  • IRS Wage Garnishments Can Increase Without Notice – Clear Start Tax Explains How “Silent Adjustments” Happen

    Tax professionals warn that IRS wage garnishments may rise unexpectedly as penalties and interest accrue

    IRVINE, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / February 6, 2026 / Many taxpayers believe that once an IRS wage garnishment is in place, the amount withheld from their paycheck remains fixed. According to tax resolution firm Clear Start Tax, that assumption can be costly. In reality, IRS garnishments can increase over time – sometimes without direct notice to the taxpayer – due to what professionals call “silent adjustments.”

    These increases typically occur when penalties and interest continue to accumulate on unpaid tax balances. As the total debt grows, the IRS may adjust the garnishment calculation, resulting in a larger portion of wages being withheld, even if the taxpayer’s income has not changed.

    “People often think their garnishment is locked in,” said a Clear Start Tax representative. “But the IRS doesn’t need to send a new warning every time the balance changes. Those adjustments can happen quietly in the background.”

    Unlike private creditors, the IRS operates under federal garnishment authority that allows it to continuously collect on a growing balance. While employers receive instructions on how much to withhold, taxpayers may not realize why their net pay suddenly drops further from one pay period to the next.

    Clear Start Tax notes that these increases are especially common when taxpayers miss additional filing deadlines or fail to address other unresolved tax years while a garnishment is already in place.

    “We see cases where someone is already under garnishment, then penalties from an older year kick in or a new assessment is added,” the firm said. “The garnishment quietly grows, and the taxpayer doesn’t understand why their paycheck keeps shrinking.”

    Tax professionals emphasize that garnishments rarely resolve tax debt on their own. In many cases, the withheld amount does not keep pace with accruing interest, allowing balances to linger or even increase.

    “Wage garnishment can feel like you’re paying something down, but it’s often not enough,” Clear Start Tax added. “Without a structured resolution, taxpayers can remain stuck in collection mode indefinitely.”

    As IRS enforcement continues to intensify, experts urge taxpayers experiencing wage garnishments to monitor their IRS account activity closely and seek guidance before silent adjustments compound the financial strain.

    By answering a few simple questions, taxpayers can find out if they’re eligible for the IRS Fresh Start Program and take the first step toward resolving their tax debt.

  • Revolve Announces US$40 Million Strategic Financing With Callaway Capital

    Strategic Partnership Removes Capital Constraints, Strengthens Balance Sheet, and Accelerates Advancement of 3 GW Renewable Energy Portfolio

    VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / February 6, 2026 / Revolve Renewable Power Corp. (TSXV:REVV)(OTCQB:REVVF) (“Revolve” or the “Company“), a North American owner, operator and developer of renewable energy projects, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a secured convertible credit agreement dated February 5, 2026 (the “Credit Agreement“) that provides for up to US$40 million of financing from Callaway Capital Management, LLC (“Callaway” or the “Lender“), representing a significant milestone in Revolve’s long-term growth strategy.

    The Credit Agreement provides for a US$40 million secured convertible facility, including an initial US$10 million draw available upon closing, subject to customary closing conditions. If completed, the facility is expected to provide Revolve with long-term capital security and flexibility to advance its approximately 3 gigawatt (“GW”) portfolio of utility-scale and distributed renewable energy projects. By removing capital constraints and strengthening the Company’s balance sheet, the transaction positions Revolve to accelerate development timelines, pursue selective acquisitions, and unlock value across its portfolio.

    “This strategic financing with Callaway Capital represents a transformative step for Revolve. It not only provides the capital to accelerate our 3 GW renewable energy portfolio, including our Mexico wind projects, but also gives us the flexibility to pursue selective acquisitions that enhance scale and value. With this long-term partner and a strengthened balance sheet, we are well positioned to execute our growth strategy, support digital infrastructure and electricity demand, and create sustainable shareholder value,” said Myke Clark, CEO of Revolve.

    About Callaway

    Callaway Capital Management, LLC is an alternative asset manager and SEC-registered investment adviser that specializes in the origination of bespoke, process-driven investment and financing opportunities, with a sector focus spanning energy, finance, real estate, and technology.

