Rugby Resources Ltd. Provides Update on Arrangement with Pampa Metals
At the Meeting, shareholders will consider and vote on a Special Resolution (the 'Arrangement Resolution') approving the previously announced Statutory Plan of Arrangement (the 'Arrangement') involving the acquisition by Pampa Metals Corp. ('Pampa Metals') of 100% of the outstanding common shares of Rugby ('Rugby Shares'). Pursuant to the Arrangement, Rugby shareholders will receive one common share of Pampa Metals for every 6.4 Rugby Shares held. In addition, as part of the Arrangement, Rugby shareholders will also receive common shares (Aegis Shares) of a newly incorporated mineral exploration company, Aegis Resources Ltd. (Aegis) on the basis of one Aegis Share for every 10 Rugby Shares held.
To be effective, the Arrangement Resolution must be passed by at least two-thirds (66⅔%) of the votes cast by all Rugby shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting. The Circular is available under Rugby's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and posted on Rugby's website. To access the Circular Click here .
Following the closing of the Arrangement, Aegis will hold a 20% free-carried interest in the Cobrasco project (carried to completion of a feasibility study), a prospective, potentially high-grade copper-molybdenum porphyry in Colombia, a 1.5% NSR in the Mantau copper-gold project in north eastern Chile and a minority joint venture interest in the Georgetown porphyry copper project in Queensland, Australia. In addition, Aegis will hold the prospective El Zanjon and Venidero projects, potentially high grade epithermal gold silver targets in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina.
In addition, at closing of the Arrangement, Aegis will be a reporting issuer in British Columbia and Alberta. Management of Aegis does not intend to apply to list the Aegis Shares on any recognized stock exchange at this time. Management of Aegis will assess all Aegis's options and determine the best course of action for Aegis, including considering an application to list the Aegis Shares on a stock exchange in the future. There can be no assurance as to if, or when, the Aegis Shares will be listed for trading on any stock exchange.
Upon the recommendation of its Special Committee, the board of directors of Rugby, after careful consideration, has unanimously determined that the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to Rugby shareholders and that the Arrangement is in the best interest of Rugby. Accordingly, the Rugby board of directors unanimously recommends that Rugby shareholders vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution.
On June 3, 2025, Rugby received conditional acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange ('TSXV') for the Arrangement. In addition, on June 11, 2025, Rugby was granted an interim order of the Supreme Court of British Columbia (the 'Court') in connection with the Arrangement. Completion of the Arrangement is conditional upon, among others, receipt of a final order by the Court and final acceptance of the TSXV. The Court hearing in respect of the final order is expected to take place at 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) on Tuesday July 22, 2025 (or as soon thereafter as legal counsel can be heard).
Yale Simpson, Rugby's Chairman stated ' I recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution. We are confident that following the closing of the Arrangement Pampa Metals' management will immediately commence the rapid evaluation of the Cobrasco project. The advancement of Cobrasco should lead to a natural reassessment of the value of Aegis due to its 20% free-carried interest in Cobrasco .'
Additionally, Pampa Metals has announced a non-brokered private placement LIFE Offering for gross proceeds of $6,000,000 through the issuance of 37,500,000 common shares at a price of $0.16. Subject to completion of the Arrangement, Pampa Metals intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to fund exploration drilling at the Cobrasco copper porphyry discovery in Colombia, preparatory work for the upcoming field season at the Piuquenes copper-gold discovery in Argentina, and working capital and general corporate purposes, as more specifically described in the Amended Offering Document ( refer July 4, 2025 News Release (CSE:PM)).
There are risks associated with the Arrangement and there is no guarantee that the Arrangement will be completed as planned. For a complete list of risks associated with the Arrangement see the risk factors sections of the Circular.

