EDM Provides a Corporate Update

Halifax, Nova Scotia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 29, 2022) - EDM Resources Inc. (TSXV: EDM) ("EDM" or the "Company") is pleased to provide the following update on the Company's activities.

The Company's President and CEO, Mr. Mark Haywood, commented: "The Company has been working on a number of updated Scotia Mine start-up plans which include the latest capital and operating costs, commodity pricing, foreign exchange rates, and other key project variable forecasts. These updated plans build upon the Company's 2021 Pre-Feasibility Study, and solidify the Company's view of the robust economics of the Scotia Mine - a view supported by continued strong demand for zinc, which we believe will afford healthy operating margins to our low-cost Scotia Mine.

With the commercial offtakes, project financing and initial permitting already in place at our Scotia Mine, we expect to commence mining in Q3 2023 and processing in Q4 2023, with the aim of declaring commercial production at the end of Q4 2023."

Corporate Updates:

• The Company continues to work closely with our offtake partner, IXM S.A., on satisfying the financing conditions for its loan facility announced on June 29, 2022, and expects to begin drawing funds as early as Q1 2023.

• The Scotia Mine NI 43-101 2021 Pre-Feasibility Study, the results of which were announced on November 16, 2021, highlighted the following key points:

• NPV (8%) of C$174M
• IRR of 69%
• Pre-production capex of CDN$30.6M
• Annual average production of ~35M lbs zinc, ~15M lbs lead, 430Kt gypsum.
• 14-year mine life via open-pit mining method
• All-in sustaining costs (ZnEq) of US$0.52/lb
• Near term Free Cash Flow of CDN$5-7M per quarter
• Free Cash Flow in the first 3 years of CDN$55M

A copy of the 2021 Pre-Feasibility Study, titled "Scotia Mine Pre-Feasibility Technical Report", prepared for the Company by MineTech International Limited and dated November 16, 2021, is available under the Company's profile at www.sedar.com.

• At present, zinc inventories are at record low levels due to supply shortages and continued strong demand. The Company expects these market conditions to continue for the foreseeable future and believes its timing to commence operations next year is ideal.
