Executive Summary

  • Advanced Gold provided a winter‑break update on its ongoing diamond drill program at the 100 % owned Buck Lake property in Ontario.
  • Three drill holes (BL‑25‑01, BL‑25‑02, BL‑25‑03) intersected VMS‑type mineralization to depths of 232 m, 117 m and 113 m respectively; core samples are being sent for assay.
  • The company plans an airborne VTEM geophysical survey in early 2026 to further delineate prospective zones.

Key Details

  • Drill Hole BL‑25‑01: Reached 232 m depth, NQ core at 290° azimuth / –55° dip; intersected VMS‑type mineralization from 93.8 m to 110.5 m.
  • Drill Hole BL‑25‑02: Reached 117 m depth, NQ core at 260° azimuth / –55° dip; intersected VMS‑type mineralization from 36.1 m to 42.0 m.
  • Drill Hole BL‑25‑03: Reached 113 m depth, NQ core at 260° azimuth / –65° dip; intersected VMS‑type mineralization from 33.4 m to 43.9 m.
  • All three holes encountered quartz vein zones with alteration minerals (ankerite, sericite, hematite, chlorite) and trace secondary pyrite‑pyrrhotite (up to ~2%).
  • Core Samples: 163 samples (totaling 187.78 m) from the three holes will be sent for laboratory analysis with certified reference materials under QA/QC protocols.
  • Program Status: Drilling paused for winter break; assay results pending and will be announced upon receipt.
  • Future Work: Review of a proposal from Geotech to conduct an airborne VTEM survey in early 2026, targeting electromagnetic and magnetic anomalies aligned with the property's VMS‑type stratigraphy.
  • Historical Context: 2022 program intersected high‑grade copper (with up to 98 g/t silver) and zinc mineralization in 13 of 15 holes; property hosts eight additional known mineralized occurrences, including a historic zone with 17 % zinc.

Notable Quotes

“We are pleased with the drilling thus far even in winter conditions… we shut down for Christmas break and eagerly await assay results and look forward to resuming in the new year.” – Arndt Roehlig, President & CEO

Materiality Assessment: Non‑Material – Neutral (operational update without disclosed financial impact).
