New U.S. Executive Order Accelerates Scale-Up Opportunity for RZOLV Process™

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – October 13, 2025 – Innovation Mining Inc. (“Innovation” or the “Company”) a clean-technology company pioneering environmentally friendly solutions for the recovery of gold and critical minerals, welcomes U.S. Department of the Interior Executive Order No. 3436 as a landmark policy that will accelerate the Company’s strategic growth and technology deployment opportunities across North America.

On July 23, 2025, the U.S. Department of the Interior issued Order No. 3436, titled “Unlocking Critical and Strategic Minerals from Mine Waste.” This Executive Order supports the United States’ bipartisan strategy to enhance national security, strengthen domestic mineral supply chains, and promote sustainable resource recovery.

Key Provisions Include

• Streamlined Permitting & Fast-Track Approvals: Projects recovering critical minerals and gold from mine waste can now be treated as environmental clean-up initiatives rather than new mining operations—significantly reducing regulatory barriers and permitting timelines.

  
  

• Expanded Access to Federal Funding: Eligible projects may receive grants and support under the Abandoned Mine Land Economic Revitalization (AMLER) program, the Abandoned Hardrock Mine Reclamation (AHMR) fund, and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).

  
  

• Federal Priority for Waste Reclamation: The Order mandates accelerated development of projects reclaiming valuable metals from legacy mine sites and coal waste.

  
  

• Support for Emerging Clean Technologies: Encourages the deployment of sustainable processes that recover metals while improving land and water quality outcomes.

RZOLV - Offers A Cleaner And Faster Path To Gold & Critical-Mineral Recovery

The new U.S. policy framework directly supports the commercial rollout of RZOLV Technologies’ patented RZOLV Process™, an eco-friendly, water-based alternative to cyanide designed to recover gold and critical minerals from oxide and sulfide based ores, gravity concentrates, mine waste, and tailings.

The RZOLV Process™ delivers a combination of performance and sustainability benefits:

• Environmentally Safe Chemistry: Water-based, non-cyanide formula with environmental impact.

  
  

• Simplified Permitting: Can be classified as both a clean reclamation technology and a conventional mining process.

  
  

• Low-Capital, Rapid Deployment: Modular, scalable systems for mine-waste and tailings sites.

  
  

• Positive ESG Outcomes: Reduced waste footprint, improved site rehabilitation, and alignment with global sustainability goals.

  
  

The U.S. has thousands of abandoned mine sites (on both federal and non-federal lands) that include waste rock, tailings, impoundments, pits, and other legacy mining features. For example, the U.S. Forest Service estimates ~ 38,991 abandoned mine sites on National Forest lands, of which ~13,597 had records of mineral production. RZOLV Technologies is well positioned to accelerate commercialization under this new regulatory environment.

“This Executive Order represents a significant inflection point for RZOLV Technologies,” said Duane Nelson, Chief Executive Officer. “The U.S. government’s focus on reclaiming and securing domestic critical-mineral supply chains perfectly aligns with our mission. The RZOLV Process™ offers a cleaner, faster, and more sustainable pathway for gold and critical-mineral recovery—while substantially reducing permitting hurdles and environmental impact.”

About Innovation Mining Inc.

Innovation Mining Inc. is a clean-technology company with a mission to transform the global gold-mining industry through safer, sustainable, and high-performance extraction technologies. The Company has developed RZOLV™, a proprietary non-toxic, water-based hydrometallurgical formula that replaces cyanide in gold leaching.

While cyanide has been the industry standard for over a century, its toxicity has led to widespread environmental concerns, costly permitting, and outright bans in several jurisdictions. RZOLV™ offers equivalent recovery efficiency and cost performance with a non-toxic, reusable, and environmentally responsible profile.

Innovation is currently focused on validating its technology through industrial-scale pilot programs, after which full commercialization and licensing activities will begin. The Company has safeguarded RZOLV through an international patent filing and a comprehensive intellectual-property framework that includes protection for its chemical formulation, regeneration processes, and specific applications in heap leaching, vat leaching, and concentrate treatment.
