Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 22, 2026) - Arya Resources Ltd. (TSXV: RBZ) (the "Company" or "Arya") is pleased to announce that it is mobilizing its drilling crew to commence a follow-up drill program at its Wedge Lake Gold Project in Saskatchewan, targeting the high-grade Twin Zone and T-6 Zone.

This program follows the Company's recent drilling success at both zones, as announced:

Twin Zone results: AR25-09 (Nov 3, 2025)

• 3.86 g/t Au over 44.0 m (76.5-120.5 m) including:
  • 9.90 g/t Au over 16.0 m (89-105 m) and
  • 26.14 g/t Au over 3.80 m (94.6-98.4 m)

T-6 Zone results: AR25-10 (Oct 20, 2025)

• 21.59 g/t Au over 5.84 m (41.70-47.54 m) including:
  • 30.45 g/t Au over 4.06 m (43.48 - 47.54m)

The upcoming drill campaign is designed to build on these encouraging results by expanding known mineralized zones, testing depth and strike extensions, and further evaluating the scale and continuity of gold mineralization.

Two Distinct Styles of Gold Mineralization Identified:

Arya has identified two distinct styles of gold mineralization at the Wedge Lake Gold Project:

• T-6 Zone: Orogenic / Mesothermal gold mineralization

• Twin Zone: Iron Formation-hosted gold mineralization, comparable to major deposits such as Meadowbank, Lupin, and the Homestake Mine in South Dakota

The T-6 Zone represents a classic orogenic gold system, characterized by structurally-controlled quartz veining, alteration, and gold mineralization formed during regional deformation and metamorphism. This style is known globally for hosting large, high-grade gold deposits.

In contrast, the Twin Zone hosts gold mineralization within iron formation, a geological setting associated with some of the world's most significant gold camps. The style of mineralization at the Twin Zone shows strong similarities to:

• Meadowbank Gold Mine (Nunavut, Canada)

• Lupin Gold Mine (Northwest Territories, Canada)

• Homestake Mine (South Dakota, USA)

These analogs highlight the potential for large, long-life gold systems within iron formation-hosted environments

The Company will provide the market with further updates once drilling commences and as results become available.

The Company has approved the issuance of stock options to certain board members for a total of 155,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.35 per share.
