Teako Announces Private Placement and Shares for Debt Transaction

Vancouver, January 6, 2026 - Teako Minerals Corp. (CSE: TMIN) (the "Company" or "Teako") announces a non-brokered private placement for the issuance of up to 16,666,666 common shares of the Company (the "Common Shares") at a price of $0.06 per Common Share for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $1,000,000 (the "Offering") and the approval of the settlement of $113,000 of indebtedness (the "Debt Settlement") through the issuance of an aggregate of 1,883,333 Common Shares (the "Settlement Shares"). The indebtedness relates to fees for services performed by certain advisors, independent contractors and an insider of the Company (the "Creditors") through to January 6, 2026. The Company anticipates closing the Offering and Debt Settlement promptly.

The Settlement Shares will be issued at a deemed price of $0.06 per Settlement Share in alignment with the price per Common Share of the Company's Offering. The Company will enter into shares for debt agreements with each Creditor in connection with the Debt Settlement.

In connection with the Offering, the Company may pay finder's fees in cash or securities or a combination of both, as permitted by the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE") and applicable securities laws. Closing of the Offering and Debt Settlement is subject to certain customary conditions, including, without limitation, approval of the CSE and the Common Shares and Settlement Shares being subject to a four-month and one-day hold period.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for anticipated exploration activities as well as general working capital purposes to allow the Company to pursue its corporate objective of additional project deals and potential revenue-generating third party work.

The Common Shares offered have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or any applicable state securities laws and may not be offered or sold to, or for the account or benefit of, persons in the United States or "U.S. persons," as such term is defined in Regulation S promulgated under the U.S. Securities Act, absent registration or an exemption from such registration requirements.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the Common Shares in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

About Teako Minerals Corp.:

Teako Minerals Corp. is a Vancouver-based mineral exploration company committed to acquiring, exploring, and developing mineral properties in Norway, focusing on critical metals such as copper, cobalt, zinc and molybdenum. By leveraging leading-edge exploration technologies and strategic partnerships, Teako aims to address the growing demand for essential minerals while generating value for shareholders and stakeholders alike.

Teako's Project Hub, including the Løkken and Venna main projects, covers an extensive land package prospective for copper, cobalt, zinc, gold, platinum group elements (or "PGE"), uranium, antimony, molybdenum and rare-earth-elements. The Project Hub strategy was initially developed from the Company's first-mover advantage in-country, leveraging both technical skill and strong local community engagement to acquire and advance groups of both core and non-core assets. Core assets such as the Løkken-Venna district remain integral to the Company's self-funded exploration programs, whereas the Company aims to retain exposure to exploration success on non-core assets through securing deals with strong partners. These deals, if secured, are intended to potentially bring in capital and/or ongoing cash flow, retain upside exposure, and reduce overall risk, thereby strengthening Teako's foundation. Teako holds a 10% economic interest in the four (4) rare earth elements ("REE") projects owned by Fritzøe Skoger AS and a 10% non-dilutive free carried ownership interest in a package of copper, gold and silver projects consisting of 5 projects owned by Nordic Minerals AS, a wholly owned subsidiary of United Minerals Australia Pty Ltd as further described on the Company's website.
