Midnight Sun Makes Strategic Acquisition of Luswishi Dome Project
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 28, 2025) - Midnight Sun Mining Corp. (TSXV: MMA) (OTC Pink: MDNGF) ('Midnight Sun' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into an Earn-In and Operating Agreement (the 'Earn-In Agreement') with Zambezi Mint Investment Limited regarding the 366 square kilometre Luswishi Dome Project, located approximately 40 kilometres southeast of the Company's Solwezi Project, in Zambia.
Midnight Sun's President & CEO, Al Fabbro, states, 'The presence of domal structures has long been recognized as a hallmark of major copper discoveries in the region, and it is exactly what led us to our Solwezi Project over a decade ago. This same geological feature underpins the world-class deposits and operating mines surrounding us, including Barrick's Lumwana Mine, First Quantum's Kansanshi and Sentinel Mines, and Ivanhoe's Kamoa-Kakula -- all excellent examples of world-class domes deposits.
So, when Midnight Sun had the rare opportunity to secure what may be the last remaining Dome in the district not already controlled by a major or us, we moved quickly. The project boasts not only a highly prospective geological setting, but also an exceptional historical data package from previous operators. This head start allows us to fast-track exploration, saving both time and capital as we drive the Luswishi Project toward drilling and discovery.
This acquisition strengthens our position in a highly competitive district and aligns with our strategy of targeting high-impact assets with near-term discovery potential. Midnight Sun is firmly positioned as a leading explorer in Zambia.'

Terms of the Earn-In Agreement
The Earn-In Agreement consists of three stages:
Stage 1: To earn an initial 51% ownership of the licence, Midnight Sun must complete CAD $750,000 worth of exploration and development expenditures on the licence within 24 months of the agreement date.
Stage 2: To earn an additional 19% (70% cumulative ownership) of the licence, Midnight Sun can sole fund an NI 43-101 compliant inferred mineral resource within 24 months of the completion of Stage 1.

Ero Copper Completes Phase 1 Drill Program at Furnas, Extends High-Grade Mineralization
Ero Copper Corp. (NYSE:ERO) is one of the cheap Canadian stocks to buy now. On July 10, Ero Copper announced the completion of its 28,000-meter Phase 1 drill program at the Furnas Copper-Gold Project in Brazil's Carajás Mineral Province. Initial results from this program show continuity and extend the known limits of high-grade mineralization, particularly in zones identified for future underground mining operations. Significant intercepts from the Southeast zone include 105 meters at 1.54% copper equivalent (CuEq) in hole FURN-DD-00284 and 75 meters at 1.30% CuEq in hole FURN-DD-00271, with the latter extending mineralization ~70 meters down-dip from previous limits. ~10,000 meters of assay results have been received to date, confirming strong continuity and pushing mineralization to a maximum down-dip depth of 730 meters from surface, with the deposit remaining open.

The previous National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101) mineral resource estimate for Furnas was based on an average historical drilling depth of 300 meters (vertical). The Phase 1 drilling focused on both infill drilling to confirm continuity and step-out drilling to extend mineralization. Notably, only one of the 66 holes drilled during this campaign failed to intercept mineralization. Ero Copper Corp. (NYSE:ERO) is an energy company that explores, develops, and produces mining projects in Brazil.