A Week In Queens On A $109,697 Salary
Welcome to Money Diaries where we are tackling the ever-present taboo that is money. We're asking real people how they spend their hard-earned money during a seven-day period — and we're tracking every last dollar. Today: an outreach director who makes $109,000 per year and who spends some of her money this week on borscht. Occupation: Outreach director Industry: Public health Age: 28 Location: Queens, NY Salary: $109,697 Assets: Checking account: $1,446.32; savings account: $2,167.70; HYSA (emergency fund): $20,000; 403(b): $16,843.27; pension: $11,355.02; bonds: $3,348.80; Roth IRA: $7,486.37; brokerage account: $28,631.48. Debt: $0 Paycheck Amount (2x/month): $4,190 (this is before any taxes/deductions are taken out). Pronouns: she/her Monthly Expenses Housing Costs: $1,400 for my room in a two-bedroom. I share the apartment with my roommate, C., but my girlfriend V. and I are planning to move in together next summer. We've been together for three and a half years, and currently live in the same neighborhood. Renter's Insurance: $10 Internet: $35 Utilities: $48 Pension: $500 Health Insurance: $110 403(b): $950 Transit Card: $132 (taken out of my paycheck pre-tax). Spotify: $12.78 iCloud: $2.99 Gym: $31.35 per month + a $62.69 yearly fee (my health insurance is supposed to partially reimburse for this but no word since I submitted the forms months ago… This is reminding me to follow up with them!). Phone Bill: $0 — I am still on my family's plan. CSA: $40 per month for my half of a farm share split with my partner, V. We split a big box of produce every two weeks from June to November. Was there an expectation for you to attend higher education? Did you participate in any form of higher education? If yes, how did you pay for it? It was definitely an expectation that I go to college. After college I wanted to pursue grad school, and I debated between law school and a Master of Public Health. I was working at a law firm and not really enjoying it, so decided to get my MPH. My parents and grandparents paid for all of my higher education (both were private universities). I am really lucky and grateful to have had so much financial support for my education. Growing up, what kind of conversations did you have about money? Did your parent(s) educate you about finances? We did not talk about money very much, but I knew we had enough. Both of my parents worked full time until last year. I always go to my mom for financial advice: She is very frugal, and usually advises very secure measures, like opening up CDs. What was your first job and why did you get it? I babysat in high school and started lifeguarding and teaching swim lessons at the town pool when I was 16. I did this to earn money to buy clothes, go out to eat, etc. Did you worry about money growing up? No. My mom went through layoffs a few times, but she always found another job. I'm sure my parents had money stress but they didn't share it with us. We went on vacation every summer and went out to eat regularly. Do you worry about money now? Not day to day, and I am grateful that my job pays me really well and I don't have any loans. I definitely feel stressed working in public health in this political climate: So many people in the field are getting laid off due to grant terminations and funding cuts. I worry that if I lose this job it will take me a long time to find another, and I know I will likely have a lower salary wherever I work next, given the reality of public health funding right now. At what age did you become financially responsible for yourself and do you have a financial safety net? When I graduated from my master's program at 26. I lived at home for a year after college, commuting from my parents' house to save money. I had part-time jobs throughout college and grad school, but tuition was by far the biggest expense, and my family covered that. My family is definitely my financial safety net, and they still cover me on a family phone bill. I could move back in with my parents if I ever needed to. Do you or have you ever received passive or inherited income? If yes, please explain. My grandparents passed away within a year of each other, and left me around $7,000 combined. Day One: Monday 7 a.m. — I wake up and do my usual skincare routine and makeup (Cetaphil face wash, La Roche-Posay moisturizer, Neutrogena sunscreen, Clinique concealer, a NYX jumbo eyeshadow pencil in a pearly color, and Ilia mascara). Then I get dressed (green thrifted trousers and a black Gap sweater) and eat breakfast. I have full-fat plain Greek yogurt with coconut chips, a few dark chocolate chips, and a drizzle of pomegranate molasses. I also take my probiotic because I'm still trying to heal my stomach after being knocked out by Norovirus a few months ago! I make coffee to go and grab the lunch I made yesterday and some snacks to bring to work. I say hi to my roommate C. before heading out the door. 7:50 a.m. — I leave the apartment and walk five minutes to the subway. I tap to pay with the transit card I get from work (the price of a monthly metro card is deducted from my paycheck so I'm not taxed on it). I start one of my library books — I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman — on the train. My girlfriend V. Venmo-requests me $69 to settle up our fees from our recent trip to Ireland. We almost evened out with what we paid for but this last bit covers the difference from the car rental. $69 8:40 a.m. — I arrive at work and prepare some slides for a meeting tomorrow. Then I meet with my managers briefly and go over plans for the week. 12:30 p.m. — I head to a big conference room where some coworkers from other sites are having a meeting. There is lunch so I can save my packed lunch for tomorrow, yay! The meeting is a little boring but it's good to catch up in-person with people who I usually only see on video calls. 