Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 21, 2026) - Phenom Resources Corp. (TSXV: PHNM) (FSE: 1PY0) ("Phenom" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that Paul Cowley, Company President & CEO, and Dr. David Dreisinger, Company Metallurgical Advisor, will be participating as panelists in the two-day Strategic Resources in Competition Conference hosted by the Irregular Warfare Initiative (IWI) and the Special Operations Association of America (SOAA) in Reston, Virginia, focused on the role of critical minerals and rare earth elements in strategic competition. As demand for these resources grows across defense, energy, and advanced technologies, control of supply chains has become a central factor in national security and irregular competition.

IWI and SOAA put operators in front of policymakers and legislators on Capital Hill to give them the ground truth. Bringing together 400-600 leaders from government, industry, academia, and the national security community, the conference will examine the role of critical minerals and rare earth elements in strategic competition, economic statecraft, supply chain resilience and national security. The Company is a sponsor of the conference.

Paul Cowley, Company President and CEO and Director states, "Dr. David Dreisinger and I will have the opportunity in this forum and with this audience as panelists to raise the profile of vanadium and its superior role in electrolyte battery storage over lithium and on the cutting-edge solid-state vanadium battery to key decision making in Washington. Specifically, we will be able to spotlight our vanadium assets (deposit and processing knowhow) as examples of untapped critical mineral opportunities that with the right private and public funding will open a new battery economy, benefit Homeland Security and diversify supply chains in America.
