DeskIn Positions Itself as the Execution Layer AI Remote Control Can’t Replace

DeskIn is not a replacement for AI assistants — it is the execution layer they lack. For remote workers, growing businesses, and global teams, DeskIn delivers what AI-integrated remote control cannot.

SINGAPORE, March 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DeskIn, the remote desktop software trusted by 40 million+ users across 180 million devices, today positioned itself as the dedicated high-performance remote control platform as AI tools begin introducing basic remote control features into their ecosystems.

With AI assistants expanding beyond advice, tools like Microsoft Copilot, Claude, and Google Gemini now interact with on-screen elements and simulate remote control actions. For everyday use, this could be adequate. For professionals with demanding workloads, the constraints are clear: limited latency thresholds, no high-frame-rate support, and single-device access.

Where DeskIn outperforms AI-integrated remote control:

  • Streaming performance: 4K at 60 FPS or 2K at 240 FPS, with latency below 40ms – giving users a direct, real-time view of their full desktop rather than a compressed screenshot. A video editor remotely rendering a 4K project from a mobile device, or a developer running a full build on a home machine while travelling, gets a comparable experience as sitting at the workstation.
  • Security: AES-256 encryption, ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certification, and precise access controls, designed for compliance-sensitive organisations and individuals. Security is built directly into the remote desktop architecture, rather than added as a secondary feature within a broader platform.
  • Cross-platform access: Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, and web, with simultaneous multi-device access for remote workers and distributed teams across time zones.
  • Flexible scaling: From a solo freelancer to a team managing dozens of devices, DeskIn scales to the requirement without additional overhead.

AI tools advise and automate. DeskIn provides direct, real-time remote control over the exact machine where their files, applications, and full development or creative environments live. Learn more or start a free trial at deskin.io.

Indonesia Brings Stock-Market Infrastructure to Crypto. ICEx Group Among Builders of New Infrastructure.

With 20 million crypto investors, more than double its stock traders, Indonesia mandates stock-market-style infrastructure for digital assets. ICEx Group raised $70 million to build it.

JAKARTA, Indonesia, March 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ICEx Group has secured comprehensive licenses from Indonesia’s Financial Services Authority (OJK) to operate an integrated digital asset exchange, clearing house, and custody provider, completing a regulatory structure that makes Indonesia among a small number of jurisdictions applying traditional capital-markets architecture to cryptocurrency.

Indonesia’s registered crypto investor base has grown from roughly 4 million in 2020 to 20.19 million as of December 2025 — a fivefold increase that now exceeds the country’s entire capital market investor base of 20.13 million SID. What took Indonesia’s capital markets decades to build, crypto achieved in five years. The country ranks third globally on the Chainalysis Crypto Adoption Index and leads the Central, Southern Asia & Oceania region in on-chain transaction value at approximately $157.1 billion.

Under Indonesia’s framework, overseen by OJK, every crypto transaction must pass through three distinct licensed layers: a regulated exchange (Bursa), a central clearinghouse, and an independent custodian—mirroring the architecture of conventional stock and derivatives markets.

ICEx Group was built to fill all three roles. The group comprises International Crypto Exchange (ICEx), Crypto Asset Clearing International (CACI), and International Crypto Custody (ICC), each independently licensed by OJK.

Eleven of Indonesia’s largest exchanges—including Ajaib, Floq, Indodax, Mobee, Nanovest, OSL Indonesia, Reku, Samuel Kripto Indonesia, Tokocrypto, Triv, and Upbit Indonesia—are founding shareholders, with participation from some of Indonesia’s biggest conglomerates and global exchanges as strategic investors. The consortium raised approximately Rp 1 trillion ($70 million).

“Indonesia’s regulation requires this three-layer infrastructure to exist. The 11 exchanges chose to own it collectively rather than depend on a third party,” said Pang Xue Kai, CEO of ICEx Group.

The mandated structure reduces counterparty risk and capital inefficiency. As the founding exchanges route through ICEx clearing and custody, the infrastructure reaches its combined 20-million-strong user base immediately.

Indonesia presents a rare convergence: massive retail adoption, regulatory openness, and now institutional plumbing to match. ICEx Group is also exploring regulated real-world asset tokenization and national stablecoin initiatives. The company will host its Grand Launch on April 2 2026, in Jakarta.