3 p.m. — I head back to my desk and follow up on emails about upcoming events and pending projects. I start feeling anxious because I didn't get to leave the building today, which always makes me restless (my cubicle is in a room with fluorescent lights and no windows, lol). 4:45 p.m. — I leave work and start walking to meet my friend T. I call V. on the way. She was supposed to sleep at mine but since I may be out late with T., I offer to come to V.'s apartment afterwards instead. T. meets me at a Polish diner and we catch up. We each get a cup of soup (borscht for me) and split a breaded pork chop with mashed potatoes and cucumber salad. We also each get a soda. Perfect meal alert... We split the check. $22.90 7 p.m. — T. saw that a singer that she likes is having a pop-up show in Soho so we decide to check it out. We take the bus there and it's all 22-year-olds filming TikToks. We laugh and stay for a bit and meet up with our other friend. The three of us go to a nearby dive bar which is very fun. T. goes on an impassioned rant when she hears I've never seen the movie The Dark Knight. I promise to watch it. I get a beer and tip. I kind of want a second one but hold off. $10 9:45 p.m. — I realize it's getting pretty late for a Monday so I head to the subway. I take the train to V.'s. 10:30 p.m. — When I get to V.'s, I shower, then we debrief our days and fall asleep around 11:30 p.m. Daily Total: $101.90 Day Two: Tuesday 6:50 a.m. — I wake up at V.'s and regret this scheme to go get my work clothes in the morning. Luckily we live very close. I walk the 10 minutes over to my apartment and do my skincare, get dressed (cropped pants from Loft and a black Muji blouse) and put on makeup. I eat yogurt with coconut flakes and pomegranate molasses and make coffee to go. 7:40 a.m. — I tap with my prepaid card to take the subway. 8:20 a.m. — I do my everyday morning tasks at work but then feel a bit unmotivated. I spend some extra time reading the news and browsing social media before typing up some notes for a meeting at noon. I snack on some Belvita and drink my coffee. 12 p.m. — I have a quick meeting with one of the doctors about a podcast we are going to be on (I work with doctors at this job, which can be intimidating, but luckily she is nice). I take a break for lunch and sit in the very depressing cafeteria instead of going for a walk because it's raining. I read my book and heat up the lunch I brought yesterday (brown rice with eggplant and red pepper stir-fry). I decide to also get a bag of plantain chips from the vending machine since I don't have any snacks for the afternoon and I already know I will get hungry. $1.75 1 p.m. — I get a $30 charge from a therapist I tried out a few weeks ago when I was having bad anxiety. She gave me some helpful tips but I'm not sure I want to fully commit to therapy again. I was in it for three years starting in 2020 and it was very helpful, but it's a big commitment! $30 4:20 p.m. — I leave work and walk to Trader Joe's. I get a big haul: lemons, oranges, bananas, peaches, an avocado, frozen mango and blueberries, pecans, beans, pasta, frozen Korean rice cakes, yogurt, eggs, bread, harissa, sausages, tofu, and my fave flowers: peonies! I walk to the subway and tap to pay. $77 5:30 p.m. — I head to the first CSA pickup of the season! V. and I split a half-share from a farm that provides a CSA program for our neighborhood. Last year we did a full share and it was too much to keep up with. V. is volunteering at the pick-up spot today, so I stop by to take half of our box and give her a kiss. I take Swiss chard, lemon balm, thyme, a mystery dark green I haven't tried (update: I think it was gai choy — Chinese mustard greens), onions, potatoes, and carrots from the box. When I get home, I unpack my bounty and stall hard because I do not want to go for a run. I eat a cereal bar and watch some fashion/lifestyle vloggers on YouTube — I love Jenny Bourn, Nina Montagne, and Sarah Gray's channels. 7 p.m. — I begrudgingly head out for a 4.5-mile run. I am running the NYC marathon this November and I'm intimidated by my training plan! It's my first marathon so I'm trying to get in the habit of running even when I don't feel like it. The run becomes more pleasant once I get to a nearby park and see everyone enjoying the summer night. 8 p.m. — I get back to the apartment and I cook up the Swiss chard with chicken sausage and orzo for dinner. I save half of it for lunch tomorrow, then chat with C., shower, and do a Koros face mask. 10:30 p.m. — I get into bed, FaceTime V., then read more of my book. Lights out at 11:30 p.m. Daily Total: $108.75 Day Three: Wednesday 7 a.m. — I wake up, do my usual skincare/makeup and get dressed (a vintage red blouse and brown Uniqlo pants). I'm sick of my normal breakfast so I decide to make a smoothie (spinach, banana, frozen blueberries/mango, and kefir). 