ONGold Intercepts High-Grade Copper, Silver with Gold in Newly Identified Massive Sulphide Zone at Gold Ridge: 11.10% Cu, 218 g/t Ag and 4.45 g/t Au over 0.4 Metres in Hole GR-25-012

The news release dated January 19, 2026, announces final results from the 2025 diamond drilling program at the Ti-pi-ha-kaa-ning (TPK) project in Northern Ontario. The program comprised 9 holes totaling 2,169 metres. Key highlights include the identification of a new massive sulphide zone at the "West Discovery" area. Hole GR-25-012 intercepted 11.10% Cu, 218 g/t Ag, and 4.45 g/t Au over a narrow 0.4-metre interval within a broader mineralized envelope. Other results include 19.39 g/t Au over 8.2m (previously reported) at the "Discovery Zone." The program successfully extended known mineralization 1.0 km to the north and identified a 1,500m prospective gap between the West Discovery and Discovery zones.

• Diversification of Mineralization: The discovery of high-grade copper and silver (massive sulphides) adds a significant base metal component to a project previously viewed primarily as a gold target. This increases the potential economic attractiveness of TPK.
• Validation of Target Model: The results confirm that the Gold Ridge area is likely the source of the Keeley Lake gold grains-in-till dispersal train, a major historical geological anomaly in the region.
• Scale and Scope: Expanding the mineralized footprint by 1.0 km north and identifying a 1.5 km gap between zones suggests a much larger system than previously mapped.
• Cautionary Note on Width: While the grades are exceptional (11.1% Cu), the width is extremely narrow at 0.4 metres. In mining, narrow-vein high-grade intercepts require significant continuity to be economically viable.
• Operational Momentum: The company is moving toward a "wider drilling program for 2026," indicating a shift from proof-of-concept to resource definition.

ONGold Resources Ltd. is a Canadian explorer focused on district-scale gold and multi-commodity projects in Ontario and Manitoba. - TPK Project (Flagship): Located in Northern Ontario, it features one of the largest gold-in-till anomalies in North America. Recent drilling has identified high-grade gold and copper-silver massive sulphides. - Monument Bay (Major Asset): Acquired from Agnico Eagle in late 2024. It hosts a large historical resource of 2.3M oz Indicated and 0.72M oz Inferred gold. The company is actively working to add "overlooked" tungsten value to this project. - October Gold: A JV project where Evolution Mining can earn 75% by spending $7M.
