Valkea Resources to Participate in Gentile Mining Investor Forum

Valkea Resources Corp. is set to participate in the inaugural Gentile Mining Investor Forum, an event that will take place in London on Monday, October 19, 2026, at 116 Pall Mall in Mayfair. The forum is organized by strategic junior mining investor Michael Gentile in partnership with Amvest Capital Inc. and supported by Flagship Sponsors ATB Cormark Capital Markets, Beacon Securities Limited, and STIFEL.

The program aims to bring together up to 150 investors, family offices, wealth managers, and high-net-worth individuals for a full day of structured one-on-one meetings and dedicated issuer showcases. Over 20 companies from Gentile's portfolio, including Valkea, will present their projects. The day will begin with a keynote breakfast featuring Gentile, sponsored by Canaccord Genuity, followed by issuer showcases, an executive lunch and speaker panel, and an all-day investor lounge and networking reception hosted by Investor.Events. Crux Investor serves as the media sponsor.

Valkea Resources is a geoscience-led exploration company focused on making new gold and base metals discoveries in Northern Finland's Central Lapland Greenstone Belt. The company holds a 350 km² land package that includes six principal project areas, spanning highly prospective regional geological structures. The company's leadership and technical team include key contributors to the multi-million-ounce Ikkari gold discovery made in 2020. Work is currently underway to make a new discovery using the same systematic and disciplined approach to identifying targets with the best potential for meaningful size and the possibility of becoming mines of the future.
