NatBridge Advances Cahuilla Consolidation with New LOI for Additional Deeded Parcels

Burnaby, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 10, 2026) - NatBridge Resources Ltd. (CSE: NATB) (OTCID: NATBF) (FSE: GI80) ("NatBridge" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Binding Letter of Intent (the "LOI") with Teras Resources Ltd. USA ("Teras USA") dated March 9, 2026, to further advance consolidation of deeded mineral interests within the Cahuilla Gold Project in Imperial County, California, which, together with the Binding Letter of Intent signed on January 9, 2026 (collectively, the "Phase 2 LOIs"), completes the Phase 2 parcel acquisition framework.

Under the LOI, NatBridge proposes to acquire an additional four (4) deeded parcels of land (the "Acquisition Parcels") on terms consistent with the Company's previously announced parcel acquisition framework and has also secured an option (the "Option") to acquire a further three (3) parcels (the "Option Parcels").

"We are pleased to have reached this milestone, further expanding NatBridge's presence at the Cahuilla Gold Project," commented Stephen Moses, Chief Executive Officer of NatBridge. "Building on our earlier Phase 1 parcel agreement, these agreements advance a structured consolidation strategy that provides us with a clear pathway to build-out our mineral rights position."

Joseph Carrabba, CEO of Teras Resources, added: "We are pleased to continue moving forward with NatBridge on the ongoing consolidation of deeded interests within the Cahuilla Gold Project area. This LOI reflects the constructive working relationship between our teams and our shared objective of progressing these transactions in an orderly and collaborative manner. We look forward to finalizing a definitive agreement."

The Phase 2 LOIs set out the principal commercial terms pursuant to which NatBridge and Teras USA intend to enter into one or more definitive agreements governing the acquisition of subsurface mineral rights underlying the Acquisition Parcels and, if exercised, the Option Parcels. The Option is exercisable by NatBridge at any time prior to closing of the Acquisition Parcels, or such later date as may be agreed in writing between the parties.

In consideration for the proposed acquisition of the Acquisition Parcels, NatBridge and Teras USA have agreed that the purchase price will be premised upon the terms of the previously announced Phase 1 acquisition as determined by reference to the gold resource estimate set out in a National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") compliant technical report (the "Technical Report") titled "Amended Technical Report on the Cahuilla Project Gold and Silver Resources, Imperial County, California" dated March 10, 2021, authored by Steven D. Craig, C.P.G., et al., with respect to the subsurface mineral rights underlying the applicable parcels. The exercise price payable in respect of the Option Parcels, and the additional commercial terms applicable to the Option, will be set out in the applicable definitive agreement.

The Phase 2 LOIs do not amend or modify the Mineral Rights Purchase Agreement entered into by NatBridge with Teras USA in September 2025, in respect of certain deeded parcels comprising Phase 1 of the Cahuilla Gold Project (the "Mineral Rights Purchase Agreement"), and relate solely to the proposed acquisition of additional deeded parcels adjacent, but separate and distinct from the Phase 1 parcels.

Closing of the transaction remains subject to the execution of definitive agreements, the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, receipt of all required regulatory approvals, and compliance with applicable laws. There can be no assurance that any transactions contemplated by the Phase 2 LOIs will be completed as proposed, or at all.

Consequent to the shareholder update issued on December 9, 2025, the Company engaged Capps Geoscience LLC to prepare a supplemental NI 43-101 compliant technical report, as required by the British Columbia Securities Commission ("BCSC"). A draft technical report has been submitted to the BCSC for review, and the Company is in the process of addressing comments received. Upon completion of the BCSC review, the finalized technical report will be filed under the Company's profile on SEDAR+.
