Terra Balcanica Announces Proposed Spin-Out of Terra North Resources Corp.

Vancouver, British Columbia - December 15^th 2025 - Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. ("Terra" or the "Company") (CSE:TERA; FRA:UB10; OTCQB:TEBAF) is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has approved, in principle, a corporate reorganization (the "Spin-Out Transaction") whereby the Company plans to spin out its Canadian uranium assets into a wholly-owned subsidiary, Terra North Resources Corp. ("Terra North").

The proposed spin-out transaction is expected to include the following steps:

·      Terra will transfer its 591 km2 Saskatchewan uranium portfolio, including the Charlot-Neely Lake claim cluster located in the Uranium City district, to Terra North, in consideration for 15,000,000 common shares of Terra North;

·      Terra North will complete a series of private placement financings to fund the 2026 exploration program on the uranium properties (Figure 1), and provide for other 2026-27 working capital requirements;

·      Terra North will distribute a portion of the Terra North Shares held by it to its shareholders on a pro rata basis as a return of capital;

·      Terra North will apply to list its common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE"), targeting a listing in Q2 2026, subject to receipt of regulatory approvals.

Terra North has engaged Dahrouge Consulting Inc. of Edmonton, Alberta to complete a NI 43-101 compliant technical report on the Charlot-Neely Lake property, which will support the Spin-Out Transaction and anticipated CSE listing. Furthermore, Terra North has engaged Maxis Law Corporation of Vancouver, BC to provide legal counsel and facilitate the Spin-Out Transaction.

The Company intends to provide additional details regarding the structure, share distribution ratio, and timing of the spin-out once final terms are determined, and all regulatory and corporate approvals have been obtained. Completion of the Spin-Out Transaction will be subject to shareholder approval, CSE approval, and applicable securities and corporate law requirements.

Terra Balcanica's CEO, Dr. Aleksandar (Alex) Mišković, stated:

The spin-out of Terra North positions our uranium portfolio within a focused exploration vehicle while allowing Terra to continue advancing its European projects. We are thus becoming exposed to scarce critical metals with significant projected upside in the coming decade such as antimony, silver, zinc, uranium and REEs. This structure is designed to unlock value for Terra shareholders through direct exposure to the exploration upside of the Canadian assets, while minimizing dilution of Terra shareholders by raising funding for Canadian exploration activity directly in Terra North. We are excited to hit the ground in the late spring of 2026 with a robust $2M exploration budget that will include multiple geophysical surveys and a follow up ground-truthing fieldwork.
