Gold Orogen Identifies High Priority Reduced Intrusion-Related Gold System (Rirgs) Drill Targets: Coincident Bismuth-Tellurium-Gold Anomalies

Executive Summary

• Gold Orogen Resources announced its 2026 exploration program for the Golden Culvert & WIN projects in Yukon, focusing on drilling and sampling of five high‑priority targets.
• The company highlighted historic grab sample results, including up to 8.5 g/t Au at the Border target and several sub‑0.2 g/t Au samples with associated pathfinder elements (As, Sb, Te, Bi).
• New discoveries from 2025 (e.g., the Spine target) and additional AI‑driven targeting work using SQUID‑T geophysics and VRIFY’s DORA platform were described, underscoring the technical rationale for the upcoming field season.

Key Details

• Targets for 2026 drilling:
• RIRGS targets – Border (highest priority), Steelhead, Stingray.
• Orogenic targets – Spine (new 2025 discovery) and Golden Dragon.
• Border target:
• Grab samples up to 8.5 g/t Au; many samples ≥ 1 g/t Au.
• Sheeted quartz veins over ~2 km × 300 m, density up to 10 veins/m.
• Magnetic highs correlate with hornfelsed rocks enriched in As, Te, Bi.
• Spine target:
• New 2025 discovery; no prior sampling before this season.
• Grab samples up to 0.111 g/t Au with visible galena and arsenopyrite.
• Three stacked quartz veins up to 1 m wide dipping north; linear magnetic high extending 6 km NW toward Golden Culvert target.
• Stingray target:
• Identified via 2024 SQUID‑T survey, 1.2 km SW of Spine.
• Grab sample up to 0.114 g/t Au with abundant pyrite; sheeted quartz veins near silicified fault breccia; elevated Bi and Te in shear zone.
• Steelhead target:
• Preliminary sampling shows elevated Bi and Te; flagged as potential RIRGS by AI targeting.
• Golden Dragon & Camp targets (New Brunswick):
• Elevated Au and Te values observed; slated for further investigation in 2026.
• Technical validation: Information reviewed and approved by Gary Wong, P.Eng., Vice President Exploration, qualified under NI 43‑101.

Notable Quotes

• “Our 2025 season laid the groundwork for a focused 2026 field program that leverages cutting‑edge SQUID‑T geophysics and AI‑driven target generation to advance our high‑potential RIRGS and orogenic targets.” – Wendy T. Chan, CEO & Director
