Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 28, 2026) - Makenita Resources Inc. (CSE: KENY) (WKN: A40X6P) (OTCID: KENYF) (the "Company" or "Makenita") is pleased to announce that a helicopter-based aeromagnetic/radiometric/VLF (very-low-frequency) survey on the entirety of Makenita's Sisson West tungsten project in New Brunswick is now under way. This project is directly adjacent to the Sisson Tungsten mine in New Brunswick. On November 13, 2025, the Sisson tungsten mine was selected by the Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney, as one of the first nation-building projects.1 Management cautions that past results or discoveries on properties in proximity to Makenita may not necessarily be indicative of the presence of mineralization on the Company's properties.

Jason Gigliotti, President of Makenita Resources Inc., stated, "It is great to finally be underway on this exciting project at a time when tungsten prices and demand are strong.2 With just over 30 million shares outstanding, any success in the ground would have a meaningful impact on the Company given such a small float. Management anticipates a very active remainder of the year and is very optimistic about the near- and mid-term outlook for Makenita."
