Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - January 27, 2026) - Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (TSXV: RDS) (OTCQX: RMRDF) ("Radisson" or the "Company") is pleased to announce assay results from seven new drill holes completed at its 100%-owned O'Brien Gold Project ("O'Brien" or the "Project") located in the Abitibi region of Québec. The seven holes are the latest completed as part of the Company's ongoing 140,000-metre step-out drill program designed to test the overall scope of gold mineralization at the Project (see Radisson news release dated October 16, 2025). Three separate and equally significant results are contained within the new data (summarized below, and in Figure 1):1. Broad Mineralized Zones with High-Grade Vein Intercepts at "Trend #1", Extending New Mineralization to 1,450 Metres Vertical Depth, 375 Metres Below the Existing Mineral ResourcesOB-25-322W3 intersected 23.37 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au") over 4.0 metres (core length) including 60.60 g/t Au over 1.5 metres and 2.50 g/t Au over 19.0 metres including 4.94 g/t Au over 1.5 metres and including 3.93 g/t Au over 3.0 metres;OB-25-322W4 intersected 2.37 g/t Au over 11.5 metres including 10.89 g/t Au over 1.0 metre;2. Completion of Final 14th and 15th Wedges from Pilot Hole OB-24-337, Continuing the Delineation of New Mineralization in Multiple Veins Beneath the Historic Mine Workings OB-25-337W15 intersected 5.38 g/t Au over 4.5 metres including 8.86 g/t Au over 1.5 metres;OB-25-337W14 intersected 1.49 g/t Au over 16.1 metres including 4.26 g/t Au over 1.5 metres and including 3.37 g/t Au over 1.5 metres;3. Deepest Ever Intercept Beneath the Historic Mine with a New, Deep Pilot Hole Extending Mineralization to 1,620 Metres Vertical Depth and Providing Platform for Further DrillingOB-25-378 intersected 15.70 g/t Au over 1.1 metres;Matt Manson, President and CEO: "This latest batch of drill assays from O'Brien contain notable results from several areas of focus in our 140,000 metre step-out drill program. We continue to push the limits of known mineralization at O'Brien outwards and downwards. Two wedges completed from drill hole OB-24-322 demonstrate more characteristic zones of broad and mineralized alteration with high-grade quartz-sulphide-gold veins, pushing the known extents of the Project's "Trend #1" to a new depth extent of 1,450 metres. Beneath the historic O'Brien Mine, we have been reporting for the past 12 months the progressive delineation of a broad system of high-grade veins showing good continuity with the former mine workings above. The final two wedges drilled from the pilot hole OB-24-337 have also successfully intercepted these veins with reliable consistency. In fact, each of the fifteen wedges drilled from this pilot hole have returned vein intercepts with grades and thicknesses consistent with the Project's mineral resources: a 100% success rate in this developing area. Now, new pilot hole OB-25-378, representing a step-down in depth again, has intercepted further, multiple mineralized zones and high-grades, pushing this area of gold mineralization down to 1,620 metres vertical depth, the deepest intercepts yet achieved at the Project. We have not yet found the bottom of the O'Brien gold system. Six rigs are active at the Project site, with two more rigs mobilizing shortly."Figure 1: Longitudinal Vertical Section and Plan View of Gold Vein Mineralization and Mineral Resources at the O'Brien Gold Project, with Today's Drill Holes IllustratedTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/281737_74e08c8d6491c912_001full.jpgTable 1: Assay Results from Select Drill HolesDDHZone From(m) To(m) CoreLength(m)Au g/t -UncutHost LithologyOB-25-322W3Trend #1 1,379.51,381.01.503.24V3-S 1,443.51,444.81.305.31POR-S 1,472.0 1,491.0 19.002.50 S1p/POR-N Including 1,477.0 1,478.5 1.504.94 S1p Including 1,484.5 1,487.5 3.003.93 S1p 1,531.0 1,535.0 4.0023.37 POR-N/V3-N Including 1,532.5 1,534.0 1.5060.60 POR-N/V3-N OB-25-322W4Trend #1 1,250.01,251.51.503.85V3-S 1,341.5 1,353.0 11.502.37 POR-S Including 1,347.5 1,348.5 1.0010.89 POR-S OB-25-337W14O'Brien Mine East 1,206.01,210.04.003.13V3-S 1,209.01,210.01.004.70V3-S 1,215.4 1,231.5 16.101.49 POR-S/V3-CEN Including 1,218.0 1,219.5 1.504.26 POR-S/V3-CEN Including 1,225.5 1,227.0 1.503.37 POR-S/V3-CEN 1,237.51,240.32.803.81V3-CEN 1,239.01,240.31.307.11V3-CEN 1,272.01,273.51.508.48S1pOB-25-337W15O'Brien Mine East 1,247.01,251.04.005.11V3-CEN 1,248.01,249.01.009.84V3-CEN 1,306.0 1,310.5 4.505.38 V3-N Including 1,307.5 1,309.0 1.508.86 V3-N OB-25-377W1O'Brien Mine West 1,204.9 1,214.3 9.403.48 V3-CEN Including 1,206.4 1,210.7 4.305.92 V3-CEN 1,224.91,226.01.103.00V3-CEN / S1p 1,243.01,245.02.004.74S1pIncluding1,244.01,245.01.006.44S1pOB-25-377W2O'Brien Mine West 1,302.01,303.01.008.09POR-N 1,327.71,329.82.103.67V3-NOB-25-378O'Brien Mine East 1,665.51,667.01.503.07POR-S 1,673.8 1,674.9 1.1015.70 POR-S 1,681.31,682.31.003.47POR-S 1,702.61,704.01.403.26V3-CEN Notes on Calculation of Drill Intercepts:The O'Brien Gold Project Mineral Resource Estimate effective May 6, 2025 ("MRE") utilizes a 2.20 g/t Au bottom cut-off, a US$2,000 gold price, a minimum mining width of 1.2 metres, and a 40 g/t Au upper cap on composites.