7:45 a.m. — I head out and take the subway to work. 8:30 a.m. — I get to work and spend the morning in a bunch of virtual meetings. At some point, I jump off to go to a surgery training room where we are hoping to host an outreach event later in the summer. It's very cool to see a fake surgery and I'm excited to host an event here! 12 p.m. — I have more meetings until 1 p.m., then I go sit outside to eat the lunch I brought and keep reading my book. Yay sunshine! I hate being inside the building all day. 4:45 p.m. — This afternoon was spent making sure everything is set for an outreach event I am hosting tomorrow. I'm pretty anxious about it, but hopefully it goes okay. I walk to the subway and tap to pay. I read my book more on the subway and get very close to finishing. 5:30 p.m. — I'm home and I finish reading I Who Have Never Known Men! It was so good, I highly recommend it. I browse Reddit and Goodreads to see what other people thought of it. Then I make a quick dinner: leftover brown rice, a fried egg, and spinach with the mystery CSA greens cooked down in garlic and soy sauce. It does the job for a light pre-workout dinner. 7:10 p.m. — I head out to my workout class. This studio is in between me and V.'s apartments and has good classes, so I got a 10-pack a while ago that I'm still working through. Today's class is a mix of mat Pilates and strength training, which I love. It's hard but fun so I reserve a spot in the same class next week. 8:40 p.m. — I head to V.'s and shower. We debrief our various work stressors and go to bed around 10:30 p.m. Daily Total: $0 Day Four: Thursday 7:30 a.m. — I can go into work a little later today because I'll be staying late for the event. The change in routine should be great but it's throwing me off a bit. I have breakfast with V. (Greek yogurt with strawberries she got when she volunteered with the CSA) and get dressed (linen midi skirt from Muji and a black short sleeve button down that I borrowed from V. and swore I would return, lol). 9 a.m. — I get on the subway and head to work. 9:40 a.m. — I arrive at work and I'm still feeling anxious about the event later. I have a meeting and answer some emails. 1 p.m. — I go to a nearby deli for lunch and get a chicken Caesar wrap. I like this place because they include chips and a pickle, plus they give a cash discount. $9.79 1:15 p.m. — I swing by Target to get a liter of soda for tonight's event. I eat half of my wrap outside before going back in. $3.44 3:30 p.m. — I get everything set up for the event, then I go to pick up the catering down the street. When I get there, I realize I'm woefully unprepared to carry it all on the block back to work, but luckily the guy working there offers to help. I tip him $6, which is unfortunately all the cash I have in my wallet. The food was paid for by one of the groups we are hosting the event with. $6 5 p.m. — Tonight's event is with two community groups we are trying to partner with more. It goes well, except for the fact everyone is overheating from the lack of AC in this room. I make a mental note not to reserve this room again during the summer months. Overall, I'm happy with how it goes and very relieved it is over! 8 p.m. — I drop the leftover food in our office fridge and head out. Long day! I decide to take the ferry home instead of the subway. It was so hot out today, so I sit outside on the top deck and enjoy the sunset and breeze. I buy a 10-pack of ferry tickets because it brings the cost down to $2.90 each (same price as the subway!). I pay for these with my credit card because I don't have enough on my work transit card. $29 9 p.m. — I stop at my friend's apartment to feed her two cats while she is away. She lives close to me and V. so we split the cat-sitting duties. They're soooo cute so I'm happy to see them. When I walk home, it's still hot out and I decide to get a vanilla milkshake, which is a delicious treat for my walk home. $7.12 10 p.m. — I get home and shower. I'm in bed by 10:30 p.m. but I don't fall asleep until 11:30-ish because it's hot in my room (I desperately need to put in my AC unit). Daily Total: $26.35 Day Five: Friday 4:45 a.m. — I'm up at this ungodly hour because one of the doctors invited me to join her on a podcast and they record at 6:30 a.m. It's a cool opportunity and it means I'll get to leave work early today, so I don't really mind. I'm not that hungry because it's so early so I have my probiotic with a banana and make coffee to go. I do my makeup and get a little more dressed up than usual in case we take pictures. I wear a thrifted silk midi skirt, a short sleeve turtleneck from Zara, and my Vagabond Mary Janes. 5:30 a.m. — I do a slightly shorter commute than usual to get to the recording studio. 