A2 Gold acquires 201 hectares by staking at Eastside

Executive Summary

• A2 Gold Corp. has expanded its 100%-owned Eastside gold project in Nevada by staking 24 new unpatented lode mining claims.
• The expansion secures approximately 201 hectares (496 acres) of highly prospective ground identified during a November 2025 geophysical survey, which revealed new anomalies along the eastern and southeastern margins of the known mineralized system.
• The newly acquired claims will be integrated into the company's 2026 exploration program, focusing on geological mapping, data integration, and drill testing of prioritized targets.

Key Details

• Staked 24 unpatented lode mining claims immediately adjacent to the existing Eastside claim block in Esmeralda County, Nevada.
• New claims cover approximately 201 hectares (496 acres), securing additional exploration upside along interpreted structural corridors and bedrock alteration favorable for oxide gold mineralization typical of the Walker Lane trend.
• Expansion driven by a November 2025 geophysical program that identified previously unrecognized anomalies outside the current claim boundary.
• 2026 exploration program will include: follow-up geological mapping and surface sampling, integration of geophysical data with existing drill and geochemical datasets, and drill testing of prioritized targets.
• Eastside remains the company's flagship project and one of the largest undeveloped gold resources in Nevada's Walker Lane trend.
• Qualified Person: John Marma, Certified Professional Geologist (AIPG), reviewed and approved technical content under National Instrument 43-101.

Notable Quotes

• Peter Gianulis, CEO: "The results of our 2025 geophysical program highlighted several compelling targets immediately outside our existing claim boundary. Staking these additional claims ensures we maintain control over the broader mineralized system at Eastside and positions the company to systematically explore these new targets as part of our ongoing exploration strategy."