About ICEx

PT Fortuna Integritas Mandiri, operating under the brand International Crypto Exchange (ICEx), is an OJK-licensed digital asset exchange that officially commenced operations on 5 January 2026, following the issuance of its crypto exchange business license by the Financial Services Authority (OJK) under Decision No. KEP-2/D.07/2026.

About ICEx Group

ICEx Group is Indonesia’s leading digital asset market infrastructure developer, establishing the nation’s first integrated SRO ecosystem under OJK supervision. The group comprises three licensed entities: ICEx (digital asset exchange, KEP-2/D.07/2026), CACI (clearing services, KEP-12/D.07/2026), and ICC (institutional custody, KEP-11/D.07/2026). ICEx Group is dedicated to strengthening investor protection and enabling sustainable growth in Indonesia’s regulated digital economy.

Widest Caesium Drill Intercept to Date at the Helios Caesium Zone in Final Batch of 2025 Drill Results from Shaakichiuwaanaan

MONTREAL, March 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — March 19, 2026 – Sydney, Australia

Highlights

  • Widest caesium drill intercept recorded to date at the newly discovered Helios Zone:
    • 4.9 m at 3.65%Cs2O including 1.7 m at 6.14%Cs2O (CV25-979).
    • 0.5 m at 6.28%Cs2O (CV25-984).
  • Strong caesium grades intersected in drill hole located outside the known mineralized zones at the CV13 Pegmatite, indicating the presence of a new mineralized lens north of the Vega Zone:
    • 2.3 m at 4.65% Cs2O (CV25-999).
  • A total of 57,024 m (245 holes) of drilling was completed in 2025, with results for lithium, caesium, and tantalum now reported for all drill holes:
    • This release reports results from 1,176 m (7 holes) of drilling completed at the CV13 Pegmatite.

Darren L. Smith, Executive Vice President Exploration, comments: “The results conclude reporting for all drill holes from the Company’s highly successful 2025 drilling campaign at Shaakichiuwaanaan, which has delivered multiple significant new discoveries and further demonstrated the globally relevant scale, grade, and multi-commodity critical mineral potential of the Property. The team continues to execute at the highest levels, as exemplified in the Company’s continued exploration success and development progress.

“Current work is focused on integrating the new datasets into the Company’s exploration strategy and updated geological models, which will underpin the next round of exploration and an updated Feasibility Study at CV5 incorporating a tantalum co-product, as well as a Preliminary Economic Assessment for the broader Project covering lithium, caesium, and tantalum,” added Mr. Smith.        

PMET Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “PMET”) (TSX: PMET) (ASX: PMT) (OTCQX: PMETF) (FSE: R9GA) is pleased to report the final assay results from its 2025 drill campaign at the Company’s wholly-owned Shaakichiuwaanaan Property (the “Property” or “Project”), located in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec. The reported drill holes targeted caesium mineralization at the CV13 Pegmatite.

In addition to being one of the largest lithium-tantalum pegmatite Mineral Resources1 and lithium pegmatite Mineral Reserves2 globally, the Property also hosts the world’s largest in-situ pollucite-hosted caesium pegmatite Mineral Resource, comprising 0.69 Mt at 4.40% Cs2O (Indicated) and 1.70 Mt at 2.40% Cs2O (Inferred). The CV13 Pegmatite, which hosts the caesium Mineral Resource, is located ~3 km along trend from the CV5 Pegmatite, which is situated approximately 13 km south of the regional Trans-Taiga Road and powerline infrastructure corridor, and is accessible year-round by road.

_________________________

1 The Consolidated MRE (CV5 + CV13 pegmatites), which includes the Rigel and Vega caesium zones, totals 108.0 Mt at 1.40% Li2O, 0.11% Cs2O, 166 ppm Ta2O5, and 66 ppm Ga, Indicated, and 33.4 Mt at 1.33% Li2O, 0.21% Cs2O, 155 ppm Ta2O5, and 65 ppm Ga, Inferred, and is reported at a cut-off grade of 0.40% Li2O (open-pit), 0.60% Li2O (underground CV5), and 0.70% Li2O (underground CV13). A grade constraint of 0.50% Cs2O was used to model the Rigel and Vega caesium zones. Effective Date is June 20, 2025 (through CV24-787). Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves as they do not have demonstrated economic viability. Mineral Resources are inclusive of Mineral Reserves.