7 a.m. — The podcast is done, it was fun! I head to my office and wrap up some emails and chat with my coworkers. It's Friday and clearly no one wants to work. I eat the other half of my chicken Caesar wrap from yesterday at a respectable 10:30 a.m. 11:30 a.m. — I get to leave work super early because of the late night Thursday and the early morning today, yay! I stop at Target to get more toilet paper because we are almost out. $9.03 12:30 p.m. — I get home and am so happy to have some extra time on a weekday. My marathon training plan has a big focus on strength training, so I decide to do one of the workouts from the first week (I officially begin the plan next month). It is an easy 3-mile run and a weight circuit. It feels good but it takes a while to get through the strength training. I'm going to have to really plan out my weeks when marathon training starts. I make a lazy version of a salad Nicoise when I get home. I roast potatoes from the CSA, then mix those with spinach, tuna, and a yummy homemade lemon dressing. I shower and get ready to leave again. I put on comfy jeans and a tank top because I'm feeling lazy. 5 p.m. — I head out to go canvas for a mayoral candidate. I take the subway to the meeting point. V. meets me there and is my canvassing partner. We are both exhausted and it's a pretty slow day for canvassing, but oh well. We keep each other entertained during the shift. I'm pretty worried about the election so it feels good to do something! 8:30 p.m. — V. and I are beyond exhausted but we have to stop at our friend's place to feed the kitties. We take the subway back and motivate ourselves by discussing the dumplings and chicken we are going to get from the restaurant near our friend's place. Tragically, we get there and it's closed. We perform our cat-sitting duties then afterwards we go to a food cart and each get huge platters. I also get a Gatorade. $15 10:30 p.m. — Back at my place with V. and we both pass out. It feels amazing to lay down after such a long day. Daily Total: $24.03 Day Six: Saturday 9 a.m. — I get to sleep in a bit later. I make breakfast for me and V. (coffee, avocado toast with fried eggs, leftover potatoes with chicken sausage) and we chat with C. I put on a button down and jeans with my raincoat and Blundstone boots. 10:30 a.m. — V. and I head over to feed the cats and end up hanging at my friend's apartment for a while playing with them and watching the new season of And Just Like That… It is the worst show ever made but we cannot look away. 1 p.m. — V. and I head to the subway. We are meeting her coworker at the 'No Kings' protest. It takes a while to get started and it's raining a little. I'm feeling a bit pessimistic but it's nice to be around the older folks and families with kids marching with us. 3:30 p.m. — We take the subway to my friends' joint birthday party at a beer hall. V. and I are starving when we arrive so we each get burgers with fries. She leaves after a while to go take a nap but I stay and catch up with my friends. I get a beer, then a gin and tonic. $54.91 6 p.m. — I'm having fun hanging with my friends, so I go with them to get ice cream. Tbh this is definitely an unnecessary purchase… My black raspberry chip ice cream is just fine. Then I head back on the subway and go feed the cats. $7.04 8 p.m. — The cats are fed and I head to V.'s. She makes us pasta and we watch The Dark Knight as per T.'s rec earlier in the week. I never watch superhero movies but she was right, it's good! 11:30 p.m. — V. and I go to sleep. Daily Total: $61.95 Day Seven: Sunday 9 a.m. — V. and I have cereal at her place, then we go feed and play with the cats. 11 a.m. — I head back to my place and make myself coffee and some oatmeal with peaches and peanut butter. I watch YouTube vlogs and browse new sneakers. I have been a long time Onitsuka Tiger girl when it comes to sneakers, but last night there was a gorgeous pair of Adidas in my dream… I swear this purchase is not fully motivated by the dream, I was already planning to get new sneakers since my Tigers are very beat up. New Onitsuka Tigers are pretty expensive, so instead I find a pair of Adidas that I like on sale at Foot Locker and order them. Hopefully they fit! $78.98 1 p.m. — I head out for a run with the goal of meeting up with V. and some of her friends at a brewery. I am feeling way more energized than on my other runs this week so I add in some hills and do five miles. It feels great! 2:15 p.m. — I arrive at the brewery. I wore my running backpack so I could pack an extra layer to put on. I splash some water on my face and get a beer. $5 4 p.m. — I send V. $25 because the event today is a fundraiser for a local LGBTQ center. People are writing letters to their representatives, as well as donating. V. has organized this type of event a few times and it's always a big success. I head out because I'm feeling like I desperately need to shower. $25 5 p.m. — I put in two loads of laundry at the laundromat when I get back. My laundromat takes quarters, and today it costs me $7.25. I am dreaming of having in-unit laundry one day. $7.25 6 p.m. — V. comes over when her event is finished. I make us lentils, rice, and roasted veggies. We eat and debrief our weekends with C. 8 p.m. — V. offers to feed the cats on her way home but C. and I decide to go with her to fight the Sunday Scaries. The cats are sooo cute and the perfect way to end the evening. 10:30 p.m. — I am home and in bed. Thanks for spending the week with me! Daily Total: $116.23 The Breakdown Conclusion 'I enjoyed keeping track of my spending! I am hoping this diary pushes me to be more mindful about it. I was not surprised to see that the category where I spent the most was food and drink. To be honest, this was a more wholesome/politically engaged week than usual for me, so I am interested to compare this to other weeks to see if there is a significant difference. Since writing this diary, I successfully got my gym membership reimbursed, woo-hoo! I also started officially training for the marathon and it's ruining my life, lol.'

