 4). The upper 1.10 m is semi-massive sulphide with approximately 30% pyrite and 5 to 10% sphalerite and chalcopyrite with trace galena, grading 4.55% CuEq with 2.82 g/t Au and 23.4 g/t Ag. It is underlain by rhyolite breccia with strong silica-sericite alteration and stockwork pyrite with base metal sulphides, characteristic of the footwall alteration zone beneath the Lemarchant Deposit.
• LM-26-171 was drilled up-dip and west of the Main Zone to a depth of 196.0 m and intersected two zones of zinc-copper mineralization, including 3.00 m of 1.03% CuEq from 61.00 m. Holes LM-26-173 and LM-26-175 returned only low-grade intervals, the best being 1.00 m of 1.03% CuEq from 144.60 m in LM-26-175, where the Lemarchant Horizon contains only minor sulphides. Hole LM-26-174 and the extension of historical hole LM-11-049 (LM-11-049EXT), which was deepened to test a deep IP anomaly down plunge of the Lemarchant Northwest Zone, returned no significant assays. Results are shown in Table 1 and Figures 2, 3 and 4; collar details are provided in Table 3.
• Key outcomes: The results confirm the continuity of polymetallic massive sulphide mineralization while further highlighting the prospective host horizon that remains open along strike and at depth beyond the limits of past deposit-focused drilling.
