Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 7, 2026) - PORTOFINO RESOURCES INC. (TSXV: POR) (OTC Pink: PFFOF) (FSE: POTA) ("Portofino" or the "Company") reports that the Company intends to undertake a ten (10) for one (1) share consolidation whereby ten common shares of the Company (the "Common Shares") shall be exchanged for one post-consolidation common share of the Company (the "Post-Consolidation Shares"). The Company currently has approximately 175,443,899 Common Shares issued and outstanding and would have approximately 17,544,389 Post-Consolidation Shares. All outstanding warrants (~45,304,000) and incentive stock options (~11,502,000) would be consolidated on the same basis pursuant to the certificates evidencing such warrants and options.

Portofino's Board of Directors anticipates the share consolidation will give the Company more flexibility to secure less dilutive financing and expand both its current project exploration strategy and project portfolio. The Company's articles authorize the Board of Directors to approve the share consolidation, and the Board has approved the consolidation. No shareholder approval is required. The Company name or stock symbol remain unchanged.

Upon completion of the consolidation and TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") approval, a "Letter of Transmittal" will be mailed to shareholders holding physical certificates by the Company's transfer agent (TMX Equity Transfer Services), advising that the consolidation has taken effect and shareholders should surrender their existing (pre-consolidation) common share certificates, for new (post-consolidation) common share certificates. No fractional common shares of the Company shall be issued in connection with the consolidation and the number of common shares to be received by a Shareholder shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.