Fortuna drills 4.5 g/t Au over 37.4 meters at Kingfisher and 11.2 g/t Au over 5.6 meters at Sunbird, Séguéla Mine, Côte d'Ivoire
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fortuna Mining Corp. (NYSE: FSM | TSX: FVI) is pleased to report updated exploration drilling results from the Kingfisher and Sunbird deposits at the Séguéla Mine in Côte d'Ivoire. Paul Weedon, Senior Vice President of Exploration at Fortuna, commented, 'A successful infill drill program was completed at Kingfisher, with several notable intersections confirming the broad nature of the mineralization, including 4.5 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 37.4 meters from 79 meters in drill hole SGRD2363. Exploration has now turned to further extending the strike and depth at Kingfisher, successfully intersecting mineralization 300 meters below surface and a further 250 meters along strike.' Mr. Weedon continued, 'Deep exploration drilling testing the southern extent of Sunbird has continued to return excellent results while upgrading the geological confidence and expanding the mineralized envelope, with results including 8.5 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 7.0 meters from 566 meters in drill hole SGRD2431. In addition, drilling has recently identified near surface shallow mineralization approximately 180 meters into the footwall, with results including 2.1 g/t over an estimated true width of 8.4 meters from 32 meters in drill hole SGRD2418 and 5.6 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 4.9 meters from 98 meters in drill hole SGRD2422. Mineralization remains open at depth and along strike.' Kingfisher Deposit Drilling Highlights SGRD2313: 9.4 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 17.0 meters from 105 meters, including58.1 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 0.9 meters from 118 meters, and36.2 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 2.6 meters from 121 meters2.1 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 13.6 meters from 131 meters, including12.1 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 0.9 meters from 138 meters SGRD2349: 5.6 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 22.1 meters from 83 meters, including63.1 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 0.9 meters from 94 meters, and14.1 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 2.6 meters from 101 meters2.4 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 18.7 meters from 113 meters, including30.2 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 0.9 meters from 115 meters SGRD2363: 4.5 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 37.4 meters from 79 meters, including28.4 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 0.9 meters from 103 meters, and26.1 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 2.6 meters from 107 meters, and12.3 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 0.9 meters from 122 meters SGRD2366: 4.4 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 20.4 meters from 28 meters, including48.9 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 0.9 meters from 48 meters SGRD2367: 4.0 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 6.8 meters from 53 meters3.7 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 23.8 meters from 72 meters, including28.2 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 1.7 meters from 97 meters SGRD2370: 3.0 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 31.5 meters from 127 meters, including15.6 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 0.9 meters from 133 meters, and33.5 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 0.9 meters from 150 meters, and15.2 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 0.9 meters from 159 meters, SGRD2381: 4.2 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 26.4 meters from 36 meters, including14.0 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 0.9 meters from 47 meters, and11.4 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 0.9 meters from 52 meters, and15.1 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 1.7 meters from 61 meters An additional 78 drill holes, totaling 13,262 meters, have been completed at the Kingfisher Deposit (refer to Figure 1) as part of the resource confidence infill and extension drill program (refer to Figure 2). Drilling to test the emerging down-plunge potential to the north is advancing with two drill rigs in operation. Highlights include drill hole SGRD2501, which intersected 12.7 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 0.9 meters as part of a wider interval of 1.6 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 9.4 meters from 362 meters depth, approximately 300 meters vertically. This is the deepest drilling to date at Kingfisher, with mineralization remaining open along strike and at depth along a greater than one kilometer strike. Drilling is planned to continue through 2025. The apparent moderate northerly plunge interpreted for the Kingfisher mineralization is atypical for Séguéla, where a moderate southerly plunge is more common. This variation is interpreted as being related to localized dextral movement along the main shear corridor.

