Press Release
Copenhagen, 8 October 2026

Trifork Group AG

Trifork appoints Kristian Hjort-Madsen as SVP of its Public Sector business

With the appointment, Trifork aims to contribute earlier to the strategic dialogue around technology choices, digital transformation priorities and emerging customer needs in the public sector and accelerate the development of products and AI solutions that can scale. The appointment is part of Trifork’s overall strategic push into the public sector.

Trifork is further strengthening its focus on the public sector and has appointed Kristian Hjort-Madsen as SVP of its Public Sector vertical, reporting to Executive Management. He joins from his role as Chief Digital Information Officer at Norlys. Throughout his career, he has worked at the intersection of technology, business and society: in central government, as an adviser and technology provider, and most recently as a customer and senior executive responsible for major digital transformations, enterprise-wide technology and infrastructure services, cybersecurity, data and AI.

At Trifork, Kristian will be responsible for developing the Public Sector vertical’s work with public customers in Denmark and in the Group’s other markets, while bringing Trifork’s products and domain expertise into the dialogue around public-sector customers’ most important digital challenges.

Contributing earlier to the strategic dialogue

Public-sector organisations face a number of significant technology decisions in the coming years. Trifork’s ambition is to contribute earlier to the strategic dialogue around technology choices, digital transformation priorities and emerging customer needs.

“The public sector is facing some of the most consequential technology decisions in decades. AI is fundamentally changing what is possible, while security, critical infrastructure and digital sovereignty are moving rapidly up the agenda. At Trifork, we have the technology, the products and some exceptionally strong specialist capabilities accumulated over decades of public-sector experience. Our next step is to become even better at bringing these capabilities into play earlier and across markets,” says Jørn Larsen, Group CEO & Founder of Trifork.

Better public services through secure and sovereign digitalisation

Early in his career, Kristian Hjort-Madsen worked at the Danish Ministry of Finance on the strategic technology development of Denmark’s public sector. Since then, he has worked on both sides of the table as an adviser and technology provider, and later as a customer and senior executive.

“For much of my career, I have worked with how technology can transform large organisations. One of the key lessons I have learned is that outcomes are significantly better when the customer and technology partner engage in a genuine strategic dialogue early. At the same time, AI gives us the opportunity to rethink a wide range of public-sector tasks and services that have previously been difficult to digitalise. Europe also has a growing need to develop and retain control of technology in areas that are critical to our societies. I believe Trifork has a distinctive opportunity to play an important role here,” says Kristian Hjort-Madsen.

Building on an established public-sector business

With approximately half of Group revenue coming from public customers, Trifork already has significant public-sector activities across a number of markets. An important part of the Public Sector vertical’s role will be to make it easier to deploy the Group’s products and specialist capabilities across countries. The appointment follows other recent senior hires to strengthen Trifork’s public-sector work, including Charlotte Pockendahl Andersen, VP, Public Sector.

“We should not reinvent everything in every market. Trifork has strong specialist teams and proven technology across the Group. If we can combine deep local market understanding with the best of what we have already built elsewhere, we will have an even stronger platform for product-led growth,” says Kristian Hjort-Madsen.

TORONTO, Oct. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Total Metals Corp. (“Total Metals” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: TT) (OTCQB: TTTMF) (FSE: O4N) is pleased to announce that a diamond drill rig and geological team are currently being mobilized to the Company’s 100% owned High Lake gold project, situated in Northwestern Ontario near the Manitoba/Ontario border and adjacent to the Trans-Canada Highway.

• Drilling expected to commence October 9, 2026.
• Targeting 2,500 metres of exploration diamond drilling on the High-Grade Purdex Zone

“The entire technical team is incredibly energized as we mobilize equipment to the Purdex Zone,” said Robert Penczak, Vice President of Exploration for Total Metals Corp. “We’ve spent months refining our targets, and seeing a rig arrive on site is a highly anticipated milestone. This is an exceptional high-grade gold target, and we couldn’t be more excited to get the drill turning shortly and see what the core reveals.”

Figure 2. High Lake property airborne drone magnetics highlighting target zones and interpreted structural trends.

High-Priority Drilling Strategy
Drilling is expected to commence Friday October 9, 2026 at High Lake, where historic drilling has demonstrated significant gold mineralization. Geological and geophysical evidence indicates that the system remains open in multiple directions. The planned program is an initial phase of a drilling strategy with objectives to further expand the known mineralized footprint, establish continuity and further define the scale potential of the Purdex Zone.

The drill program has been structured to allow the company to scale activity in response to results, including the potential deployment of additional drill rigs to accelerate follow-up on successful targets. This flexibility is intended to allow Total Metals to rapidly advance encouraging results while continuing to evaluate the broader high-potential targets.

High-priority drill targets include the Purdex Zone and interpreted structural trends at the High Lake Property as shown in Figure 2. Areas of exploration focus include confirming and expanding occurrences as well as prioritized areas of structural trends, especially in where they intersect or bend in areas of lithological complexity.

