Edmonton, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - February 4, 2026) - Canamera Energy Metals Corp. (CSE: EMET) (OTCQB: EMETF) (FSE: 4LF0) ("Canamera" or the "Company") reports that it has been informed by its drill contractor FCR Geologia e Exploração LTDA, in Brazil that it will be resuming auger drilling operations on the 29,574-hectare Turvolândia rare earth project ("Project") on February 5, 2026. The auger drill program began in November 2025 and continued into the middle of December. The drilling was paused for Christmas and due to the heavy rains in Brazil in January 2026.

To date, the Company has completed 344 metres of auger drilling at the Project through 27 holes representing approximately one third of the proposed drilling on the Project. The location of the auger holes drilled so far can be seen in the map below. Samples collected from the drilling to date have been sent to SGS laboratories in Belo Horizonte for analysis. The results from the analysis will be released once they have been reviewed, verified and approved.

"Resuming drilling at Turvolândia marks an important step forward for Canamera as we continue to systematically evaluate the scale and continuity of this potential ionic clay rare earth system," stated Brad Brodeur, Chief Executive Officer of Canamera Energy Metals Corp. "With approximately one third of the planned auger drilling now complete and samples already at the lab, we are encouraged by the steady progress to date and look forward to updating shareholders as results become available."

Turvolândia Project Overview

The Turvolândia Project is located approximately 55 km east of the Poços de Caldas alkaline complex, a 30-square-kilometre intrusive system in southern Minas Gerais that is rapidly emerging as one of Brazil's most important ionic-clay rare earth districts. This plateau hosts thick, deeply weathered clay profiles developed over REE-enriched phonolitic and nepheline syenite, which is the same style of geology that underpins major ion-adsorption clay deposits in southern China and has attracted significant global interest for its potential to support relatively lower-cost extraction compared to traditional hard-rock REE deposits. The Project, situated in the southwest area of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, approximately 200 km northeast of São Paulo and 294 km southwest of Belo Horizonte, is prospective for ionic clay-hosted REE mineralization.

Canamera holds an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Turvolândia and São Sepé rare earth ionic clay projects in Brazil by making staged cash and share payments to the vendors and funding minimum exploration expenditures over the option term. Upon exercise of the option, the vendors will retain a 1.0% net smelter returns royalty on production from the projects, one-half of which (0.5%) can be repurchased by Canamera for a cash payment of $500,000. Additional cash payments are also payable to the vendors upon the achievement of defined technical milestones, including publication of a mineral resource estimate, preliminary economic assessment and feasibility study for the projects. Please see the news release dated October 7, 2025 for more details.
