FOMO: New Discovery Extends A-Zone, Opening a New Corridor Toward High-Grade Gold

200 m Step-Out Confirms Western Expansion Potential

Formation Metals Inc. (CSE: FOMO) continues to deliver strong results from its flagship N2 Gold Project in Quebec’s prolific Abitibi Greenstone Belt. The latest drill results have successfully extended the A-Zone ~200 m west of the historical resource area, confirming the presence of broad gold mineralization in previously undrilled ground and opening a highly prospective corridor toward the high-grade RJ Zone.

The results stem from the first drill holes ever completed beyond the established western boundary of the A-Zone. Both holes intersected the same gold-bearing horizon responsible for several of the strongest results from FOMO’s earlier drilling programs, reinforcing confidence in the continuity and scale of the mineralized system.

Strong Gold Intercepts Beyond the Historical Resource Footprint

The newly reported intercepts include:

  • 31 m @ 1.05 g/t gold, including 12 m @ 1.89 g/t gold (N2-26-021)
  • 12.5 m @ 1.34 g/t gold, including 6.9 m @ 2.29 g/t gold (N2-26-022)

The significance of these results lies in their location. As illustrated by FOMO’s drill map, both holes were completed roughly 200 m west of the previously defined A-Zone boundary and successfully intersected mineralization along the same auriferous trend.

Note 1: Illustrated mineralization intercepts are not directly representative of true width. Based on interpreting the angle of intersection, the estimated true width of the mineralized lens generally corresponds to 87% of the intercepted core length. Note 2: Reported intervals are composited using a minimum cut-off grade of 0.2 g/t Au for higher-grade intervals.
A-Zone western extension confirms gold continuity beyond the historical resource, demonstrating strong lateral continuity and highlighting the expansion potential of the Northern Corridor.

According to the company’s geological interpretation, the principal interval in hole N2-26-021 directly correlates with the mineralized horizon previously intersected in:

  • 40.4 m @ 0.83 g/t gold (N2-25-004)
  • 24 m @ 1.37 g/t gold (N2-25-009)
  • 21.9 m @ 1.8 g/t gold (N2-25-006)

This correlation supports the continuation of the A-Zone mineralized system over a substantially larger area and demonstrates that gold mineralization remains open to the west.

CEO Deepak Varshney emphasized the significance of the step-out and the scale of the opportunity now opening between the A-Zone and the high-grade RJ Zone:

“This is a true discovery. We stepped out 200 metres west of the A-Zone in an area with no historic drilling and hit gold on the same horizon that gave us one of our strongest Phase 1 intercepts in N2-25-004. That tells us the system is laterally continuous in a direction we have barely tested. If we can infill the gap between N2-25-004 and these new holes, the impact on our maiden resource estimate could be material. What excites us most is where we go from here. These holes sit in the corridor between the A-Zone and the area directly above the high-grade RJ Zone. The RJ Zone has historical intercepts as high as 51 g/t Au, and we are already seeing gold in the space between them. This corridor has seen almost no historical drilling, and we intend to be the first to systematically test it.”

Building on an Impressive Series of Drill Results

The latest step-out holes add to an increasingly robust collection of broad gold intercepts reported from the A-Zone during the current drill program, including:

  • 61.1 m @ 0.95 g/t gold (N2-25-008)
  • 42.3 m @ 0.91 g/t gold (N2-25-005)
  • 40.4 m @ 0.83 g/t gold (N2-25-004)
  • 30.4 m @ 1.75 g/t gold (N2-25-012)
  • 21.9 m @ 1.8 g/t gold (N2-25-006)
  • 19.4 m @ 1.43 g/t gold (N2-25-010)
  • 24 m @ 1.37 g/t gold (N2-25-009)
  • 22.2 m @ 1.3 g/t gold (N2-25-007)
  • 31 m @ 1.05 g/t gold (N2-26-021)

The consistency of these intersections continues to support FOMO’s view that the A-Zone hosts a broad, laterally extensive gold system characterized by strong continuity and substantial widths. Historical drilling has already shown that ~84% of drill holes intersected gold mineralization, highlighting the remarkably continuous nature of the deposit.

Management believes the A-Zone may ultimately extend across as much as 8 km of strike length, while only a portion of that trend has been adequately drill tested to date.

6 historically mineralized zones at N2 host ~871,000 historical gold ounces and remain open along strike and at depth. Historical estimates are not current mineral resources and should not be relied upon.

A Strategic Corridor Between the A-Zone and RJ Zone

One of the most compelling aspects of the new discovery is its position within a largely unexplored corridor situated between the near-surface A-Zone and the high-grade RJ Zone.

The RJ Zone hosts a historical resource averaging 7.82 g/t gold and includes historical drill intercepts reaching up to 51 g/t gold, making it one of the most attractive targets on the property. Despite the proximity of the 2 zones, relatively little drilling has been completed in the intervening area.

FOMO’s latest step-out holes provide the first systematic evidence that gold mineralization may extend into this corridor. Continued success in this area could strengthen the geological connection between the 2 zones and contribute additional ounces ahead of the company’s planned maiden mineral resource estimate.

Comparison of the shallow A-Zone and high-grade RJ Zone highlights 2 distinct growth opportunities at N2. Historical estimates and drill results shown are historical in nature, are not current mineral resources and should not be relied upon.

Fully Funded for Aggressive Growth

FOMO enters this next phase of exploration from a position of considerable financial strength. The company currently reports ~30.7 million CAD in working capital and zero debt, providing full funding for its expanded 75,000 m drill program at N2.

