Avanti Gold Reports Assays from Previously Unsampled Core at Akyanga, Including 29.4 m at 1.43 g/t Au from Surface and 9.9 m at 4.13 g/t Au

Avanti Gold Corp. (CSE: AGC) (FSE: X370) (OTCQB: AVTGF) is pleased to report assay results from eight historical diamond drill holes totaling 1,310.26 meters at the Akyanga Deposit on the Misisi Project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The previously unsampled historical core was re-logged, sampled and submitted for analysis as part of the Company's ongoing review of the Akyanga geological database. The results include several near-surface and higher-grade mineralized intervals that provide additional support for the interpreted continuity of multiple stacked mineralized structures within the Akyanga Deposit, particularly toward its southern portion. The results include several near-surface and higher-grade mineralized intervals that support the current geological interpretation, dipping towards the southern portion of the deposit across multiple parallel veins. Notable results from the historical drilling include: MSDD0130: 29.36 metres grading 1.43 g/t Au from surface; MSDD0130: 12.30 metres grading 2.87 g/t Au from 55.20 metres, including 0.60 metre grading 17.59 g/t Au and 0.50 metre grading 37.53 g/t Au; MSDD0130: 4.60 metres grading 3.94 g/t Au from 74.59 metres; MSDD0132: 9.90 metres grading 4.13 g/t Au from 133.60 metres, including 0.80 metre grading 37.71 g/t Au; and MSDD0133: 1.50 metres grading 18.52 g/t Au from 27.90 metres. MSDD0134: 1.9 meters grading 3.14 g/t Au from 106.0 metres MSDD0135: 3.5 meters grading 1.73 g/t Au from 18.8 metres The eight historical holes are located within the southern strike extension of the Akyanga mineralized system and were not previously supported by assay data. The results provide additional information between previously reported drill holes and support the current interpretation of multiple stacked mineralized structures. The holes do not test the principal areas targeted by the current 2026 drilling program; rather, they add geological and grade information along the southern strike extension that will be evaluated as part of future geological modelling and drill targeting. The completion of sampling and assaying of this previously unsampled historical core has added useful geological and grade information to the Akyanga dataset. The results include several meaningful near-surface and higher-grade intervals and provide additional support for our interpretation of multiple stacked mineralized structures. The results will be incorporated into our geological modelling and future drill targeting as we continue to advance the 2026 explorati.