    “In partnership with Revolve’s leadership, we intend to build a North American energy powerhouse, combining its 3 GW project portfolio with a renewed focus on digital infrastructure and high-demand electricity markets. Callaway’s financing provides Revolve with the necessary resources to advance new and existing projects, capitalize on growing electricity demand, and unlock long-term value while maintaining alignment with shareholder interests,” said Daniel Freifeld of Callaway.

    Strategic Financing Highlights

    • US$40 million secured Credit Agreement, structured in two tranches of US$20 million each.

      • The first tranche (“Tranche A“) consists of a US$10 million initial advance payable at closing, with the remaining US$10 million drawable monthly as needed for qualified purposes, subject to customary conditions set out in the Credit Agreement.

      • The second tranche (“Tranche B“) will be made available to the Company during the term subject to meeting certain conditions specified in the Credit Agreement.

    • Conversion features designed to align with long-term value creation:

      • Tranche A is convertible, at the option of the Lender, into common shares of the Company (the “Common Shares“) at a conversion price of CAD$0.28 per Common Share.

      • Tranche B is convertible, at the option of the Lender, into Common Shares at a conversion price of CAD$0.40 per Common Share, reflecting a premium pricing structure aligned with future growth and scale.

    • Four-year term.

    • 15% payment in kind (PIK) interest, capitalized monthly and accrued until maturity or conversion, with PIK interest convertible at the Lender’s option at a fixed conversion price of CAD$0.28 per Common Share for Tranche A and CAD$0.40 per Common Share for Tranche B.

    • Immediately prior to the closing of the initial draw under Tranche A, Revolve will transition its public listing from the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV“) to the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE“), as set out in greater detail below (the “Exchange Migration“).

    Conditions to Closing

    The Credit Agreement and the initial drawdown under Tranche A remain subject to customary closing conditions, including completion of definitive documentation, required corporate and regulatory approvals, and satisfaction of conditions set out in the Credit Agreement. These conditions include completion of the Company’s listing on the CSE and receipt of all necessary CSE approvals in respect of the Credit Agreement.

    Use of Proceeds

    The Credit Agreement will support the Company’s acquisition, project development and broader growth strategy, including:

    • advancement of the Company’s Mexico‑based wind energy projects, including late‑stage development, permitting, and pre‑construction activities;

    • pursuit of near‑term acquisition opportunities, including operating and late‑stage development renewable energy assets;

    • continued advancement of the Company’s broader utility‑scale and distributed generation renewable energy portfolio, with increasing emphasis on digital infrastructure and electricity‑intensive sectors; and

    • general corporate purposes, working capital and balance sheet strengthening.

    Board Nomination and other Lender Rights

    As part of the strategic financing, Callaway will have the right to select four nominees for election or appointment to Revolve’s seven member board of directors (the “Board“) and will nominate the chair of the Board’s compensation committee and the nominating committee. In addition to Board representation, the Lender will hold certain investor rights, including registration rights, a right to match any debt or equity financing proposed to be raised by the Company during the term of the Credit Agreement, and approval rights over certain significant matters (subject to certain exclusions) with respect to, among other things, employment matters, and operating and capital expenditure budgets, expenses incurred that are not contemplated by operating or capital expenditure budgets, securities offerings, and certain fundamental transactions (including change of control transactions and initial public offering in the United States). The reconstituted Board is expected to add significant experience in infrastructure investing, renewable energy development and capital markets, and to strengthen strategic oversight as the Company scales its platform. The Credit Agreement also contains typical debtor covenants for a secured loan of this nature, such as a restriction on incurring additional debt and the disposition of assets, among other matters.

    A copy of the Credit Agreement will be filed under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

    Exchange Migration and Capital Markets Strategy

    Immediately prior to the initial draw under Tranche A, Revolve intends to complete the Exchange Migration and transition its public listing from the TSXV to the CSE. The Company’s board has determined that the Exchange Migration is in the best interests of shareholders, as the CSE provides a more cost‑effective platform and a streamlined regulatory framework suited to Revolve’s current stage of development.

    Revolve expects its Common Shares to be voluntarily delisted from the TSXV and listed on the CSE within approximately two to four weeks, subject to approval by both the CSE and the TSXV. Shareholders are not expected to be required to take any action in connection with the Exchange Migration, and the Company currently expects its ticker symbol to remain unchanged. The CSE offers an efficient, cost‑effective platform for emerging and growth‑oriented companies and Revolve believes the CSE is well aligned with its operating profile and strategic priorities. Further details regarding the Exchange Migration will be announced by press release in due course.

