• Additional claims acquired following positive initial results from the 2026 airborne magnetic survey, more than doubling the project's footprint to 22,665 acres.
• Expansion targets additional strike extent along the favorable SW-NE structural trend identified in the recent Magnetic Vector Inversion interpretation.
• Tight share structure: with just over 35 million shares outstanding, management sees meaningful leverage to exploration success across an active remainder of 2026.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 24, 2026) - Makenita Resources Inc. (CSE: KENY) (WKN: A40X6P) (OTCID: KENYF) ("Makenita") is pleased to announce that it has acquired additional mineral claims at its Sisson West Tungsten Project in New Brunswick, more than doubling the projects land package from 9,845 acres to 22,665 contiguous acres, directly bordering Northcliff Resources Ltd.'s (NCF) Sisson Tungsten Mine.

Jason Gigliotti, President of Makenita Resources, commented: "This is a very exciting time for Makenita. More than doubling our land position directly against the Sisson deposit, at a time when Sisson has been named a nation-building project by the federal government, speaks to the strategic value of this ground. With just over 35 million shares outstanding, management sees meaningful leverage to any exploration success, and we anticipate an active remainder of 2026 across multiple projects."

The airborne data and regional historical data have been compiled and evaluated, and a drill program is being formulated for the property. This comes at a time when the Sisson Tungsten Mine, which Makenita's project directly borders, was recently named one of the first nation-building projects by Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney.¹
