Finlay Minerals Ltd. has announced two investor relations arrangements intended to broaden its investor outreach across Europe and digital channels. The board described a short-term engagement with a German consultancy and a one-year renewal with an established online investor publisher. Both contracts include defined fees, do not involve equity-based compensation, and are conditional on the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The company emphasized that these engagements are arm’s-length and that neither firm, nor their principals, hold direct or indirect stakes in Finlay’s securities. The agreements reflect Finlay’s effort to raise the profile of its northern British Columbia projects and to support communications with existing and prospective stakeholders.

Details of the German Mining Networks engagement
The retainer with German Mining Networks GmbH commences on May 7, 2026 and covers an initial three-month term with a total fee of $20,400. Following the initial term, the arrangement may be continued on a month-to-month basis at $6,800.00 per month. The mandate is focused on introductions to European investors and may include other promotional activities as agreed.
Commercial and compliance terms
The contract contains no performance-linked milestones or success fees and specifies that no common shares or options will be issued as compensation. As with other corporate service agreements, the engagement is subject to regulatory oversight: the contract must receive approval from the TSX Venture Exchange. German Mining Networks GmbH is headquartered in Schmalkalden, Germany, and is an arms-length service provider to the company.
Renewal with Investing News Network
Finlay has renewed its relationship with Dig Media Inc., operating as Investing News Network (INN), for a 12-month program beginning on May 31, 2026. The renewed package, totaling $25,593.75, covers a suite of services including advertising, online profile generation, press release syndication and lead-generation activities conducted via INN’s website.
Engagement structure and independence
Similar to the German engagement, the INN contract contains no performance-based conditions and does not provide for equity or option grants as payment. The renewed engagement also requires the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. INN is based in Vancouver, Canada, and operates at arm’s length from Finlay; neither INN nor any of its principals hold interests in the company’s securities.
Corporate assets, funding arrangements and trading information
Finlay continues to concentrate on exploration for base and precious metals across several properties in northern British Columbia. The portfolio comprises five 100% owned properties: the PIL and ATTY properties in the Toodoggone region (13,374 hectares), the Silver Hope Cu-Ag property (21,322 hectares), and the SAY Cu-Ag and JJB Cu properties (41,655 hectares) within the Driftwood Corridor. These areas are adjacent to recent exploration activity and porphyry discoveries, offering potential for new discoveries.
Funding arrangements differ across the portfolio: the PIL and ATTY projects are solely funded by Freeport-McMoRan under six-year earn-in agreements, while Finlay finances exploration at JJB, SAY and Silver Hope directly. The company trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol FYL and on the OTCQB under the symbol FYMNF. Further corporate information is available at www.finlayminerals.com.
