Makenita Completes Work Program on the Sisson West Tungsten Project in New Brunswick

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 22, 2026) - Makenita Resources Inc. (CSE: KENY) (WKN: A40X6P) (OTCID: KENYF) (the "Company" or "Makenita") is pleased to announce that the work program encompassing a helicopter-based aeromagnetic/radiometric/VLF (very-low-frequency) survey on the entirety of Makenita's 'Sisson West Tungsten Project' in New Brunswick has been completed. This project is directly adjacent to the Sisson Tungsten mine in New Brunswick. On November 13, 2025, the Sisson tungsten mine was selected by the Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney, as one of the first nation-building projects.¹ Management cautions that past results or discoveries on properties in proximity to Makenita may not necessarily be indicative of the presence of mineralization on the Company's properties.

Jason Gigliotti, President of Makenita Resources Inc., stated, "We are pleased to have completed the first step on this exciting project at a time when tungsten prices and demand are strong.² We are very excited about critical defense metals, our geological team is currently reviewing and interpreting the data, as we are eager to proceed with the next phase of work on the 'Sisson West Tungsten Project'. We also expect to be active shortly on our 51,304 contiguous-acre 'Serpentinization Iron-Magnetite Project' located in Saskatchewan directly bordering Max Power Mining Corp. (MAXX). With just over 30 million shares outstanding, success in the ground on any of our projects would have a meaningful impact on the Company given such a small float. Management anticipates a very active remainder of the year and is very optimistic about the near- and mid-term outlook for Makenita."
