Wesdome Intersects 7.8 g/t Gold over 57.2 Metres at Kiena Deep, Confirming the Norbenite Footwall Zone; Discovers a New Zone Near Infrastructure

Norbenite Footwall Zone Confirmed (Figures 4 and 5, Table 1) 1 A third broad intercept solidifies the recently announced discovery of the Norbenite Footwall Zone. N134-7207: 7.8 g/t Au uncapped over 57.2 m core length, (7.4 g/t Au capped, 57.2 m core length). Together with two prior holes - hole N134-7152W1 that intersected 6.9 g/t Au uncapped over 42.1 metres and historic hole 6752W10 that intersected 9.9 g/t Au over 83.2 metres - the Norbenite Footwall Zone now traces over 150 metres vertically with significant thickness and grade. Drilling at depth continues to delineate the new Norbenite Footwall Zone beyond the Norbenite Fault where mineralization has been traced over at least 150 vertical metres in basaltic rock and remains open up-plunge, laterally, and at depth, highlighting significant growth potential. VZ Zone and VZ Parallel Vein Discovery (Figure 6, Table 1) 1 The new VZ Zone opens a previously untested parallel trend less than 100 metres from existing infrastructure, with six holes confirming continuity. One exploration hole intersected a new parallel mineralized vein adjacent to the VZ Zone and less than 50 metres from existing infrastructure. N109-7213: 23.8 g/t Au uncapped over 4.0 m core length (23.8 g/t Au capped, 4.0 m core length) Six exploration holes confirm discovery of the new VZ Zone. N109-7017 (2025 hole): 4.9 g/t Au uncapped over 6.0 m core length (4.9 g/t Au capped, 6.0 m core length) N109-7204: 6.4 g/t Au uncapped over 7.0 m core length (6.4 g/t Au capped, 7.0 m core length) N109-7205A: 4.3 g/t Au uncapped over 4.0 m core length (4.3 g/t Au capped, 4.0 m core length) N109-7206: 4.6 g/t Au uncapped over 8.0 m core length (4.6 g/t Au capped, 8.0 m core length) N109-7213: 2.9 g/t Au uncapped over 3.7 m core length (2.9 g/t Au capped, 3.7 m core length) N109-7214: 3.4 g/t Au uncapped over 4.0 m core length (3.4 g/t Au capped, 4.0 m core length) 1 Assays capped at 90 g/t for Kiena Deep zones (assays capped). Anthea Bath, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "These latest positive results are meaningfully shifting how we think about the potential scale of Kiena Deep. The results provide growing evidence that the area hosts multiple recurring high-grade structures beyond the mineralized zones currently included in our resource model. However, the full extent and ultimate scale of the mineralized system remain to be determined. "Further growth of these zones has the potential to increase ounces per vertical metre, create new mining areas, and substantially change how we view the future scale and configuration of the mine." Jono Lawrence, Senior Vice President, Exploration and Resources, added, "At the Norbenite Footwall Zone, hole N134-7207 is our third broad high-grade intercept beyond the Norbenite Fault. Together, there are three holes that now trace mineralization over 150 vertical metres. The zone remains open laterally, at depth, and most importantly up-plunge across at least 300 vertical metres of largely untested ground toward the upper Footwall Zone and potentially beyond. The new level 134 exploration drive gives us the platform to test this opportunity systematically, and if scale and continuity is established, the Norbenite Footwall Zone could become a material contributor to the future of the mine. "Separately, drilling at level 109 has confirmed the emerging VZ Zone and identified an additional high-grade parallel vein in close proximity to existing infrastructure. These are distinct exploration opportunities that together support our interpretation of a broader system containing multiple high-grade lenses, many of which remain insufficiently tested. "The balance of this yea...
