Heraldo de Madrid - Arras Minerals Provides Update on Elemes Drill Program - Kazakhstan

The current Phase 1 core drilling program, totaling approximately 4,000 metres of diamond drilling, has primarily targeted key areas at Berezski Central, Berezski East, Q-Gorka, and K-Ozek. These targets were identified following two seasons of comprehensive exploration work at the Elemes Project, including airborne magnetic and Pole-Dipole Induced Polarization geophysical surveys, as well as extensive soil sampling and mapping. In addition, select historical drill holes from the Berezski East and Q-Gorka targets were re-assayed (refer to Arras news releases dated January 8 and 22, 2024).

While initial assay results from the September and October drilling have taken much longer than anticipated to be processed and verified, the Company now expects to announce these results by early January 2025. Subsequent assay results will be released as they become available.

"We are very pleased with the progress of the core drilling program at Elemes over the past three months," commented Tim Barry, CEO of Arras Minerals. "This Phase 1 campaign is testing new target areas developed through our recent fieldwork, and we are encouraged by the early indications we've seen so far that Elemes is indeed a large epithermal-porphyry system that has yet to be explored with modern techniques."

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors concerning estimates of Measured, Indicated, and Inferred Resources: This press release uses the terms "measured resources", "indicated resources", and "inferred resources" which are defined in, and required to be disclosed by, NI 43-101. The Company advises U.S. investors that these terms are not recognized by the SEC. The estimation of measured, indicated and inferred resources involves greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic feasibility than the estimation of proven and probable reserves. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that measured and indicated mineral resources will be converted into reserves. The estimation of inferred resources involves far greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic viability than the estimation of other categories of resources. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that estimates of inferred mineral resources exist, are economically minable, or will be upgraded into measured or indicated mineral resources. Under Canadian securities laws, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies.

Disclosure of "contained ounces" in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations, however the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute "reserves" by SEC standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures. Accordingly, the information contained in this press release may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies that are not subject NI 43-101.
