Churchill Intersects 19.23% Antimony over 1.40 Metres at Frost Cove North and at PC Pond Expands Vein Swarm and Intersects New Prospect Grading 0.78% Copper with 61.2 g/t Silver over 6.22 Metres on the Black Raven Project, Central Newfoundland

TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / August 28, 2026 / Churchill Resources Inc. ("Churchill" or the "Company") (TSXV:CRI.V) is pleased to report final assay results from its Spring 2026 program of core drilling and trenching at the Black Raven Project. The work was focused on both Pomley Cove Pond ("PC Pond") where the Company's recent discovery of a potentially extensive polymetallic vein swarm associated with rhyolitic volcanic rocks has been significantly expanded, and a second round of delineation drilling of the Frost Cove North antimony-gold prospect.

The Spring program included the drilling of 23 drillholes, with a cumulative depth of 4,267m (Table 5), along with extensive trenching, channel, and soil sampling. Fourteen holes, totalling 2,979m depth, were dedicated to expanding the PC Pond prospect (Fig. 1, Tables 1-3), and the remaining nine holes (cumulative of 1288m) to delineation work at Frost Cove North (Fig. 2, Table 4); all results reported here. Most holes were surveyed by televiewer to assist with Leapfrog modelling of the PC Pond complex and refining the Frost Cove North geological model.

At PC Pond, the 2026 drilling both expanded the Au-Ag-Mo vein swarm and discovered a broad succession of associated felsic extrusive rocks first intersected in hole PC25-02, within the down-dropped portion of a regional graben structure, that appears to be at, or near, the locus of the Black Raven mineralization and quartz-feldspar porphyry dykes. A delineation drilling program for the Fall on the Peninsula Vein Swarm ("PVS") is being planned, to target the strike extents of, and drill the first deep holes into, the mineralized structure.

At Frost Cove North the highlight was drillhole FC26-34, targeted on a gap in our 2025 delineation drilling, which intersected a project best 19.23% Sb and 0.73 gpt Au over 1.40m, which included an interval of 56.20% Sb over 0.47m. The majority of the other holes intersected polymetallic Au-Ag-Sb-As-Zn mineralization.

Churchill interprets these results as indicating that the Black Raven Property potentially contains a large-scale mineralized system in which critical and precious metals occur in association with felsic intrusive (dyke) and extrusive (volcanic flow and breccia) rocks, all centred about PC Pond. The Company is excited by our exploration results to date and doubled the 2025 soil sampling this Spring to expand coverage at the mineralized core of the project.

PC Pond Gold, Silver, Molybdenum Spring 2026 Highlights Include:

• Mineralized Zones within Interpreted Felsic Volcanic Complex (Fig. 1, Tables 1-3, 5)
  2026 PC Pond drilling intersected a newly recognized felsic volcanic complex that correlates with historical IP ("induced polarization") chargeability and arsenic-in-soil anomalies, due to its elevated disseminated arsenopyrite contents. Numerous mineralized shear zones/quartz veins were intersected within, and adjacent to, the dome per Fig 1. The Peninsula Vein Swarm and Western Shear Zone are interpreted to be primary fault systems integral to the volcanic complex.

• Expanded gold-silver-molybdenum vein system at the Peninsula Vein Swarm ("PVS")
  The original vein swarm discovery made in November 2025 has now been expanded to an interpreted strike length of at least 200m along strike to the north, from the results of channels in Trench TRPC-02 along the length of the peninsula, and from drillhole PC26-03 at its north end. Systematic channels in the trench exposed numerous sulphide-rich shear zones within both the mafic country rock as well as the brecciated felsic dome rocks carrying 1-5% disseminated arsenopyrite. There is a distinct molybdenum enrichment, as well as potassic and magnetite alteration evident in the centre of the PVS within numerous veins over the core ~100m width in plan-view of the structural corridor. The PVS is interpreted to potentially extend hundreds of metres further to both the north and south and is open at depth where more ductile rocks may have allowed for larger mineralizing systems to form. Elsewhere in the felsic dome complex the alteration, volcanic textures, and isolated mineralized structures suggest a more distal setting.
  
