American Marconi Wireless News - Inventus Provides Operational Update as Trench 1 Bulk Sample Processing Underway and Drilling Continues at the Pardo "River of Gold" Project

Highlights

• Bulk sampling and drilling continue to advance in parallel, supporting grade validation, metallurgical performance, and near-surface continuity

Bulk Sampling Update

The Company confirms that processing of 5,000 tonnes of the 10,128-tonne Trench 1 bulk sample is currently underway at McEwen Inc.'s Stock Mill. This material was extracted under the Company's 50,000-tonne bulk sample permit, of which only 10,000 tonnes have been processed to date, and represents a key milestone intended to de-risk development assumptions, support grade validation and metallurgical performance, and generate operational cash flow.

In addition, the 10,000-tonneTrench 1 North bulk sample is advancing on time and within budget with waste material now blasted and removed, fully exposing the gold mineralization for extraction and processing. Drilling and blasting of the mineralized material is expected to commence shortly, after which material will be crushed on site, and transported for processing.

Drilling Update

Phase 2 drilling at Pardo continues to expand and define the flat-lying gold mineralization. Since the Company's January 22, 2026 news release, an additional seven (7) drill holes have been completed, further testing continuity in preparation for an initial resource estimate on the property.

Drilling continues to follow a staged approach, beginning with wider-spaced step-out drilling to confirm mineralization, followed by infill drilling for grade estimation and grade-control drilling in advance of future extraction. Assay results from 47 recently completed drill holes are pending and will be reported once received.

Wesley Whymark, President and Head of Exploration, comments:"With Trench 1 processing now underway and Trench 1 North advanced to the extraction phase, we are executing our bulk sampling strategy on time and in budget. At the same time, continued drilling is strengthening our understanding of grade continuity and will support an initial resource estimate for the property. These activities collectively represent an important step in advancing Pardo toward potential development and production."

Forward-looking information in this news release includes, but is not limited to, the Company's objectives, goals or future plans, statements, exploration results, potential mineralization, the estimation of mineral resources, exploration and mine development plans, timing of the commencement of operations and estimates of market conditions. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking information include, but are not limited to the failure to identify mineral resources, failure to convert estimated mineral resources to reserves, the inability to complete a feasibility study which recommends a production decision, the preliminary nature of metallurgical test results, delays in obtaining or failures to obtain required governmental, environmental or other project approvals, political risks, inability to fulfill the duty to accommodate First Nations and other indigenous peoples, uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future, changes in equity markets, inflation, changes in exchange rates, fluctuations in commodity prices, delays in the development of projects, capital and operating costs varying significantly from estimates and the other risks involved in the mineral exploration and development industry, and those risks set out in the Company's public documents filed on SEDAR+. Although the Company believes that the assumptions and factors used in preparing the forward-looking information in this news release are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on such information, which only applies as of the date of this news release, and no assurance can be given that such events will occur in the disclosed time frames or at all.
