Huntsman Exploration Announces the Formation of Technical Advisory Committee and the Appointment of Tony M. Ricci, CPA, CA, to the Committee

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 15, 2025) - Huntsman Exploration Inc. (TSXV: HMAN) (the "Company" or "Huntsman") is pleased to announce the establishment of a technical advisory committee (the "Committee"). The Committee will provide strategic and financial expertise to guide the Company's advancement of its portfolio, particularly its gold-focused projects.

The Company is pleased to appoint Tony M. Ricci, CPA, CA, as a member of the Committee. Mr. Ricci, a seasoned financial professional based in Vancouver, British Columbia, brings over 30 years of experience working with public companies listed on Canadian and U.S. stock exchanges. A former director and executive of Great Bear Resources Ltd., which was acquired by Kinross Gold Corp. in a landmark $1.8 billion CAD transaction in 2022, Mr. Ricci has an exceptional track record in the mining sector. His distinguished career also includes leadership roles with Norsemont Mining Inc. (acquired by Hudbay Minerals Inc.), Petaquilla Minerals Ltd. and Petaquilla Copper Ltd. (acquired by First Quantum Minerals), Kodiak Copper Corp., and Keegan Resources Inc. Collectively, these companies achieved a combined market capitalization exceeding $5 billion. Prior to his corporate roles, Mr. Ricci honed his financial expertise at KPMG and AMEC Engineering Inc., further solidifying his reputation as a trusted advisor in the industry.

"Tony's appointment to our Technical Advisory Committee is a significant step forward for Huntsman as we strengthen our strategic vision and advance our exploration efforts," said Chief Executive Officer, Carl Ginn. "Tony is uniquely positioned to play a pivotal role in the economic evaluation of our gold assets. His financial acumen and industry insight will be instrumental as we unlock the value of our portfolio for shareholders."

Given Mr. Ricci's proven expertise in navigating complex financial landscapes and evaluating major mining projects, he is expected to provide critical guidance in assessing the economic viability of the Company's gold-focused assets.

Complimenting Mr. Ricci's appointment to the Committee, is the recent election of Mr. Jean-Félix Lepage, P.Eng., who as Vice-President of 'Quebec Centric' O3 Mining, saw the company merge with Agnico Eagle in a transaction valued at approximately $180,000,000. Mr. Lepage will provide valuable guidance in evaluating future project acquisitions.

Huntsman Exploration remains committed to creating shareholder value through responsible exploration and strategic development of its mineral assets.