2 Probable Mineral Reserve of 84.3 Mt at 1.26% Li2O at the CV5 Pegmatite with a cut-off grade is 0.40% Li2O (open-pit) and 0.70% Li2O (underground). Underground development and open-pit marginal tonnage containing material above 0.37% Li2O are also included in the statement. The Effective Date is September 11, 2025. See Feasibility Study news release dated October 20, 2025.

Core assay results for caesium for the remaining 1,176 m (7 holes) from the 2025 drill campaign – all from at the CV13 Pegmatite – are reported in this announcement (see Figure 1, Table 1, and Table 2). Results for lithium and tantalum for all drill holes completed in 2025 at Shaakichiuwaanaan have been previously reported (see news releases dated December 14, 2025 and January 21, 2026). All reported widths are core length (i.e., true width not known).

Helios Caesium Zone (NEW 2025 DISCOVERY)

The Helios Caesium Zone at CV13 is a new 2025 discovery, is located near surface, has approximate dimensions of 180 m x 80 m at ~1 to ~3 m thickness, and remains open in several directions (Figure 1, Table 1, Figure 2). At Helios, initial drill hole results have confirmed high-grades of caesium including an intercept of 1.0 m at 21.52% Cs2O in drill hole CV25-975 (see news release dated February 3, 2026). Remaining drill hole results from 2025 are reported in this announcement and include the widest caesium intercept – also at strong grade – recorded to date at Helios:

  • 4.9 m at 3.65% Cs2O including 1.7 m at 6.14% Cs2O (CV25-979), Figure 2.
  • 0.5 m at 6.28% Cs2O (CV25-984).
  • 2.6 m at 1.14% Cs2O (CV25-968).

Core grades 0.5 m at 2.33% Cs2O within a wider mineralized interval of 4.9 m at 3.65% Cs2O (39.0 m to 43.9 m)

New Discovery Indicates A Potential New Zone North of Vega

The final batch of drill core assays has resulted in the discovery of strong caesium grades located outside of the other known zones of mineralization at the CV13 Pegmatite (i.e., outside of Vega, Rigel, Helios). The intercept – 2.3 m at 4.65% Cs2O (CV25-999) – is located approximately 70 m north of the currently defined Vega Caesium Zone and is closer to surface (~45 m vertical depth), indicating the presence of a new mineralized lens (Figure 1). The Company intends to follow-up on the mineralized intercept during its 2026 drill campaign.

Next Steps

Drill results for lithium, caesium, and tantalum have now been received and reported for all drill holes completed during the 2025 campaign (57,024 m over 245 holes). The geology team is currently interpreting and working with the data to advance the host rock and pegmatite geological models for the Project. The work is focused on the CV5 and CV13 pegmatites – including the Vega, Rigel, and Helios caesium zones – ahead of updates to their respective block models and subsequent Mineral Resource Estimates.

These revised models will underpin an updated Feasibility Study for the CV5 Pegmatite with the addition of tantalum as a co-product, as well as a Preliminary Economic Assessment for the broader Project inclusive of lithium, caesium, and tantalum. The Company is also actively advancing the permitting of an underground bulk sample of mineralized pegmatite at CV5.

A Quality Assurance / Quality Control protocol following industry best practices was incorporated into the program and included systematic insertion of quartz blanks and certified/standard reference materials into sample batches at a rate of approximately 5% each. Additionally, analysis of pulp-split sample duplicates was completed to assess analytical precision, and external (secondary) laboratory pulp-split duplicates were prepared at the primary lab for subsequent check analysis and validation.

All core samples collected were shipped to SGS Canada’s laboratory in Val-d’Or, QC, for sample preparation (code PRP90 special) which includes drying at 105°C, crush to 90% passing 2 mm, riffle split 250 g, and pulverize 85% passing 75 microns. The pulps were shipped by air to SGS Canada’s laboratory in Burnaby, BC, where the samples were homogenized and subsequently analyzed for multi-element (including Li, Ta, and Cs) using sodium peroxide fusion with ICP-AES/MS finish (codes GE_ICP91A50 and GE_IMS91A50). Overlimits for Cs were completed at SGS Canada’s laboratory in Lakefield, ON, by borate-fusion XRF (code GC_XRF76V).

