MAIDEN DRILL PROGRAM HITS NICKEL-COPPER

SULPHIDES AT WAPATIK

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE AZIMUT EXPLOATION INC. ANNOUNCEMENT:

• Discovery of nickel-copper massive sulfide mineralisation during the maiden 1,000m diamond drilling program at the Wapatik Project.
• This initial drilling interval is ranked as one of the best recorded results for nickel-copper mineralisation in the James Bay region, based on public data (SIGEOM).

Mont Royal Resources Limited ("Mont Royal", the "Company") (ASX: MRZ) is pleased to provide the below announcement released by the Company's joint venture partner, Azimut Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AZM) (OTCQX: AZMTF) ("Azimut"), on 29th June 2022.

Mont Royal is delighted to update shareholders regarding a discovery of nickel-copper massive sulfide mineralisation during its maiden 1,000m diamond drilling program at the Wapatik Project ("Wapatik", "Project"), located in the James Bay area of Quebec, Canada. This high-grade intersection is related to an ultramafic intrusion and corresponds to an electromagnetic conductor with strong potential for expansion with immediate follow up drilling.

Details of the discovery hole WAP22-003: 2.68% Ni, 1.30% Cu, 0.09% Co over 3.30m from 143.4 m

to 146.7 m along the hole (110 meters vertical depth), including: 3.63% Ni, 0.48% Cu, 0.12% Co over

1.0 m, and 3.04% Ni, 0.75% Cu, 0.10% Co over 1.1 m. Assay results are pending for the other three holes and the remainder of WAP22-003 which formed part of the phase 1 drilling program.

A second phase drill program is currently underway for a program of six (6) diamond drill holes operated by Azimut, with the drilling being carried out by Chibougamau Drilling Ltd of Chibougamau (Quebec).

Mont Royal looks forward to updating shareholders following completion of the drill program. This announcement is released by Mont Royal in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 3.1.

Mont Royal's Executive Director, Peter Ruse said: "Mont Royal is delighted to announce highly encouraging results from the maiden drilling program at the Wapatik Project, with significant nickel- copper sulphides intersected drill hole WAP22-003. The discovery of this massive sulphide mineralisation is a major step in advancing our exploration plans at the Project. Given the results from this initial

discovery hole, we've immediately moved to follow up with a Phase 2 drill program to further delineate sulphide accumulation both along strike and down dip confirmed by downhole electromagnetic survey.

Following visual inspection of WAP22-003, assays were sent to ALS labs on an express order delivering excellent high-grade results and we aim to continue to expedite results for this exciting drill program.

We look forward to updating the market with drilling updates over the coming weeks."

This announcement was approved for release by the Board.

ENDS.

Press Release

Azimut and Mont Royal Discover High-GradeNickel-Copper Massive Sulphide at Wapatik

2.68% Ni, 1.30% Cu and 0.09% Co over 3.30 m

Follow-up Drilling Underway

Longueuil, Quebec - Azimut Exploration Inc. ("Azimut" or the "Company") (TSXV:AZM) (OTCQX:AZMTF) is pleased to announce the discovery of nickel-coppermassive sulphide mineralization during its maiden diamond drilling program on the Wapatik Property ("the Property"). Associated with an ultramafic intrusion, the mineralized interval corresponds to an electromagnetic conductor with excellent chances for expansion. A minimum 6-hole(1,050-metre)follow-up program is already underway to further delineate the shape and extent of this discovery. Other attractive targets within the intrusion may also be drill-tested.

The Property, located in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec, is under option to Mont Royal Resources Limited ("Mont Royal") (ASX:MRZ). Mont Royal can acquire an initial 50% interest in the Property by spending $4 million in exploration expenditures over four (4) years and can earn a further 20% interest with an additional investment of $3 million and the delivery of a preliminary economic assessment over three (3) years. Azimut is the operator.

HIGHLIGHTS (see Figures 1 to 3, Photo 1 and Table 1)

• 2.68% Ni, 1.30% Cu, 0.09% Co over 3.30 m from 143.4 m to 146.7 m along hole WAP22-
  003 (vertical depth of 110 metres), including:
• • 3.63% Ni, 0.48% Cu, 0.12% Co over 1.0 m, and
  • 3.04% Ni, 0.75% Cu, 0.10% Co over 1.1 m.
• This initial drilling interval is one of the best nickel-copper results recorded in the

James Bay region, based on public data (SIGEOM). It strongly supports Azimut's view that the region is underexplored for nickel-copper deposits despite its favourable geological context (see Azimut's press release of November 30, 2021).

• The massive to semi-massive sulphide mineralization in the interval comprises coarse- grained pentlandite, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite. It displays brecciated textures containing angular to subangular fragments of ultramafic rocks and metasediments. The mineralized section is schematically positioned at the interface between overlying ultramafic intrusive rocks and underlying foliated host rocks dominated by pyrrhotite-bearing metasediments.
• This interval indicates the potential for sulphide accumulation at the bottom of the intrusion with an interpreted basin-shaped geometry, supported by 3D magnetic inversion modelling (see press release of April 19, 2022).
• The maiden drilling program consisted of four (4) holes for 1,068 m (holes WAP22-001 to 004). These holes still need to be fully described and assayed. The program was designed to test conductors identified by an electromagnetic (SQUID) ground survey.
• Pulse-EMborehole surveys were performed to maximize the search radius for each hole and provide information about the possible extension of any conductors encountered. Survey results revealed in-hole and off-hole anomalies, notably in hole WAP22-003. TMC Geophysics of Val-d'Or (Quebec) conducted the surveys.
• Chibougamau Drilling Ltd of Chibougamau (Quebec) is carrying out the drilling operations. Core diameter is BTW. All core samples were sent to ALS Laboratories in Val-d'Or, Québec. Samples were analyzed for a 48-element suite using ICP. High-grade nickel and copper were analyzed using 4-acid digestion and ICP-AES finish. Gold, platinum and palladium were analyzed using lead oxide collection fire assay and ICP-AES finish. Azimut applies industry- standard QA/QC procedures to its drilling programs. All batches sent for analysis include certified reference materials, blanks, and field duplicates.

PROJECT MILESTONES

In addition to the drill interval discussed above, other key milestones since the inception of the project are as follows:

• Acquisition by map designation of the 25-kilometre-long Wapatik Property, just prior to Azimut's announcement of the Elmer gold discovery in the same greenstone belt (press release of January 14, 2020);
• Signing of a joint venture option agreement between Azimut and Mount Royal for Wapatik. Initial targeting primarily considered the shear-related gold and intrusion-relatedcopper-gold potential of the Property (press release of September 22, 2020);
• Initial property-scale exploration program comprising a high-resolution heliborne magnetic survey (5,116 line-kilometres on 25-metre spaced lines), remote-sensing analysis, geological and structural interpretation, and a till survey yielding 154 samples. The interpretation of the magnetic survey led to the identification of a previously unrecognized kilometre-scale intrusion, possibly mafic-ultramafic, considered an attractive copper-nickel-PGE target (press releases November 18, 2020 and October 25, 2021);
• Field confirmation of an ultramafic intrusion with disseminated nickel-copper mineralization. The best grab sample from an outcrop yielded 1.035% Cu, 0.384% Ni, 0.03% Co and 5.42 g/t Ag (press release of December 7, 2021); and
• A SQUID geophysical survey to follow up on the prospecting results, identifying highly conductive zones interpreted as potentially related to nickel-copper mineralization (press releases of January 31 and April 19, 2022).
