Exhibit 99.1

EM&T to Host Operational Showcase of the

Largest High-Performance Rare Earth Magnet Facility in Production Outside China on December 17, 2026, Anchoring Expansion to 10,000+ Metric Tons of Annual Capacity

The EM&T Board and executives will publicly

showcase the largest high-performance rare earth magnet facility in production outside China as U.S. defense, drone, and automotive demand

for non-China supply accelerates, ahead of January 1, 2027 DFARS sourcing restrictions and the planned U.S. expansion

MIAMI, FL, October 5, 2026 - Evolution

Metals & Technologies Corp. (“EM&T” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: EMAT), a U.S.-based critical

materials and advanced manufacturing company, today announced that the Company will publicly showcase the largest high-performance

rare earth magnet facility in production outside of China, at a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday, December 17, 2026, in Pohang, South

Korea. The flagship facility anchors the Company’s phased expansion of annual rare earth magnet production capacity, targeting

more than 10,000 metric tons, and positions EM&T as a scaled, non-China source of high-performance rare earth permanent magnets for U.S.

defense, unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), and automotive supply chains across the United States and allied markets.

Showcase Highlights:

● Largest high-performance rare earth magnet facility in production outside China, located in Pohang, South Korea

● Phased expansion targeting more than 10,000 metric tons of annual rare earth magnet production capacity

● Positioned ahead of DFARS 252.225-7052, effective January 1, 2027, restricting Chinese-origin rare earth magnets in qualifying U.S.

defense systems

● Follows the August 13, 2026 White House proclamation imposing a 100 percent tariff on the most sensitive foreign unmanned aircraft

and certain parts

● Strategic offtake and trade discussions with defense and automotive commercial partners on site

● Live magnet making, guided production-line tours, and an executive operational briefing on December 17, 2026

The operational showcase and ribbon-cutting

ceremony will take place from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. (KST) at the Company’s Pohang facility (46, Blue Seoro 2-gil,

Donghae-myeon, Nam-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Republic of Korea). Confirmed attendees include senior government dignitaries,

institutional investors, defense and automotive commercial partners, Company leadership, and international media. The program will

feature an executive operational briefing, guided technical tours of active production lines and live magnet making, formal

addresses by visiting dignitaries, and a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The afternoon will conclude with executive interviews, bilateral

discussions to explore strategic offtake and trade opportunities, and an executive networking reception featuring live music and

traditional Korean barbecue. A live webcast of the executive operational briefing will be available at

investors.evolution-metals.com.

“On December 17, we will publicly inaugurate

what we believe is the largest high-performance magnet facility in production outside of China,” said David Wilcox, Executive Chairman

of EM&T. “This is a first step in taking production the Company has already proven in Korea to the next level. With DFARS 252.225-7052

taking effect on January 1, 2027 to restrict Chinese-origin rare earth magnets in qualifying U.S. defense systems, and following the August

13, 2026, White House proclamation imposing a 100 percent tariff on the most sensitive foreign unmanned aircraft and certain parts, the

demand for secure supply chains is urgent. EM&T is built to serve as that definitive manufacturing solution for the United States

and its partnered commercial markets. Pohang is where that solution is already running at commercial scale, and it is the platform from which we

will build in the United States.”

“Our Pohang facility represents the operational foundation for

EM&T’s next phase of commercial growth,” said Frank Moon, Chief Executive Officer of EM&T. “The plant is intended

to support the expansion of annual rare earth magnet production to more than 10,000 metric tons per annum, from the operating base the

Company already runs in Korea. That is the scale this next stage of production requires. Defense, unmanned aircraft, and automotive customers

are seeking secure, non-China magnet supply, and Pohang is where EM&T is producing it today.”