About Caesium

Mineral deposits of pollucite-hosted caesium are very rare globally and represent the most fractionated component of LCT pegmatite systems, which are effectively the only known primary economic source of caesium supply. Economic deposits of caesium pegmatite are typically on a smaller scale of <10 kt to 350 kt in size compared to deposits of lithium pegmatite that typically range in the millions of tonnes in size (<10 Mt and rarely over 100 Mt).

The market for caesium compounds and metals is largely opaque because it is not publicly traded like copper or gold, but rather through bi-lateral and term contracts. Further, product prices vary depending on their contained caesium form, purity and end-product use. As an example, caesium carbonate (Cs2CO3≥99%) currently trades at more than US$200/kg (excluding VAT, Price Sourcing – Shanghai Metal Markets). 

Caesium is currently supply constrained, with only limited sources supplying the global market. A discovery at the size, grade, and scale of Shaakichiuwaanaan has the potential to be a primary source of supply for global markets over the long-term. This includes existing applications for caesium in oil/gas drilling, medical imaging, emissions reduction, atomic clocks and precision GPS navigation, as well as new and potentially growing applications in the terrestrial solar panel industry. Caesium has been found to play a vital role in significantly improving next generation solar panel efficiency, stability, and life span. Additionally, the use of caesium in lithium-ion batteries to improve performance is actively being explored through use as an additive in certain cathode, anode, and electrolyte chemistries.

Section 1 – Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria

JORC Code explanation

Commentary

Sampling techniques

  • Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific specialized industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
  • Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.
  • Aspects of the determination of mineralization that are Material to the Public Report.
  • In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverized to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralization types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.

  • Core sampling protocols meet industry standard practices.
  • Core sampling is guided by lithology as determined during geological logging (i.e., by a geologist). All pegmatite intervals are sampled in their entirety (half-core), regardless if spodumene mineralization is noted or not (in order to ensure an unbiased sampling approach) in addition to ~1 to 3 m of sampling into the adjacent host rock (dependent on pegmatite interval length) to “bookend” the sampled pegmatite.
  • The minimum individual sample length is typically 0.5 m and the maximum sample length is typically 2.0 m. Targeted individual pegmatite sample lengths are 1.0 to 1.5 m.
  • All drill core is oriented to maximum foliation prior to logging and sampling and is cut with a core saw into half-core pieces, with one half-core collected for assay, and the other half-core remaining in the box for reference.
  • Core samples collected from drill holes were shipped to SGS Canada’s laboratory in Val-d’Or, QC, for sample preparation (code PRP90 special) which included drying at 105°C, crush to 90% passing 2 mm, riffle split 250 g, and pulverize 85% passing 75 microns.
  • All drill core sample pulps were shipped by air to SGS Canada’s laboratory in Burnaby, BC, where the samples were homogenized and subsequently analysed for multi-element (including Li, Ta, and Cs) using sodium peroxide fusion with ICP-AES/MS finish (codes GE_ICP91A50 and GE_IMS91A50). Overlimits for Cs were completed at SGS Canada’s laboratory in Lakefield, ON, by borate-fusion XRF (code GC_XRF76V).

 

Drilling techniques

  • Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc).

  • NQ or HQ3 size core diamond drilling was completed for all holes. Core was not oriented.

Drill sample recovery

  • Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed.
  • Measures taken to maximize sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples.
  • Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.

  • All drill core was geotechnically logged following industry standard practices, and include TCR, RQD, ISRM, and Q-Method (since mid-winter 2023). Core recovery typically exceeds 90%.

Logging

  • Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography.
  • The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged.

  • Upon receipt at the core shack, all drill core is pieced together, oriented to maximum foliation, metre marked, geotechnically logged (including structure), alteration logged, geologically logged, and sample logged on an individual sample basis. Core box photos are also collected of all core drilled, regardless of perceived mineralization. Specific gravity measurements of pegmatite are also collected at systematic intervals for all pegmatite drill core using the water immersion method, as well as select host rock drill core.
  • The logging is qualitative by nature, and includes estimates of spodumene grain size, inclusions, and model mineral estimates.
  • These logging practices meet or exceed current industry standard practices.

Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation

  • If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken.
  • If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry.
  • For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique.
  • Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximize representivity of samples.
  • Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling.
  • Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled.

  • Drill core sampling followed industry best practices. Drill core was saw-cut with half-core sent for geochemical analysis and half-core remaining in the box for reference. The same side of the core was sampled to maintain representativeness.
  • The minimum individual sample length is typically 0.5 m and the maximum sample length is typically 2.0 m. Targeted individual pegmatite sample lengths are 1.0 to 1.5 m.
  • Sample sizes are considered appropriate for the material being assayed.
  • A Quality Assurance / Quality Control protocol following industry best practices was incorporated into the program and included systematic insertion of quartz blanks and certified/standard reference materials into sample batches at a rate of approximately 5% each.

  • All protocols employed are considered appropriate for the sample type and nature of mineralization and are considered the optimal approach for maintaining representativeness in sampling.

Quality of assay data and laboratory tests

  • The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total.
  • For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc.
  • Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established.

  • Core samples collected from drill holes were shipped to SGS Canada’s laboratory in Val-d’Or, QC, for sample preparation (code PRP90 special) which included drying at 105°C, crush to 90% passing 2 mm, riffle split 250 g, and pulverize 85% passing 75 microns.
  • All drill core sample pulps were shipped by air to SGS Canada’s laboratory in Burnaby, BC, where the samples were homogenized and subsequently analysed for multi-element (including Li, Ta, and Cs) using sodium peroxide fusion with ICP-AES/MS finish (codes GE_ICP91A50 and GE_IMS91A50). Overlimits for Cs were completed at SGS Canada’s laboratory in Lakefield, ON, by borate-fusion XRF (code GC_XRF76V).
  • The Company relies on both its internal QAQC protocols (systematic use of blanks, certified/standard reference materials, and external checks), as well as the laboratory’s internal QAQC.
  • All protocols employed are considered appropriate for the sample type and nature of mineralization and are considered the optimal approach for maintaining representativeness in sampling.

  • The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel.
  • The use of twinned holes.
  • Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols.
  • Discuss any adjustment to assay data.

  • Intervals are reviewed and compiled by the EVP Exploration and Project Managers prior to disclosure, including a review of the Company’s internal QAQC sample analytical data.
  • No twinned holes were completed.
  • Data capture utilizes MX Deposit software whereby core logging data is entered directly into the software for storage, including direct import of laboratory analytical certificates as they are received. The Company employs various on-site and post QAQC protocols to ensure data integrity and accuracy.
  • Adjustments to data include reporting lithium, casesium, and tantalum in their oxide forms, as it is reported in elemental form in the assay certificates. Formulas used are Li2O = Li x 2.153, Ta2O5 = Ta x 1.221, and Cs2O = Cs x 1.0602

Location of data points

  • Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.
  • Specification of the grid system used.
  • Quality and adequacy of topographic control.

  • Each drill hole collar has been surveyed with an RTK Trimble Zephyr 3. 
  • The coordinate system used is UTM NAD83 Zone 18.
  • The Company completed a property-wide LiDAR and orthophoto survey in August 2022, which provides high-quality topographic control.
  • The quality and accuracy of the topographic controls are considered adequate for advanced stage exploration and development, including Mineral Resource estimation.

Data spacing and distribution

  • Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.
  • Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied.
  • Whether sample compositing has been applied.

  • At CV13, drill hole spacing is a combination of grid based (at ~100 m spacing) and fan based with multiple holes collared from the same pad. Therefore, collar locations and hole orientations may vary widely, which reflect the varied orientation of the pegmatite body along strike. Pegmatite pierce points of ~50 (Indicated, Li-Ta) to 100 m (Inferred, Li-Ta) spacing are targeted.
  • Based on the nature of the mineralization and continuity in geological modelling, the drill hole spacing is anticipated to be sufficient to support a MRE.
  • Core sample lengths typically range from 0.5 to 2.0 m and average ~1.0 to 1.5 m. Sampling is continuous within all pegmatite encountered in the drill hole.
  • Core samples are not composited upon collection or for analysis.

