(via TheNewswire)

October 19, 2026 – TheNewswire - BRONCO RESOURCES CORP. (TSX-V: BRON ) (“ Bronco ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to report results from additional rock sampling at the Placer Mountain Gold Project , located in the Similkameen Mining District, near Princeton, BC.

The program returned 51.6 g/t gold and 228 g/t silver from angular blue quartz containing minor sulphides approximately 280 metres east of the Kodiak Zone discovery outcrop location .

The high-grade blue quartz occurs within the eastward projection of the Kodiak mineralized system coincident with a deep magnetic low, providing a compelling high-priority target for future drilling.

Rock Sampling Highlights

• 51.6 g/t Au and 228.0 g/t Ag at Kodiak Zone East Extension in blue quartz  

• 2.9 g/t Au and 15.7 g/t Ag, 350 meters east of Kodiak Zone showing

*Gold and silver values represent the highest reported analytical determination where multiple analytical methods were completed. Grab samples are selective by nature and are not necessarily indicative of similar mineralization the Property. Full analytical results from all rock samples collected in 2026 are available on the company’s website.

The blue quartz represents a newly recognized style of high-grade mineralization at Placer Mountain. Unlike previously recognized samples grading greater than 20 g/t Au, which have generally been associated with elevated iron content, this quartz vein contains very low iron and lacks the sulfide-rich character observed in other high-grade mineralization.

Dev Rishy-Maharaj, CEO of Bronco Resources, commented:

“The grade is obviously significant, but what makes this sample particularly interesting to us is how different it is from the other high-grade mineralization we sampled at Placer Mountain. Other samples grading above 20 g/t Au generally are associated with high iron percentages and a much more abundant sulfide component.

This new quartz vein is a different beast. It carries fifty plus grams per ton gold and very little iron or visible sulfide mineralization. That gives us an important piece of info as we continue to understand the different phases of gold mineralization, especially how they may be expressed in newly completed geophysical imagery. This detailed set of imagery will guide the next phase of drilling at the project.”

The Company continues to evaluate the relationship between the newly recognized blue quartz mineralization and the previously identified magnetic and non-magnetic phases at the Kodiak Zone.

Assay Laboratory Procedure

All analytical work was completed by MSA Labs, an independent ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory. Prospecting rock samples were analyzed for gold using the CPA-Au1 Photon Assay method together with FAS-111 fire assay and IMS-230 multi-element geochemistry. Soil samples were analyzed for gold by FAS-111 fire assay with AAS finish together with IMS-131 multi-element geochemistry. The laboratory employs rigorous internal quality assurance and quality control procedures including certified reference materials, blanks and duplicate analyses at prescribed frequencies to monitor analytical accuracy and precision. Individual analytical results are retained in the Company's assay database.
