Fury Intercepts 32.35m of 1.16% Li2O at the Ninaaskumuwin Discovery
Highlights:
Thick spodumene-bearing pegmatite (>32 m in thickness) was intersected in three holes with individual sample grades of up to 3.70% Li2O;
Drill results confirm the vertical continuity of lithium mineralization to 150 m below surface; and
The lithium-bearing pegmatite remains open along strike and to depth.
'We are pleased with the positive drill results out of the Ninaaskumuwin lithium discovery from our newly acquired Elmer East project in Quebec,' commented Tim Clark, CEO of Fury. 'These results continue to demonstrate the value created through our acquisition of Quebec Precious Metals earlier this year, and we look forward to continued exploration and potential discovery across our extensive land package in the James Bay region.'

Elmer East
The Ninaaskumuwin lithium discovery is located on Fury's 100% owned Elmer East project, which covers approximately 45,735 hectares (ha). Ninaaskumuwin is easily accessible from the paved Billy Diamond highway, approximately 60 kilometres (km) north of the 'km 381' rest stop where accommodation, catering, fuel, and power are available (Figure 1). The discovery sits approximately 50 km north of Rio Tinto plc's Galaxy Lithium project, acquired in March 2025 as part of the acquisition of Arcadium Lithium plc for USD 6.7 billion.

The drilling campaign targeted a spodumene-bearing pegmatite outcrop where limited sampling returned values of 1.10% to 3.92% Li2O from nine samples (Figure 2) (see Quebec Precious Metals Corporation News Release dated January 18, 2024). Geophysics and geological mapping indicate that the spodumene-bearing pegmatite has a potential strike length of up to 3.8 km.
All five drill holes intersected highly fractionated pegmatite with spodumene mineralization observed in three of the holes. The spodumene mineralization observed is evenly distributed throughout the intersected pegmatite. The pegmatite is composed of quartz, plagioclase, potassic feldspar, and spodumene with a lesser proportion of muscovite, tourmaline, and garnet. The spodumene is light greenish-white and occurs as large and elongated crystals averaging 2 x 5 cm and up to 2 x 15 cm. A portion of the pegmatite is albite altered, in which spodumene is concentrated in bands of fine-grained crystals. The pegmatite is hosted in metasedimentary units, mainly matrix-supported conglomerate interbedded with wacke and coarse-grained sandstone.

'The James Bay region has experienced a boom in lithium exploration over the past few years and is gaining attention on the world stage. The Ninaaskumuwin lithium discovery is in a great location close to established infrastructure and Rio Tinto's Galaxy Lithium project, which is in the construction phase. These initial results from the limited 2024 drilling are encouraging and warrant additional drilling to fully understand the potential of the discovery,' commented Bryan Atkinson, SVP Exploration of Fury.

Sampling and Assaying Disclosure
2024 Drilling
GeoVector Management Inc., based in Ottawa, supervised the drilling program for QPM, which includes core logging, sampling of the drill core and shipment of the samples to the laboratory facility. Drilling was performed by RJLL Drilling, based in Rouyn-Noranda.
2025 Assaying and QAQC
Analytical samples were taken by sawing HQ diameter core into equal halves with one half being sent to IGS Laboratories ('IGS'), based in Delson, Quebec, an independent ISO-17025 2017 accredited laboratory. The samples were crushed to 100% passing 2 mm and pulverized to at least 85% passing 75 microns. Excess crushed and pulverized material not used for analysis have been retained for future reference. All samples were analyzed by Sodium Peroxide Fusion and ICP-OES finish using an aliquot of pulverized material. IGS used selected pegmatite/spodumene matrix matching CRMs.
QAQC protocols include systematic insertion of CRM standards 1 in every 20 samples and alternating blank samples of quartz and core duplicate samples 1 in every 20 samples. Assays of quality control samples were compared with reference samples in a database and verified to be acceptable prior to use of data from analyzed batches.

Canada's retail sales shrink as tariffs bite, June expected to improve
By Promit Mukherjee OTTAWA (Reuters) -Canada's retail sales shrank by 1.1% in May as consumers curtailed car purchases and spent less at supermarkets, convenience stores and on alcohol, data showed on Thursday. Retail sales - closely watched by economists as they give an indication of GDP trends - had held up fairly strongly in the last two months, as concerns around the timing and magnitude of tariffs threatened by U.S. President Donald Trump brought forward purchases. But sales weakened as the impact of tariffs started hitting consumers and the general outlook around the economy paled. By contrast, an early or "flash" estimate showed retail sales likely grew 1.6% in June, though this figure is prone to correction, statistics agency StatsCan said. Analysts polled by Reuters had expected a drop during May, similar to what was reported, and barring autos and auto parts, which contribute almost 30% to overall sales, they had predicted a drop of 0.3%. Sales excluding autos in May were down 0.2%, StatsCan added. The biggest drop was posted in the motor vehicles and parts dealers category, where sales contracted by 3.6%, after two consecutive months of increases. The drop was led by 4.6% lower sales at new car dealers, which fell for the first time since February, it said, adding that in volume terms, retail sales decreased 1.4% in May. LOWER BEER SALES Another declining sector was food and beverages. This category, which contributes up to 18% of total retail sales, saw purchases shrinking by 1.2%, led by lower transactions at convenience stores and a decline in sales of beer, wine and liquor. Economists noted the expected rise in sales in June which could indicate that GDP might improve in the second half of the year, but said trade tensions are likely to keep consumer spending under check. "Unless a trade deal is reached to significantly reduce U.S.-Canada tariffs ... we expect households will continue to tighten their purse strings as job losses and higher prices from tariffs squeeze disposable income," said Michael Davenport, senior economist at Oxford Economics. The Bank of Canada will announce its rate decision next week and is likely to keep borrowing costs on hold, but most economists expect the central bank will need to start easing rates again to support the economy. The largest increase in retail sales in May came in building materials, and garden equipment and supplies, which posted an increase of 1.9% following a decline of 0.3% in April. A survey of retailers by StatsCan on the impact of U.S. tariffs and Canada's countermeasures showed that 32% of retail businesses were impacted by the trade tensions in May, compared with 36% in April. The most common impacts in May were price increases, changes in demand for products, and increased expenses for raw materials, shipping or labor, it said, citing the survey.

