AURWEST RESOURCES STARTS EXPLORATION AT WEAVER GOLD PROPERTY

Aurwest Resources Corp. has commenced exploration at its Weaver gold property in southwestern British Columbia. An exploration team has mobilized to the project to conduct a program of geological mapping, geochemical soil and silt sampling, prospecting, and other works. The Weaver gold project is under option from Pacific Bay Minerals Ltd., the operator, whereby Aurwest can earn a 50-per-cent interest in the property over three years.

The property report reviewed by Aurwest on the Weaver gold property includes review of strong gold-in-soil anomalies from prior programs located well outside of the historic drill collars and underground workings. The goal of this initial exploration program is to further investigate the potential for extending the strike length of the main vein, identify potential parallel or crosscutting structures, and better understand the geological and structural controls of the historic high-grade gold occurrences.

The mobilized team, currently on site, will execute the program planning and preparation, which includes research on the previously completed historical drilling results and geology of the property, the preparation and compilation of updated project maps, the buildout of the project's GIS database, and the drafting of an exploration plan to align with the detailed report on the project prepared by geologist Kristian Whitehead, PGeo, with further details included in the previous press release issued by Pacific Bay Minerals on Jan. 27, 2026.

The Weaver gold property, located in southwestern British Columbia approximately 13 kilometres north of Highway 7 near Harrison Mills, has demonstrated notable gold and silver mineralization through historical drilling. Past campaigns have returned impressive intercepts, such as 16.6 grams per tonne gold and 91.9 g/t silver over 1.52 metres and 11.8 g/t gold and 44.6 g/t silver over 2.13 metres from the 1975 program, along with 8.61 g/t gold and 46.2 g/t silver over 3.05 metres and 2.06 g/t gold and 21.4 g/t silver over 6.10 metres from 1996 drilling. More recent 2018 results included 2.49 g/t gold and 7.52 g/t silver over 1.53 metres, underscoring the property's consistent mineralized intervals.