Lithology Codes: PON-S3: Pontiac Sediments; V3-S, V3-N, V3-CEN: Basalt-South, North, Central; S1P, S3P: Conglomerate; POR-S, POR-N: Porphyry South, North; TX: Crystal Tuff; ZFLLC: Larder Lake-Cadillac Fault Zone.Gold Mineralization at O'BrienGold mineralizing quartz-sulphide veins at O'Brien occur within a thin band of interlayered mafic volcanic rocks, conglomerates, and porphyritic andesitic sills of the Piché Group occurring in contact with the east-west oriented Larder Lake-Cadillac Break ("LLCB"). Gold, along with pyrite and arsenopyrite, is typically associated with shearing and a pervasive biotite alteration, and developed within multiple Piché Group lithologies and, occasionally, the hanging-wall Pontiac and footwall Cadillac meta-sedimentary rocks.As mapped at the historic O'Brien mine, and now replicated in the modern drilling, individual veins are generally narrow, ranging from several centimetres up to several metres in thickness. Multiple veins occur sub-parallel to each other, as well as sub-parallel to the Piché lithologies and the LLCB. Individual veins have well-established lateral continuity, with steeply plunging grade shoots developed over significant lengths. Based on the historic data available, it is clear that the former mine was "high-graded", with mining focussed on a main central stope and parallel veins identified but left undeveloped.The historic O'Brien mine produced over half a million ounces of gold from such veins and shoots at an average grade exceeding 15 g/t Au and over a vertical extent of at least 1,000 metres. Modern exploration has focussed on delineating well developed vein mineralization to the east of the historic mine, with additional high-grade shoots becoming evident in the exploration data over what has been described as a series of repeating trends ("Trend #s 0 to 5").Figure 2: Deep Step-Out Drill Holes Completed and/or Published by the Company since December 2024To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/281737_74e08c8d6491c912_003full.jpgStep-Out Drilling at O'BrienSince the end of 2024, Radisson has been pursuing a program of broad step-outs beneath the historic O'Brien Gold mine and the existing mineral resources designed to test the extent of mineralization at the Project. This drilling is accomplished with pilot holes followed by wedges and directional drilling to maximize drill efficiency. On October 16, 2025, Radisson announced the expansion of the step-out drill program to 140,000 metres employing an eventual eight drill rigs. Since this program began, 84% of completed drill holes have intersected gold mineralization with grades and core-lengths consistent with the Project's Mineral Resources (Table 2).Table 2: Drill Results Published for the O'Brien Gold Project since December 2024Date of PublicationTotal Number of Drill HolesDrill Holes withIntercepts >+3g/tSuccess Rate (%)January 27th, 202677100%January 6th, 20266583%28th October 2025151387%8th September, 2025151387%16th July 2025141179%2nd April 202533100%26th February 2025201575%16th December 202411100%Total816884% The origin of the step-out drill program was the deep pilot hole OB-24-337, which was the first exploration drill hole located below the former mine workings since mining ended in 1957. This hole intersected 31.24 g/t Au over 8.0 metres, including 242.0 g/t Au over 1.0 metre at approximately 1,500 metres vertical depth (see Radisson news release dated December 16, 2024). With today's results, a full complement of assay results from all fifteen wedges drilled from OB-24-337 have now been reported and up to eight gold-bearing veins have been delineated. Drilling in this area will now focus on new pilot hole OB-25-378 which has been successfully completed to a vertical depth of 1,740 metres. This hole has returned multiple zones of alteration and gold mineralization, showing continuity with the multiple-vein system modelled above, and a high-grade vein intercept of 15.70 g/t Au over 1.1 metres at 1,620 metres vertical depth, the deepest intercept ever returned at the Project. Taken together, the results extend the area of new mineralization beneath the historic mine workings to approximately 250 metres (east-west) by 600 metres (vertical). Drilling of the first wedge from pilot hole OB-25-378 is currently underway.Today's release includes drill assays from two wedges completed from pilot hole