CORNISH METALS ANNOUNCES EXERCISE OF STOCK OPTIONS AND ISSUE OF EQUITY

 

Vancouver, July 9, 2025

Cornish Metals Inc. (AIM/TSX-V: CUSN) ("Cornish Metals" or the "Company"), a
mineral exploration and development company focused on advancing its 100%
owned and permitted South Crofty tin project in Cornwall, United Kingdom,
announces the exercise of 750,000 stock options by using the net exercise
method.

Using this method, which is permissible under the terms of the Company's share
option plan, as approved by shareholders on June 29, 2023, the Company issues
shares equivalent to the value of the net gain, being the difference between
the exercise price and the market value on the date of exercise. Accordingly,
only 287,914 common shares without par value at a price of 10 cents per common
share in the share capital of the Company ("New Shares") have been issued.

The New Shares will rank pari passu with the existing shares and application
has been made for the 287,914 New Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM
("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective and
dealings in the New Shares will commence at 8:00am on or around July 15, 2025.
The New Shares will also trade on the TSX Venture Exchange.

Following Admission, Cornish Metals' Issued and Outstanding share capital will
consist of 1,252,701,993 common shares. The Company does not hold any common
shares in treasury. Shareholders may use this figure as the denominator for
the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify
their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company.

Following the issue of the New Shares, the Company's outstanding stock
options, warrants and performance share units are as set out in the table
below:

ABOUT CORNISH METALS

Cornish Metals is a dual-listed mineral exploration and development company
(AIM and TSX-V: CUSN) that is advancing the South Crofty tin project towards
production. South Crofty:

·    is a historical, high-grade, underground tin mine located in
Cornwall, United Kingdom and benefits from existing mine infrastructure
including multiple shafts that can be used for future operations;

·    is permitted to commence underground mining (valid to 2071),
construct a new processing facility and for all necessary site infrastructure;

·    would be the only primary producer of tin in Europe or North America.
Tin is a Critical Mineral as defined by the UK, American, and Canadian

infrastructure. Approximately two-thirds of the tin mined today comes from
China, Myanmar and Indonesia;

·    benefits from strong local community, regional and national
government support with a growing team of skilled people, local to Cornwall,
and could generate up to 320 direct jobs.