    Written Shareholder Consent

    The Company also announces that it intends to obtain written shareholder approval in connection with (i) the proposed voluntary delisting of its Common Shares from the TSXV and the proposed listing of its Common Shares on the CSE; and (ii) the Credit Agreement with Callaway Capital Management LLC, as required under applicable CSE policies. In respect of the Credit Agreement, shareholder approval is required under applicable CSE policies because the conversion of all or a portion of the indebtedness thereunder could result in the issuance of more than 50% of the Company’s currently outstanding Common Shares on a non‑diluted basis and could cause the Lender (or an affiliate) to become a new Control Person of the Company. The Company expects to satisfy these requirements by obtaining the written consent of shareholders holding more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding Common Shares, excluding any Common Shares held by the Lender or its affiliates, which would eliminate the need to convene a shareholder meeting and allow the Company to proceed with the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement and the Exchange Migration. Obtaining written consent is also expected to expedite the approval process and reduce costs compared to convening a shareholder meeting.

    “With enhanced capital visibility, Revolve expects to accelerate the progression of projects across its development pipeline while maintaining disciplined capital allocation. The strategic financing aligns with the long-duration nature of renewable energy development and is structured to support sustained growth without near-term liquidity pressure. The Company believes this capital will enable Revolve to transition more rapidly toward a larger operating asset base, supporting long-term cash flow generation and shareholder value creation while increasing its footprint in digital infrastructure and energy-intensive sectors” concluded Clark.

  • Davos Neurodiversity Summit 2026 during World Economic Forum Drives Global Momentum for Neuroinclusive Leadership

    This year’s Summit theme was, “Intergenerational Dialogues in the Intelligent Age.”

    DAVOS, CH / ACCESS Newswire / February 5, 2026 / The 2026 Davos Neurodiversity Summit (DNS) convened in January alongside the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting, bringing global leaders, neurodivergent changemakers, and cross-sector allies together for a series of high-impact dialogues on leadership, inclusion, and human-centered systems change in the age of artificial intelligence. Now in its second year as a formal annual gathering, the Summit has evolved from earlier Davos-based conversations into a distinctive leadership platform-one that centers neurodivergent insight as a strategic advantage for organizations, societies, and future-ready systems.

    “DNS is the first forum of its kind led by neurodivergent leaders-bringing together voices across neurotypes, generations, and sectors to model empathetic dialogues, collaboration and neuroinclusive leadership in action,” said Dr. Maureen Dunne, Founder of the Davos Neurodiversity Summit. “This isn’t just about talking differently-it’s about urgently designing spaces where all kinds of minds can contribute meaningfully to the problems that matter most.”

    This year’s theme, Intergenerational Dialogues in the Intelligent Age, brought together established leaders and emerging voices to explore how collaboration across career stage, sectors, and neurotypes can reshape the future of work, education, and civic life.

    On January 20, DNS hosted its flagship Leadership Dinner in a neuroinclusive setting at the Waldhotel Davos, followed by a week of workshops, curated dialogues, and informal community gatherings designed to prioritize depth, psychological safety, and meaningful connection over performative visibility.

    “Neurodiversity is not a niche issue or a special interest-it’s a leadership and systems issue and central to our collective future,” continued Dunne. “What we’re seeing now is a shift from awareness to real action in redesigning systems so that everyone can thrive. The future belongs to leaders and institutions that know how to design for all kinds of minds-and to listen across generations and neurotypes as technology reshapes how we live and work.”

    A defining feature of the 2026 Summit was the DNS Leadership Wall, recognizing neurodivergent leaders and allies from around the world whose work is driving real-world impact across business, education, technology, public policy, and culture. Honorees and award recipients will be formally celebrated during a virtual ceremony held during Neurodiversity Celebration Week, extending the Summit’s reach beyond Davos.

    “What matters most to me is not scale for its own sake, but integrity,” Dunne added. “DNS is intentionally built as a platform where people can show up fully-where leadership is measured not by sameness or conformity, but by moral courage, collaboration, listening skills, tolerance, empathy and the ability to hold complexity with care.”

