Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - July 23, 2026) - Metatek-Group Ltd. (TSX: MTEK) ("Metatek" or the "Company") today announced that it has signed a new contract with a global energy company, to undertake an airborne gravity survey in North Africa.

The multidisciplinary airborne acquisition, processing and interpretation project will utilize a conventional gravity and magnetic system, with operations expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2026. The contract is incremental to the Company's planned operating schedule for the second half of 2026 and is expected to generate additional revenue alongside the continued deployment of Metatek's primary systems.

"This project reflects Metatek's expertise in delivering airborne geophysical solutions tailored to meet our clients' specific technical objectives," said Dr. Mark Davies, CEO of Metatek. "Working closely with the client, we developed a survey program that fits their operational timeline and meets their technical objectives. Metatek is pleased to support the growing national and international efforts to advance the development of the significant natural resources in this region of North Africa."

Highlights:

• New contract signed with a global energy company for an airborne gravity data acquisition, processing and interpretation survey in North Africa.

• Survey to be undertaken using conventional gravity and magnetic systems rather than Metatek's exclusive eFTG and dFTG technologies.

• Project is incremental to the Company's planned operating schedule for the second half of 2026.

• In-country operations are expected to start in the fourth quarter of 2026, with processing and interpretation deliverables to follow.