The program had two objectives: first, to infill and upgrade resource confidence for an approximate 600-meter section along strike of the current underground resource; and second, to extend and expand the down-plunge extension a further 300 meters south. Drilling on the main shoot has continued to intersect high grades along the projected plunge, with drill-defined mineralization now extending more than 1.1 kilometers down plunge, approximately 700 meters below surface. Results include 11.2 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 5.6 meters from 479 meters in drill hole SGRD2409. Results such as 10.4 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 4.9 meters from 483 meters in drill hole SGRD2427, and 12.2 g/t Au over an estimate true width of 4.9 meters from 420 meters in drill hole SGRD2219, highlight the emergence of a second high grade shoot extending at least 800 meters down plunge from the bottom of the currently defined pit. Mineralization remains open at depth and along strike, with drilling scheduled to continue until the end of 2025. Drilling targeting the deep extensions also intersected near-surface mineralization approximately 180 meters into the footwall. Further drilling will be carried out to determine the mineralized extent, which is presently open over a 400-meter strike length, and relationship to Sunbird as well as historic small-scale artisanal workings further south along strike. Results include 5.6 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 4.9 meters from 98 meters in drill hole SGRD2422, and 14.7 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 2.8 meters from 32 meters in drill hole SGRD2218. Figure 3: Sunbird Deposit long-section – looking west, Séguéla Mine, Côte d'Ivoire Quality Assurance & Quality Control (QA – QC) All drilling was completed under supervision of Fortuna personnel, following standardized procedures and methodologies. Reverse Circulation (RC) Drilling RC drilling used a 5.25-inch face sampling pneumatic hammer, with samples collected into 60-liter plastic bags. Samples were kept dry by maintaining sufficient air pressure to exclude groundwater inflow. If water ingress exceeded the air pressure, RC drilling was stopped, and drilling converted to diamond core tails. Once collected, RC samples were riffle split through a three-tier splitter to produce a 12.5% representative sample for laboratory submission. The remaining 87.5% samples were stored at the drill site until assay results were received and validated. Coarse reject samples from mineralized samples corresponding to significant intervals are retained and stored on-site at the Company´s core yard. Diamond Drilling (DD) DD drill holes started with HQ sized diameter, before reducing to NQ diameter diamond drill bits on intersecting fresh rock. The core was logged, marked for sampling in standard one-meter lengths or to a geological boundary, then cut into equal halves using a diamond saw. One half was retained in the original core box and stored in a secure location at the Company core yard at the project site. The other half was sampled, catalogued, and placed into sealed bags and securely stored at the site until shipment. Sample Transport and Analysis All RC and DD samples were transported by Company vehicle or commercial courier to ALS Global's preparation laboratory in Yamoussoukro, Cote d'Ivoire or Bureau Veritas' preparation and analytical laboratory in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire. Sample pulps prepared by ALS Global were then transported via commercial courier to ALS Global's facility in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Routine gold analysis using a 50-gram charge and fire assay with an atomic absorption finish was completed for all samples at either ALS's Ouagadougou laboratory or Bureau Veritas' laboratory in Abidjan. Samples returning assays >10 ppm Au were reanalyzed using a 50-gram charge and fire assay with a gravimetric finish. Quality Control Quality control procedures included systematic insertion of blanks, duplicates, and certified reference standards into the sample stream. Both ALS Global and Bureau Veritas laboratories also inserted their own quality control samples.

