Collective Metals Inc Intersects Anomalous Radioactivity and Graphitic Reactivated Structure At Rocas Uranium Project Collective Metals Inc. announced that drilling activities have been completed at the Company’s Rocas Uranium Project located seventy-five kilometers southwest of the Key Lake Mine and Mill facilities along Highway 914. A total of 962 metres were completed across four reconnaissance drill holes at the Upper Prawn Lake, Southside, and Crab Lake target areas. Multiple intervals of anomalous radioactivity exceeding 300 counts per second were intersected in three of the four holes, totalling 1.5 metres of composite radioactivity. Geochemical assays are pending. The intersection of graphitic metasediments and associated sulphide mineralization in all four holes validates the Project’s electromagnetic signatures and confirms the accuracy of the current geophysical model. Significant graphitic sequences are confirmed in ROC-26-001 (0-76 m) and ROC-26-003 (36-84 m), with graphitic fault gouge also present in ROC-26-004. Brittle graphitic structures and clay gouge indicate structural reactivation and the conduits necessary for mineralizing fluids. Secondary hematite and clay alteration confirm hydrothermal processes. The winter drilling program totaled 962 meters across four reconnaissance drill holes. Three holes intersected anomalous radioactivity and all four contain reactivated graphitic structures. This inaugural Program tested three high-priority target areas identified by integrating 2025 ground gravity data, historical VTEM electromagnetics, and surface geological information and mineralization recorded during the 2025 prospecting program. The four completed drill holes encountered highly favorable geological settings for basement-hosted uranium deposits, including graphitic metasediments with combined intersection downhole thickness of 114 m across all four drillholes, including local fault zones featuring brittle reactivation and graphitic fault gouge, breccias, and cataclasites. Most notable is a 9-metre graphitic fault zone in ROC-26-003 (73-82 m) characterized by dark charcoal-gray cataclastic matrix with 5-10 cm graphitic fault gouge intervals and minor pyrite and pyrrhotite. Accompanying clay alteration and hydrothermal hematite observed locally. Key alteration includes clay replacement, chlorite, carbonate, and secondary hematite in and surrounding the above-mentioned graphitic fault zones, providing evidence of the hydrothermal processes required for uranium deposition. Multiple intervals of anomalous radioactivity, with notable intersections including 0.5 m up to 360 cps in ROC-26-003 (40.5-41.0 m), 0.5 m up to 320 cps in ROC-26-004 (71.0-71.5 m), and 0.5 m at peak 650 cps in ROC-26-001 (208.5-209.0 m) totalling 1.5 metres of composite anomalous radioactivity. Drill core samples have been collected systematically for whole-rock multi-element geochemical analysis and submitted to SRC Geoanalytical Laboratories in Saskatoon for U3O8 and Rare Earth Element assay. These results will be integrated with detailed logging and structural modelling to prioritize follow-up target areas. The Project is positioned near the margin of the Athabasca Basin, where bedrock is covered by minimal glacial till. The 2017 airborne EM surveys defined conductive trends sub-parallel to the Key Lake Road Shear Zone, suggesting favorable metasedimentary basement lithologies. The Company believes the combination of cross-cutting structures and significant surficial mineralization makes the Project highly prospective for shallow, high-grade basement-hosted uranium. Natural gamma radiation from rocks reported in this news release was measured in cps using a handheld RS-125 super-spectrometer and RS-120 super-scintillometer. Readers are cautioned that scintillometer readings are not uniformly or directly related to uranium grades of the rock sample measured and should be treated only as a preliminary indication of the presence of radioactive minerals. The RS-125 and RS-120 units supplied by Radiation Solutions Inc. have been calibrated on specially designed Test Pads by RSI. Standard maintains an internal QA/QC procedure for calibration and calculation of drift in radioactivity readings through three test pads containing known concentrations of radioactive minerals. Internal test pad radioactivity readings are known and regularly compared to readings measured by the handheld scintillometers for QA/QC purposes. Samples collected for analysis were sent to SRC Geoanalytical Laboratories in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan for preparation, processing, and ICP-MS or ICP-OES multi-element analysis using total and partial digestion and boron by fusion. Radioactive samples were tested using the ICP-MS2 uranium multi-element exploration package plus boron. Samples chosen for REE analysis were tested using the REE2 package by ICP-MS. All samples marked as radioactive upon arrival to the lab were also analyzed using the U3O8 assay (reported in wt.