New University Sponsorship Agreement – Penn State University, USA

12 February 2026 – Delta Gold Technologies PLC («Delta» or the «Company»)
(Aquis: DGQ / OTC: DGQTF), a technology company developing intellectual property
in the quantum computing («QC») sector, is pleased to announce a Research
Sponsorship and exclusive Technology Licensing Agreement («TLA») with Penn State
University in Pennsylvania, USA («Penn State»).

Penn State’s recent published work includes structures and methods for quantum
computing using gold, which aligns closely with Delta’s research at the
University of Toronto.

This agreement forms part of Delta’s long-term strategy to build a global centre
of excellence and a world-class portfolio in quantum materials research across
leading universities.

Commercial Terms:

Delta Gold will sponsor a first year research programme estimated to be up to
USD $997,142 which will be paid to Penn State on a cost reimbursement basis. The
research will extend existing work on gold-based quantum technologies with the
aim of generating valuable intellectual property. The total cost reimbursable
contract is for up to USD $2,991,426 over three years.

In return for funding the programme, Delta will receive from Penn State an
exclusive, sublicensable, royalty-bearing licence to any resulting intellectual
property («IP»), permitting the Company to make, have made, use, import, offer
for sale, and sell products in all fields except Human Health (the «Licence»).
Delta will pay Penn State a running royalty of one percent (1%) on Net Sales of
licensed products once cumulative Net Sales exceed USD $20,000,000.

The Parties will collaborate in good faith on the enforcement or defence of IP
rights in any legal proceedings. The contract can be terminated by either party
on 60 day notice.

R. Michael Jones, Chief Executive Officer of Delta, commented:

«We are very excited to work with Penn State, a top American University with
extraordinary abilities in materials science and engineering. Amazingly,
independently they were investigating the properties of nano scale gold and
other materials for quantum computing at the same time as our work that is on
-going at University of Toronto with similar materials. Signing an agreement
with Penn State adds to our portfolio of potential IP and is a direct execution
step of our mission to establish a «Centre of Excellence» in Quantum Computing
Research. The opportunity for top universities to collaborate is extremely
exciting in the developing field.»

About Delta Gold Technologies

Delta is developing, with an option for an exclusive license, intellectual
property («IP») targeted towards the quantum computing («QC») space that can be
licenced globally. This technology will be centred around the usage of nano
-scale gold and other materials. Utilising the unique physical properties of
certain materials which are believed to have direct and significant applications
within the rapidly growing QC space.

This IP will be developed with top global nanotechnology and QC teams globally,
with the intention to further develop the IP, file provisional patents and
subsequently license the technology.
