Burnaby, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 8, 2026) - NatBridge Resources Ltd. (CSE: NATB) (OTCID: NATBF) (FSE: GI80) ("NatBridge" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has transferred its Mineral Rights Deed and title to the subsurface mineral interests in Land Parcels 45 and 46 of the Cahuilla Gold Project in Imperial County, California (the "Cahuilla Interests") to NatGold Integrity Vault LLC, the designated custodian within the NatGold Digital ecosystem ("NatGold"), pursuant to the previously announced NatGold Resource Certification & Tokenization Agreement dated November 10, 2025.

NatGold confirmed the minting of 57,200 NATG tokens in connection with the Cahuilla Interests. Under the NatGold Resource Certification & Tokenization Agreement, NatBridge is entitled to receive 73% of the gross proceeds generated from the sale of such tokens, less a 15% market liquidity fee and applicable network and custody charges.

NatBridge will not hold, own, issue, market, distribute or otherwise control any NATG tokens. Any proceeds to the Company will be payable in the United States dollar equivalent following the sale of applicable NATG tokens by NatGold. The initial and subsequent market prices of NATG tokens, the timing and volume of any token sales, and any resulting proceeds payable to NatBridge will be determined by NatGold in accordance with its established protocols, market conditions and other factors beyond the Company's control.

The Cahuilla Interests were the first mineral interests submitted to NatGold for evaluation under NatGold's certification and tokenization framework pursuant to the Collaborative Development Agreement entered into between the parties in January 2025. Completion of the title transfer represents a milestone in the implementation of that framework and provides the Company with an additional pathway through which it may seek to realize value from certain qualifying mineral property interests.

"The completion of this first title transfer represents an important achievement in our efforts to identify innovative opportunities to unlock value for our shareholders," said Stephen Moses, Chief Executive Officer of NatBridge. "We continue to focus on assessing and advancing mineral property opportunities while evaluating a range of potential commercialization pathways."

The NATG tokens are issued by NatGold and not by the Company. This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, digital assets or tokens.