    The 2026 Summit was presented by Neurodiversity + Opportunity Drives Innovation (NODI), with additional support from partners and sponsors across sectors. Conversations launched at the Summit will continue throughout the year via publications, partnerships, and a forthcoming documentary series inspired by DNS dialogues. In addition, this year, the Davos Neurodiversity Summit is teaming up with the nonprofit Understood.org to release “Conversations from Davos,” a special edition podcast series of Minds at Work featuring Dr. Dunne as the host in conversation with Summit participants.

    As planning begins for DNS 2027, the Summit’s organizers report strong global interest from leaders, institutions, and sponsors seeking deeper engagement in neuroinclusive leadership and systems change. “This is no longer about proving the case for neurodiversity,” concluded Dunne. “It’s about building the structures that allow different kinds of intelligence to thrive and collaborate -together. DNS exists to support that work, year after year.” Registration for the 2027 Davos Neurodiversity Summit will open later this year.

    About the Davos Neurodiversity Summit
    Across generations, neurotypes, sectors, and lived experiences, leaders from around the world come together each year at the Davos Neurodiversity Summit alongside the World Economic Forum to explore how empathetic dialogue and human-centered design can reshape workplaces, education systems, and institutions. More than a series of events, DNS is a leadership circle and supportive community-one that models authentic inclusion in practice and embraces all kinds of minds, including neurodivergent and nonlinear thinking, as humanity grapples with its most pressing challenges. DNS 2026 focused on “Intergenerational Dialogues in the Intelligent Age” and was livestreamed to a global audience across 42 countries and six continents.

  • Kidoz Welcomes CloudX Innovation Driving Fairer Mobile Advertising Auctions

    Emerging AI-driven initiatives highlight long-term benefits of optimisation and automation

    VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA / ACCESS Newswire / February 5, 2026 / Kidoz Inc. (TSXV:KDOZ)(OTCQB:KDOZF) (the “Company”), a global AdTech platform delivering safe mobile gamer engagement at scale, today commented on recent industry developments related to AI-driven advertising infrastructure and their potential implications for the mobile advertising ecosystem.

    Recent announcements around early-stage AI-native platforms focusing on improving fairness and automation in mobile ad auctions, such as CloudX, have renewed attention on price discovery and operational efficiency. While these initiatives remain at an early stage, they reflect a constructive direction for the market as brands seek greater confidence that in-app inventory is priced transparently and without distortion. Over time, improved auction processes have the potential to encourage increased brand investment in mobile gaming advertising, supporting brand-focused platforms such as Kidoz.

    Market reaction to CloudX has been most visible among large, vertically integrated advertising platforms that combine mediation layers with proprietary demand engines like market-leader Applovin. In these models, the same provider can influence auction mechanics while also competing within them, benefiting from ownership of the price-setting infrastructure. Since CloudX announced general availability, several vertically integrated platform businesses have experienced selling pressure and share price declines, reflecting investor concern around longer-term transparency, incentives, and potential structural change. While these platforms benefit from significant scale and data advantages and are unlikely to face near-term disruption, initiatives that promote more open and verifiable auctions are increasingly viewed as a potential long-term evolution of the ecosystem.

    Kidoz believes it is well positioned within this changing landscape. The Company operates with diversified exposure across the mediation and demand environment, rather than reliance on a single ad stack or auction mechanism. Pricing optimization already occurs across multiple partners, and Kidoz’s business model does not depend on opaque or closed systems to drive performance. As a result, fairer auctions tend to favour platforms focused on compliant inventory, trusted brand relationships, and sustainable monetisation.

    “Kidoz was built to operate in environments where trust, compliance, and transparency matter most,” said Jason Williams, CEO of Kidoz Inc. “While it is still early days for AI in advertising, innovation that improves price discovery and operational efficiency is welcome. We believe our kids-safe, privacy-first foundation and diversified approach to helping brands position us well as the industry continues to evolve.”

    The application of AI and agentic workflows to automate optimisation and operational processes across digital advertising is consistent with Kidoz’s own current services, including our AI-driven Kite IQ contextual targeting, as well as future strategic initiatives. The Company views responsible innovation, fair price discovery, and increased automation as complementary forces that can strengthen the mobile advertising ecosystem and support sustainable growth for developers, advertisers, and platforms alike.