Qualified Person
Robert Penczak, M.Sc., P.Geo (Ontario), Vice President of Exploration for the Company and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information used in this news release.

About Total Metals Corp.
Total Metals owns 100% of the High Lake and West Hawk Lake Project covering 958 hectares in two gold properties located along the Trans-Canada Highway straddling the Manitoba / Ontario border. The Purdex Zone on the High Lake property has significant exploration potential and will be the primary target for initial exploration and potential future mining activities. The West Hawk Lake property is comprised of a single mineral lease, located within southeastern Manitoba. The Company has an option on the Menary gold property, strategically located in the Kenora Mining Division of Ontario, sharing a common southern boundary with the Rainy River claims being acquired by Coeur Mining, Inc. (“Coeur”) following its ~US$7 billion acquisition of New Gold Inc. The most recent addition to the Company is the Pick Lake property, consisting of 75 claims and a mining lease covering over 5,260 hectares, accessible via a road connected to the Trans-Canada Highway to the south. The Pick Lake critical minerals deposit has an average strike length of approximately 250m and a depth extension tested between 300 to 1200m. Total Metals Corp. is focused on developing and advancing its high-grade gold and critical mineral assets located in Eastern Canada. The Electrolode Project is targeting high-potential critical mineral plus gold resources and targets in three favorable geologic trends, located near major mines in the Red Lake Gold camp and is strategically located between Kinross Gold’s Great Bear Project and First Mining Gold’s Springpole Project. The Electrolode Project and hosts 10 historic mineralized zones with significant expansion potential plus new, untested targets ready for further exploration.

The property dates from October 2025, when 1,372 ha of tenure applications were acquired and later registered as four claims. The newly added Junkers, Junker West, and Junker East claims to the north and northeast bring the Junkers occurrence onto the property, and the original four claims cover the southern and southwestern extensions of its stratigraphy and structures (Figure 1).¹ The block has the greatest relief in the Company portfolio, rising from 1,300 m to 2,402 m in razor-backed ridges bounded by cliff faces, and is accessed by helicopter-only, about 36 km from Sturdee, 61 km from the Kemess airstrip, and 25 km beyond the road end at Lawyers.

The property is underlain by Lower to Middle Jurassic Hazelton Group marine sedimentary and volcanic rocks, the well-layered volcaniclastic unit that also hosts the Ursus skarn and the Harmon Peak veins, with a small Jurassic granodiorite body in the northeast of the block, at the corner of claim 1129846 and continuing north onto Junker East. The name comes from the Junkers Member of the Toodoggone Formation, the ash-flow tuff and rhyolite-dacite unit mapped at Oxide Summit.

The new claims comprise a 2021 helicopter-borne gradient magnetic survey over the core block that shows two strong anomalies that follow the East and West ridges, attributed in the survey report to the volume of magnetic rock exposed in them rather than to alteration or mineralization. A lineament analysis of the same data suggested a north-northwest-trending element crossing the West Ridge, coincident with the erosional notch that appears to feed the talus fan carrying a high-copper float sample at the occurrence and loosely associated with the anomalous 2004 samples in the West Valley. Elevated potassium and barium in the 2021 samples along that north-northwest trending lineament may indicate hydrothermal alteration. The occurrence itself consists of pyritic quartz veins and stringers carrying copper, lead, and silver with gold, and the 2021 float sample is chalcopyrite-rich.

Exploration began with a 1995 regional silt sample of 175 ppb Au from the creek draining the central basin. The 2004 Stealth Minerals prospecting program discovered the occurrence, a pyritic quartz vein subcrop returning 0.1% Cu and 1.08 g/t Au, with nearby quartz stringers at 0.2% Pb and 8.64 g/t Ag and float between 1 and 4.1 g/t Au.² Rock samples from the same program in the project database ran 1,734 g/t Ag with 231 ppm Cu and 1,694 g/t Ag with 1.30 g/t Au and 0.88% Pb, with silts to 258 ppm Cu. The 2021 program added the airborne magnetics, reconnaissance mapping, a test line of contour soils and nine float samples from the talus fan, which ran 5.53%, 2.29%, 2.20% and 1.38% Cu with silver to 24 g/t, gold to 0.85 g/t and molybdenum to 104 ppm.³ A 2025 multispectral satellite analysis then picked out the occurrence along with 46 other sites for inspection. During the 2026 exploration program the Company collected 4 grab samples from claim 1129845, 700 metres south of the Junkers mineral showing, where a 30m wide gossanous zone was identified including a prominent fault zone and silica and epidote veinlets with pyrite mineralization in the porphyritic andesite host rock. There has been no drilling or systematic soil sampling, and the southern claims have no sampling on record. Structural mapping and contour sampling at the exposed ends of the West Ridge, and reprocessing of the 2021 magnetics are the recommended next steps.