Capricorn Metals to acquire Warriedar Resources in Australia
Capricorn Metals and Warriedar Resources have announced a binding scheme implementation deed under which Capricorn will acquire 100% of the securities in Warriedar by way of a Court-approved scheme of arrangement. This acquisition is structured to provide Warriedar shareholders with a fixed exchange ratio of one new Capricorn share for every 62 Warriedar shares. Upon the implementation of the scheme, Warriedar shareholders will own approximately 4.36% of all issued shares in Capricorn. Based on Capricorn's closing price of A$9.60 ($6.32) per share on 23 July 2025, the transaction suggests a value of approximately A$0.155 per Warriedar share, which represents a 29% premium over Warriedar's closing share price of A$0.12 on 23 July 2025. The scheme is contingent upon several conditions including an independent expert's conclusion that it is in the best interests of Warriedar shareholders. Additionally, customary conditions such as regulatory approvals and the absence of material adverse changes must be satisfied. Capricorn gains ownership of Warriedar's flagship Golden Range project through the acquisition. The project encompasses the Ricciardo gold-antimony deposit and the Fields Find gold project, all situated 90km north of Capricorn's promising Mt Gibson gold project. Capricorn executive chairman Mark Clark said: 'This is a compelling transaction for all stakeholders, and we believe that combining Capricorn and Warriedar represents a unique opportunity to generate value for shareholders of both companies. 'This acquisition is on-strategy and continues the expansion of Capricorn's Mt Gibson exploration and development footprint and adds resource ounces, highly prospective exploration targets and valuable infrastructure, which will further enhance what is clearly one of the best development projects in the Australian gold industry.' In addition to the share acquisition, the parties have agreed on a separate scheme of arrangement for the outstanding Warriedar listed options. Under this option scheme, Warriedar listed options will be exchanged for new Capricorn options at the same exchange ratio as the share scheme. The existing A$0.10 exercise price per listed option will be adjusted to A$6.20, maintaining the same expiry date of 11 April 2028. The option scheme is conditional upon the approval of the scheme for Warriedar shares by the requisite majority. The Warriedar Board has unanimously recommended that listed optionholders vote in favour of the option scheme, provided no superior proposal emerges and an independent expert concludes that it is in the best interests of the option-holders. Additionally, Warriedar performance rights must be cancelled or vested as a condition of the scheme, with the resulting Warriedar shares subject to the scheme. Capricorn also intends to enter into private treaty arrangements with holders of unlisted options in Warriedar. Warriedar non-executive chairman Mark Connelly said: 'In addition to delivering an attractive premium, this transaction allows Warriedar shareholders to retain ongoing but significantly de-risked, exposure to the exploration and development of the Golden Range project, more diversified enterprise with a strong balance sheet, cash flow generation and technical expertise, all of which will support the successful exploration and development of the Ricciardo gold-antimony deposit.' Longreach Capital is serving as financial adviser for Capricorn, while Corrs Chambers Westgarth is the legal adviser for the scheme. Warriedar has engaged Discovery Capital Partners as its financial adviser and Thomson Geer as its legal adviser. In May, Sabre Resources completed the sale of its Ninghan gold project tenements in the southern Murchison region of Western Australia to Capricorn Metals for A$1.6m.

Supreme Court won't hear thumbs-up emoji case involving Saskatchewan farmer
OTTAWA — The Supreme Court of Canada has given a thumbs-down to hearing a legal case involving an emoji. The country's highest court dismissed an application by farmer Chris Achter to appeal a decision by the Court of Appeal of Saskatchewan. The Appeal Court upheld a verdict that found a thumbs-up emoji met signature requirements and was a legally binding agreement between Achter and Kent Mickleborough, a grain buyer with South West Terminal. In 2021, Mickleborough sent a text of a contract to Achter for a delivery of flax, and the farmer responded with a thumbs-up emoji. Achter didn't deliver the product, and the company took him to court for breaching the contract. The Supreme Court says costs are to be given to the grain company.
