Drilling Intersects 204 Meters of Nickel-Cobalt-Chromium-Magnesium Mineralization Starting 18 Meters from Surface
Vancouver, December 4, 2025 - Inomin Mines Inc. (TSXV: MINE) ("Inomin" or the "Company") is pleased to report results from diamond drilling at the South zone of the 28,000 hectare Beaver-Lynx project in south-central, British Columbia, being explored in collaboration with Sumitomo Metal Mining Canada Ltd.
Drill hole B25-06 has returned the strongest interval of near-surface polymetallic mineralization drilled to date at the South zone intersecting 204 meters (m) grading 0.20% nickel, 0.011% cobalt, 0.35% chromium and 23.83% magnesium starting at bedrock 18 meters from surface. Drill hole B25-04 intersected 123 meters grading 0.18% nickel, 0.012% cobalt, 0.45% chromium and 23.12% magnesium, and drill hole B25-05 intersected 138.5 meters grading 0.16% nickel, 0.010% cobalt, 0.31% chromium and 20.19% magnesium. These drill holes are located approximately 200 metres north and south from previous drilling and confirms further continuity of mineralization over substantial thickness and area.
Summary - Holes B2025-04 to 06 from 2025 Drilling at Beaver Property

| Including | 171.00 | 264.50 | 93.50 | 0.20 | 0.012 | 0.39 | 23.84 |
| B25-06 | 18.00 | 222.00 | 204.00 | 0.20 | 0.011 | 0.35 | 23.83 |
| Including | 18.00 | 63.00 | 45.00 | 0.21 | 0.011 | 0.33 | 22.61 |
| Including | 78.00 | 192.00 | 114.00 | 0.21 | 0.011 | 0.34 | 24.39 |
* Note: Samples were analyzed by Activation Laboratories Ltd ("Actlabs") for a 22-element suite utilizing their 8-Peroxide (Total) Fusion, ICP-OES (FUS-Na202). The resulting grade for nickel includes both silicate and sulphide components of nickel. A secondary partial digestion technique is currently being developed by Actlabs for Inomin to ascertain the sulphide nickel fraction only and will be utilized on all higher grading nickel values and will be reported on when complete. Actlabs, located in Kamloops, BC, is ISO 17025-accredited. The relationship between Inomin and Actlabs is strictly arms-length, limited to the laboratory's commercial supply of analytical services. The reported intervals are based on core length and true thicknesses will be calculated once all results have been received and cross-sections have been created. The dips of the holes were intended to be close to perpendicular to the strike of mineralization. QAQC protocols were followed, including the introduction of field blanks and standards, custody of the core, and normal QAQC laboratory protocols. Drillcore was split using a conventional manual core splitter and power saw with a representative fraction sent to the laboratory and the remainder cached on site.
John Gomez, President of Inomin, states, "The latest drill results materially expand the mineral footprint of the South zone. The mineralization continues to be relatively consistent in grade and further demonstrates the South zone's potential for large volumes of bulk-tonnage-style polymetallic mineralization. We look forward to receiving analytical results from the remaining seven drill holes."
2025 Beaver-Lynx Drilling Program
The 2025 exploration program at Beaver-Lynx includes thirteen drill holes totaling 3,361.8 metres of drilling. Drilling was completed using HQ-sized drill rods due to the difficult nature of the cored material, NQ downsizing often necessary at depths that make continuation of drilling problematic. Twelve holes, spaced approximately 200 metres apart, were drilled in the South zone of the Project. The objective of South zone drilling is to test continuity of known mineralization delineated by previous drilling. One hole was also drilled in the North zone to test a new priority target to expand the North zone's discovery footprint. Drilling at the North zone has discovered significant mineralization on high magnetic features that extend over 7 kilometres in strike length.
A summary of the drill collar information for the program follows:

The South and North zones are two of several large, mineralized zones identified by drilling and magnetic surveys at the Beaver block of the Project. The adjoining Lynx block, 10 kilometres south of the Beaver block, hosts multiple targets comparable and potentially larger in size than found on the Beaver block, illustrating the Project's district-scale potential.
Collaboration with Sumitomo
The 2025 Beaver-Lynx exploration program is being undertaken in collaboration with Sumitomo Metal Mining Canada Ltd. ("Sumitomo") that is funding the exploration. Sumitomo can earn an interest in the project through an earn-in and joint venture agreement with the Company. Inomin is the operator of the Beaver-Lynx project.
About Beaver-Lynx
The Beaver-Lynx property comprises approximately 28,000 hectares and is ideally located in south-central British Columbia, 50 kilometres from the city of Williams Lake and adjacent to the Gibraltar mine property, the second largest open-pit copper mine in Canada. Beaver-Lynx is easily accessible by good all-season roads, and is close to hydro-electric power, as well as active railway lines.
Exploration, including drilling, has demonstrated the project may host large volumes of nickel and magnesium. Drilling has also intersected cobalt, chromium, copper, silver, and gold. Given positive initial drilling results - as well as multiple, large-scale, mineral zones - the Beaver-Lynx project has the potential to be a major source of critical minerals.
