Terra Balcanica Drills 636 g/t Ag Eq. Over 4.3 m At Cumavici Ridge in Bosnia and Herzegovina Vancouver, British Columbia, Feb. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA; FRA:UB1; OTC:TEBAF) is pleased to announce further high-grade assay results from the Phase III drill campaign at the Cumavici Ridge polymetallic, epithermal vein zone within its principal Viogor-Zanik project in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina. Highlights Drillhole CMV25004 intersected 636 g/t Ag Eq. over 4.3 m including: 1,757 g/t Ag Eq over 0.8 m1,319 g/t Ag Eq over 0.4 m CMV25004 has tested new ground with the collar located 54 m southeast of CMVDD003 which reported 465.5 g/t Ag Eq. over 8.7 m and 27 m SW of CMV23004 which reported 1,168 g/t Ag Eq. over 1.35 m; Results confirm the high-grade nature and continuity of mineralisation at Cumavici Ridge, which marks just one vein system within the wider Cumavici license area; Mineralization at Cumavici remains open along strike and down dip to southwest; Additional Phase III drill testing of the Cumavici Ridge system continues. Terra Balcanica CEO, Dr. Aleksandar Mišković, commented: “Terra continues proving up our flagship shallow, fault hosted, epithermal system. The drill intercepts with individual samples up to 7.23% Sb, 23.4% Zn 3.69 g/t Au and 420 g/t Ag alongside 12.5% Pb attest to the exceptional base and precious metal endowment at Cumavici Ridge. The drilling will continue by focusing on the system extension westward and down dip. We are committed to advancing our portfolio of critical metals and remain an exceptional investment opportunity considering the proximity of our assets to the existing Sase mine infrastructure and our position adjacent to the European markets.” Hole ID From (m) To (m) Length (m) Ag (g/t) Au (g/t) Sb (%) Pb (%) Zn (%) Ag Eq.

Assay results from drillholes CMV25003 and CMV25004 with the interval lengths reported as drilled lengths, not true widths given that true morphology of the mineralized zone is undetermined. Silver equivalents (“AgEq”) are based on assumed metal prices of US$4,950/oz for gold (Au), US$77/oz for silver (Ag), US$1.49/lb for zinc (Zn), US$21/lb for antimony (Sb) and US$0.86/lb for lead (Pb). Assumed metal recoveries of 90% Au, 93% Ag, 95% Sb, 94% Pb and 94% Zn were applied to all the laboratory assays and are based on recent published metallurgical tests from analogous polymetallic deposits in Bosnia.

Massive, dark sulphide intervals can be observed in the lower box, correlating to the Ag-Sb mineralization while banded honey brown segment in the central part of the upper core box indicates Zn-Pb rich zone (click here to view image). Drillcore ObservationsThe mineralisation encountered in drillholes CMV25003 and CMV25004 are examples of the typical high grade, massive sulphides of polymetallic nature present within the Cumavici target. The Cumavici Ridge mineralization, which includes the reported drillholes is just one example of a series of underexplored polymetallic veins that form part of a regional NW/SE trending epithermal system. Mineralization is typified by massive sulphides which can be broadly grouped into a silver-antimony rich, sulphosalts-dominant interval and a colloform banded orange-purple zinc-lead interval of massive sphalerite-galena.

Geology of Cumavici RidgeThe Cumavici license is dominated by volcanic rocks (tuffs and pyroclastic breccias) which have been crosscut by generally NW-SE trending structures and are part of a large epithermal mineral system. Mineralization is silver and antimony dominant with further gold-lead-zinc (Figure 2). Terra’s drilling has confirmed three polymetallic systems so far: Joseva, Cumavici Crest, and the flagship vein system at Cumavici Ridge. The Cumurnica and Kazani targets remain to be drilled. Mineralisation is characterised by sphalerite-stibnite-galena and further sulphosalts minerals which are associated with quartz and calcite veining and breccia cement. The mineralisation occupies faults which cro
