VANCOUVER, May 22, 2025 - Foran Mining Corp. (TSX: FOM) (OTCQX: FMCXF) ("Foran" or the "Company") announces that it has responded to a regional wildfire evacuation order that includes its McIlvenna Bay Project site (the "Project"). All non-essential personnel and contractors are being demobilized from site as a precautionary measure, with completion anticipated by the end of today. The evacuation has been undertaken out of an abundance of caution and in close coordination with local emergency services and fire authorities.

The Company has implemented all necessary measures to protect its personnel, and a limited number of essential staff will remain on-site to ensure the safety and security of the Project. All personnel are safe and accounted for, and the Company is planning for an orderly and timely return to full-scale construction activities.

Foran Executive Chairman & CEO Dan Myerson stated, "The safety and wellbeing of our employees, contractors, neighbours and the community remain our highest priority. We are working closely with the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency ("SPSA") to actively support our site team and ensure a safe, orderly, and effective return to full operations at the earliest appropriate opportunity. We are deeply grateful for the support received to date, and we will provide updates as the situation evolves."