OB-24-322 testing the downward extension of the Project's "Trend #1". Both wedges returned broad zones of mineralized alteration with high-grade vein intercepts, including OB-25-322W3 with 23.37 g/t Au over 4.0 metres including 60.60 g/t Au over 1.5 metres. Recall that drilling in this area has returned similarly high-grade intercepts, including OB-24-324 with 27.61 g/t Au over 6.0 metres including 102.0 g/t Au over 1.1 metres and 6.83 g/t Au over 10.0 metres including 40.2 g/t Au over 1.5 metres, and the OB-24-322 pilot hole itself which returned 8.75 g/t Au over 5.2 metres including 27.2 g/t Au over 1.4 metres (Figure 3 and Radisson news release dated September 24, 2024). These results, taken together, have extended gold mineralization at Trend #1 to 1,450 metres vertical depth, 375 metres below the current Mineral Resources.Today's release also includes results from two wedges from pilot hole OB-25-377 located between the western and eastern portions of the former mine (Figure 1). These holes have returned multiple zones of mineralization, such as OB-25-377W1 with 3.48 g/t Au over 9.4 metres including 5.92 g/t Au over 4.3 metres. This area had previously been thought to have lower potential for new mineral resources, given the absence of mining stopes above. The new intercepts illustrate the broad extent of the O'Brien gold mineralizing system and the high-grading nature of the former mine.Figure 3: Vertical Cross Section through "Trend #1 with Pilot Holes OB-24-322 and 324, and WedgesTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/281737_74e08c8d6491c912_004full.jpgTable 3: Detailed Assay Results (see "Notes on Calculation of Drill Intercepts")DDHZone From(m) To(m) CoreLength(m)Au g/t -UncutHost LithologyOB-25-322W3Trend #1 1,379.5 1,381.0 1.503.24V3-S 1,440.51,444.84.302.48POR-SIncluding 1,443.5 1,444.8 1.305.31POR-S 1,472.01,491.019.002.50S1p/POR-NIncluding 1,477.0 1,478.5 1.504.94S1pIncluding 1,484.5 1,487.5 3.003.93S1p 1,531.0 1,535.0 4.0023.37POR-N/V3-NIncluding 1,532.5 1,534.0 1.5060.60POR-N/V3-N 1,538.21,539.51.301.28S3pOB-25-322W4Trend #1 1,247.01,251.54.502.57V3-SIncluding 1,250.0 1,251.5 1.503.85V3-S 1,334.01,335.51.501.55POR-S 1,341.51,353.011.502.37POR-SIncluding 1,347.5 1,348.5 1.0010.89POR-S 1,360.21,364.24.001.10POR-S 1,377.51,383.56.001.28S1p 1,405.01,406.51.501.40POR-NOB-25-337W14O'Brien Mine East 1,109.01,110.51.503.06PON-S3 1,188.01,189.51.501.24V3-S 1,195.51,197.01.501.81V3-S 1,206.0 1,210.0 4.003.13V3-SIncluding 1,209.0 1,210.0 1.004.70V3-S 1,215.41,231.516.101.49POR-S/V3-CENIncluding 1,218.0 1,219.5 1.504.26POR-S/V3-CENIncluding 1,225.5 1,227.0 1.503.37POR-S/V3-CEN 1,237.5 1,240.3 2.803.81V3-CENIncluding 1,239.0 1,240.3 1.307.11V3-CEN 1,264.51,266.01.501.05S1p 1,272.0 1,273.5 1.508.48S1p 1,283.31,284.81.502.09TX 1,328.01,329.51.502.58S3pOB-25-337W15O'Brien Mine East 1,239.01,240.11.101.11POR-S 1,247.0 1,251.0 4.005.11V3-CENIncluding 1,248.0 1,249.0 1.009.84V3-CEN 1,282.51,284.01.501.06S1p 1,293.01,294.01.001.13POR-N 1,296.01,297.41.401.74POR-N 1,298.91,300.01.101.34V3-N 1,306.0 1,310.5 4.505.38V3-NIncluding 1,307.5 1,309.0 1.508.86V3-NOB-25-377W1O'Brien Mine West 1,196.91,197.91.001.44V3-CEN 1,204.9 1,214.3 9.403.48V3-CENIncluding 1,206.4 1,210.7 4.305.92V3-CEN 1,222.01,227.55.501.94V3-CEN / S1pIncluding 1,224.9 1,226.0 1.103.00V3-CEN / S1p 1,235.01,236.51.502.80S1p 1,243.0 1,245.0 2.004.74S1pIncluding 1,244.0 1,245.0 1.006.44S1p 1,249.01,250.01.001.18S1p 1,271.51,272.71.201.30V3-NOB-25-377W2O'Brien Mine West 1,206.61,210.53.901.76POR-S / V3-CEN 1,291.01,296.05.001.10S1p 1,297.41,304.57.102.03POR-NIncluding 1,302.0 1,303.0 1.008.09 POR-N 1,327.71,333.55.801.97V3-NIncluding 1,327.7 1,329.8 2.103.67V3-NOB-25-378O'Brien Mine East 1,653.01,654.51.501.10POR-S 1,664.01,667.03.002.14POR-SIncluding 1,665.5 1,667.0 1.503.07 POR-S 1,673.8 1,674.9 1.1015.70 POR-S 1,681.31,689.98.601.15POR-SIncluding 1,681.3 1,682.3 1.003.47 POR-S 1,701.51,704.02.502.40V3-CENIncluding 1,702.6 1,704.0 1.403.26 V3-CEN 1,713.51,715.01.503.47S1p 1,746.51,748.01.502.01TX Table 4: Drill Hole Collar Information for Holes contained in this News Release HELLODDHZoneEastingNorthingAzimuthDipHole Length (m)OB-25-322W3Trend #169419953450980-85.0687.0OB-25-322W4Trend #169419953450980-85.0650.0OB-25-337W14O'Brien Mine East6937005345070346-79.5460.0OB-25-337W15O'Brien Mine East6937005345070346-79.5476.0OB-25-377W1O'Brien Mine West6932725345054345-79.5686.0OB-25-377W2O'Brien Mine West6932725345054345-79.5710.0OB-25-378O'Brien Mine East6936405345014357-83.01820.0Notes:Hole lengths for wedges represent meterage from point of wedge.

