American Marconi Wireless News - British Columbia Court Declares The Helix Resources Joint Venture on The Gold Basin Property is Set Aside and is Unenforceable

Highlights:

• CANEX continues to aggressively advance exploration permitting and drilling plans at the Gold Basin Property, and will update shareholders on exploration timelines shortly

Over the past several months CANEX has been aggressively advancing permitting, exploration, and drill planning at the Company's Gold Basin Property in Arizona under the assertion that the Helix-JV was invalid and had no standing. The Court Order confirms that assertion and makes clear Helix has no rights to, or interest in, the Gold Basin Property. CANEX is working through final exploration permit obligations and working to line up a drill contractor and will update shareholders on exploration plans and timelines shortly.

The Petition against the Helix-JV was originally launched in October 2025 by Gold Basin Shareholders and was subsequently amended in July 2026 to name Gold Basin as the Petitioner. Gold Basin continued to advance the Petition in order to get a clear legal ruling on the Helix-JV and to mitigate any claim Helix might put forth regarding the Helix-JV or expenditures owed. Gold Basin has spent considerable time and financial resources bringing the Petition against Helix and looks forward to recovering legal costs from Helix.

Order From the Supreme Court of British Columbia

On October 9, 2026, a Petition was heard in the Supreme Court of British Columbia and an Order was issued by the Court declaring the Helix-JV agreement between Gold Basin Resources Corporation, Gold Basin Resources (Arizona) Inc., Helix Resources Limited, and Leichhardt Resources (QLD) Pty Ltd., dated February 3, 2026, is set aside and is unenforceable. The order also awards Gold Basin the cost of the petition from Helix.

CANEX is very pleased with the Courts ruling which upholds basic Canadian corporate law, TSX Venture Exchange rules, and protects shareholders rights.
