Banyan Intersects 1.44 g/t Au over 33.2m, within 104.4m at 0.82 g/t Au and Extends Mineralization Between Deposits, AurMac Project, Yukon, Canada

Executive Summary
- Banyan Gold reported multiple high‑grade intercepts from its ongoing 2025 drilling program at the Airstrip deposit, including a flagship interval of 104.4 m @ 0.82 g/t Au (with 33.2 m @ 1.44 g/t Au and 3.1 m @ 5.8 g/t Au) in hole AX‑25‑678.
- Additional holes (AX‑25‑659, ‑665, ‑670, ‑672, ‑674) returned several >1 g/t Au intervals, some exceeding 4 g/t Au over multi‑meter widths, indicating potential expansion of the mineralized envelope both laterally and down‑dip.
- The results support continued resource growth for the AurMac Project’s Airstrip deposit and suggest further high‑grade skarn mineralization at depth and near surface.
