Berliner Boersenzeitung - Clean Air Metals Announces Management Changes

Dr. Djon was instrumental in the identification and drill validation of the Escape down-plunge target area. We thank Lionnel for his service over the past two years and wish him the best in his future endeavors.

In the interim, the Board will provide technical leadership to support upcoming geoscience initiatives, led by Dr. David Peck. Dr. Peck has been on the Clean Air Metals board since early 2024. He holds a Ph.D. in geology from Melbourne University in Australia and an M.Sc. from the University of Windsor, Canada, and is a registered Professional Geoscientist in Ontario and Manitoba. He is a recognized world expert in the genesis of and exploration for magmatic Platinum group and Nickel Copper Sulphide deposits.

The Company will provide an update on a permanent replacement following the assessment of all current financing options under evaluation, and subsequent announcement to move its 2026 strategic objectives forward (see January 12, 2026 News Release).

About Clean Air Metals

Clean Air Metals is a development and exploration company advancing its flagship, 100% owned Thunder Bay North Critical Minerals ("TBN") project, 40 km northeast of Thunder Bay, Ontario. The TBN project, accessible by road and next to established infrastructure, hosts two (2) deposits - the Current and Escape deposits, only 2.5 km apart. Together, the deposits host a 14.9 Mt indicated mineral resource grading 2.66 g/t (Pt+Pd), 0.40% Cu and 0.24% Ni (NI 43-101 PEA Technical Report, Thunder Bay North Project, Ontario, Canada SLR Consulting Canada Ltd, November 21, 2025,) with significant potential for expansion down-plunge.

One of the rare primary platinum resources outside of South Africa, the TBN project is in a stable and mining-friendly jurisdiction and benefits from longstanding relationships with local First Nations. The TBN project has the potential to develop into a secure source of rare platinum metals, as well as other critical metals such as copper, nickel, and cobalt, for the North American manufacturing sector. Ongoing concerns over future platinum supply are driving prices to historic highs, with obvious benefits for a future TBN mining operation. With its proven technical team, Clean Air Metals is committed to growing the resources at the TBN project and creating long-term value for shareholders.
