HM Exploration Acquires High Grade Copper VMS Project in Newfoundland

Vancouver, September 29, 2025 – HM Exploration Corp. (“HM Exploration” or “HM” or the “Company”) (CSE:HM) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an option agreement (the “Agreement”) dated September 25, 2025 with Great Atlantic Resources Corp. (the “Optionor”) to acquire a 100% interest in the Pilley’s Island Copper Project (the “Project”), located in Newfoundland, Canada (the “Acquisition”). Highlights: * The reported reserves are historical in nature and are not considered current mineral resources or mineral reserves as defined by NI 43-101. The Company has not done sufficient work to classify these estimates as current, and a qualified person has not verified them. About the Project The Project consists of eight (8) mineral licenses encompassing a total land area of 12.25km2 and is located in Notre Dame Bay, Newfoundland – Canada. The Project has a long history of mining and exploration dating back to the late 1800’s when the Pilley’s Island Pyrite Company Ltd. produced approximately 450,000 tonnes of massive pyritic ore from the Pilley’s Island Mine – Old Mines (after Kerr, 1996). The Project is road accessible and situated ~25 kilometers east of the town of Springdale, approximately 210 kilometers from the town of Gander and ~150 kilometers from the Pine Cove Mill and Port by way of major roads. The Pilley’s Island Project hosts a cluster of Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide (VMS) systems and prospects with demonstrated high-grade Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag intersections. Mineralization is typical bimodal-felsic VMS, with both massive sulfide and sulfide-clast breccias (Thurlow, 2001). The geological setting is directly analogous to the Buchans camp (Thurlow, 1996), and the presence of sulfide-clast breccias is a strong vector toward proximal massive sulfide lenses. Deep drilling has confirmed a large hydrothermal system with significant sulfide development. Further systematic exploration, particularly at depth and along strike of the Clifford Jones/Fragmental Zones is currently being planned. Many historic programs focused on shallow high-grade showings; deeper targets were only sporadically tested (Brinex, 1967). The Bull Road and Fragmental Zones were not systematically drilled along strike or down plunge (Hum, 1983). Geophysical anomalies adjacent to known zones were not followed up with drilling (Altius, 2001). Jasper Zone intersections (deep sulfides) were recognized but not fully explored with modern vectoring techniques (Altius/Inmet, 2003). Figure 1: Regional map of Newfoundland displaying the location of the Pilley’s Island project and other significant mineral exploration and mining projects in Newfoundland – Canada. Geology & Mineralization The Project is located within the Notre Dame Subzone of the Dunnage Tectonostratigraphic Zone. Of note, most of the Project is underlain by Ordovician submarine volcanic rocks of the Roberts Arm Group which is regionally identified as part of a mature arc sequence referred to as the Buchans-Roberts Arm Belt that also hosts the historic Buchan’s mine (after Dunning et. Al., 1987). Mineralization occurs as low grade (Spencer’s Dock); medium grade (Old Mines); and high grade (3B-Zone/Clifford Jones) deposits that are of both sub-seafloor replacement and exhalative varieties. The deposits are often flanked by extensive chlorite, sericite, silica, K-feldspar and epidote alteration often observed in bimodal-felsic VMS systems. The Spencer’s Dock area displays sericite/silica alteration that generally increases in intensity near mineralized zones, while the 3B/ Old Mine areas display sericite/silica alteration that is abundant but less widespread and is more intense when proximal to mineralized zones (after Kerr, 1996). Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide deposits are a globally significant source of copper, zinc, lead, silver, and gold. The Project’s geology shares key characteristics with known VMS districts in Newfoundland, including the past producing Buchans, Ming and Rambler Mines supporting the exploration potential of the property. From north to south the Project is underlain by: Lushes Bight Group – Lower Ordovician Composed of pillow basalts, pillow breccias, aquagene tuffs, massive basalt flows, flow breccias, and chlorite schist Springdale Group – Silurian Terrestrial sequence of volcanics, pyroclastics, epiclastic to volcaniclastic sediments Roberts Arm Group – Middle Ordovician The Roberts Arm Group, which hosts known mineralization, is complexly faulted and consist of an older tholeiitic terrane overlain by more calc-alkaline thrust slices. It is suggested that it represents an evolution from tholeiitic, back arc basalts to calc-alkaline intermediate to felsic volcanics deposited at about the time of continental collision in a neritic to littoral environment (after Bostock – 1988). Figure 2: Property map of the Pilley’s Island project displaying historical showings/zones located on the property. ** Historic intercept lengths have been converted from feet to meters and Ag/Au results have been converted from oz/t to g/t. Prospective Areas Bull Road – Clifford Jones Zone / Fragmental Showing The Bull Road – Clifford Jones Zone / Fragmental showings are a re-sedimented, polylithic breccia containing abundant high-grade Zn-Pb-Cu sulfide clasts similar to the breccia ores at Buchan’s. The showings, are significant and suggests the potential for an ore-grade deposit source (after Consolidated Morrison Ltd., 1979). ** Historic intercept lengths have been converted from feet to meters and Ag/Au results have been converted from oz/t to g/t. 3B – Zone Hole 42 Old Mines *The Project hosts the historic Pilley’s Island Mine, which operated during the 1890s and early 1900s. The Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Natural Resources reports historic estimated proven reserves of 1.159 million tonnes grading 1.23% Cu (referencing Grimley, 1968 as the source) in their Mineral Occurrence Database. These historical estimates of reserves are not reliable. The historical estimates are only relevant to the extent of identifying an area on the Project for research and possible future exploration. The key assumptions, parameters, and methods used to prepare the historical estimates are not known. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimates as current resources or current reserves. A qualified person would need to complete sufficient work following CIM Best Practice Guidelines to upgrade or verify the historical estimates as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. This would almost certainly require additional exploration in the way of diamond drilling, trenching and / or underground work and corresponding sampling all of which must follow CIM Exploration Best Practice Guidelines. HM Exploration does not

