Arya Resources finds visible gold at Wedge Lake

Executive Summary

• Arya Resources reports continued visible gold intersections in multiple new drill holes at the T‑6 zone and strong sulphide‑rich mineralization in the Twin zone of its Wedge Lake project.
• All recent T‑6 holes, except one, showed quartz veins with specks of visible gold; several intervals contain multiple specks or notable gold grains.
• Twin‑zone drilling confirms high‑grade sulphide percentages (up to ~80 % pyrrhotite) within quartz‑clast breccias and iron‑formation host rocks, supporting the potential for a banded‑iron‑formation style gold deposit.

Key Details

• T‑6 Zone – Visible Gold Intersections
• Hole AR25‑10: 20.40–21.05 m quartz vein with 3 specks of visible gold; 41.70–47.54 m quartz vein with 5 specks (partially cut by diabase dike).
• Hole AR25‑06: 53.15–54.28 m quartz vein with 1 speck of visible gold.
• Hole AR25‑05: 36.15–37.35 m quartz vein with 3 specks of visible gold.
• Hole AR25‑04: No visible gold observed.
• Hole AR25‑03: 68.44–70.24 m quartz vein with 5 specks of visible gold (previously reported).
• Hole AR25‑02: 55.02–58.11 m quartz containing >5 specks, including a ~0.4 mm gold grain at 55.55 m (previously reported).

• Hole AR25‑01: 32.55–34.76 m quartz vein with 5 specks of visible gold; 34.76–36.35 m quartz/carbonate veining with sulphides.

• Twin Zone – Sulphide‑Rich Intersections

• Hole AR25‑09 (Twin 82‑02):
  • 54.33–63.90 m: 65 % sulphide (dominantly pyrrhotite).
  • 106.80–107.50 m: 75 % pyrrhotite, 5 % pyrite.
  • 168.55–175.08 m: 80 % pyrrhotite, 5‑7 % pyrite.
• Hole AR25‑08:
  • 8.55–26.25 m: Massive sulphide (70‑80 %).
  • 26.25–37.50 m: 10‑15 % sulphide.
  • 61.02–75.02 m: 15‑20 % sulphide.

• Hole AR25‑07 (Twin‑83‑11):

  • 88.55–89.25 m: Chert breccia with 25 % pyrrhotite, 2 % pyrite.
  • 89.25–90.40 m: 3‑5 % pyrrhotite.
  • 90.40–91.65 m: 65 % pyrrhotite, 5 % pyrite.
  • 98.00–103.90 m: Sulphide‑facies iron formation (≈75 % sulphide).
  • 103.90–108.95 m: 20‑25 % pyrrhotite, 2‑5 % pyrite.
  • 142.04–147.55 m: 25‑30 % pyrrhotite, 2‑4 % pyrite.

• Technical Review – Information reviewed and approved by Kevin Wells, P.Geo., qualified person under NI 43‑101.

• Next Steps – All drill cores logged; holes AR25‑01 to AR25‑03 sent to lab for sample preparation; remaining cores awaiting logging.

Notable Quotes

“The continuation of visible gold at the T‑6 zone, alongside strong sulphide intersections in the Twin zone, provides further encouragement in this early stage of drilling at Wedge Lake,” – Rasool Mohammad, CEO, Arya Resources Ltd.
