NewsfileVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 2, 2026) - Borealis Mining Company Limited (TSXV: BOGO) (OTCQB: BORMF) (FSE: L4B0) ("Borealis" or the "Company") announces that it has filed on SEDAR+ the National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") technical report (the "Technical Report") supporting the previously announced Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") for its Sandman Gold project ("Sandman" or the "Project") located in Humboldt County, Nevada, USA. All dollar amounts in this press release are in United States dollars unless indicated otherwise.The Technical Report, titled "NI 43-101 Technical Report – Sandman Gold Property, Nevada, USA – Preliminary Economic Assessment", has an effective date of January 5, 2026 and is dated February 19, 2026. The Technical Report is available under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ and on its website.The Technical Report supports the results previously disclosed in the Company's February 19, 2026 news release and there are no material differences from those results.PEA Highlights (Post-Tax, Base Case at US$2,600/oz Gold)Net Present Value (6% discount rate): approximately US$203 millionInternal Rate of Return: approximately 105%Payback period: approximately 1.1 years from first productionUndiscounted cumulative cash flow: approximately US$290 millionAverage annual cash flow: approximately US$36 millionAll-in sustaining cost: approximately US$1,823 per ounceInitial capital: approximately US$36 millionTotal life-of-mine capital: approximately US$57 millionLife-of-mine gold production: approximately 340,000 ounces over ~9 yearsThe PEA outlines a conventional open-pit, heap-leach operation with a low strip ratio of approximately 2.2:1 and average annual production of approximately 38,000 ounces of gold.The economic analysis remains based on the 2021 Mineral Resource Estimate and the same mine plan, processing approach and metallurgical assumptions used in the prior study.Sensitivity to Gold PriceThe PEA demonstrates strong leverage to gold price. At a gold price of approximately US$4,550 per ounce, the Project generates:Net Present Value (6% discount rate) post-tax: approximately US$696 millionInternal Rate of Return post-tax: approximately 289%Strategic AdvantageThe study continues to highlight the potential to utilize Borealis' existing adsorption–desorption–recovery ("ADR") facility at the Borealis Mine to process loaded carbon from Sandman, providing a capital-efficient pathway to potential development.Qualified Person and Cautionary StatementThe scientific and technical information contained in this news release is based on, and fairly represents, information prepared by Jerod Eastman, President of DJ 6E Consulting LLC, an independent Qualified Person as defined under NI 43-101. Mr. Eastman is responsible for the entirety of the updated Technical Report and PEA and has reviewed and approved this news release.The PEA is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that the PEA will be realized. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.About BorealisBorealis Mining is a gold mining and exploration company focused on exploration and the resumption of production of the Borealis Gold Mine in Nevada and the advancement of its Sandman project also in Nevada. The Borealis Gold Mine is a fully permitted mine site, equipped with active heap leach pads, an ADR facility, and all necessary infrastructure to support a heap leach gold mining operation. In addition to the mine, the property, comprised of 815 unpatented mining claims of approximately 20 acres each totaling approximately 16,300 acres and one unpatented mill site claim of about five acres located in western Nevada, is highly prospective for additional high-sulfidation gold mineralization. The Sandman project, previously acquired through the acquisition of Gold Bull Resources Inc., is an advanced exploration project with a recently completed (2021) NI 43-101 compliant resource and a recent (2026) Preliminary Economic Assessment which indicates compelling economics, particularly relative to the base case assumptions used in the study. Borealis is led by a strong board and management team, many of whom have founded, managed, and sold highly successful mining and exploration companies.For further information, please contact:Kelly Malcolm

Borealis Reports Q2 Fiscal 2026 Financial and Operating ResultsApril 1, 2026 7:00 AM
NewsfileMining Ramp-Up Underway with 602,000 Tons Moved and 45,000 Tons CrushedFully Staffed Operations Team in Place; Strong Balance Sheet with US$21.1 Million in CashVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 1, 2026) - Borealis Mining Company Limited (TSXV: BOGO) (OTCQB: BORMF) (FSE: L4B0) (the "Company" or "Borealis") is pleased to report its unaudited, auditor-reviewed financial and operating results for the three and six months ended January 31, 2026. The Company's interim financial statements have been reviewed by its auditors in accordance with applicable professional standards, as required in connection with the Company's active short form base shelf prospectus.Kelly Malcolm, President and CEO of Borealis, commented: "Borealis has transitioned into active mining, with over 602,000 tons moved to date and crushing now underway. The operation is now in a steady rhythm with regular blasting, mineralization movement from multiple pits, and a fully staffed team in place. With a strong balance sheet, we are focused on maintaining consistency and building throughput as we continue ramping up operations."During the quarter, Borealis generated revenue from gold and silver production at the Borealis Mine in Nevada through continued processing of its historic stockpiles, strengthened its balance sheet, and continued advancing preparations for the restart of open-pit mining and blasting including contractor mobilization and its first blast at the end of the period.Financial Highlights(Unaudited, auditor-reviewed — three months ended January 31, 2026)Revenue of US$1.42 millionGross profit of US$0.62 millionNet loss of US$2.96 million, compared to US$2.87 