Orientation of data in relation to geological structure

  • Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type.
  • If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralized structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material.

  • No sampling bias is anticipated based on structure within the mineralized body.
  • The principal mineralized bodies are relatively undeformed and very competent, although have meaningful structural control.
  • At CV13, the principal pegmatite body has a varied strike and shallow northerly dip. The Rigel,  Vega, and Helios zones are hosted entirely within the CV13 Pegmatite as lenses concordant to the local pegmatite orientation.

Sample security

  • The measures taken to ensure sample security.

  • Samples were collected by Company staff or its consultants following specific protocols governing sample collection and handling. Core samples were bagged, placed in large supersacs for added security, palleted, and shipped directly to Val-d’Or, QC, being tracked during shipment along with Chain of Custody. Upon arrival at the laboratory, the samples were cross-referenced with the shipping manifest to confirm all samples were accounted for. At the laboratory, sample bags are evaluated for tampering.

Audits or reviews

  • The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data.

  • A review of the sample procedures for the Company’s drill programs has been reviewed by several Qualified/Competent Persons through multiple NI 43-101 technical reports completed for the Company and deemed adequate and acceptable to industry best practices. The most recent Technical Report includes a review of sampling techniques and data through 2024 (drill hole CV24-787) in a technical report titled “CV5 Pegmatite Lithium-Only Feasibility Study NI 43-101 Technical Report, Shaakichiuwaanaan Project” with an Effective Date of October 20, 2025, and Issue Date of November 14, 2025.
  • Additionally, the Company continually reviews and evaluates its procedures in order to optimize and ensure compliance at all levels of sample data collection and handling.

Section 2 – Reporting of Exploration Results

Criteria

JORC Code explanation

Commentary

Mineral tenement and land tenure status

  • Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings.
  • The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area.

  • The Shaakichiuwaanaan Property (formerly called “Corvette”) is comprised of 463 CDC claims located in the James Bay Region of Quebec, with Lithium Innova Inc. (wholly owned subsidiary of PMET Resources Inc.) being the registered title holder for all of the claims. The northern border of the Property’s primary claim block is located within approximately 6 km to the south of the Trans-Taiga Road and powerline infrastructure corridor. The CV5 Spodumene Pegmatite is accessible year-round by all-season road is situated approximately 13.5 km south of the regional and all‑weather Trans-Taiga Road and powerline infrastructure. The CV13 and CV9 spodumene pegmatites are located approximately 3 km west-southwest and 14 km west of CV5, respectively.
  • The Company holds 100% interest in the Property subject to various royalty obligations depending on original acquisition agreements. DG Resources Management holds a 2% NSR (no buyback) on 76 claims, D.B.A. Canadian Mining House holds a 2% NSR on 50 claims (half buyback for $2M), OR Royalties holds a sliding scale NSR of 1.5-3.5% on precious metals, and 2% on all other products, over 111 claims, and Azimut Exploration holds 2% NSR on 39 claims.
  • The Property does not overlap any atypically sensitive environmental areas or parks, or historical sites to the knowledge of the Company. There are no known hinderances to operating at the Property, apart from the goose harvesting season (typically mid-April to mid-May) where the communities request helicopter flying not be completed, and potentially wildfires depending on the season, scale, and location.
  • Claim expiry dates range from July 2026 to July 2028. 

Exploration done by other parties

  • Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties.

  • No previous exploration targeting LCT pegmatites has been conducted by other parties at the Project.
  • For a summary of previous exploration undertaken by other parties at the Project, please refer to the most recent NI 43-101 Technical Report.

Geology

  • Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralization.

