BLOSSOM GOLD ANNOUNCES APPOINTMENT OF VICE PRESIDENT, INVESTOR RELATIONS

Blossom Gold Inc. (formerly, 1290448 B.C. Ltd.) has appointed Brandon Throop as vice-president, investor relations, effective March 30, 2026.

Mr. Throop brings more than 15 years of capital markets and investor relations experience. Most recently, he served as director, investor relations, at New Gold Inc., where he was responsible for global investor communications and played a key role through the successful acquisition of the company by Coeur Mining Inc. in March, 2026. Prior to that, he was manager, investor relations, at Lundin Mining Corp. Before transitioning to investor relations, Mr. Throop spent more than eight years in equity research covering the metals and mining sector across all stages of exploration, development and production. He holds a bachelor of management and organizational studies specializing in finance from the University of Western Ontario and is both a certified professional in investor relations (CPIR) from the Canadian Investor Relations Institute and an Investor Relations Charter (IRC) holder from the National Investor Relations Institute.

Rick Winters, chief executive officer of Blossom, commented: "I am very pleased to welcome Brandon to the Blossom team. Brandon's extensive capital markets experience will be an important asset in advancing the Rosebud story with the investment community. We have begun to implement our strategy to enhance liquidity by pursuing a dual listing in the U.S. and are in the process of making our application to the OTCQX exchange, which will allow greater participation by investors. Brandon will be key in making a success of the dual listing effort. Blossom is starting to hit its stride. Our senior leadership team is coming together very nicely, with the remaining people expected to be in place in the coming weeks. Two rigs are currently drilling priority metallurgical PQ core holes as the start of our planned 80,000 feet (24,384 m) core drilling program. Two additional rigs are expected to be in operation by mid-April as drilling of infill, expansion, geotechnical and hydrological holes continues. The work to derisk Rosebud is well under way and a number of near-term key catalysts lie ahead of us. We expect to begin seeing drill results in the coming weeks that will continue regularly through Q3 2026. All metallurgical holes are expected to be under leach in columns by the end of April, 2026. Opening, rehabilitation and establishment of drill stations underground remains scheduled for the second half of 2026. My team and I look forward to providing updates on these catalysts and other milestones to the markets throughout 2026."

About Blossom Gold Inc.

Blossom is a Canadian-based precious metals exploration and development company that recently began trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol BGAU. Blossom acquired the Rosebud project in connection with the TSX listing and will be focused on the exploration and development of the project. The Rosebud project includes the former Rosebud mine, where mining was conducted from 1997 through 2000 by the Rosebud Mining Company, a Newmont-Hecla joint venture, using underground mining methods where the mine operated at a cut-off grade of approximately 0.2 ounce per tonne Au (gold) (6.8 g/t (grams per tonne) Au), when gold prices ranged from $250 (U.S.) to $350 (U.S.)/oz; with mined material truck hauled approximately 120 miles to an existing Newmont oxide mill for processing.

The current vision for the Rosebud project is to evaluate the remaining higher-grade mineralization and the surrounding larger volume of lower-grade mineralization as a potential open pit mining operation with on-site, heap-leach processing and recovery of gold and silver. The Rosebud project currently hosts an inferred mineral resource of 70,755,000 tons grading 0.68 g/t Au (0.018 opt Au) and 6.49 g/t Ag (0.189 opt Ag) for 1.28 million ounces of gold and 13.4 million ounces of silver. The mineral resource estimate was open pit constrained using long term gold and silver prices of $2,500 (U.S.) and $35 (U.S.) per ounce, respectively. The deposit is open in all directions.
