A2 Gold drills 20 m of 2.9 g/t Au at Eastside

Executive Summary

• A2 Gold Corp. released assay results from three core drill holes at its 100%-owned Eastside gold-silver project in Nevada, demonstrating continued scale, continuity, and resource growth potential.
• Mineralization was extended to a vertical depth of 480 meters, approximately 70 meters deeper than previously known zones, with significant gold and silver intercepts across multiple intervals.
• The company is finalizing targets for an upcoming 18,000-meter RC drill program scheduled to commence around January 19, 2026, to support an NI 43-101 mineral resource update expected in early 2026.

Key Details

• Hole ES-331: Intersected 2.9 g/t Au and 9.8 g/t Ag over 20m (starting at 430m), including 4.9 g/t Au and 12.1 g/t Ag over 10.7m (from 439m). Additional intercepts include 2.3 g/t Au and 6.3 g/t Ag over 4.6m (from 458m) and 3.2 g/t Au over 4.6m (from 474m).
• Hole ES-337: Deviated ~70m from target; intersected 1.9 g/t Au over 3.0m (from 426.7m).
• Hole ES-338: Intersected 1.14 g/t Au and 16.3 g/t Ag over 16.8m (from 352m), including 5.0 g/t Au and 26.4 g/t Ag over 3.1m (from 358m).
• Depth Extension: Gold and silver mineralization extended to 480m vertical depth (~70m deeper than 2021 program), with 3.25 g/t Au and 3.37 g/t Ag over 4.6m ending at 478m.
• Drill Parameters: Cut-off grade of 0.15 g/t Au. ES-331 drilled vertical, ES-337 at 65°, ES-338 at 60°. True thickness and widths are not yet known.
• Future RC Program: 18,000m reverse circulation drill program scheduled to begin ~Jan 19, 2026. Focus areas include infill drilling at McIntosh and Castle, stepout drilling to expand the footprint, and testing high-priority targets from a recently completed project-wide geophysics program.
• Resource Context: Current inferred resource stands at 1.4 million ounces of gold and 8.8 million ounces of silver. An NI 43-101 mineral resource update is expected in early 2026.
• QA/QC: Samples analyzed via fire assay with atomic absorption finish (gravimetric reassay for >10 g/t Au) and ICP for silver/multielements. Rigorous QA/QC includes certified reference materials, blanks, and field duplicates.

Notable Quotes

• Peter Gianulis, CEO: "These drill results represent another important step in demonstrating the scale and quality of the Eastside system. The drill program was to test the vertical extensions beyond the 2021 drill program. Hole ES-331 was an exceptional hole and deepened known mineralization down a further 70 metres from our previously deepest hole."
• Peter Gianulis, CEO: "The upcoming RC program will focus on three core objectives: infill drilling at McIntosh and Castle to connect and strengthen existing subzones; stepout drilling at both areas to expand the mineralized footprint; and testing high-priority exploration targets generated from our recently completed, project-wide geophysics program."
