Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 25, 2025) - Searchlight Resources Inc. (TSXV: SCLT) (OTC Pink: SCLTF) ("Searchlight" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has contracted Axiom Exploration Group to prepare NI43-101 technical reports on the 100%-owned Bootleg Lake and Robinson Creek Gold properties, located within 15 kilometres of Creighton, Saskatchewan and Flin Flon, Manitoba.

Axiom Exploration Group has completed site visits to both projects, and the final reports should be available in early 2026. This will be the first Technical Report on the Robinson Creek project, and an update of the 2013 report on Bootleg Lake completed prior to Searchlight acquiring the project. The reports will compile all exploration data on the two projects and make recommendations for future exploration and development.

"This will provide Searchlight with a more thorough assessment of these two important gold projects in the Flin Flon Mining camp, at a time of near-record gold prices. The NI43-101 report is particularly important for the Robinson Creek Project with an Initial Exploration Target estimated between 77,000 and 154,000 oz gold, but with no prior report," stated Stephen Wallace, CEO. "The reports will assist the company with future exploration and development plans, including the possibility of combining Robinson Creek and the nearby brownfields Bootleg Lake Gold holdings."

Compilation Disclaimer: Management cautions that the presented drill sample results are historical in nature, and Searchlight has not undertaken any independent investigation of the sampling, nor has it independently analyzed the results of the previous exploration work to verify the results. Searchlight considers these sample results relevant, as the Company uses historical reports and sample results to evaluate and plan future exploration programs. All drill intercepts are drill-indicated lengths. Insufficient technical information exists to demonstrate the true widths of these intersections. The technical information is derived from public documents available through the Saskatchewan Government Ministry of Energy and Resources.

Initial Exploration Target Disclaimer: The potential quantity and grades are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration drilling to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the Exploration Target being delineated as a mineral resource.
