Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company (each, a “Share“) and one-half of one Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant“).

The Company has granted the Lead Agent an option (the “Agents’ Option“) to increase the size of the Offering by up to an additional 6,250,000 Units at the Issue Price, for additional gross proceeds of up to $5,000,000 on the same terms and conditions as set out herein. The Agent’s Option is exercisable in whole or in part at any time, up to two business days prior to the Closing Date.

The net proceeds from the Offering are expected to be used for capital expenditures and general working capital purposes, including advancement of the Company’s exploration programs and corporate initiatives.

The Units will be offered for sale (i) by way of private placement pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under section 5A.2 of National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions, as amended and supplemented by Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 – Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption (the “Listed Issuer Financing Exemption“) in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario, (ii) in the United States pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act“), and applicable U.S. state securities laws, and (iii) in jurisdictions outside of Canada and the United States as mutually agreed to by the Company and the Lead Agent, provided it is understood that no prospectus filing, registration or comparable obligation arises in such other jurisdiction. The securities issued under the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption will not be subject to a statutory hold period pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws.

There is an offering document (the “Offering Document“) related to this Offering that can be accessed under the Company’s profile at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company’s website at www.viscountmining.com.

The Offering is expected to close on or around February 27, 2026, or such other date as agreed upon between the Company and the Lead Agent (the “Closing Date“) and is subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals including the approval of the Exchange.

It is anticipated that certain insiders of the Company, the Lead Agent and certain affiliates may acquire Units in the Offering in amounts up to approximately 10% of the Offering. Any participation by related parties of the Company in the Offering will constitute a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101“). The Company expects such participation will be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the Units subscribed for by the related parties, nor the consideration for the Units paid by such related parties, is expected to exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.

Qualified Persons

The scientific and technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Harald Hoegberg PG, an independent consulting geologist who is a “Qualified Person” (“QP“) as such term is defined under National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101“).

About Viscount Mining Corp. (TSXV: VML) (OTCQB: VLMGF)

Viscount Mining Corp. is a project generator and mineral exploration company focused on advancing high-quality silver, gold, and copper assets in the Western United States. The Company’s portfolio includes the Silver Cliff silver project in Colorado and the Cherry Creek multi-metal district in Nevada.

Silver Cliff Project — Colorado

The Silver Cliff project is located in the historic Hardscrabble Silver District and comprises 96 lode claims with year-round paved access and established local infrastructure. The project covers a large volcanic caldera system recognized for its silver, gold, and base-metal potential.

The property includes two principal zones of focus:

Kate Deposit (Silver Resource Area): The Kate hosts a NI 43-101 compliant near-surface silver resource published by an independent QP (details: Measured & Indicated and Inferred silver resources were reported in the Company’s technical disclosure; investors are encouraged to review the full technical report available on SEDAR+ for tonnage, grade, and methodology).
Passiflora Porphyry Target: Historical and modern drilling indicate extensive hydrothermal alteration consistent with a large porphyry system. Recent drilling by Viscount (hole PF-23-03A) intersected 843.9 metres of continuous copper-gold mineralization averaging 0.214% CuEq, including multiple higher-grade zones such as 189 m at 0.326% CuEq and 45 m at 0.417% CuEq (as previously disclosed in the Company’s August 14, 2025 press release prepared with the assistance of Mr. Harald Hoegberg). The Company interprets this as being on the periphery of a potentially larger intrusive centre. Mineralization remains open in multiple directions.

Cherry Creek Project — Nevada

The Cherry Creek project covers 219 unpatented and 9 patented claims in a well-known historic mining district approximately 50 miles north of Ely. The property includes more than 20 past-producing mines and hosts several styles of mineralization, including silver-gold veins, carbonate-replacement (CRD) zones, jasperoids, and porphyry-related alteration. The district is 100% controlled by Viscount and is considered highly prospective for multi-metal discoveries within the broader mineralized system.

Viscount’s strategy is to acquire, explore, and advance high-potential mineral properties through systematic geological work, while continuing to build partnerships that support long-term development.