  • The Property overlies a large portion of the Lac Guyer Greenstone Belt, considered part of the larger La Grande River Greenstone Belt and is dominated by volcanic rocks metamorphosed to amphibolite facies. The claim block is dominantly host to rocks of the Guyer Group (amphibolite, iron formation, intermediate to mafic volcanics, peridotite, pyroxenite, komatiite, as well as felsic volcanics). The amphibolite rocks that trend east-west (generally steeply south dipping) through this region are bordered to the north by the Magin Formation (conglomerate and wacke) and to the south by an assemblage of tonalite, granodiorite, and diorite, in addition to metasediments of the Marbot Group (conglomerate, wacke). Several regional-scale Proterozoic gabbroic dykes also cut through portions of the Property (Lac Spirt Dykes, Senneterre Dykes).
  • The geological setting is prospective for multiple commodities over several different deposit styles including orogenic gold (Au), volcanogenic massive sulphide (Cu, Au, Ag), komatiite-ultramafic (Au, Ag, PGE, Ni, Cu, Co), and LCT pegmatite (Li, Cs, Ta, Ga, Rb).
  • Exploration of the Property has outlined three primary mineral exploration trends crossing dominantly east-west over large portions of the Property – Golden Trend (gold), Maven Trend (copper, gold, silver), and CV Trend (lithium, caesium, tantalum). The CV4, CV5, CV8, CV12, and CV13 pegmatites are situated within the CV Trend.
  • The pegmatites at Shaakichiuwaanaan are categorized as Li-Cs-Ta (“LCT”) pegmatites. LCT mineralization at the Property is observed to occur within quartz-feldspar pegmatite. The pegmatite is often very coarse-grained and off-white in appearance, with darker sections commonly composed of mica and smoky quartz, and occasional tourmaline.
  • Core assays and ongoing mineralogical studies, coupled with field mineral identification and assays confirm spodumene as the dominant lithium-bearing mineral on the Property, with no significant petalite, lepidolite, lithium-phosphate minerals, or apatite present. The spodumene crystal size of the pegmatites is typically decimeter scale, and therefore, very large. The pegmatites also carry significant tantalum (tantalite) and caesium (pollucite). Gallium is present in spodumene and feldspar via substitution with Al.

Drill hole Information

  • A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes:
    • easting and northing of the drill hole collar
    • elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar
    • dip and azimuth of the hole
    • down hole length and interception depth
    • hole length.
  • If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case.

  • Drill hole attribute information is included in a table herein.
  • Results for pegmatite intervals <2 m are not typically reported unless the intercept is assays >1% Cs2O.

Data aggregation methods

  • In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated.
  • Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail.
  • The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated.

  • Length weighted averages were used to calculate grade over width.
  • No specific grade cap or cut-off was used during grade width calculations for lithium or tantalum. The lithium, tantalum, and caesium length weighted average grade of the entire pegmatite interval is calculated for all pegmatite intervals over 2 m core length, as well as higher grade zones at the discretion of the geologist. Additionally, for caesium specific zones, a general cut-off of 0.5% Cs2O was used to calculate pegmatite intervals assaying >1% Cs2O, which are reported when applicable.
  • Pegmatites have inconsistent mineralization by nature, resulting in some intervals having a small number of poorly mineralized samples included in the calculation. Non-pegmatite internal dilution is limited to typically <3 m where relevant and intervals indicated when assays are reported.
  • No metal equivalents have been reported.

Relationship between mineralization widths and intercept lengths

  • These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results.
  • If the geometry of the mineralization with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported.
  • If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole length, true width not known’).

  • At CV13, current interpretation supports a series of sub-parallel trending sills with a flat-lying to shallow northerly dip. Within the CV13 Pegmatite body are the Rigel, Vega, and Helios zones, which follow the local trend of the wider pegmatite body.
  • All reported widths are core length.

Diagrams

  • Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported. These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views.

  • Please refer to the figures included herein as well as those posted on the Company’s website.

Balanced reporting

  • Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results.

  • Reporting is balanced. 
  • Please refer to the table(s) included herein.
  • Results for pegmatite intervals <2 m are not typically reported. However, all intervals where Cs exceeds 1% Cs2O are reported.

Other substantive exploration data

  • Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances.

