Nordique begins base-of-till drill program at Isoneva

Executive Summary

• Nordique Resources Inc. has commenced its 2025 base-of-till (BOT) drill program at the Isoneva gold project in central Finland, marking the company's first drilling activity since optioning the project in June 2025.
• The program involves approximately 500 shallow vertical holes designed to collect till and bedrock samples across high-priority targets (Korpisalo, Ahveroinen, and Tiaskuru) to vector toward concealed bedrock sources of mineralization.
• The campaign is expected to last two to three months, with results directly informing a follow-up winter diamond drilling program scheduled for Q1 2026.

Key Details

• Drilling Method & Scope: The program utilizes a rotary air blast (RAB) rig to penetrate bouldery till, collecting samples from the base of till and top of bedrock. Approximately 500 BOT holes are planned on lines spaced 200–400 meters apart, with holes every 20–40 meters.
• Contractor: Drilling is being conducted by Moreenityo Macklin of Sodankylä, Finland.
• Technical Team: Led by Gemdale Gold Inc.'s technical team, which has over 20 years of regional exploration experience in Finland.
• Priority Target Areas:
  • Korpisalo: Strong gold-in-till anomaly with a sulphidic signature and coincident high-chargeability IP anomaly; never tested by systematic drilling.
  • Tiaskuru: High-grade quartz-carbonate veins in a structurally complex dilational zone. Historical boulder values up to 106 g/t Au. Historical drill results include 0.41 m of 54 g/t Au and 32.6 g/t Ag, and 0.44 m of 18.1 g/t Au and 6.7 g/t Ag.
  • Ahveroinen: Located along a prominent tonalite contact; hosts one of the densest concentrations of gold-bearing boulders on the property (up to 380 g/t Au and 98 g/t Au).
• Project Statistics: The Isoneva project covers 1,150 hectares (11.5 km²) in the western Finland gold belt. Over 200 boulder samples have graded above 1.0 g/t Au, averaging approximately 14 g/t Au, with individual assays returning up to 462 g/t Au.
• Future Plans: A follow-up winter program is scheduled for Q1 2026, including diamond drilling at priority areas identified through the BOT campaign and additional BOT drilling in zones accessible only during frozen ground conditions (e.g., Uunikangas target).
• Uunikangas Historical Data: Strong gold-in-till anomalies and boulder values up to 462 g/t Au. Historical drilling highlighted by 17.9 m of 4.3 g/t Au and 12.1 g/t Ag, including 2.1 m of 24.8 g/t Au and 77.6 g/t Ag.
• Qualified Person: Dr. Toby Strauss (CGeol, EurGeol), director of Gemdale Gold, is the Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101.

Notable Quotes

• "Launching our first drill program at Isoneva is an exciting milestone," stated Sharyn Alexander, chief executive officer. "With high-grade boulder trains, strong geophysical anomalies and a proven local technical team, we are systematically testing a very prospective and underexplored region in Finland. Results from this BOT program will directly inform our winter drilling and set the stage for steady news flow for shareholders. With a tight capital structure and exposure to a proven but underexplored district, Nordique is well positioned for discovery-driven value creation."