million in the prior-year periodCash balance of US$21.13 million at quarter endWorking capital of approximately US$26.7 millionInventory balance of US$5.37 millionTotal assets of US$31.82 millionFor the six months ended January 31, 2026:Revenue of US$2.96 millionGross profit of US$1.51 millionNet loss of US$3.84 million, compared to US$5.14 million in the prior-year periodRevenue and gross profit reflect continued gold and silver production from historic stockpiles. The balance sheet strengthened materially during the period, driven by gold and silver sales, an equity financing, and warrant and option exercises.Operating HighlightsProcessing of historic oxide stockpiles continued during the quarter until early January, when the Company transitioned to a new crushing contractor and undertook rehabilitation and optimization of the crushing spread.Borealis has now assembled a fully staffed on-site operations team of approximately 30 personnel, covering all key functions required for active mining and processing, including mine management, engineering, metallurgy, geology, ADR operations, and site safety.As of March 30, 2026, the Company has moved approximately 602,000 tons of material from both the East Ridge pit and the historical Borealis pit. This material includes a combination of mineralized material, pre-stripping, and waste as part of the ongoing mine development and ramp-up.Production drilling and blasting are ongoing, with blasts occurring on a regular weekly to biweekly schedule depending on mining sequence.Crushing operations commenced later than initially anticipated due to the contractor transition and modifications to the crushing spread. Crushing is now underway, with approximately 45,000 tons of material crushed to date, and operations progressing well.Recent site photos of active mining, crushing, and stacking operations at the Borealis Mine are provided below.Figure 1 - Active pre-stripping and mining in the Borealis Main Pit adjacent to the heap leach pad and crusherTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:

https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/9344/290791_d8d74d9b243f29af_002full.jpgPermitting, Development, and ExplorationBorealis continues to advance the restart of open-pit mining and crushing operations, with ongoing engineering, contractor coordination, and workforce execution aligned with the operational ramp-up.The Company has made a production decision to restart open-pit mining and crushing operations at the Borealis Mine. This production decision is not based on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability. As a result, there is increased uncertainty and a higher degree of economic and technical risk associated with the restart of mining operations, including risks related to operating costs, recoveries, permitting, capital availability, and gold price assumptions. There is no certainty that the restart of mining operations will result in a profitable or economically viable operation.Exploration activities continued during the period, including mapping, target generation, and advancement of drill-ready targets across the Borealis Project, as well as at the Company's Sandman and Big Balds projects in Nevada. The Company also hired an additional exploration geologist and expects to provide an update on its planned exploration activities in the coming weeks. Borealis is also actively advancing development at its Sandman project and anticipates an update in the coming weeks.Balance Sheet and Capital PositionAs at January 31, 2026, Borealis held cash of US$21.13 million, compared to US$3.18 million at July 31, 2025. The increase reflects equity financings and warrant and option exercises completed during the period.The Company ended the quarter with strong working capital of approximately US$26.7 million, supporting continued operational ramp-up and development activities.Subsequent EventsSubsequent to January 31, 2026, Borealis has continued mining, crushing, stacking, and gold pouring activities at site, with operational ramp-up ongoing and supported by a fully staffed team.Borealis announced an updated preliminary economic assessment ("PEA") on its Sandman project on February 19, 2026, which showed highly compelling conceptual economics and a low pre-production capital cost relative to many other pre-development studies.No material environmental, safety, or operational incidents have been reported.Qualified PersonTechnical information contained in this press release has been reviewed and approved by Kelly Malcolm, P.Geo., a non-independent Qualified Person as defined under National Instrument 43-101.Borealis Mine The Borealis mine property, located close to the town of Hawthorne, NV, is fully permitted and equipped for present mine operations and future expansion, with existing open pits, heap leach pads, modern infrastructure, and a functional ADR facility which produces doré bars. The project has historically produced over 600,0001 ounces of gold from an open pit heap leach operation. It is an under-explored property and has not been drilled since 2011, aside from Borealis' efforts in 2024 and 2025. The property possesses high grade expansion potential with robust historical drilling results, along with a number of untested regional targets. 1Please see the Borealis Mine technical report entitled "NI 43-101 Technical Report, Project Status Report, Borealis Mine, Nevada, U.S.A." authored by Douglas Reid, P.Eng. of SRK Consulting, dated February 16, 2024. The report can be found on SEDAR+ or the Borealis website.The Borealis Project holds existing federal and state permits for mining and processing operations. However, certain permit modifications may be required for expanded production, and the timeline for such approvals is subject to regulatory review. The Company cannot guarantee the timing or success of any permit modifications that may be required for future expansions.About BorealisBorealis is a gold mining and exploration company focused on exploration and resumption of production of the Borealis Mine in Nevada and the advancement of its Sandman project also in Nevada.