  • The Company is currently completing site environmental work over the CV5 and CV13 pegmatite area. No endangered flora or fauna have been documented over the Property to date, and several sites have been identified as potentially suitable for mine infrastructure.
  • The Company has completed a bathymetric survey over the shallow glacial lake which overlies a portion of the CV5 Spodumene Pegmatite. The lake depth ranges from <2 m to approximately 18 m, although the majority of the CV5 Spodumene Pegmatite, as delineated to date, is overlain by typically <2 to 10 m of water.
  • The Company has completed significant metallurgical testing comprised of HLS and magnetic testing, which has produced 6+% Li2O spodumene concentrates at >70% recovery on both CV5 and CV13 pegmatite material. A DMS test on CV5 Pegmatite material returned a Subsequent and more expansive DMS pilot programs completed, including with non-pegmatite dilution, produced results in line with prior testwork, confirming a DMS-only flowsheet is applicable. The Company has also produced a marketable lithium hydroxide concentrate from CV5’s spodumene concentrate.
  • The Company has produced marketable tantalite concentrates at bench-scale from the CV5 Pegmatite’s DMS (spodumene) tailings fractions. The testwork used gravity or gravity + flotation methods to produce tantalite concentrates grading 8.7% Ta2O5 at 45% global recovery (MC001) and 6.6% Ta2O5 at 49% global recovery (MC002).
  • The Company has produced marketable pollucite concentrates at bench-scale from the CV13 Pegmatite’s Vega Caesium Zone. The testwork used XRT ore sorting to produce concentrates of 11.5% Cs2O and 20.0% Cs2O at an overall 88% recovery.
  • Various mandates required for advancing the Project have been completed or are ongoing, including but not limited to, environmental baseline, metallurgy, geomechanics, hydrogeology, hydrology, stakeholder engagement, geochemical characterization, as well as transportation and logistical studies. A Feasibility Study for lithium-only on the CV5 Pegmatite was announced October 20, 2025.

Further work

  • The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).
  • Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive.

  • The Company intends to continue drilling the pegmatites of the Shaakichiuwaanaan Property, primarily targetting lithium, caesium, and tantalum as the primary commodities of interest. This is anticipated to includes step-out and infill drilling.
  • Further drilling is anticipated to support the development of the CV5 and CV13 pegmatites (i.e., resource, geotechnical, geomechanical, and hydrogeological).
  • Metallurgical test programs evaluating the recovery of lithium, caesium, and tantalum are ongoing.
  • Surface prospecting, rock sampling, and mapping is planned to continue across the Property focused on LCT pegmatite.

Ethisphere recognizes manufacturer’s commitment to ethical business practices for the 20th consecutive year

SPARTANBURG, S.C., March 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Milliken & Company has been named one of the 2026 World’s Most Ethical Companies® by Ethisphere, marking the 20th consecutive year the global diversified manufacturer has received the recognition. Milliken is one of only six companies to be honored every year since the program’s inception in 2007.

Milliken & Company has been recognized as one of the 2026 World’s Most Ethical Companies® by Ethisphere for the 20th consecutive year.
Milliken & Company has been recognized as one of the 2026 World’s Most Ethical Companies® by Ethisphere for the 20th consecutive year.

The milestone reflects a long‑standing commitment to ethical business practices that are embedded across Milliken’s governance, culture, and operations.

“Earning recognition as a World’s Most Ethical Company for twenty consecutive years reflects something deeply ingrained at Milliken,” said Halsey Cook, president and CEO of Milliken & Company. “That kind of consistency does not happen by chance, and it’s not because of a single policy or leader. It is built over time through a culture that encourages everyone across the organization to make the right choices day after day, even when no one is watching.”

Milliken’s ethics and compliance program is built around formal governance, documented standards, and continuous oversight. Ethics and compliance are integrated into enterprise risk management and reinforced through ongoing training, leadership accountability, and reporting mechanisms that encourage associates to speak up.

“Being recognized as a World’s Most Ethical Company does not suggest the work is complete,” said Kasel Knight, executive vice president, chief legal officer, and head of sustainability. “It reinforces the importance of maintaining strong systems, remaining transparent, and continuing to evolve as expectations and risks change.”

The World’s Most Ethical Companies assessment is based on Ethisphere’s proprietary Ethics Quotient®, which evaluates companies across governance, ethics and compliance, culture, environmental and social impact, and value‑chain practices. The assessment requires extensive documentation and validation of policies, programs, and practices.

“Our World’s Most Ethical Companies process has evolved over the last two decades, and Milliken’s practices have kept pace with our rising expectations,” said Erica Salmon Byrne, Ethisphere’s Chief Strategy Officer and Executive Chair. “We know that companies committed to business integrity are best positioned to navigate rapid change. Congratulations to the Milliken team for this consistent recognition.”