  Highlights include:

  • Surface (Tables 1 and 2): Intercepts include the following (weighted averages):

    • 2.47 g/t Au, 78.8 g/t Ag over 1.58 m (TRPC02 - channel 20)

    • 1.21 g/t Au, 51.3 g/t Ag, 918 ppm Mo over 0.57m (TRPC02 - channel 15)

  • Drilling (Table 3): Hole PC26-03 was targeted to intersect the inferred strike of the PVS approximately 200m to the north of the discoveries and it intersected a portion of the overall structure. Hole PC26-16 targeted to cross the structure ~100m south of Hole PC26-03, intersected encouraging stockworkveining and visible molybdenite mineralization further raising confidence in the PVS being an important fluid conduit. The planned Fall 2026 drill program will commence with extending holes PC26-03 and PC26-16 across the entirety of the PVS, followed by systematic delineation work along strike.

  • Intercepts in PC26-03 include the following (weighted averages):

    • 3.68 g/t Au, 10.7 g/t Ag over 0.67m.

    • Numerous discrete vein and breccia samples returned elevated Au, Ag, and Mo assays throughout the 173m intersection of rhyolite.

  • Intercepts in PC26-16 include the following (weighted averages):

    • Numerous veins returned elevated Au, Ag, and Mo assays.

    • Individual samples assayed high values of 1.67 gpt Au, 135 gpt Ag, 1.10% Pb, 2.28% Zn, and 787 ppm Mo.

    • The best molybdenum intersection on the property was intersected near surface, 1.09% Mo over 0.19m at 8.36m down hole (-45 degree dip).

• New Copper-Silver- Gold Prospect - Hole PC26-06 Intersection

About the Black Raven Gold-Silver-Antimony Project

The Black Raven Project is a polymetallic exploration asset in Central Newfoundland characterized by high-tenor antimony mineralization and gold-silver-lead-zinc-molybdenum systems. Churchill's primary objective is to evaluate the projects' potential to host small-footprint, high-grade underground mine(s).

The project encompasses the past-producing Frost Cove Antimony Mine and Stewart Gold Mine. While these sites operated intermittently at the turn of the last century, Churchill is the first to apply modern systematic exploration techniques over the entire property to understand these and other occurrences. Black Raven is located approximately 60km northwest of Gander, Newfoundland, and approximately 100km north of the dormant Beaver Brook Antimony Mine. The project benefits from excellent infrastructure, including roads, power, proximity to tidewater and ports, and locally integrated operational and technical teams.

Antimony is recognized as a vital critical mineral, essential for Canada's national and economic security. It is a key component in military applications, flame retardants, alloy strengthening in batteries, and emerging energy storage technologies. Securing a reliable domestic supply chain for antimony is paramount for critical mineral supply chains, bolstering both economic resilience and strategic independence. Currently, North America lacks sources of high-grade, primary antimony supply, making a potential domestic source at Black Raven critically important.

Sampling Program

Antimony, gold, silver, lead, zinc, copper and molybdenum samples were identified and collected by Company geologists from drill cores, channel samples, and grab samples. Core samples were halved by saw at the Company's core facility near Boyd's Cove. Trench and grab samples were entirely submitted. Note that grab samples are selective in nature and therefore may not represent the true grade of the outcrop sampled.

All samples were labelled and securely bound and delivered to the laboratory of Activation Laboratories Ltd. ("Actlabs") in Fredericton, New Brunswick, for crushing and pulverizing. Actlabs is ISO/IEC 17025 (Lab 266) certified, Health Canada Licensed, FDA inspected and registered, and independent of Churchill. Blanks and known standards for antimony and gold were included by Company geologists both regularly every 20 samples, and also immediately following all high-grade samples. Splits were couriered to Actlabs, Ancaster and analysed by using Actlabs Method Code 1E3 Aqua Regia ICPOES for the multi element and Code 1A2 Fire Assay AA for gold. Over-limit antimony samples were analysed using Actlabs Method Code FUS-Na2O2 Special Fusion Method. Actlabs also has standard QA/QC protocols which are reported with each assay batch.

Significant-interval composites in Tables 2, 3 and 4 were selected and weighted averages calculated without upper cut-offs and below-detection limit samples, if included in a composite, were cut to 50% of the value.
