BeMetals Surface Sampling Returns High-Grade Gold Results at Savant Gold ProjectVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / February 12, 2026 / BeMetals Corp. (TSXV:BMET)(OTCQB:BMTLF)(Frankfurt:1OI.F) (the "Company" or "BeMetals") is pleased to announce high-grade surface sampling results from geological reconnaissance field work, undertaken in October 2025 at its district-scale, Savant Gold Exploration Project ("Savant Project") located in northwestern Ontario (See Figure 1). The Company also provides an outline of exploration activities for 2026.Savant Project Highlights:Year-round access, with highway 599, and proximal to rail, power and mining service centres like Sioux Lookout and DrydenStrategic mining location in a highly prospective gold district in northwestern Ontario, surrounded by large mines and deposits (Musselwhite, Red Lake, Rainy River, Pickle Crow)District-scale land position (~24k hectares) hosting underexplored iron formations and favourable shear zones related to the 40-km long Kashaweogama Lake Fault Zone (potential conduits for gold mineralization)2025 Surface Sampling Highlights:34.7 grams per tonne ("g/t") Gold ("Au") grab sample in highly strained, fine grained metasedimentary rock with 20% quartz veiningCollected at the Wiggle Creek prospect (see Figure 2), 850 metres ("m") from previous diamond drilling, with historic surface sampling (notably 56.2 g/t Au), and is proximal to the Kashaweogama Lake Fault ZoneWithin walking distance to the provincial highwayBeMetals' Interim CEO, Kristen Reinertson, stated: "The Savant Project is a large and contiguous land position, well situated within highly prospective ground that requires exploration attention and effort to uncover new discoveries. Although preliminary in nature, finding a surface sample grading 34.7 g/t Au within walking distance to a provincial highway is highly encouraging, and together with previous surface sample results of 99.6 g/t Auand 56.2 g/t Au completed by Prospector Metals Corp. in 20221 from the Snowbird and Wiggle Creek showings, respectively, sets the tone for economic opportunities.Northwest Ontario is host to several large gold mines and gold deposits, some that have been in production for decades. After visiting the project last year, I know we are in a great location to potentially find something of size, and I am excited to kick-off our exploration programs commencing this spring."1. See press release dated August 15, 2022 (Prospector Identifies Second Gold Bearing Structural Corridor, Savant Project, Ontario: Bedrock Grab Samples Yield Values up to 99.6 g/t Au at the Snowbird-Shoal Deformation Zone).Savant Gold Exploration ProjectThe Savant Project is a district-scale (1,178 contiguous claims over 24,197.5 hectares) gold exploration property located in the Canadian Shield, within the western Wabigoon Greenstone belt, with a good plumbing system and large 40-km long regional structure, the Kashaweogama Lake Fault Zone (and the eastern extension referred to as the Wiggle Creek Deformation Zone, "WDZ"), which bisects the claim block, along with extensive, intensely folded, banded iron formations (BIF) cut by numerous major and secondary shear zones. There are numerous large mines and deposits in the region, including Musselwhite with current proven and probable mineral reserves of 1.5 million ounces ("Moz") at 6.43 g/t Au, (see Orla Mining Reserves & Resources); Red Lake with current proven and probable mineral reserves of 2.0 Moz at 4.20 g/t Au (see Evolution Mining Reserves & Resources), and Pickle Crow with current inferred mineral resources of 2.8 Moz at 7.2 g/t Au (see, Fire Fly Metals Mineral Resources).There has been limited historic drilling on the Savant Project to date, which only tested the iron formations with 59 drillholes totaling 6,357 metres, with little to no testing of BIF fold hinges or tight fold noses, areas that are usually high-priority opportunities for gold deposition. This provides BeMetals with the chance to incorporate previous data and focus new drilling on areas where recent and new exploration results show more encouraging prospectivity.2025 Surface Sampling ResultsA total of 68 grab samples were collected during the October 2025 field work, for which all assays have now been received.
