Cascadia Announces C$4.1M Non-Brokered Private Placement

/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

VANCOUVER, BC, Dec. 1, 2025 /CNW/ - Cascadia Minerals Ltd. ("Cascadia") (TSXV: CAM) (OTCQB: CAMNF) is pleased to announce a non-brokered private placement(the "Offering") of up to $4,106,667 led by strategic investor Michael Gentile, one of Cascadia's largest shareholders.

The Offering will consist of the sale of:

a) 6,666,667 non-flow-through units (the "NFT Units") to be sold at a price of $0.15 per NFT Unit, for total gross proceeds of approximately $1,000,000; and

b) 13,333,333 critical minerals flow-through units (the "CFT Units") to be sold at a price of $0.233 per CFT Unit for total gross proceeds of approximately $3,106,667.

"With the success of our initial resource expansion drill campaign at the Carmacks Property this fall we will be undertaking a significantly expanded work program next year," stated Graham Downs, Cascadia's President and CEO, "This financing will fully fund a planned 15,000 m diamond drilling program in 2026, which will continue to test expansion of the core Carmacks Deposit, as well as evaluate numerous compelling regional targets. In addition, results from a further eight resource expansion holes drilled this fall are still outstanding, seven of which encountered sulphide mineralization."

Each NFT Unit will comprise one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole such common share purchase warrant, a "Warrant"). Each whole warrant shall be exercisable into one additional common share for thirty-six (36) months from closing at an exercise price of $0.20 per Warrant. Each CFT Unit will comprise one flow-through common share (a "CFT Share") and one-half of a Warrant.

Each CFT Share will qualify as a "flow-through share" within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) ("Tax Act"). The gross proceeds from the issuance and sale of the CFT Shares will be used for "Canadian exploration expenses" that qualify as "flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures", as both terms are defined in the Tax Act (the "Qualifying Expenditures"). The Qualifying Expenditures will be incurred on or before December 31, 2026, and will be renounced to the subscribers with an effective date no later than December 31, 2025, in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issuance of the CFT Shares.

The proceeds from the Offering will be used for critical minerals exploration primarily at the Carmacks Property. A portion of proceeds from the Offering may be used for exploration at Cascadia's Catch, Macks, Milner, and Idaho Creek properties.

The Offering is scheduled to close on or before December 22, 2025, and is subject to regulatory acceptance.

Finder's fees may be paid in accordance with TSX Venture Exchange policies. All securities issued as part of the Offering will be subject to a hold period in Canada of four months plus one day from the closing of the Offering.

About Cascadia

Cascadia's flagship asset is the 177 km² Carmacks Project, located within the Traditional Territory of the Little Salmon Carmacks and Selkirk First Nations, 35 km southeast of the past producing Minto Mine. The Carmacks Project is road-accessible, via a 13 km access road which extends from the government-maintained Freegold Road northwest of the town of Carmacks in central Yukon. The project has an existing 40-person camp, numerous roads throughout the property, and is 10 km from grid power.

The Carmacks Main Deposit has a Measured and Indicated Resource containing 651 Mlbs of copper and 302 koz of gold (36.3 million tonnes grading 0.81% copper, 0.26 g/t gold, 3.23 g/t silver and 0.01% molybdenum) or 1.07% copper equivalent, and an Inferred Resource containing 38 Mlbs of copper and 13 koz of gold (2.9 Mt grading 0.60% copper, 0.16 g/t gold, 2.34 g/t silver and 0.02% molybdenum). A 2023 preliminary economic assessment demonstrated positive economic potential, with a $230.4 M post-tax NPV_(5%) and 29% post-tax IRR at US$3.75/lb copper and US$1,800/oz gold. A second case evaluated at $4.25/lb copper and $2,000/oz gold returned a $330.1 M post-tax NPV_(5%) and 38% after-tax IRR.

Cascadia also has a pipeline of discovery stage copper-gold properties throughout the Yukon Stikine Terrane including its Catch Property, which hosts a copper-gold porphyry discovery where inaugural drill results returned broad intervals of mineralization (116.60 m of 0.31% copper with 0.30 g/t gold). High-grade copper and gold mineralization is found at surface over 5 km long trend, with grab samples returning peak values of 3.88% copper, 1,065 g/t gold, and 267 g/t silver.

QA/QC

The technical information in this news release has been approved by Andrew Carne, P.Eng., VP Corporate Development for Cascadia and a qualified person for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101.

The Mineral Resources and economic analysis disclosed here are referenced from the 2023 Technical Report on the Carmacks Project Preliminary Economic Assessment, authored by SGS Canada Inc. Pricing for the Carmacks Project PEA base case economic analysis was US $3.75/lb copper, US $1,800/oz gold, and US $22/oz silver at an exchange rate of $1:US$0.75. The results of the Carmacks preliminary economic assessment are preliminary in nature, it includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary economic assessment will be realized.

Results referenced in this release represent highlights only. Below detection values for gold, copper, silver and molybdenum have been encountered in drilling, soil and rock samples in these target areas. Readers are cautioned that grab samples are selective by nature and are not necessarily representative of the grade of mineralization on the property. Copper equivalent calculations use metal prices of US$4.00/lb for copper, US$2,500/oz for gold and US$30/oz for silver. Recovery factors of 82% for copper, 70% for gold, and 69% for silver were used, based on recovery projections from the 2023 PEA study.
