DRYDEN GOLD REPORTS ON DEEPER DRILLING AT SPYGLASS WITH 9.40 G/T GOLD OVER 4.60 METERS AT A TRUE DEPTH OF 330 METERS, PROVIDES MARKETING UPDATE

Dryden Gold Corp. has successfully expanded the Spyglass and Buccaneer high-grade zones downdip at Gold Rock. Four drill holes were completed testing the downplunge extension of the high-grade gold mineralization. At Spyglass on BM1, DGR-073 assayed 9.40 grams per tonne gold over 4.60 metres, including 78.40 g/t gold over 0.38 metre. DGR-073 also intersected Buccaneer on BM1 at 370 metres true depth. All four drill holes intersected visible gold (VG) at Spyglass in the locations predicted by the company's geological interpretation, providing additional support for the model and the continuity of Spyglass downplunge.

Highlights:

• Spyglass has been extended from approximately 190 metres to 330 metres vertical depth.
• Buccaneer has been extended from approximately 185 metres to 370 metres vertical depth.
• The expanded drilling has approximately doubled the interpreted size of the Spyglass zone, adding approximately 110 metres by 50 metres of mineralized footprint.
• Results provide additional confidence in the company's geological model.

DGR-073 also intersected Buccaneer, south of the modelled high-grade zone and assayed 0.95 g/t gold over 5.55 metres, including 7.70 g/t gold over 0.55 metre. Follow-up drilling will test the model to the north. The company's fully financed, 45,000-metre drill program will continue testing downplunge extensions of the known high-grade zones on its 15 mineralized structures, continue to identify new high-grade zones on strike and prove the continuity of lower-grade gold mineralization between high-grade zones at Gold Rock.

Trey Wasser, chief executive officer of Dryden Gold, commented: "The continued expansion of Gold Rock at depth is a very important achievement for the technical team. One of our key objectives of this drill campaign is to expand the known high-grade zones at depth and these four holes prove our model is working. Orogenic gold systems in Canada typically have very deep roots. At Red Lake and Kirkland, mining is approaching two kilometres. These significant results, down-plunge, almost double the interpreted depth of the high-grade zones (Figure 1). The scale of Spyglass was also expanded with the interpreted footprint increasing by approximately 5500 square metres. Larger than an American football field. Equally important, the footprint at Gold Rock continues to expand with 15 mineralized structures now discovered and the target area expanded to over one kilometre by 750 metres. These results increase our confidence in the model and support further testing of Gold Rock along strike and at depth.

Analytical laboratory and quality assurance/quality control procedures

The company is drilling NQ-size core. Samples are cut in half, with half going to the lab for analysis and half kept as a record. True thickness/widths of the mineralization are unknown; result intervals are reported as the drilled core lengths unless otherwise stated. All sampling completed by Dryden Gold within its exploration programs is subject to a company standard of internal QA/QC programs, which include the insertion of certified reference materials and blank materials and a level of duplicate analysis. Drill samples from the 2024, 2025 and 2026 programs were sent to Activation Laboratories, with sample preparation and analysis in Dryden, where they were processed for gold analysis by 50-gram fire assay with an atomic absorption finish and overlimits determined by fire assay with a gravimetric finish. Select samples were analyzed using metallic screens. Activation Laboratories systems conform to requirements of ISO/IEC Standard 17025 guidelines and meet assay requirements outlined for National Instrument 43-101.
