NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / January 13, 2026 / Infinico Metals Corp. ("Infinico" or the "Company") (TSXV:INFM) announces that, further to its news releases of December 3, 2025, it has closed its non-brokered private placement financing (the "Offering") of common shares ("Shares"). The Offering consisted of the sale of 16,500,000 Shares at a price of $0.01 per Share for aggregate gross proceeds of $165,000.

The gross proceeds from the sale of Shares will be used for general working capital purposes. The Offering is subject to regulatory approval, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"), and all Shares issued pursuant to the Offering will have a hold period of four months and one day.

Perry Ing, a director of the Company, and Plethora Private Equity, a holder of greater than 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares of the Company, are insiders of the Company (within the meaning of the rules and policies of the TSXV) (the "Insiders") and have acquired an aggregate of 16,500,000 Shares in connection with the Offering. The Insiders' participation in the Offering therefore constitutes a "related-party transaction" within the meaning of TSXV Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority security holder approval requirements of the related-party rules set out in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the subject matter of the Offering does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company.

The securities described herein have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act, or any state securities laws, and accordingly may not be offered or sold within the United States except in compliance with the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities requirements or pursuant to exemptions therefrom. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy any securities in any jurisdiction.

In connection with the closing of the Offering on January 13, 2026, Plethora Private Equity (the "Acquiror"), a company controlled by Peter Vermeulen, acquired an aggregate of 15,000,000 Shares (the "Acquisition"). Prior to the Acquisition, the Acquiror and Mr. Vermeulen beneficially owned or exercised control or direction over 19,065,809 Shares, representing 28.03% of the outstanding Shares of the Company on both an undiluted and partially diluted basis. After completion of the Acquisition, the Acquiror beneficially owns or exercises control or direction over 34,065,809 Shares, representing 40.30% of the outstanding Shares of the Company on both an undiluted and partially diluted basis.

In satisfaction of the requirements of National Instrument 62-104 - Take-Over Bids and Issuer Bids and National Instrument 62-103 - The Early Warning System and Related Take-Over Bid and Insider Reporting Issues, an early warning report respecting the Acquisition of securities by the Acquiror will be filed under the Company's SEDAR+ Profile at www.sedarplus.ca, following the closing. To obtain a copy of the early warning report filed by the Company, please contact Samuel Walding at (604) 210-1030 or refer to SEDAR+ under the Company's issuer profile.

The Acquisition was completed for investment purposes. Depending on market and other conditions, the Acquiror may from time to time in the future increase or decrease the ownership, control or direction over securities of the Company, through market transactions, private agreements, or otherwise.
