Teako Minerals Concludes Regional Summer Program and Provides Private Placement Update

Vancouver, November 19, 2024 - Teako Minerals Corp. (CSE: TMIN) (the "Company" or "Teako") is pleased to announce that it has successfully concluded its regional summer exploration program (the "Regional Program") across Norway, reviewing a total of eighteen (18) projects, through mapping, soil and rock chip sampling. In addition, the Company is pleased to announce that it has extended its previously announced non-brokered private placement of up to 11,111,111 Common shares of the Company ("Common Shares") for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $1,000,000 (the "Offering"). Following the extension, the second and final tranche of the Offering will remain open until approximately December 26, 2024.

Highlights:

• Teako concludes its regional summer exploration program. A total of 2,490 soil samples, 641 rock chip samples were collected from 18 projects, along with 34 additional water samples that were collected for copper isotope studies.
• The Company is in the process of confirming the final batches of samples to be sent to the laboratory.
• Site visits undertaken on the Løkken property, acquired from Capella Minerals (TSXV: CMIL), and historical core review at NGU completed in preparation for the anticipated winter 2024/2025 drill program.
• Important exhalative marker beds were successfully mapped across the Lomunda (Løkken) project, suggesting that the prospective horizons may extend further than previously recognized.
• Multiple targets have been identified across the Fe-Ti-P-REE projects in the Sandefjord Program.
• The Eiker program identified multiple potential base-metal targets. Additionally, the spatially extensive and historically high-grade gold-copper-zinc-cobalt Bergsgruva tailings dump on the Hellemyr project was sampled and analyzed with pXRF during this field season with positive preliminary findings.

The Regional Program

The Regional Program (Figure 1) generally covered mapping, soil sampling, and rock chip sampling on eighteen (18) projects to assist with the confirmation of mineralisation and test hypotheses developed during the 2023/2024 desk study. A total of 2,490 soil samples, 641 rock chip samples, and 34 additional water samples for copper isotope studies (Table 1) have been collected. The Company is in the process of confirming the final batches of samples to be sent to the laboratory.

The main programs that were undertaken included i) Sandefjord Program (see press release dated May 21, 2024) on the Hulderdalen, Moelva, Kiste and Kvelde projects ii) the Eiker Program (see press release dated June 25, 2024) on the Hellemyr and Merkedammen projects and iii) the LVT Program (see press release dated July 9, 2024) on the Lomunda (since then renamed to Løkken), Venna and Tydalen projects. Further phase one prospecting has been undertaken on a range of other projects.

The Regional Program commenced in May 2024 and concluded in late September 2024. Following the program conclusion, the company's in-house geologists have concentrated in follow-up work, data interpretation and compilation, further review, and desktop work.

Several site visits have also been conducted across the Company's project portfolio, with a particular focus on the Løkken property, recently acquired from Capella Minerals (TSXV: CMIL) (see press release dated August 19, 2024), and with historical drill core logging and review in the NGU core storage facility in preparation for the anticipated drill program in the winter 2024/2025.

The Sandefjord Program

Samples from the Sandefjord Program were analyzed in-house using Teako's automated GERDA pXRF system, yielding several positive results. The field crew collected 1,057 soil geochemistry samples and 145 prospecting samples within the program. Multiple targets have been identified across the Fe-Ti-P-REE projects in the Sandefjord Program. These targets demonstrate significant geological, geophysical, and geochemical similarities to the novel 'Kodal' deposit, highlighting their potential for further exploration.

The Eiker Program

Teako set three primary objectives for the Eiker Program: i) verify historical grades in small, underdeveloped workings, ii) identify new targets overlooked by previous operators, and iii) Assess the potential of the historically high-grade tailings dump as an alternative resource. All three objectives were successfully achieved by Teako's field team. Several high-grade samples confirmed historically reported grades.

The field crew collected 638 soil geochemistry samples and 96 prospecting samples within the program from previously unexplored areas following regionally prospective geophysical trends. These samples, analyzed in-house using the GERDA pXRF system, identified multiple potential base-metal targets. Additionally, the spatially extensive and historically high-grade gold-copper-zinc-cobalt Bergsgruva tailings dump on the Hellemyr project was sampled and analyzed with pXRF during this field season with positive preliminary findings.

The LVT Program

As the summer progressed, Teako's field team shifted focus to central Norway, where work was conducted on the Lomunda (Løkken), Venna, and Tydalen volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) projects. Three exploration programs were completed across these projects, encompassing phase one mapping and sampling, an extensive soil geochemistry campaign, and a lithogeochemical (LGC) sampling initiative. The field team collected a total of 795 soil geochemistry samples and 351 prospecting samples.

At Venna and Tydalen, the exploration efforts were primarily prospect-sample focused, confirming mineralization and identifying additional areas warranting further investigation.

The Lomunda (Løkken) claim received the greatest attention, as initial desk studies identified it as the most prospective project. This claim was divided into three target areas for detailed field analyses. During these efforts, important exhalative marker beds were successfully mapped across the project, suggesting that the prospective horizons may extend further than previously recognized.

Private Placement Extension

The Company has extended its previously announced non-brokered private placement of up to 11,111,111 Common shares of the Company ("Common Shares") for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $1,000,000 (the "Offering"). As announced on August 29, 2024, Teako closed the first tranche of the Offering, issuing 4,545,433 Common Shares for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $409,090. Following the extension, the second and final tranche of the Offering will remain open until approximately December 26, 2024.

In connection with the Offering, the Company may pay finder's fees in cash or securities or a combination of both, as permitted by the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange and applicable securities laws. All Common Shares issued under the Offering will be subject to a four-month and one-day statutory hold period. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to provide funding for drilling, working capital, and general corporate purposes.

The Common Shares offered have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or any applicable state securities laws and may not be offered or sold to, or for the account or benefit of, persons in the United States or "U.S. persons," as such term is defined in Regulation S promulgated under the U.S. Securities Act, absent registration or an exemption from such registration requirements.
