TOOGOOD GOLD COMPLETES PHASE 2 FIELDWORK AT TOOGOOD GOLD PROJECT, NEWFOUNDLAND
Toogood Gold Corp. has completed its phase 2 fieldwork program at its 100-per-cent-owned Toogood gold project, located on New World Island in the mining-friendly jurisdiction of Newfoundland, Canada.
Key point summary:
- Prospecting, rock and soil sampling, and geological and structural mapping completed at the newly acquired Golden Nugget property targeting an 8.5-kilometre-long high-grade outcrop trend with a subset of 148 historical rock samples that grade greater than or equal to one gram per tonne gold and average approximately seven g/t Au (see news release dated Oct. 1, 2025);
- Continuation of regional soil sampling within the underexplored northeastern block and infill sampling of anomalies return from phase 1 soil sampling;
- Ground-truthing of geophysical targets from the 2025 deep ground penetrating radar survey at the Quinlan zone (see news release dated Dec. 18, 2025);
- Phase 2 fieldwork was completed in four weeks, and all assays remain pending.
Management commentary
"Following a very successful 2025 exploration season, phase 2 marks the next step in systematically expanding our discovery footprint across the Toogood district," stated Colin Smith, chief executive officer of Toogood. "The combination of regional high-grade historical outcrop sampling at Golden Nugget, new geophysical targets at Quinlan and extensive underexplored ground to the northeast translates multiple near-term catalysts as we continue building momentum into 2026."
Phase 2 fieldwork
Phase 2 of the 2025 exploration campaign at the Toogood gold project comprised a comprehensive surface program integrating geological mapping, structural analysis, soil geochemistry and rock sampling across multiple high-priority areas. Work focused on three core components:
- Golden Nugget property mapping:
- Detailed geological and structural mapping along the 8.5-kilometre-long coastal trend at the recently acquired Golden Nugget property;
- Area is characterized by abundant high-grade historical outcrop samples (n equals 129) averaging seven g/t Au, with select values exceeding 127 g/t Au;
- This work will help to refine mineralization controls, verify historical data and identify extensions of the untested shoreline trend for future drilling.
- Soil sampling:
- Systematic soil sampling within the underexplored NE block continued, extending the regional grid coverage;
- Infill soil sampling grid (25-metre sample spacing, 100-metre line spacing) completed to further delineate an open-ended one-kilometre-long soil anomaly returned from phase 1;
- This soil anomaly is coincident with a prospective fault splay of a regional northeast-trending district-scale structure;
- The goal is to identify and delineate new anomalies throughout this previously unexplored ground, ultimately vectoring toward concealed district-scale mineralized corridors.
- DGPR targets:
- Follow-up field investigations of high-priority subsurface anomalies defined by the DGPR survey completed earlier this summer;
- Targets correspond to distinct breaks and reflective discontinuities interpreted to represent extensions of the felsic dike system that hosts the high-grade Quinlan and Titan zones.
Collectively, the program is designed to refine the structural and lithological framework of the district, expand the surface expression of known gold trends, and advance multiple targets to a drill-ready stage. Data from geological mapping, soil geochemistry and DGPR validation will be integrated into Toogood's evolving 3-D model to guide high-priority drilling in 2026.

About Toogood Gold Corp.
Toogood is a Canadian exploration company focused on the discovery and advancement of high-grade gold deposits in Newfoundland. The company holds a 100-per-cent interest in the district-scale Toogood gold project (164 square kilometres), strategically located within the highly prospective Exploits subzone -- a structurally complex and underexplored gold district that has yielded several recent high-grade discoveries.
The project's inaugural drill program in 2022 delivered a new, at-surface high-grade gold discovery, with visible gold encountered in 15 of 19 holes and mineralization remaining open in all directions (1). Follow-up drilling in 2025 continued to expand this system, intersecting visible gold in 10 of 30 holes and further confirming open-ended mineralization along strike and at depth (2).
The Toogood gold project benefits from exceptional infrastructure, including paved highway access, power lines, freshwater and proximity to deepwater ports, positioning the project for efficient, low-cost exploration and development.
