Ameriwest Launches New Corporate Website Highlighting the Bornite Project and Engages Momentum Public Relations Inc.

Ameriwest Critical Metals Inc. has announced the launch of an updated corporate website and the engagement of Momentum Public Relations Inc. in a strategic move to enhance its market presence as it advances its critical metals portfolio across North America. The new website at www.ameriwestcriticalmetals.com is designed to provide streamlined access to investor materials and corporate updates, with particular emphasis on the company's flagship Bornite Project in Oregon.

The company has entered into a five-month investor relations consulting agreement with Momentum Public Relations, valued at $15,000 per month plus GST, totaling $75,000 in cash compensation. The agreement, effective February 12, 2026, and running through July 11, 2026, will see Momentum PR provide comprehensive investor relations, market awareness, and public relations services through various digital channels and platforms. The services will be delivered by Maxence Gagné-Godbout and will focus on corporate communications, digital marketing campaigns, shareholder outreach, and strategic positioning in capital markets.

Ameriwest's strategic focus centers on its Bornite copper-gold-silver project in Oregon, described as a breccia-pipe system with extensive historical drilling, metallurgical testing, and pre-feasibility work already completed. The company plans to fast-track exploration and permitting activities at Bornite while leveraging modern 3-D modeling and verification drilling to assess the system's potential. Beyond Bornite, Ameriwest maintains a diversified critical metals portfolio including the Xeno rare earth-yttrium project in northern British Columbia and lithium assets in Nevada and Arizona.

This corporate repositioning reflects the growing importance of critical minerals in electrification, defense, infrastructure, and data center development. The timing of these initiatives suggests Ameriwest is positioning itself to capitalize on increased investor interest in North American critical metals supply chains, particularly as geopolitical considerations drive demand for domestic mineral resources. The company's disciplined, staged approach to exploration and technical evaluation across multiple jurisdictions provides diversified exposure to key battery and technology metals while maintaining focus on near-term development opportunities at Bornite.
