Shaakichiuwaanaan 2026 drill program continues to achieve key objectives in addition to derisking important technical and geological aspects of the Project development.

MONTREAL, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — October 21 – Sydney, Australia

Highlights

• More than 30,000 m of drilling completed in over 250 holes as part of the Company’s extensive 2026 drilling program at its 100%-owned Shaakichiuwaanaan Project.
• The program has strongly increased geological knowledge for the purpose of future mining operations in the key CV5 and CV13 resource areas.
• A total of seven (7) drill rigs are currently active at site. Drilling is anticipated to continue into November.
• Drilling has focused on:
  • Supporting Project development ground condition assessment (including detailed engineering) – geotechnical, hydrogeological, geomechanical, and condemnation drilling at the CV5 and CV13 pegmatites and nearby proposed infrastructure areas. Drilling to date confirms the soundness of ground conditions for mine development plan purposes.
  • Tightly spaced infill drilling at the CV5 Pegmatite targeting a caesium-enriched zone with the objective of defining a maiden caesium Mineral Resource Estimate at CV5 during 2027.
  • Targeted infill drilling at CV5 and CV13 to improve geological interpretation with additional infill holes also expected to be completed at CV13 prior to completion of the program.
  • Pollucite pegmatite sample collection (BerryPick program) via two dedicated shallow coring rigs.
  • Infill along the CV4 to CV5 gap with barge mounted drill rig. Gap considered highly prospective for LCT pegmatite to be present.
• Assay results for the 2026 drill program expected in Q1 2027.
• Updated Project MRE and development studies remain on track for release in Q4 2026, including an updated CV5 lithium-tantalum Feasibility Study and a broader CV5-CV13 lithium-caesium-tantalum Preliminary Economic Assessment.

PMET Resources Inc. (“PMET” or the “Company”) (TSX: PMET) (ASX: PMT) (OTCQX: PMETF) (FSE: R9GA) is pleased to provide an update on the extensive 2026 drill program being undertaken at its 100%-owned Shaakichiuwaanaan Property (the “Property” or “Project”), located in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec.

Since the commencement of drilling in June 2026, more than 30,000 m of drilling across more than 250 holes has been completed at the Property. The primary focus of the 2026 program has been to support advancement of the CV5 and CV13 pegmatites through development along the path to production. Specifically, drilling has focused on:

• Supporting project development (including detailed engineering) – geotechnical, hydrogeological, geomechanical and condemnation drilling – at the CV5 and CV13 pegmatites and nearby proposed infrastructure areas. This drilling is essential to collect information on soil stability, depth to bedrock, water quality, and bedrock geomechanical characteristics, to inform various modelling mandates as well as building and waste rock pile construction. This information is intended to feed into detailed engineering as well as permitting deliverables with a view to reducing execution risk.
• Infill drilling at the CV5 Pegmatite targeting a caesium zone within the open pit design from the 2025 Feasibility Study with the objective of defining a maiden caesium Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) at CV5 in late 2027. The presence of pollucite (caesium mineral) has been confirmed at CV5 through prior mineralogy and geological modelling, which has outlined several areas where continuous lenses may be present.
• Targeted infill drilling at CV5 and CV13 to improve geological interpretation. These drill holes are focused on improving the Company’s geological models and testing alternative interpretations in certain areas.
• Pollucite pegmatite sample collection (BerryPick program) via two dedicated shallow coring rigs. At least 7 tons of sample material is estimated to have been collected which will be used for XRT¹ ore-sorting testwork scheduled for early 2027.
• Infill along the CV4 to CV5 gap with barge mounted drill rig. This gap is considered highly prospective for LCT pegmatite to be present. Only a portion of this gap, via step-outs at both ends, is anticipated to be drill tested this program.

Additionally, multiple infill drill holes are scheduled to be completed at the CV13 Pegmatite prior to the end of the program. These holes will target an upgrade in resource classification in certain areas from Inferred to Indicated as well as supporting geological interpretation.

