Gold Orogen completes six drill holes at Williams Brook

Executive Summary

• Gold Orogen Resources Corp. announced positive results from its fall 2025 diamond drill program at the McIntyre Brook property in New Brunswick, confirming a mineralized structural zone that is likely the extension of the Williams Brook gold mineralization trend (Kinross-Puma's asset).
• The program completed six holes totaling 847.9 meters, with three holes intersecting gold mineralization, validating the company's exploration targeting model and indicating strong upside potential for the upcoming 2026 drill program.
• The 2025 field season was abbreviated due to government-enforced forest fire closures, leaving 50% of the targeted 3-kilometer strike corridor unexplored; the company plans to finalize the 2026 budget and drill targets with its joint venture partner.

Key Details

• Drill Program Scope: Six diamond drill holes completed, totaling 847.9 meters (m).
• Target: Tested for an extension to Kinross-Puma's Lynx zone along a three-kilometer (km) corridor of geochemical anomalies.
• Intersections:
  • Three out of six drill holes intersected gold mineralization.
  • Two holes (including MB25-02) intersected an altered structural zone.
  • One hole intersected a gold mineralized quartz vein.
• Significant Intercept:
  • Hole MB25-02 returned 1.12 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) over 4.85 m (core length; true width not yet determined).
• Exploration Context:
  • The 2025 field program was abbreviated due to New Brunswick government closures regarding forest fire risks.
  • Work was completed on only 1.5 km of the 3 km strike; 50% remains unexplored.
  • Previous exploration yielded grab samples up to 7 g/t Au (prospecting) and 6.1 g/t Au and 6.95 g/t Au (trenching).
• Future Plans:
  • A 2026 drill program is expected to launch in spring 2026 to intersect the likely plunge or rake of the mineralization.
  • The company is working with its joint venture partner to finalize the 2026 budget, exploration fieldwork, and drill targets for orogenic and RIRGS (reduced intrusion-related gold system) targets.
• Corporate Update: Kinross recently increased its equity stake in Gold Orogen.

Notable Quotes

• Bill Fisher, Director and Technical Committee Chair: "This first pass of drilling is encouraging in that we confirmed extension of the Kinross-Puma Lynx zone but needed more holes and depth to accurately pinpoint source of mineralization."
• Gary Wong, Vice-President of Exploration: "This successful proof-of-concept drill program is a vital step in the exploration success of any property and the results strongly indicate that we are onto a major mineralized system which we plan to systematically explore."
