T2 Metals Samples from Shanghai Project, Yukon, Deliver High Grade Silver & Gold Results

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 20, 2026) - T2 Metals Corp. (TSXV: TWO) (OTCQB: TWOSF) (WKN: A3DVMD) ("T2 Metals" or the "Company") is pleased to announce high-grade silver and gold (Goldkurs) results from a recent grab sampling program conducted at the Shanghai mineral project ("Shanghai") in the Mayo Mining District, Yukon.

Samples are the first reported by the Company from Shanghai (see Figure 1) and were taken by T2 Metals CEO Mark Saxon as part of the due diligence process for acquisition during Q4 2025 (see Figure 2). Rock grab samples were taken from historical mine dumps that lie at the entrance to the Shanghai Silver Mine, which was developed during the 1960's by Silver Titan Mines Ltd. Close to 800 m of underground development is present, in addition to numerous trenches that lie up dip from the underground workings along more than 1 km of strike.

Highlights from the Sampling Program Include:

• 2255101: 195 g/t Silver (Ag) and 2.71 g/t Gold (Au)

Eleven rock samples were collected from the Shanghai Silver Mine dumps to represent both vein and wall rock material. Gold values ranged from 0.02 to 2.71 g/t and averaged 1.01 g/t; silver values ranged from 0.5 to 451 g/t and averaged 128 g/t; copper values ranged from 2.2 to 1070 ppm and averaged 192 ppm; zinc ranged from 0.052% to 19.13% and averaged 4.91%. Anomalous accessory elements commonly associated with Intrusion-Related Gold Systems (IRGS) including antimony, arsenic and mercury were encountered. Samples were collected over a 200 m x 200 m area, none of which were in-situ. See Table 1 for more information.

Mark Saxon, President and CEO of T2 Metals Corp, commented, "Few samples from the Shanghai Silver Mine have ever been reported using modern assay methods, so it is excellent to see these high-grade gold and silver values. It is a key validation of the project's prospectivity, particularly considering the paucity of past exploration. The Shanghai Silver Mine is an excellent Keno Hill style target (Target Aktie), with over 1km of veining known from historic trenching. These results, combined with our recent reconnaissance mapping and more widespread sampling, will be integrated into a structural model as we finalize targets for the 2026 summer season."

The Shanghai Silver Mine is hosted by the Keno Hill Quartzite immediately below the regionally extensive Robert Service Thrust fault. It lies on the northern limb of the McQuesten Antiform, presenting a mirror image of the Keno Hill camp found on the southern limb of this antiform (see Figure 3). Shanghai lies midway between the Keno Hill silver mine of Hecla Mining and the Haldane silver mineral project of Silver North Resources with a similar geological setting.

The samples were collected from dumps historically extracted from the Shanghai Silver Mine, characterized by quartz-carbonate veining with associated galena, sphalerite, and tetrahedrite (Figure 4). The results validate historical reports of high-grade mineralization at Shanghai and underscore the project's potential within the prolific Tombstone Gold Belt. The Shanghai mineral project is situated in a geological setting analogous to several major deposits in the district. The style of mineralization and geochemical fingerprint is consistent with IRGS and associated polymetallic veins.

The Shanghai mineral project holds a Class 3 permit that enables drilling, road construction and installation of a camp with no additional permission required. The historical Shanghai Silver Mine had road access from the Eagle Mine Road at the time of production. Despite its proximity to gold and silver deposits and mines, the Shanghai project has never been drilled.

About the Historical Shanghai Silver Mine

Shanghai sits within the northwest portion of the Yukon's Tombstone Gold Belt, one of North America's most active and gold-endowed mining districts, and home to the famous Klondike goldfield. Recent exploration of the Tombstone Gold Belt by Snowline Gold Corp. (Valley project), Sitka Gold Corp. (RC Gold project) and Banyan Gold Corp. (AurMac project) have highlighted the potential for major new gold discoveries and value creation.

The Shanghai Silver Mine is hosted by the Keno Hill Quartzite immediately below the regionally extensive Robert Service Thrust fault. It lies on the northern limb of the McQuesten Antiform, presenting a mirror image of the Keno Hill camp found on the southern limb of this antiform.

During the 1960's the Shanghai Silver Mine was explored by Silver Titan Mines Ltd with close to 800 m of underground development. Assays reported from underground workings that followed veins included 9.1 m @ 1182.8 g/t Ag, 8.2% Pb and 7.2% Zn (average width of 1.5 m) (Yukon Minfile 105M 028) ^*1.

About the Tombstone Gold Belt

The Tombstone Gold Belt, a component of the larger Tintina Gold Province, is a highly prospective metallogenic province in the Yukon, with a range of well-known and emerging gold discoveries. The belt is characterized by a suite of mid-Cretaceous, reduced, felsic intrusions known as the Tombstone Plutonic Suite. These intrusive bodies and the surrounding host rocks have created conditions for the formation of numerous Reduced Intrusion-Related Gold Systems (RIRGS). Exploration efforts have identified multiple mineralized corridors with gold hosted in sheeted quartz veins and disseminated mineralization within both the intrusive bodies and the hornfelsed country rocks.

Gold mineralization in the Tombstone Gold Belt is typically associated with a distinctive multi-element signature that includes bismuth, tellurium, and tungsten, along with arsenic and antimony. Gold-bearing fluids exsolved from cooling intrusions and preferentially deposited gold in brittle, structurally controlled environments. Both high-grade, structurally-controlled vein systems and lower-grade, bulk-tonnage deposits are known. The region hosts numerous significant deposits and is the site of recent discoveries by companies such as Snowline Gold Corp., Banyan Gold Corp. and Sitka Gold Corp.