Can-Am Launches New Generation Defender Side-by-Side, Engineered to Outperform
VALCOURT, QC, Aug. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Can-Am, iconic brand of BRP Inc. (TSX: DOO) (NASDAQ: DOOO), is changing the utility and recreational side-by-side landscape with the next generation of its Can-Am Defender model. Trusted by farmers, ranchers and riders across the world, the Defender is renowned for its power and skill to turn work and play into one. For 2026, this iconic workhorse receives a ground-up overhaul, further solidifying its position as one of the most capable, versatile and reliable utility-recreational side-by-sides on the market. "At Can-Am, we know that the clock never stops for the farmers, ranchers and builders around the world," said Julie Tourville, Director, Global Marketing, Can-Am Off-Road at BRP. "This new Defender platform is built to prove it and match the unstoppable spirit of our hardworking customers. From managing farmland, to running a job site, or escaping to the backcountry, the new generation Defender is all about bringing true value to our riders with practical and best-in-class features, industry-leading technology and reliable performance that they can count on to help them get the job done and beyond." PowertrainAt the core of the next-generation Can-Am Defender is an all-new HD11 999cc inline three-cylinder Rotax ACE engine, boasting 95 horsepower and 70 lb-ft of torque. The HD11 powerplant is paired with an all-new continuously variable transmission (CVT) and pDrive primary clutch that are designed to put power to the ground with precision and improve low-speed power delivery, while enhancing reliability. With three new selectable drive modes – Normal, Work and Sport – the engine optimizes performance for the toughest tasks, from towing heavy loads to conquering some of the most demanding terrains. A new intake system promotes airflow to bolster engine performance, while an updated cooling system manages engine temperature and enhances HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) performance. The 2026 Defender XT packages are equipped with a new Quick-4Lok auto-locking front differential, while the Limited, Lone Star and X mr packages carry the automatic, electronically controlled Smart-Lok front differential to maximize traction in most conditions. The new Defender continues to lead the way with best-in-class payload, towing and cargo capacity, and it now comes equipped with a new, larger 11.9-gallon fuel tank that enables longer days on the job or trail. Suspension and ChassisA best-in-class powertrain demands a suspension package and chassis that are up to the task. The 2026 Defender features new suspension geometry with a 65-inch-wide design and 50% larger arched double A-arms. The suspension and steering components are more robust and are assembled with double-bonded bushings, an industry first, for reduced maintenance and a quieter ride. The chassis has also been toughened up for the most demanding work and play scenarios, including improved ROPS. These changes not only increase toughness but also deliver sharper, more stable handling and advanced suspension performance even when the vehicle is loaded down with tools and gear. The Defender features 12 inches of front and rear suspension travel with 15 inches of ground clearance, which are best in class. The turning radius has also been reduced, making tight maneuvers easier than ever. Finally, the new, larger 262mm front brake rotors are gripped by 32mm hydraulic twin piston calipers and new brake pads, providing confidence-inspiring stopping power, even under heavy loads. Workability and Rider ExperienceWorking harder and smarter than ever before, the 2026 Defender offers comfort when riders want it and next-level capability when they need it. The ergonomics start with the largest cab in its class and 8% more leg room than the closest competition. Plus, the adjustable quick tilt steering wheel allows for convenient ingress and egress, while the backrest angle and seat foam have been revised for greater comfort and support. The new Defender Limited and Lone Star packages are equipped with an updated HVAC system, improving cooling and heating capacity. A simple three-knob system provides convenient climate control adjustment. CAB models also benefit from noise, vibration and harshness reduction for better communication with passengers thanks to a new roof liner, rear wall insulation and floor mats. Designed to take the rider experience to the next level, the new 10.25'' Touchscreen Display packs a range of useful features, including a back-up camera and built-in GPS to track every ride and locate friends with or without a phone or network connection. This infotainment system also lets riders seamlessly control music, monitor ride statistics, manage accessories and unlock advanced off-road navigation features through the BRP GO! app. With integrated Wi-Fi connectivity, it supports over-the-air software updates, so owners can effortlessly access the latest features as they become available. The 10.25'' Touchscreen Display comes standard on all Limited and Lone Star models, and it's available as an option on the XT and XT CAB. With over 200 accessories available to choose from, riders can customize their Defender to best suit their riding style and work needs. From convenient LinQ cargo boxes, to the new integrated plow mount and intuitive SMART accessories, this workhorse is a blank canvas ready for personalization. When it comes to outfitting the 2026 Defender with electronic accessories or powering tools and equipment, the new charging system produces 1700 Watts, doubling the output of the previous generation. To enhance the rider's line of sight in low-light conditions, the 2026 Defender features new LED headlights that produce 45% more output than the previous version. In addition, new LED rear lights include backup lights that turn on while in reverse. Designed with the rider in mind, the new Defender offers convenient access to service points, and it has some of the longest service intervals and lowest maintenance costs in the industry. This means less downtime for repairs and more time on the trail or taking on tough jobs. Vehicle LineupThe 2026 Defender HD11 has six distinct model configurations: the Defender XT, Defender XT CAB, Defender X mr, Defender Limited, Defender Lone Star and Defender Lone Star CAB. These configurations are offered in standard (3-seat), except for the Lone Star, and MAX (six-seat) variations for each of them. Defender HD7, HD9 and HD10 models also return for 2026.
