TORONTO, ON – TheNewswire - June 22, 2026 – Metalite Resources Inc. (CSE: METL) (OTC Pink: JNCCF) (FSE: D680) (" Metalite " or the " Company ") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement dated June 19, 2026 (the “ Definitive Agreement ”) with Launay Gold Corp. (“ Launay ”) and Cachee Gold Mines Corp. (“ Cachee ”), pursuant to which Metalite has agreed to acquire, directly or indirectly, a 100% undivided interest in and to the Launay Gold Property located in Québec, Canada (the “ Launay Gold Property ” or the “Transaction”), subject to certain pre-existing net smelter return royalties. Chris Hazelton, CEO of Metalite, commented: " Entering into the Definitive Agreement for the Launay Gold Property represents an important step in building Metalite's portfolio of mineral exploration projects. The addition of Launay, located in Québec's Abitibi region, complements the Company's existing 100%-owned Arthurs Seat Silver-Antimony project in New South Wales, Australia. We believe the Company will be well positioned to advance both assets through focused technical evaluation, exploration planning and target development. "
