Aeternum Resources Announces the Restoration of Critical Access Road

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Aeternum Resources (OTC: AETND) (“Aeternum Resources” or the “Company”), a company aiming to become a highly strategic supplier of critical minerals, today announced that it has rehabilitated an eight-kilometre access road at its Gyel project in Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria. The completion of this restoration allows for the delivery of heavy machinery, and further development of essential infrastructure for the project site.

The access road is now able to accommodate trucks that can deliver large shipping containers. The Company can begin receiving essential mining equipment that has been constructed to specification such as the dredger and processing equipment for the gravity separation plant. The access road also further enables civil construction for the gravity separation plant and of electrical lines needed for the plant. The plant is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2027.