Patent Allowance Strengthens Intellectual Property Position in Advanced Battery and Dual-Use Energy Storage MaterialsOttawa, Ontario--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - January 26, 2026) - Focus Graphite Inc. (TSXV: FMS) (OTCQB: FCSMF) (FSE: FKC0) ("Focus" or the "Company"), a leading developer of high-grade flake graphite deposits and advanced graphite materials for battery, defence, and industrial applications, is pleased to announce that the Canadian Intellectual Property Office ("CIPO") has allowed the Company's Canadian patent application No. 3,209,696, entitled "Advanced Anode Materials Comprising Spheroidal Additive-Enhanced Graphite Particles and Process for Making Same" (the "Patent"). The allowance confirms that the Canadian Intellectual Property Office has completed its substantive examination and determined that the Patent claims meet all Canadian requirements for patentability, including novelty and inventiveness. Subject to the completion of final administrative steps, the Patent is expected to proceed to formal grant. The allowed Patent covers proprietary processes and compositions for silicon-enhanced, spheroidal graphite particles, designed to improve performance characteristics critical to lithium-ion battery anodes, including energy density, charge efficiency, and cycling stability, by incorporating silicon within the graphite particle architecture while leveraging graphite's structural stability and conductivity. Silicon is widely recognized as a key material in next-generation battery anodes due to its significantly higher theoretical energy storage capacity relative to conventional graphite.By distributing silicon within the graphite structure, the technology is intended to address two fundamental challenges associated with silicon-enhanced anodes: charge-induced volume expansion and solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) instability. Embedding silicon within a graphite matrix is expected to help buffer volumetric expansion during cycling, supporting improved mechanical integrity, while the surrounding graphite structure may reduce direct silicon-electrolyte interactions, contributing to enhanced cycling stability and battery longevity.In addition to commercial battery markets, the Company believes these performance attributes are relevant to a range of dual-use applications, including defence, aerospace, and other mission-critical systems, where energy density, durability, and operational reliability are essential. Advanced anode materials capable of maintaining stable performance under demanding operating conditions are increasingly viewed as strategically important across both civilian electrification and national security-related energy storage applications.Dean Hanisch, Chief Executive Officer of Focus Graphite, commented, "The allowance of this Patent represents the culmination of years of focused research and development. The underlying technology was shaped under the guidance of Dr. Joseph Doninger, whose deep technical insight and commitment to innovation were instrumental to its success, and we are grateful for the work he contributed. With the Patent now allowed, we are well positioned to move forward with broader testing and advancement of this technology as part of our downstream strategy."The allowance of this patent also aligns with growing North American and allied-nation priorities to establish secure, non-adversarial sources of battery materials, as governments and industry increasingly recognize the strategic risks associated with reliance on foreign-controlled supply chains. Graphite represents the largest material component of a lithium-ion battery by weight, and intellectual property protecting advanced anode materials is expected to play an important role in supporting domestic manufacturing, energy security, and defence-aligned and dual-use supply chains serving both civilian and national security priorities.Focus Graphite continues to advance its graphite assets and technology initiatives as part of its broader strategy to support North American battery, energy storage, electrification, and advanced industrial markets, while building a differentiated