Nuvau Minerals Inc. (TSXV: NMC,OTC:NMCPF) (the ‘Company’ or ‘Nuvau’) announces that, further to its news release dated January 30, 2026, it has amended the terms of its previously announced ‘best efforts’ brokered private placement offering, co-led by Clarus Securities Inc. and Integrity Capital Group Inc. (together, the ‘Agents’), comprised of (i) the offering of up to 18,750,000 units of the Company (the ‘Units’) at a price of $0.80 per Unit for gross proceeds of up to $15,000,000 (the ‘Unit Offering’) and the offering of up to 5,555,555 FT Shares (as defined herein) at a price of $0.90 per FT Share for gross proceeds of up to $5,000,000 (the ‘FT Offering’ and together with the Unit Offering, the ‘Offering’).

As amended, the Company proposes to issue up to 5,555,555 flow-through common shares of the Company (the ‘FT Shares‘) at an offering price of $0.90 per FT Share (the ‘FT Share Price‘). All FT Shares will be common shares of the Company that qualify as ‘flow-through shares’ within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and section 359.1 of the Taxation Act (Québec). The gross proceeds from the offering of FT Shares will be used by the Company to incur eligible ‘Canadian exploration expenses’ (as defined in the ITA), a portion of which may qualify as ‘flow-through mining expenditures’ and at least 30% of which will qualify as ‘flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures’ (‘FTCMME‘) (each as defined in the ITA) (the ‘Qualifying Expenditures‘). At the sole discretion of the Company certain subscribers of FT Shares may be allocated a higher percentage of Qualifying Expenditures that qualify as FTCMME. All Qualifying Expenditures will be incurred by the Company on or before December 31, 2027, and will be renounced in favour of the subscribers of the FT Shares with an effective date on or before December 31, 2026.

All other terms of the Offering remain unchanged. Please refer to the Company’s news release dated January 30, 2026, for additional information.

In connection with the Offering, a director of the Company, plans to sell up to 400,000 common shares of the Company (‘Common Shares‘) held, directly or indirectly, through the facilities of the TSX Venture Exchange (the ‘Exchange‘) and intends to use the proceeds from such sales to subscribe for 400,000 FT Shares under the FT Offering. The sale of such Common Shares is expected to be effected pursuant to pre-arranged trades made through the facilities of the Exchange.

Participation in the Offering by a director of the Company constitutes a ‘related party transaction’ within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (‘MI 61-101‘). The Company intends to rely on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements provided under sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 on the basis that the fair market value of the transaction, insofar as it involves interested parties, will not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.

Closing of the Unit Offering is expected to occur on or about February 24, 2026, with the closing of the FT Offering expected to occur on or about March 6, 2026. Completion of the Offering remains subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to, the conditional approval of Exchange. All securities issued under the Offering will be subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day from the date of issuance thereof.

The Agents will have an option (the ‘Agent’s Option‘), exercisable in whole or in part up to 48 hours prior to the closing of the Unit Offering, to offer for sale up to any combination of additional Units (or any combination of their underlying components) and/or additional FT Shares, at their respective offering prices, to raise up to an additional $5,000,000 in gross proceeds.

The securities offered have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any State in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
