Aldebaran Resources Inc. (TSX-V: ALDE) (OTCQX: ADBRF) is pleased to provide results from all remaining holes of the 2025-2026 infill and geotechnical drilling program at the Altar project in San Juan, Argentina. The drilling program was designed to upgrade Inferred resources to the higher-confidence Measured and Indicated categories while also supporting geotechnical studies. Several of the holes reported today were drilled exclusively for geotechnical purposes in final pit wall areas where significant mineralization was not expected.

John Black, Chief Executive Officer of Aldebaran, commented: “A mineralized interval exceeding 1.7 kilometres in a single drill hole underscores the immense scale of the Altar system. As we move toward our updated mineral resource estimate, we will be incorporating more than 40,000 m of drilling completed at the main Altar deposit since the last resource estimate in late 2024, as well as approximately 30,000 m of drilling completed at the adjacent Radio Porphyry target. Radio Porphyry has never been included in a mineral resource estimate, making this an important milestone for the project. We believe the 2026 resource update will better demonstrate the scale and growth potential of the broader Altar Project and position us well for the Pre-Feasibility Study scheduled for completion in 2027.”

Kevin B. Heather, Chief Geological Officer of Aldebaran, commented: “With the release of this final batch of drill hole results, the Altar project continues to amaze us with long continuous intervals of copper mineralization. The 2025-2026 drilling campaign results have exceeded our expectations, and while we were waiting on these final results to arrive, we have been busy refining and improving our geological and geotechnical models based on this recent drilling. Collectively this bodes well for the upcoming mineral resource estimate and the pre-feasibility study.”

About Aldebaran Resources Inc. 

Aldebaran is a mineral exploration company that was spun out of Regulus Resources Inc. in 2018 and has the same core management team. Aldebaran holds an 80% interest in the Altar copper-gold project in San Juan Province, Argentina. The Altar project hosts multiple porphyry copper-gold deposits with potential for additional discoveries. Altar forms part of a cluster of world-class porphyry copper deposits which includes Los Pelambres (Antofagasta Minerals), El Pachón (Glencore), and Los Azules (McEwen Copper). In November 2024, the Company announced an updated mineral resource estimate for Altar, prepared by Independent Mining Consultants Inc. and based on the drilling completed up to and including the 2023-24 field season (independent technical report prepared by Independent Mining Consultants Inc., Tucson, Arizona, titled “Technical Report, Estimated Mineral Resources, Altar Project, San Juan Province, Argentina“, dated December 31, 2024 – see news release dated November 25, 2024). In October 2025 the Company announced a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the Altar Project (independent technical report prepared by SRK Consulting Inc, Denver, Colorado, titled “NI 43-101 Technical Report Preliminary Economic Assessment Altar Project San Juan, Argentina”, dated September 30, 2025 – see news release dated October 30, 2025).

Sampling and Analytical Procedures

Altar follows systematic and rigorous sampling and analytical protocols which meet and exceed industry standards. These protocols are summarized below and are available on the Aldebaran website at www.aldebaranresources.com.

All drill holes are diamond core holes with PQ, HQ or NQ core diameters. Drill core is collected at the drill site where recovery and RQD (Rock Quality Designation) measurements are taken before the core is boxed and transported to the Altar camp facilities, a short distance away, where the whole core is photographed under more optimum lighting conditions and geological quick log is produced. The whole-core is then marked and sampled into geological defined, systematic 1- to 2-metre sample intervals, unless the geologist determines the presence of an important geological contact, which should not be crossed. The whole-core is then cut-in-half with a diamond saw blade, with half the sample retained in the core box for future reference and the other half placed into a pre-labelled plastic bag, sealed with a two plastic security zip ties, and labeled with a unique sample number. The bagged samples are then placed into larger plastic sacks, and those sacks are sealed with another plastic security zip tie and labelled for shipment. The sacks are then placed onto wooden pallets and wrapped in plastic shrink-wrap and stored in a secure area pending shipment to a certified ALS laboratory sample preparation facility located in Mendoza, Argentina, where the samples are dried, crushed, and pulverized. The resulting sample pulps are sent by batch to the ALS laboratory in Lima for geochemical assay analysis, including a 30g fire assay with an atomic absorption (AA) finish analysis for gold and a full multi-acid digestion (4-acid) with ICP-AES analysis for other elements. Samples with results that exceed maximum detection values for gold are re-analyzed by fire assay with a gravimetric finish and other elements of interest are re-analyzed using precise ore-grade ICP analytical techniques. Aldebaran independently inserts certified control standards (Super Certified Reference Materials (SCRM’s), coarse field blanks, and duplicates into the sample stream to monitor data quality. These control samples represent 10-12% of the total samples submitted and are inserted “blindly” to the laboratory in the sample sequence prior to departure from the Aldebaran facilities.
