WEST RED LAKE GOLD FILES NI 43-101 TECHNICAL REPORT FOR UPDATED ROWAN MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE

West Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd. has filed on SEDAR+ the independent technical report prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, for the updated 2026 mineral resource estimate (MRE) for the Rowan project, as well as a maiden MRE for the nearby Mount Jamie deposit, titled "Technical Report on the Updated Mineral Resource Estimates for the Rowan and Mount Jamie Deposits, Ontario, Canada," dated July 22, 2026 (with an effective date of June 1, 2026). Rowan is located in the Red Lake gold district of Northwestern Ontario, Canada.

The technical report was prepared by Sims Resources LLC and Fuse Advisors Inc., independent consulting firms, and is available electronically on the company's website and on SEDAR+ under West Red Lake Gold's issuer profile.

There are non-material differences between the MRE in the technical report and the information previously disclosed (see news release dated June 9, 2026). As part of the final reconciliation and application of rounding standards, as well as reporting based on proportional blocks as opposed to entire blocks in the completed technical report, the indicated and inferred mineral resources have been updated. As a result, the majority of the values presented in the attached table reflect minor, non-material increases.

The technical information presented in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Will Robinson, PGeo, vice-president of exploration for West Red Lake Gold and the qualified person for exploration at the West Red Lake project, as defined by NI 43-101. Mr. Robinson is not independent of West Red Lake Gold. The mineral resource disclosure summarized herein is derived from the independent technical work completed by Sims Resources and Fuse Advisors. The qualified person is not aware of any environment, permitting, legal, title, taxation, sociopolitical, marketing or other relevant factors that could materially affect the MRE.