portfolio that spans resource development and value-added downstream innovation.Further updates will be provided as the Patent progresses to formal issuance and as the Company advances related technical and commercial initiatives.In Memoriam - Dr. Joseph. E. DoningerThe Company also notes with deep respect the recent passing of Dr. Joseph E. Doninger, who was one of the inventors of the allowed patent and a key contributor to the development of the underlying technology. Dr. Doninger served as Vice President of Manufacturing and Technology at Focus and played an instrumental role in shaping the Company's downstream and advanced materials strategy.Dr. Doninger earned his B.A. from the University of Illinois and completed his Ph.D. in chemical engineering at Northwestern University, beginning a distinguished career in industrial and applied materials science. He spent many years at IMC before serving as Senior Vice President of Research and Development at Superior Graphite, where he became widely recognized as a leading expert in the use of graphite for battery and advanced material applications. Over the course of his career, Dr. Doninger authored technical publications, held patents related to carbon-based materials, and addressed legislative and industry forums on energy and materials innovation.Later in his career, Dr. Doninger founded Dontech Global, continuing to advise companies and advance materials technologies until the time of his passing. His technical insight, leadership, and commitment to innovation were foundational to the silicon-enhanced graphite anode technology reflected in this patent. Focus Graphite acknowledges his lasting contributions and honours his legacy.About Focus Graphite Advanced Materials Inc.

MIAMI, FL, Jan 24, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Electronic Dance Music (EDM) recording artist, Sir Ivan, has co-written and recorded a peace song that will stand the test of time. Inspired by 20th-century anti-war rock legends such as John Lennon and Bob Dylan, Sir Ivan's new single, "Love Is The Piece," is a bold reminder to all generations that love remains the only path to peace and is found only in our hearts.Stream/Download On All Platforms"As the son of an Auschwitz survivor (see UnstoppableSiggi.com), my life has been deeply affected by the tragedy of having over 50 family members murdered during the Holocaust, simply because they were Jewish. My father's miraculous survival and my subsequent birth had a purpose. And that purpose was for me to one day write and sing a peace song that would help stop violence, bloodshed, and war between people. That song is ‘Love Is The Piece,'" declared Sir Ivan.While global conflicts and civil unrest escalate around the world, Sir Ivan delivers a timely and powerful message with his new single, "Love Is The Piece." Known internationally as Peaceman for his long-standing commitment to promoting peace through music, Sir Ivan brings an urgent, modern voice to the legacy of anti-war anthems.In "Love Is The Piece," Sir Ivan confronts one of humanity's greatest contradictions: despite extraordinary technological and scientific achievements, we remain unable to end war. "But the one thing that they can't seem to solve / Is the end of war - it's time to evolve," he sings, calling for a shift in human consciousness.The chorus delivers the heart of the message: "Love is the piece we need for peace." It's a direct call to unity that resonates strongly in today's fractured global climate.The lyrics emphasize that pure love transcends national, religious, and cultural boundaries."It goes beyond Christians, Muslims, and Jews... The answer's not blowin' in the wind / 'Cause our hearts hold the one solution within."Sir Ivan's dedication to peace-focused artistry has been highlighted in previous press coverage, including the world premiere of his award-winning "Get Together" music video and his global DJ initiative supporting creatives in crisis.His collaboration with acclaimed producer Markus Schulz - recently highlighted by We Rave You and EDM.com - further cemented his status as a meaningful voice in electronic music.With "Love Is The Piece," Sir Ivan continues his mission to inspire change through powerful lyrics. A series of forthcoming remixes from leading dance producers will help bring the message to clubs, festivals, and playlists worldwide.