The drill program is scheduled to be completed in mid-November, with assay results expected through Q1 2027. The results from the 2026 program will be incorporated into the ongoing and future development studies for the Project as well as an updated MRE (MRE-6), anticipated for the second half of 2027.

An updated MRE for the Project (MRE-5, the fifth for the Project) will be announced shortly, which will underpin an updated Feasibility Study for lithium and tantalum at the CV5 Pegmatite and a Preliminary Economic Assessment for lithium, caesium, and tantalum for the broader Project (CV5 & CV13 Pegmatites), which remains on schedule to be announced before year-end.

SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Create and arrange a variety of sounds for a single scene with VARCO Sound, the multitrack AI sound generator.

Multimodal AI company NC AI announced the official release of its generative AI platform, VARCO Sound, on the 20th. Users can easily generate and edit scene-appropriate audio using text, images, and videos. VARCO Sound is designed to help developers and producers who are unfamiliar with sound design bring their creative ideas to life with high-quality soundtracks.

Users can also access the web version of VARCO Sound by signing up on the official website.

NC AI also announced a promotion for VARCO Sound and the AI 3D generator VARCO 3D, running until Nov. 30 following the release. The offer supports continued creation by making AI-based content generation tools more accessible and is available to both new members and existing members who have been using the free version.

Users who make their first purchase during the promotion can receive a 50% discount on the first month of their subscription. Additional bonus points will also be provided, with higher-tier subscriptions receiving even more points. This offer is available once per account for VARCO Sound and VARCO 3D each.

Events will also be held in the official VARCO Discord community. Users who join through the dedicated links provided in each service announcement can enjoy one month of free access to the VARCO 3D Plus plan or the VARCO Sound Lite plan. The first 100 users to join the community will receive the exclusive “VARCO OG” title. In addition, the top five users who share game assets created with VARCO 3D in the community will be selected to receive service credits and titles. Event periods and participation details are available in the Discord announcements for each service

VARCO Sound is a comprehensive platform that allows users to generate and fine-tune audio tracks for content such as games, videos, and animations. Users can describe the desired audio through text or upload an image or video, and the AI analyzes the input to generate scene-appropriate Foley sounds, sound effects, ambient audio, and more.

The tool’s most unique feature is its ability to provide separate tracks for each audio source rather than a single audio file. Users can check each track individually, adjust its volume, or replace specific sound effects to further polish the result and better realize their creative vision.

In addition, the “Variation” feature allows users to build on their existing work. Users can upload an original sample to generate variations while preserving its texture and nuance. This substantially reduces the time required to refine ideas and develop prototypes.

The entire generation and editing process can be conducted through natural language using the conversational AI “Sound Agent.” A simple description of the desired outcome is analyzed by the AI agent, which automatically applies the appropriate features, lowering the entry barrier for new users.

Furthermore, VARCO Sound comes with an automatic volume mixer feature that prevents sounds from clashing when multiple tracks are played simultaneously. The AI examines and adjusts the volume balance between different tracks so that no sound is too loud or too quiet.

Currently, the maximum length of an audio file that can be generated is 60 seconds, and NC AI plans to continue improving the tool’s performance to support video inputs of up to 120 seconds.

NC AI has also released a desktop application and a Unity plugin that allows the tool to seamlessly integrate into the existing workflows of creators. Assets created through the desktop application can be dragged and dropped into other DAWs for immediate use. A personalized library search feature based on natural language and audio will be added in the future to further streamline each user’s workflow.

Moreover, the Unity plugin was selected as a Unity Verified Solution, demonstrating its performance and compatibility. The plugin allows game developers to stay within the Unity engine while creating audio tracks using just text and images and immediately apply them to their projects using the built-in editing tools.

NC AI’s CEO Yeonsoo Lee said, “VARCO Sound has evolved into an ‘AI platform designed for professional needs’ that boosts creators’ efficiency without disrupting their existing workflows.” Yeonsoo Lee added, “We will establish a new paradigm in the global audio creation ecosystem through continuous technological advancement and seamless integration with a wide range of external platforms.”
