20.03.2026  |  Newsfile

Saskatoon, March 20, 2026 - 1844 Resources Inc. (TSXV: EFF) ("1844" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has acquired an undivided 100% interest in two strategic mining claims in the Gaspé Peninsula, Québec, further consolidating its land position immediately adjacent to the flagship SV2 (Sullipek/Vortex/Vallières) copper project.

Sylvain Laberge, President & CEO, stated: "This acquisition is another deliberate step in our district-scale consolidation strategy. With drilling permits now secure, we are systematically tightening our hold on the same structural corridor that hosts Osisko Metals' Gaspé Copper redevelopment. These claims close a previous gap and reinforce our belief that the Gaspé remains one of the most compelling large-scale copper districts in North America."

The claims were acquired from arms length third-party vendors for $2,000 cash and 200,000 common shares at a deemed price of $0.035 per share. The transaction is subject to final TSX Venture Exchange approval.

2021 Obligations Fully Satisfied

The Company has also issued the final 625,000 shares required under the 2021 mineral rights acquisition agreement, completing all obligations to those arms length third-party vendors.

These actions demonstrate 1844's commitment to disciplined growth and position the Company to accelerate its upcoming work programs and technical releases in the coming weeks.

The share issued in acquisition of the new mineral claims, along with those satisfying the 2021 mineral rights acquisition are subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus a day ending on July 21, 2026, in accordance with the applicable securities legislation and policies of the Exchange.
