Linear Minerals Corp Announces Exploration Program at Lac Marion Property

Linear Minerals Corp Announces Exploration Program at Lac Marion Property
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / January 29, 2026 / Linear Minerals Corp. (CSE:LINE)(OTCID:LINMF)(WKN:A40 Y3E) ("Linear" or the "Company") is pleased announce its follow up exploration program at the Lac Marion Property in Quebec. The Company has received an Authorization de travaux d'intervention (ATI) exploration work permit from the Ministère des Ressources naturelles et des Forêts (MRNF) covering the Lac Marion Property. The ATI authorizes mechanical trenching and diamond drilling activities. Linear Minerals plans to commence permitted exploration activities in the spring, subject to site access, weather conditions, and standard operational considerations.
The 2026 work program will be a follow up of the first round of prospecting, geological mapping and sampling work completed on the property. The first round of exploration yielded promising rare earth element (REE) results from initial prospecting at its Lac Marion Quebec mineral project. Samples were analyzed at ACTLABS Ancaster, Ontario which is an independent, ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory using fusion ICP-MS and ICP-OES methods. The initial announcement for these samples was the subject of Linear's November 2nd, 2025, news release and is summarized below:
Sampling Results Summary
Element / Parameter | Reported Range |
Uranium (U) | 20 to 3,690 ppm U |
U₃O₈ (calculated) | 0.002% to 0.459% U₃O₈ |
Thorium (Th) | 10 to 378 ppm Th |
Total Rare Earth Elements (TREE) | 8 to 1,365 ppm TREE |
Heavy Rare Earth Elements (HREE) | 12 to 626 ppm HREE |
Phosphate (P2O5) | Less than 0.01% to 4.97% |
The heavy rare earth enrichment in these samples is particularly encouraging. Heavy rare earth elements such as dysprosium, terbium, and yttrium are among the rarest and most strategically important critical minerals, essential for high-performance permanent magnets, advanced defense technologies, and next-generation clean energy systems.
These early results suggest that the Quebec project may host zones of high-value heavy rare earth mineralization, distinguishing it from many typical light-REE occurrences in Quebec.
Cautionary Statement:
The reported samples are selective grab samples and may not be representative of underlying mineralization. There has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource, and it is uncertain whether further exploration will result in the delineation of a mineral resource.
In addition, the Company is to announce it has closed the first tranche of the non-brokered private placement previously announced on December 10, 2025. As part of the closing the first tranche, the Company will issue 6,500,000 hard-dollar units at a price of $0.05 cents per share and one common share purchase warrant for gross proceeds of $325,000. Each hard-dollar warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share at a price of 25 cents for a period of one year from the issue date.
Final closing of the private placement is subject to obtaining all required approvals, including from the CSE, and any other regulatory approval. All securities issued in connection with the private placement will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus a day from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable securities legislation.
The proceeds from the private placement will be used for general working capital and to its further exploration efforts on its properties located in Quebec.