%). SRC is an ISO/IEC 17025:2005 and Standards Council of Canada certified analytical laboratory. Blanks, standard reference materials, and repeats were inserted into the sample stream at regular intervals in accordance with Standard’s quality assurance/quality control protocols. All samples passed internal QA/QC protocols and the results presented in this release are deemed complete, reliable, and repeatable. REE oxide conversion factors were verified using the following formulas: Convert REE (Rare Earth Element) ppm to REO (Rare Earth Oxide): REO % = (ppm /Atomic Weight of REE) * (Molecular Weight of REO /10,000). Element-to-oxide conversion factor: Molecular weight of the oxide /atomic weight of the element. For oxides with more than one metal cation, account for the number of cations in the formula. Historical data disclosed in this news release relating to sampling results from previous operators are historical in nature. Neither the Company nor a qualified person has yet verified this data and therefore investors should not place undue reliance on such data. The Company’s future exploration work may include verification of the data. The Company considers historical results to be relevant as an exploration guide and to assess the mineralization as well as economic potential of exploration projects. Any historical grab samples disclosed are selected samples and may not represent true underlying mineralization. Announcement • Apr 14

Collective Metals Inc Initiates Inaugural Drill Program At the Rocas Uranium Project in Southeast Athabasca Basin Collective Metals Inc. announced that drilling activities have commenced at the Company’s Rocas Uranium Project located 75 kilometers southwest of the Key Lake Mine and Mill facilities along Highway 914. Drilling activities began on March 16th, 2026. Drill holes have been designed to target shallow high-grade basement-hosted uranium mineralization across multiple high-priority target areas. The Program is anticipated to span approximately five weeks. The Phase I program will be comprised of approximately 1,200 to 1,500 metres of diamond drilling across six to eight drill holes. Targets are located at shallow depths less than two hundred metres below surface. For the first time in the Project’s history, the Company will drill test the 7.5-kilometre electromagnetic corridor on Rocas. This structural trend hosts historical surface mineralization with grab samples returning up to 0.50% U3O8 and recent high-grade rare earth element results up to 9.83% TREO and up to 0.41% U3O8 from 2025 prospecting. One diamond drill will focus on high-priority target areas along prospective VTEM corridors overlain by high-resolution ground gravity data with the proven exploration thesis of focusing on major conductor trends associated with cross-cutting faults and surficial radioactivity expressions. The Standard Uranium Ltd. team arrived on site on March 16th and diamond drilling on the first hole in history at Rocas is currently underway. The winter/spring program will be comprised of approximately 1,200 to 1,500 metres of drilling at high-priority target areas following completion of a ground gravity survey and multifaceted geophysical modeling last year. Rocas covers an area of 4,002 hectares across three mineral claims, located along highway 914 south of the Key Lake Mine and Mill facilities in the southeastern Athabasca Basin region. The Company believes the Project is highly prospective for the discovery of shallow, high-grade basement-hosted uranium mineralization. Positioned proximal to the margin of the Athabasca Basin, Rocas boasts shallow drill targets with bedrock under minimal glacial till cover. Historical mineralized outcrop grab samples along approximately 900 metres of strike length, returned values ranging from 587 ppm U (SN85073) up to 0.498 wt.% U3O8 (SN23901) and have never been drill tested. Targets were selected and prioritized through an iterative approach working in collaboration with Convolutions Geoscience Corporation. Prospecting and mapping across the Project in fall 2025 outlined multiple outcrops of favourable uranium and REE host-rocks, including radioactive metasediments, pegmatites, and structured orthogneiss. Structural measurements, assay results, and radioactivity mapping has further refined drill targets in the 2026 target areas. Targets are ranked and prioritized based on geophysical signature, geological/structural setting, proximity to surficial uranium occurrences of interest, historical lakebed geochemistry, and Standard’s recent prospecting and mapping campaign on behalf of the Company.
