Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 20, 2026) - New Break Resources Ltd. (CSE: NBRK) (OTCQB: NBRKF) (FSE: O91) ("New Break" or the "Company") has purchased five mineral claims in McArthur Township for $3,500 covering 108 hectares and staked an additional 36 mineral claims at a cost of $1,800, covering 774 hectares in Fripp and McArther Townships. The acquisition of the five claims joins two large previously non-contiguous land positions at the Company's Moray property ("Moray"), into one large 28,286-hectare land package. The ability to distribute assessment credits across nearly all of the Moray project mineral claims, allows for greater flexibility with respect to the timing and extent of conducting exploration activities outside of drilling the Zavitz gold zone. Moray is located approximately 49 km southeast of Timmins, Ontario and 32 km northwest of the Young-Davidson gold mine, operated by Alamos Gold Inc.
