Event Summary

North American Niobium and Critical Minerals Corporation has completed a successful winter drill program at its Seigneurie project in Canada — Quebec. The program delineated a pegmatite-syenite system extending at least 1.5 kilometers east-west and 800 meters north-south. Multiple drill holes, including SGN-2026-07 and SGN-2026-08, intersected significant cumulative metres of pegmatite, with SGN-2026-07 yielding 211.25 metres and SGN-2026-008 yielding 108.60 metres. These intersections show strong indicators of Niobium and Rare-earth element mineralization. Murray Nye, CEO of North American Niobium and Critical Minerals Corporation, expressed optimism about the potential size of the system. Assays for all nine drilled holes are pending, with petrography planned to identify carrier minerals. The company also expanded the analytical suite for hole SGN-2026-003 to include copper and gold. Additionally, North American Niobium and Critical Minerals Corporation retained Venture Liquidity Providers Inc. for market-making services.