Such forward-looking information involves important risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect anticipated results in the future and, accordingly, such results may differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the company. For a description of additional risks and uncertainties, please refer to the company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

  • American Critical Minerals Recaps a Highly Successful 6 Months and Files Amended and Restated Technical Report

    VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA / ACCESS Newswire / February 5, 2026 / American Critical Minerals Corp. (“American Critical Minerals” or the “Company“) (CSE:KCLI)(OTCQB:APCOF)(Frankfurt:2P30) highlights key milestones achieved during the previous 6 months.

    Highlights

    • Amended and Restated Technical Report: The Company filed an amended and restated technical report with respect to its Green River Potash and Lithium Project. The report provides updated information and includes targets for further exploration* with respect to potash, lithium and bromine as follows:

      • Potash exploration target of 0.5-1.0 billion tonnes of sylvanite grading from 12% to 18% potassium oxide based on elog (eK2O=19% to 29% potassium chloride based on elog (eKCl))

      • 2.1 billion cubic meters (brine volume) grading from 71.6 to 216.3 parts per million lithium

      • 2.1 billion cubic meters (brine volume) grading from 3,656 to 4,741 parts per million bromine

      • The potential quantity and grades are conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource, and, while reasonable potential may exist, it is uncertain whether further exploration will result in the determination of a mineral resource under NI 43-101.

    • Agapito Associates LLC restated that based on the seismic data that both the Paradox and Leadville stratigraphy in the sub-surface at Green River are relatively flat-lying with important positive implications for Potash and Lithium, including the potential for Solution Mining (press release October 15, 2025)

    • Technical Team Significantly Strengthened:

      • Dean Pekeski added as Senior Advisor with significant time commitment (press release November 4, 2025) – CEO, President & Director Peak Minerals and former Executive VP Western Potash Corp. – deep technical knowledge at all phases of development and strong relationships across the Potash Sector

      • Kenneth Taylor, added as Strategic Advisor (press release July 22, 2025) – expert in Salt Minerals and Evaporite Deposits, CFO Redmond Minerals formerly with Intrepid Potash for 12 years in a number of roles including as part of Senior Management, latterly as Vice President of Business Development

    • Balance Sheet significantly strengthened with Closing of Bought Deal Offering and Non-Brokered Offering for aggregate gross proceeds of $7,451,000 (press release November 3, 2025)

    • Annual Renewal of all Potash Licenses and Lithium Claims across the Green River Project (press release September 29, 2025)

    • Bonding paid for all Federally authorized drill holes (total of 4) in December 2025 and awaiting final approval from the BLM

    • Potash added to USGS Critical Minerals Listjoining Lithium (press release November 12, 2025)

      • US focused on securing the Nation’s Critical Minerals Supply Chains – potential for government funding and permitting support

    • Specific reference to Bromine as a Critical Mineral in recent US Govt. Policy Documents on the importing of Processed Critical Minerals (https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2026/01/adjusting-imports-of-processed-critical-minerals-and-their-derivative-products-into-the-united-states/ )

    Simon Clarke, President and CEO stated, “On behalf of Management and the Board of Directors’ of the Company, I would like to thank all of our shareholders and stakeholders for their continuing support and our Team for the hard work and progress made during 2025. This was a transformative year for the Company and it has positioned us for a very strong 2026 and beyond with a team and balance sheet that enable us to move forward with our plans for drilling to confirm / validate historic drill and other data. We are excited to continue to advance the Green River Project with the goal of unlocking the potential of all 3 of its critical minerals for the benefit of domestic supply chains at a time when the US has recognized the need to break foreign dominance.”

    Amended and Restated Technical Report

    The Company also announces that it has filed a revised technical report in respect of its Green River Project. The original report was voluntarily filed on October 28, 2025. The amended and restated technical report follows completion of a review by the British Columbia Securities Commission and, in particular, clarifies that the Green River Project does not contain a current mineral resource estimate under National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101“). With clarifying amendments in place, the Company has re-filed an amended and restated technical report prepared in accordance with NI 43-101.

