Edmonton, Alberta (AB) -- (February 23, 2026) – Torr Metals Inc. (“Torr” or the "Company") (TSX-V: TMET.V) is pleased to announce that it has engaged the services of ICP Securities Inc. (“ICP”) to provide automated market making services, including use of its proprietary algorithm, ICP Premium™, in compliance with the policies and guidelines of the TSX Venture Exchange and other applicable legislation. ICP will be paid a monthly fee of C$7,500, plus applicable taxes. The agreement between the Company and ICP was signed with a start date of February 23, 2026 and is for four (4) months (the “Initial Term”) and shall be automatically renewed for subsequent one (1) month terms (each month called an “Additional Term”) unless either party provides at least thirty (30) days written notice prior to the end of the Initial Term or an Additional Term, as applicable. There are no performance factors contained in the agreement and no stock options or other compensation in connection with the engagement. ICP and its clients may acquire an interest in the securities of the Company in the future.

ICP is an arm’s length party to the Company. ICP’s market making activity will be primarily to correct temporary imbalances in the supply and demand of the Company’s shares. ICP will be responsible for the costs it incurs in buying and selling the Company’s shares, and no third party will be providing funds or securities for the market making activities.

Malcolm Dorsey, President and CEO, commented, “As Torr continues to expand its shareholder base and advance to Phase 2 drilling at our Kolos Copper-Gold Project, we believe it is important to ensure our shares trade in an orderly and efficient manner. Over the past year we have seen meaningful growth in liquidity and investor awareness, and engaging ICP is a proactive step to help maintain stable bid-ask spreads and consistent market depth, particularly as additional shares come free trading. This engagement is focused on enhancing overall market quality and supporting fair price discovery in compliance with TSX Venture Exchange policies. We view this as prudent capital markets infrastructure as we move into our next phase of exploration.”
