(TSX-V: WINS, FRA: 9HR0) reports that a downhole electromagnetic (‘DHEM’) survey completed after the recent drill program at the Portsoy Nickel – Copper – Cobalt (Ni-Cu-Co) Project in northeast Scotland, has identified a strong conductor, with characteristics of a massive sulphide body. The strong conductor is close to the 460m long drill hole RBD030 at the South Zone of the Rodburn Target (see Company news release dated <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=-NSgEf-rIuv4pVTB9pjQAp4pCIerUgPcQziKx5NFtIoiknfM3tAqrioGbazOwK6BuRE5sW7NLO5PCtqkpvac6KLjR7hFNMx8bGB8yFqhZm99mE4C9GMQv00-9Gji-cnM_P1BZcZqEFgLTFb97VEIL26Vuryohn2yimZQ-Ve4Lp1TYpR2FHbEAw6_yWsBxE8otaHWxB-4jwJjIirROiej8bfi928NTpL796tZC5SW0142GmBxJqyuPfrqa9ThcGRq" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="May 26, 2026">May 26, 2026</a>).  The north-northwest plunging conductor is modelled as being over 350m long by 50m wide.  It is above, and ~100m east of, the end of RBD030. The conductor remains open to depth (refer to Map 1 <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=VnMVccx1fsYtLKcTPpOf9PwLLBIsyAIUPMXoLhCh0wx-QbH91we0jirOqjA8aPbEXYlVnZ8yXkqBMSGKvEdZp4M4MoOPCKO7Q1b0XSBfI42mBpIsm27rne_TgFI7K4OL-_lZjn_OQ2FUqLlKAPG8CYEbWU5raVX_-ij_ihMm44s=" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="here">here</a>). DHEM is an exploration tool used extensively in exploration for massive sulphide deposits.  The Company engaged Mr. Alan King of Geoscience North Ltd. of Sudbury, Ontario to model the DHEM data. Mr. King is widely known in the field of DHEM surveying, and previously held the roles of Chief Geophysicist of INCO (2000 – 2007) and Chief Geophysicist Global Exploration for Vale (2009 – 2013). Previous drilling at the South Zone encountered strong Ni-Cu-Co massive sulphide mineralization extending from ~20m below surface to a vertical depth of approximately 185m below surface, with results including: <table style="border-collapse: collapse;

Caution Regarding Forward Looking Statements Certain of the statements made and information contained in this press release may constitute forward-looking information and forward-looking statements (collectively, “forward-looking statements”) within the meaning of applicable securities laws, including statements regarding the downhole electromagnetic survey conducted at the Portsoy Project, the size, orientation, location and conductivity of the modelled conductor, the potential association of the conductor with massive sulphide mineralization, and the timing, scope, completion and results of the 2026 field program. The forward-looking statements in this press release reflect the current expectations, assumptions or beliefs of the Company based upon information currently available to the Company. With respect to forward-looking statements contained in this press release, assumptions have been made regarding, among other things, the reliability of information prepared and/or published by third parties that are referenced in this press release or was otherwise relied upon by the Company in preparing this press release.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include but are not limited to: uncertainty in the interpretation and modelling of DHEM conductors; the possibility that conductors may not be associated with economic nickel, copper or cobalt mineralization; the risk that future drilling may not intersect massive sulphide mineralization or mineralization comparable to historical results; uncertainty regarding continuity, grade, true thickness and extent of mineralization; delays or challenges in planning, permitting, financing or completing exploration; access, weather, logistical, contractor and community-related risks in Scotland; changes in commodity prices, exchange rates, capital markets, laws or government policy; risks inherent in early-stage mineral exploration; and the other risks described in the Company’s public disclosure record. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements due to the inherent uncertainty thereof. Such statements relate to future events and expectations and, as such, involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties.
