VANCOUVER, BC, May 5, 2026/PRNewswire/ -Luca Mining Corp.("Luca" or the "Company") (TSX-V: LUCA; OTCQX: LUCMF; Frankfurt: Z68) reports new assay results from its ongoing 2026 drilling program at the Tahuehueto gold-silver mine in Durango, Mexico.

Exploration drilling has continued to intersect high-grade gold mineralization in newly identified breccia zones, close to current mine workings, confirming continuity of breccia-hosted mineralization within the Creston vein system and confirming potential for near-mine resource expansion. It is anticipated that portions of these newly identified mineralized breccia zones can be readily included in resource models at the mine and be brought into production within one year.

Additionally, drill testing of the El Rey vein, which has not been mined since 1983 and has not been explored in any capacity for over 20 years, identified mineralized breccia zones – elevating the priority of the El Rey target and underscoring the mineral endowment of the Tahuehueto land package.

Two contracted diamond drill rigs are currently operating on site, with one dedicated to underground drilling and one to surface drilling. A Luca-owned and operated underground drill rig has also been added as the exploration campaign continues to grow. This expanded drill program reflects the Company's increased 2026 exploration budget at Tahuehueto, with an additional $2.4 million planned to be invested over the balance of the year.

Highlights

High-grade intercepts from surface drill holes targeting the Creston Vein, including:

6.8 metres ("m") of 5.54 g/t _AuEq_(4.08 g/t Au, 58.79 g/t Ag, 0.71% Cu, 0.74% Pb, 1.19% Zn)in hole DDH26-SU-07 including 1.0 m of 22.35 g/t _AuEq_(20.20 g/t Au, 72.70 g/t Ag, 1.13% Cu, 0.78% Pb, 2.65% Zn) 4.5 m of 4.50 g/t _AuEq_(2.23 g/t Au, 60.00 g/t Ag, 0.87% Cu, 2.16% Pb and 4.68% Zn) in hole DDH26-SU-04 including 2.6 m of 5.59 g/t _AuEq_(2.19 g/t Au, 89.88 g/t Ag, 1.35% Cu, 3.26% Pb and 6.72% Zn) 2.5 m of 3.57g/t _AuEq_(2.46 g/t Au, 32.34 g/t Ag, 0.32% Cu, 1.15% Pb and 2.60% Zn) in hole DDH26-SU-10, including1.3 m @ 4.94 g/t _AuEq_(4.02 g/t Au, 22.70 g/t Ag, 0.30% Cu, 1.11% Pb and 2.14% Zn)

Demonstrated continuity of mineralization confirmed in unmined areas from 10 to 70 m below Level 23, extending known high-grade breccia zones These intercepts exceed current mined grades and occur within development distance of existing underground infrastructure and are planned to be developed in the medium term Verified and expanded brecciated vein-related mineralization at the El Rey target: 3.3 m of 3.04 g/t _AuEq_(0.59 g/t Au, 88.54 g/t Ag, 0.12% Cu, 4.84% Pb and 5.60 % Zn) in hole DDH26-239, including 1.0 m @ 7.48 g/t _AuEq_(0.71 g/t Au, 207.00 g/t Ag, 0.33% Cu, 14.09% Pb, 17.79% Zn)

Results continue to validate the geologic model and highlight the expansion potential of these pervasive and consistent mineralized structures Two contracted diamond drill rigs are currently on site, one dedicated to underground drilling and one to surface drilling. A Luca owned and operated underground rig was added to the project this season as the exploration campaign grows

_"This latest round of surface drilling further confirms that high-grade breccia zones within the Creston Vein system remain unmined below current workings, and are expected to be included into near- and medium-term mine plans at Tahuehueto,"_said Paul D. Gray, VP Exploration. "Additionally, the EL Rey vein, an area not mined nor drill tested in over 20 years, was successfully intersected in every underground drillhole. This highlights the wealth of under-evaluated targets with potential unmined strike extensions which the Company is systematically testing to support the addition of new mineral resources into the near, medium and long term Tahuehueto mine plan."

Drill Results Summary

Drillholes DDH26-SU-04 through DDH26-SU-013 targeted a previously untested zone approximately 30-40 metres below active mine workings on Level 23 and along strike from Luca's successful Phase 1 2024-2025 underground drill program (See Company News Releases Dated February 20, 2025 and March 5, 2026).

All drillholes (with the exception of DDH26-SU-09 and DDH26-SU-13) intersected the Creston or El Rey vein structures in well-developed brecciated veins and confirm strike continuity of the high-grade breccia zone identified in prior drilling, on strike and down plunge.

To date, Luca has completed 40 underground holes for 8,268 m and 25 surface holes for 4,599 m using "HQ", "NQ" and/or "BQ" sized diamond drill core (Creston, Perdido, El Rey and Santiago targets).

About 2026 Tahuehueto Exploration Program

The Tahuehueto property comprises a large epithermal gold-silver vein system with approximately 11 kilometres of known vein strike length and numerous mineralized structures. Mineralization remains open along strike and at depth across most modeled Mineral Resource areas. The current campaigns represent the first substantive exploration drilling conducted on the property in more than 12 years, and the first since the addition of key concessions to the land package (See Company News Release dated August 28, 2025).

Luca's 2026 exploration program builds on the success of the 2025 campaign. The program is designed to expand known mineral resources, adding near-term mineable material and defining the vertical and lateral extent of mineralization, as well as to identify additional thick, high-grade breccia zones known to occur within the epithermal vein system, and test multiple underexplored vein systems.

In addition to the four veins that currently support the mineral resource, at least 14 additional prospective veins have been documented within the concession area with potential to host epithermal Au-Ag (±Cu-Zn-Pb) mineralization. In several cases, these targets may represent extensions of the existing mineralized structures.

Overall, the Company has identified more than 11 km of prospective vein structures along strike, compared to approximately 4.5 km of mineralized veins incorporated into the current mineral resource model, highlighting significant exploration upside across the property.