HM PRESENTS RESULTS OF PHASE ONE EXPLORATION PROGRAM AT THE DEVIL’S DEN PROJECT

Vancouver, B.C. – HM Exploration Corp. (“HM Exploration” or the “Company”) (CSE: HM) is pleased to present the results of its Phase One exploration program at the Company’s Devil’s Den Project (the “Project”) located west of Port Alberni, British Columbia. “We have finished processing our data collected from the Phase One program at the Devil’s Den Project.” said the Company’s Director & CEO Nicholas Rodway. “The newly acquired data has produced high resouloution magnetic coverage over the project as well as the first ever lithogeochemical map of the Project. This new data will be invaluable for further evaluating the potenal at Devils Den. We look forward to providing further updates as we get closer to the 2025 summer  field season.” Results of UAV Magnetic Survey The results from a high-resolution unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) magnetic survey recently completed by the Company has defined several high-priority follow-up targets. These targets were further reinforced by integrating results from recent prospecting and lithogeochemical surveys conducted by the Company. Of particular note, there are two zones that exhibit structural complexity, hydrothermal alteration, and elevated copper, zinc, and nickel geochemistry. Additionally, the high-resolution UAV survey identified a series of previously unrecognized northwest-southeast trending structures. The figures below show the geophysical results with the structural/lineament interpretation superimposed on both maps. Lithogeochemical Survey The existing geological map covering the project area was published by the British Columbia Geological Survey in 2017 as Open File 2017-08 (Cui et al., 2017). This map provides a generalized geological framework characterized primarily by two lithological units, which inadequately represent the area’s true geological complexity. According to this previous interpretation, a north-northwest trending lithological boundary divides the property, separating volcanic rocks of the Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation in the east from granodioritic and quartz dioritic intrusive rocks of the Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite to the west. Historical geological work and field observations within the project area and regionally have indicated substantial lithological variability within the Karmutsen volcanic sequence. To address this, the company initiated a comprehensive lithogeochemical survey aimed at generating a property-scale geochemical dataset to better characterize and delineate the volcanic units within the Karmutsen Formation. The updated geological interpretation and lithogeochemical sampling locations are presented in Figure 2. Integration of lithogeochemical data with results from a magnetic survey has highlighted distinct geochemical variations within the volcanic sequences, providing valuable insights for future exploration targeting. Key outcomes from this integrated analysis are as follows: This refined geological interpretation provides an enhanced framework to guide future exploration activities on the property. Two mineralised zones were identified in the field and subsequently analysed using pXRF. In the northern part of the property, a roadside outcrop exhibited copper oxide staining and returned elevated copper values of up to 0.6% Cu. This occurrence corresponds to the historically documented MINFILE “West Dauntless” showing and aligns with a northwest-trending structural feature identified in the geophysical interpretation. In the southwest portion of the property, a second outcrop hosting malachite mineralisation was identified. This location coincides with the MINFILE occurrence “J.F”, and pXRF analyses returned copper values of up to 4.3% Cu. Similar to the Dauntless West showing, this mineralisation is also associated with a northwest-trending structural lineament highlighted by the geophysical survey. The company’s current working hypothesis suggests that northwest-trending structural features exert a stronger control on mineralisation than previously recognised. Consequently, these structural orientations will be the focus of targeted investigation in future exploration programs. About the Phase One Program The Phase One exploration program (the “Program”) consisted of the collection of 355 line-kilometers of high-resolution unmanned airborne vehicle (UAV) geophysical magnetic data, prospecting of historical copper and gold showings, and a property-wide litho-geochemical mapping study consisting of 101 Portable X-Ray Floresence readings. The UAV airborne geophysical survey was flown at a line spacing of 50 to 100 meters using a drone-deployed high-sensitivity potassium magnetometer. The sensor height was maintained at 60 meters above the terrain using advanced terrain-following flight software. This approach leveraged modern UAV technology to acquire high-resolution magnetic data in a time- and cost-efficient manner. The flight plan was executed to cover historical and recently discovered high-grade copper mineralization, as well as areas with limited historical exploration. The high-resolution data is currently being processed, and the results will be used to better define faults and structures that are presumed to act as fluid corridors for the mineralization observed at the surface.
