Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - May 4, 2026) - North Peak Resources Ltd. (TSXV: NPR) (OTCQB: NPRLF) (the "Company" or "North Peak") announces that it has entered into an agreement dated effective April 29, 2026 (the "Agreement") to purchase for cancellation 1,000,000 of its common shares (the "Shares") from Solarljos, LLC ("Solarljos") at a price of C$0.80 per Share, for aggregate consideration of C$800,000 (the "Transaction").

Completion of the Transaction is subject to the acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"). The Shares will be cancelled upon completion of the Transaction.

Solarljos is controlled by the Erickson family of Nevada, which includes Dr. Ty Erickson, a director of the Company. The Erickson family owned and developed the Prospect Mountain Mine Complex near Eureka, Nevada (the "Property") until selling it to the Company in 2023.

The Company believes the current share price does not reflect the underlying value of its assets and the purchase and cancellation of these Shares is consistent with the Company's conviction in the long-term value of the Property.

"The Erickson family has been, and remains, valued and supportive shareholders of North Peak Resources. We are grateful for the legacy that Einar Erickson built and for the family's continued belief in the potential of the Property. The agreement to purchase these Shares reflects our own confidence in the value of our asset and we are pleased to support the Erickson family's important humanitarian endeavours," stated Rupert Williams, Chief Executive Officer.

The Erickson family has a longstanding commitment to humanitarian work in Africa. Dr. Ty Erickson is a highly regarded surgeon, educator, and advisor to humanitarian organizations, with a particular focus on delivering obstetric fistula repair care in complex and volatile environments. Proceeds from this sale of Shares will support the continuation of this work for several years.

Following completion of the purchase and cancellation of the Shares, Solarljos is expected to hold 7,000,000 Shares, representing approximately 14.3% of the issued and outstanding Shares. Solarljos is expected to file an early warning report in accordance with applicable securities laws following completion of the Transaction.

The Transaction constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company expects to rely on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 on the basis that the fair market value of the Transaction does not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

Dr. Erickson disclosed his interest in the Transaction and abstained from voting on the approval of the Transaction. The Transaction was reviewed and approved by the disinterested directors of the Company.
