Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 12, 2026) - RED METAL RESOURCES LTD. (CSE: RMES) (OTC: RMESF) (FSE: I660) ("Red Metal" or the "Company") is pleased to report assay results for 21 rock samples collected by the Company from the underground workings and run-of-mine ("ROM") ore stockpiles at the Farellon Project, part of its Carrizal Copper-Gold-Cobalt Property ("Carrizal" or the "Property") near Vallenar, Chile. The samples were collected between July and October 2026 by the Company's in-country field technician during routine site visits to monitor the operations of operator, Minera KMT SpA ("KMT").

Highlights

• Up to 6.8% Copper on Level 7: A sulphide vein grab sample returned the highest copper grade of the program.
• Level 9 Sulphides show increasing gold: Face muck from Level 9 returned up to 0.94 g/t gold with copper.
• Best Level 9 Result to Date: The latest Level 9 face sample returned 6.05% copper in IOCG-style sulphides.

Company Sampling Program

As part of its oversight of KMT's operations, Red Metal collects rock samples from the active workings and ore stockpiles during bi-weekly site visits by Red Metal's field technician. The program provides the Company with its own copper, gold and silver data to compare against the grades reported by the Empresa Nacional de Minería ("ENAMI") on its settlements for delivered ore, and to document the mineralization as development advances.

Results have now been received for 21 samples: ten from Level 7, and eleven from the newly developed Level 9. Samples include grab samples from the vein, the working face and the ore stockpiles. All results are presented in Table 1.

Red Metal Resources President and CEO, Caitlin Jeffs, P.Geo., stated, "Our own sampling gives us a direct check on the grades KMT is delivering to ENAMI. Level 9 is now in fresh sulphide below the oxide zone, with chalcopyrite and specular hematite typical of the IOCG veins of the Carrizal Alto district, and our most recent samples are the best we have seen from the level. We will continue sampling every pile and face as KMT ramps up production."

Notes: Results as reported from Laboratorio Químico San Lorenzo in Vallenar. Soluble copper is the acid-soluble (oxide) fraction and insoluble copper the acid-insoluble (sulphide) fraction. Grab, muck and stockpile samples are selective and are not representative of the grade of the mineralization or of delivered ore.

Level 7 Results

The highest result of the program came from sample FTN-038-L7, a grab sample of a sulphide vein exposed on Level 7 of the north tunnel, which returned 6.8% total copper, 0.80 g/t gold and 14 g/t silver. Five grab samples of the Level 7 ore stockpile on surface (FTN-039 to FTN-043) returned between 2.13% and 4.83% total copper and 0.18 to 0.84 g/t gold.

Most of the copper in the Level 7 samples is insoluble, sulphide, copper which is what ENAMI calculates grade on. Gold and copper are closely correlated across the ten Level 7 samples.

Level 9 Results

Two face muck samples of freshly blasted material from the Level 9 heading returned 2.46% total copper, 0.28 g/t gold and 10 g/t silver and 1.49% total copper, 0.94 g/t gold and 7 g/t silver including the highest grade gold result in the mine so far.

Gold on Level 9 ranges from 0.16 to 0.94 g/t and silver from 3 to 28 g/t. Silver correlates closely with copper across all 21 samples.

Sampling, Analysis and QA/QC

Samples were collected by the Company's field technician, bagged and labelled on site, photographed, and delivered by the field technician to Laboratorio Químico San Lorenzo Ltda. in Vallenar, Chile, a commercial laboratory independent of the Company, KMT and ENAMI. Samples were analysed for total copper, acid-soluble copper and acid-insoluble copper, gold and silver, and density was determined. The Company did not insert certified reference materials, blanks or field duplicates into the sample stream for these samples, and relied on the laboratory's internal quality control.

Qualified Person

The technical content of this news release has been reviewed and approved by Caitlin Jeffs, P.Geo., President and CEO of the Company and a Qualified Person ("QP") as defined in National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. Ms. Jeffs is not independent of the Company. Data verification consisted of checking the reported results against the original laboratory certificates, and the sample locations and descriptions against the field technician's site reports and sample photographs. The QP did not collect or witness the collection of the samples.

Cautionary Statement

Mining at the Farellon 1/8 concession is carried out by the lessee, Minera KMT SpA, under a lease and royalty arrangement. Red Metal, through its subsidiary Minera Polymet SpA, is the lessor and royalty holder and is not the operator of the mining activities. The sample results reported in this news release are from grab, muck and stockpile samples collected by the Company to monitor the operation. Such samples are selective by nature and are not necessarily representative of the mineralization on the Property or of the grade of ore delivered to ENAMI. Stockpile composites are small samples of large volumes of material. Mineral identifications are visual observations and have not been confirmed by mineralogical or petrographic study. Tonnages and development metres are field estimates and have not been surveyed or weighed. The mining is not based on a feasibility study, preliminary feasibility study or other technical study demonstrating economic or technical viability, and no current mineral resource or mineral reserve estimate has been prepared for the Property under National Instrument 43-101. Accordingly, there is no assurance that production, or any resulting royalty revenue to Red Metal, will continue or be realized as anticipated.
