York Harbour Metals Strengthens Position with 100 Million Firetail Shares and Milestone Progress at High-Grade Copper-Zinc-Silver Project in Newfoundland

Vancouver, November 14, 2024 - York Harbour Metals Inc. (TSXV: YORK) (the "Company" or "York Harbour") is pleased to announce that, following strategic review and management discussions, the Company has decided not to pursue a share consolidation at this time. York Harbour remains well-capitalized, strongly positioned for future growth, and is excited to share updates on its significant asset progress and developments.

As part of the Option Agreement with Firetail Resources Limited (ASX: FTL) ("Firetail") at the Skyline Copper Project (formerly the York Harbour Project) in Newfoundland, York Harbour has received its first milestone payment of AUD $200,000, along with a substantial stake of 100 million Firetail shares. Under the agreement, York Harbour stands to receive additional payments up to the 3^rd anniversary, totaling $300,000 in cash (AUD) and 75,000,000 Firetail shares, along with the commitment for 10 kilometres (10,000 metres) of drilling. This agreement secures York Harbour's 20% interest in the project and includes a Net Smelter Return (NSR) royalty, aligning York Harbour with Firetail's continued exploration and development success.

Firetail has recently commenced a robust 5,000-meter maiden drilling campaign and reported exciting early results from the Skyline Copper Project. In particular, drill hole YH24-123 interseccted high-grade copper-zinc-silver mineralization over impressive intervals, including 16.07 metres at 1.58% copper, 2.55% zinc, and 5.52 g/t silver, including a high-grade zone of 3.50 metres at 6.74% copper, 10.61% zinc, and 23.87 g/t silver. These results reinforce the project's high-grade potential, with assays pending for further drilling along strike and down-dip.

The technical information regarding drill results from the Skyline Copper Project has been reviewed and approved by Firetail Resources' Qualified Person, as disclosed in Firetail's ASX release dated November 4^th, 2024.

York Harbour anticipates a steady stream of results from Firetail's exploration efforts, complemented by a comprehensive geophysical survey planned for the project's expansive 16 km strike length. This program is expected to identify additional high-potential targets, and enhance the value of the Skyline Copper Project, and potentially increasing its scale and economic attractiveness.