More than 11,500 m of drilling across 36 holes have already been completed during 2026, with assay results continuing to arrive as exploration advances across multiple target areas.

The combination of strong financial resources, extensive untested strike length, multiple open mineralized zones and a growing pipeline of drill results positions FOMO for an active exploration year at N2.

Bottom Line

FOMO has delivered one of the most important exploration results of its current drill program by extending the A-Zone 200 m west into previously undrilled ground.

The new drill holes confirm the continuation of the principal gold-bearing horizon beyond the historical resource footprint and establish a promising exploration corridor toward the high-grade RJ Zone.

With broad gold intercepts, demonstrated continuity, substantial remaining strike potential and a fully funded 75,000 m drill program, the N2 Gold Project continues to advance as a compelling gold exploration story in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt.

FOMO's current program is designed to test the considerable gap between historical drilling coverage and the broader geological footprint of the N2 Property, where multiple mineralized zones remain open in all directions.

Disclaimer and Information on Forward Looking Statements: Rockstone, Zimtu Capital Corp. (“Zimtu“) and Formation Metals Inc. (“FOMO“; “the Company“) caution investors that any forward-looking information provided herein is not a guarantee of future results or performance, and that actual results may differ materially from those in forward-looking information as a result of various factors. The reader is referred to the FOMO‘s public filings for a more complete discussion of such risk factors and their potential effects which may be accessed through its documents filed on SEDAR at www.sedarplus.ca. All statements in this article, other than statements of historical fact, should be considered forward-looking statements. This article contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws, including but not limited to statements regarding: The interpretation and significance of recent drill results from the A-Zone and the western extension of the N2 Gold Project; the potential continuity, scale and expansion of mineralization beyond the historical resource footprint; the expectation that additional drilling may connect, extend or expand mineralized zones along strike and at depth; the potential significance of the corridor between the A-Zone and the high-grade RJ Zone; the expectation that future drilling may contribute additional ounces to a planned maiden mineral resource estimate; the Company’s ability to execute and complete its fully funded 75,000 m drill program; statements regarding district-scale exploration potential, near-surface mineralization and conceptual open-pit development scenarios; and the potential for further discoveries across the broader N2 property. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations, assumptions and beliefs as of the date of publication and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Exploration and Geological Risk: Mineral exploration is inherently speculative and involves significant risk. While recent drilling has demonstrated encouraging continuity within the A-Zone, there can be no assurance that additional drilling will confirm the extent, continuity, geometry or grade of mineralization currently interpreted. Future drill holes may return lower grades, narrower intervals or different geological characteristics than anticipated. Geological models and interpretations may change materially as additional data become available. A-Zone and RJ Corridor Risk: The Company’s interpretation that the newly discovered western extension may connect toward the RJ corridor remains conceptual and subject to further drilling. There is no assurance that mineralization between the A-Zone and RJ Zone will prove continuous, economically significant or supportive of future resource growth. Historical high-grade intercepts within the RJ Zone may not be representative of future drilling results. Historical Resource Risk: The N2 Project contains historical resource estimates and historical exploration data that are non-current and not compliant with current NI 43-101 standards. These historical estimates should not be relied upon as current mineral resources. A qualified person has not completed sufficient work to classify the historical estimates as current resources and there is no assurance that future technical work will validate, reproduce or convert any portion of the historical estimates into current mineral resources. Sampling and Assay Risk: Assay results are subject to sampling, analytical and laboratory uncertainties. Reported drill intervals may not represent true widths and interpretations may change as additional drilling, modeling and technical analysis are completed. Delays in laboratory turnaround times may also impact the timing of future results. Mineral Resource Estimate Risk: The Company has indicated its intention to complete a maiden mineral resource estimate. Any future resource estimate will depend on numerous technical assumptions, including geological continuity, cut-off grades, density assumptions, metallurgical recovery assumptions and geostatistical modeling inputs. There is no assurance that a future mineral resource estimate will meet current expectations regarding tonnage, grade or contained ounces. Conceptual Development Risk: References to near-surface mineralization, bulk-tonnage potential and conceptual open-pit development scenarios are speculative in nature. Economic viability has not been demonstrated. Future development considerations will depend on numerous factors, including gold prices, metallurgical performance, geotechnical conditions, permitting requirements, environmental considerations, capital costs and operating costs. Financing and Market Risk: While the Company’s current exploration program is described as fully funded, additional exploration, technical studies and potential development activities may require future financing. There is no assurance that future capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all. The Company’s share price may also be affected by exploration results, commodity prices, market conditions, sector sentiment, liquidity constraints and broader economic developments. Operational, Environmental and Regulatory Risk: Exploration activities may be affected by weather conditions, contractor performance, labor availability, equipment availability, technical challenges, permitting requirements or unforeseen operational delays. Exploration and potential future development activities remain subject to environmental regulations, governmental approvals and regulatory requirements that may impact timelines, costs or project scope. Commodity Price Risk: The attractiveness and potential economics of the N2 Gold Project are sensitive to fluctuations in gold prices and broader macroeconomic conditions, which are inherently volatile and beyond the Company’s control. Cautionary Note to Readers: Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated due to the risks and uncertainties described above and in the Company’s public disclosure filings. Mineralization hosted on nearby properties or within similar geological environments is not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the Company’s properties. Historical exploration results and historical resource estimates referenced in this article are historical in nature and should not be relied upon as current mineral resources.
