Storm Exploration Inc. Retains Altitude Capital

Bruce Counts, President and CEO stated, "Storm is pleased to be working with Altitude to expand its capital markets presence. Mr. Wekerle's experience in capital markets is extensive and he has a remarkable track record of success in the industry. This engagement will allow Storm to benefit from his knowledge of the industry as well as his enviable network of investors and financial institutions. Altitude's capital markets advice to the Company will be invaluable as we focus our efforts on advancing the Miminiska gold project, located in northwestern Ontario."

Michael Wekerle believes that Storm's's Miminiska project is "Perfectly timed to capitalize on current market conditions, particularly due to the increasing demand for gold as a safe-haven asset. I see the project's rich mineral potential, coupled with its strategic location in a stable jurisdiction, as aligning perfectly with the current economic landscape. This, combined with innovative exploration strategies, makes the Miminiska project a "perfect storm" of opportunity for investors looking to capitalize on gold's enduring value."

Mr. Wekerle has had a very successful career in capital markets. Early in his career he joined First Marathon and quickly rose up to become the head trader for the firm, where he was a key player in Roger's takeover of McLean Hunter in 1994. He then joined GMP (Griffiths McBurney and Partners) as Vice Chairman of trading, where he was involved with the 1997 initial public offering of Research in Motion (RIM). In 2012, he formed his own firm, Difference Capital, where he invested in companies such as Thunderbird Films, Vision Critical, Appinions and HootSuite. Mr. Wekerle is well known for the 4 seasons (seasons 9 through 12) that he was an investor on the Canadian television show, Dragon's Den.

The Company has granted stock options in accordance with the terms and conditions of its rolling Stock Option Plan, entitling the purchase of an aggregate two million fifteen thousand common shares by certain directors, management and consultants to the Company. Each stock option will be exercisable at $0.07 per common share with one million expiring September 2, 2027 and the remainder expiring September 2, 2029. The grant of sixty five thousand of the September 2, 2029 expiring options is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
