Event Summary

Red Metal Resources Ltd. provided an operational update on the impact of heavy rainfall in Chile's Vallenar region on its Carrizal Copper-Gold-Cobalt Property. Between July 15-19, 2026, the area received approximately 104 mm of rain, about two to three years' worth of typical annual precipitation, causing hazardous road conditions. As a safety precaution, the company's IP survey crew was temporarily demobilized for about one week but has since remobilized with no material impact expected on the overall IP program timeline. Mining operations at the Farellon 1/8 concession, operated by lessee Minera KMT SpA, continued uninterrupted due to proactive diversion trenches. The storm prompted regional emergency declarations and road closures across the Atacama and Coquimbo regions. Red Metal also summarized its 2026 work completed to date, including a private placement, LiDAR survey, lease agreement with Minera KMT SpA, IP survey results, and strengthened capital-markets presence.