    About American Critical Minerals’ Green River Potash and Lithium Project

    The Green River Project is situated within Utah’s highly productive Paradox Basin, located 20 miles northwest of Moab, Utah. It has significant logistical advantages including close proximity to major rail hubs, airport, roads, water, towns and labour markets. It also benefits from close proximity to the agricultural and industrial heartland of America and numerous potential end-users for its products.

    The history of oil and gas production across the Paradox Basin provides geologic data from historic wells across the Project, and the wider Basin, validating and de-risking the potential for high grade potash and large amounts of contained lithium. Wells in and around the project reported lithium up to 500 ppm, bromine up to 6,100 ppm and boron up to 1,260 ppm (Gilbride & Santos, 2012). This data is reinforced by nearby potash production and the advanced stage of neighbouring lithium projects. The Paradox Basin is believed to contain up to 56 billion tonnes of lithium brines, potentially the largest such resource in US (Source: AnsonFastmarketsPresentation- https://wcsecure.weblink.com.au/pdf/ASN/02823465.pdf).

    The Company has disclosed targets for further exploration at the Green River Project consisting of 500 million to 950 million tonnes of sylvinite (the most important source for the production of potash in North America) grading from 12% to 18% potassium oxide based on elog (eK2O=19% to 29% potassium chloride based on elog (eKCl)). Its target for further exploration for Lithium and Bromine are 0.6-1.7 Mt lithium carbonate equivalent grading from 91-152 ppm; and 3.3-9.1 Mt bromine grading from 2,647-4,412 ppm.*

    The Company holds a 100% interest in eleven State of Utah (“SITLA“) mineral and minerals salt leases covering approximately 7,050 acres, 1,094 federal lithium brine claims (BLM Placer Claims) covering 21,150 acres, and 11 federal (BLM) potash prospecting permits covering approximately 25,480 acres. Through these leases, permits and claims the Company has the ability to explore for potash, lithium and potential by-products across the entire Green River Project (approx. 32,530 acres). The Company is authorized to drill a total of 7 drill holes across the Project (pending bonding the recently approved 4 drill holes).

    Intrepid Potash, Inc. is America’s largest potash company and only U.S. domestic potash producer and currently produces potash from its nearby Moab Solution Mine, which the Company believes provides strong evidence of stratigraphic continuity within this part of the Paradox Basin (www.intrepidpotash.com). Anson Resources Ltd. has advanced lithium development projects contiguous to the northern boundary of our Green River Project and neighbouring to the south. Anson has a large initial resource, robust definitive feasibility study and has recently completed successful piloting operations through its partnership with Koch Technology Solutions, as well as an offtake agreement with LG Energy Solution. The Anson exploration targets encompass the combined Mississippian Leadville Formation and the Pennsylvanian Paradox Formation brine-bearing clastic layers, which also underlie American Critical Minerals’ entire project area (www.ansonresources.com).**

    In 2022, the U.S. imported approx. 96.5% of its annual potash requirements with domestic producers receiving a higher sales price due to proximity to market (intrepidpotash.com/ August 15, 2024, Investor Presentation). In March 2024, the US Senate introduced a bill to include key fertilizers and potash on the US Department of Interior list of Critical Minerals which already includes lithium, and this process is well advanced with potash being added to the USGS Draft Critical Minerals List. In August 2025. Recent market estimates suggest that the global potash market is over US$50 billion annually and growing at a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of close to 5%. Annual lithium demand is now estimated to be over 1 million tonnes globally and continuing to grow rapidly.***

    * The potential quantity and grades are conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource, and, while reasonable potential may exist, it is uncertain whether further exploration will result in the determination of a mineral resource under NI 43-101. Targets for further exploration for potash, lithium and bromine at the Green River Potash and Lithium Project are used to provide a conceptual estimate of the potential quantity and grade of a mineral deposit, based on known and additional limited geological evidence. It is an early-stage assessment that will help to guide further exploration, but it is not a mineral resource or mineral reserve and should not be treated as such. The report titled “Amended and Restated NI 43-101 Technical Report, Green River Potash and Lithium Project, Grand County, USA’ dated January 27, 2026 and available under the Company’s profile at www.sedarplus.ca provides details of the basis on which the targets for further exploration have been determined.

    ** American Critical Minerals’ management cautions that results or discoveries on properties in proximity to the American Critical Minerals’ properties may not necessarily be indicative of the presence of mineralization on the Company’s properties.
