- Investigation has uncovered a potential conspiracy to coordinate the undisclosed acquisition and voting of TNR Gold shares.
- TNR Gold believes material information regarding these coordinated activities may have been withheld from shareholders, contrary to applicable securities laws.
- TNR Gold's investigation remains ongoing.
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 16, 2026) - TNR Gold Corp. (TSXV: TNR) ("TNR Gold", "TNR" or the "Company") provides the following update regarding its investigation into the actions of Eucalyptus Resources Opportunities Fund 1, LP ("Eucalyptus"), led by Jon Christian "JC" Evensen, in connection with the Company's upcoming annual general and special meeting of shareholders (the "Meeting") scheduled to take place on September 22, 2026.
As previously announced, TNR Gold has commenced an investigation regarding Eucalyptus' coordination with joint actors. The Company's ongoing investigation has uncovered information suggesting a potential conspiracy among Eucalyptus and certain joint actors to coordinate their undisclosed acquisition and voting of TNR shares in breach of applicable securities laws. Based on information obtained to date, it appears that the nature and extent of such coordination may go well beyond what Eucalyptus has publicly disclosed, involving a number of joint actors that the Company believes are implementing a scheme to acquire and vote TNR shares in order to seize control of the Company's board of directors without making legally required disclosure.
Despite TNR's requests to Eucalyptus and its suspected joint actors to act transparently in accordance with securities laws, no corrective disclosure has been made as of the date of this announcement. The Company has significant concerns that shareholders may have been deprived of disclosure material to their voting decisions and is evaluating all options to protect the interests of shareholders and the integrity of the voting process at the Meeting.
TNR's investigation into these matters is ongoing, and the Company will provide further updates as appropriate.

ABOUT TNR GOLD CORP.
TNR Gold Corp. is working to become the green energy metals royalty and gold company.
Our business model provides a unique entry point in the creation of supply chains for critical materials like energy metals that are powering the energy rEVolution, and the gold industry that is providing a hedge for this stage of the economic cycle.
Our portfolio provides a unique combination of assets with exposure to multiple aspects of the mining cycle: the power of blue-sky discovery and important partnerships with industry leaders as operators on the projects that will potentially generate royalty cashflows to contribute significant value for our shareholders.
Over the past thirty years, TNR, through its lead generator business model, has been successful in generating high-quality global exploration projects. With the Company's expertise, resources and industry network, the potential of the Mariana Lithium Project and Los Azules Copper Project in Argentina, among many others, have been recognized.
TNR holds a 1.5% NSR royalty on the Mariana Lithium Project in Argentina, of which 0.15% of such NSR royalty is held on behalf of a shareholder of the Company. Ganfeng Lithium's subsidiary, Litio Minera Argentina ("LMA"), has the right to repurchase 1.0% of the NSR royalty on the Mariana Project, of which 0.9% is the Company's NSR royalty interest. The Company would receive CAN$900,000, and its shareholder would receive CAN$100,000 on the repurchase by LMA, resulting in TNR holding a 0.45% NSR royalty and its shareholder holding a 0.05% NSR royalty.
The Mariana Lithium Project is 100% owned by Ganfeng Lithium. The Mariana Lithium Project has been approved by the Argentina provincial government of Salta for an environmental impact report. Ganfeng Lithium officially inaugurated Mariana Lithium's start of production at a 20,000 tons-per-annum lithium chloride plant on February 12, 2025.
TNR Gold also holds a 0.4% NSR royalty on the Los Azules Copper Project, of which 0.04% of the 0.4% NSR royalty is held on behalf of a shareholder of the Company. The Los Azules Copper Project is being developed by McEwen Inc.
TNR also holds a 7% NPR on the Batidero I and II properties of the Josemaria Project that is being developed by the joint venture between Lundin Mining and BHP.
TNR provides significant exposure to gold through its 90% holding in the Shotgun Gold porphyry project in Alaska. The project is located in Southwestern Alaska near the Donlin Gold project, which is being developed by Novagold Resources. The Company's strategy with the Shotgun Gold Project is to attract a joint venture partnership with a major gold mining company. The Company is actively introducing the project to interested parties.
At its core, TNR provides a wide scope of exposure to gold, copper, silver and lithium through its holdings in Alaska (the Shotgun Gold porphyry project) and royalty holdings in Argentina (the Mariana Lithium project, the Los Azules Copper Project and the Batidero I & II properties of the Josemaria Project), and is committed to the continued generation of in-demand projects, while diversifying its markets and building shareholder value.
