Independence Gold releases survey results at 3Ts

Executive Summary

• Independence Gold Corp. released results from a 2025 helicopter-borne airborne magnetic and radiometric geophysical survey covering the entire 3Ts gold and silver project in British Columbia.
• The survey refined geological models, identifying pluton-related structural frameworks that control known gold-silver veins and highlighting new exploration targets, including the "Ootsa Ring" and southern intrusive anomalies.
• The company simultaneously announced administrative updates, including the retention of Integral Wealth Securities for market-making services and the granting of 7.5 million stock options to directors, officers, and employees.

Key Details

• Survey Scope: Helicopter-borne airborne magnetic and radiometric survey completed in 2025 over the 3Ts project (31 claims, ~35,486 hectares) in the Nechako Plateau, BC.
• Survey Provider: Precision GeoSurveys Inc.
• Geological Findings:
  • First property-wide geophysical dataset for the consolidated tenure.
  • Confirmed regional geology and refined lithological boundaries.
  • Identified arcuate and radial structural features around Cretaceous-aged plutons, interpreted to control gold-silver vein systems.
  • Structural corridors extend beyond known veins, suggesting potential for additional vein discoveries and extensions.
  • Defined the "Ootsa Ring," a distinct ring-shaped structural feature associated with copper- and silver-dominant mineralization.
  • Identified new geophysical anomalies in the southern portion of the project interpreted as prospective intrusive bodies.
• Targeted Vein Systems: The survey supports the geological model linking the Tommy, Ted-Mint, Johnny, Larry, and Ian vein systems to a broader pluton-related structural framework.
• Next Steps: Follow-up work includes integrated geological mapping, geochemical sampling, ground geophysical surveys, surface trenching, and drill programs.
• Market Making: Retained Integral Wealth Securities Ltd. for market-making services on the TSX Venture Exchange.
  • Initial term: 3 months, auto-renewing monthly.
  • Cost: $6,000 per month, exclusive of taxes.
• Stock Options: Granted incentive stock options to purchase up to 7.5 million common shares.
  • Grant Date: January 26, 2026.

• Qualified Person: Andy Randell, PGeo, reviewed the technical information.

Notable Quotes

• "This survey significantly improves our understanding of the 3Ts gold-silver vein systems on a district-wide scale... This gives us confidence that the 3Ts resource area still has the potential for additional vein discoveries and extensions, while also highlighting previously unidentified new targets. This is exactly the kind of low-cost, high-value work that helps us focus on the future." — Randy Turner, President and CEO
