Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – September 9, 2026) – West Point Gold Corp. (TSXV: WPG) (OTCQX: WPGCF) (FSE: LRA0) (“West Point Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it plans to start the next phase of drilling at the Gold Chain project in Arizona this month. The program will combine reverse circulation (“RC”) and core drilling for a total of 30,000m. The focus of the drill program is to expand both the high-grade NE Tyro and Tyro Main zones to depth and along strike. Additional targets are expected to include Black Dyke, Sheep Trail, Bull 8 and the Frisco Graben.

“Gold Chain is approaching a key milestone with its maiden resource, and this 30,000m program is designed to build on that foundation. The goal is to expand the high-grade NE Tyro deeper below 66.2 m at 6.57 g/t Au (GC26-148) while advancing Black Dyke, Sheep Trail, and the district-scale Frisco Graben target. Each represents an opportunity to grow the resource base beyond the upcoming initial estimate, which will only be based on the 20,696m drilled to date at Tyro,” stated Derek Macpherson, President & CEO.

Northeast (“NE”) Tyro
The best drill results at the Gold Chain project to date have been from NE Tyro. This shallow zone has returned significant grades and widths. Drilling in 2026 materially expanded this zone along strike and at depth, providing critical mass for the pending maiden resource. The next drilling phase at this zone will focus on pushing gold mineralization deeper and below some of the final high-grade holes from the most recent drill program (Target Area 1 – Figure 2). Additionally, the zone remains open to the northeast towards the Frisco Mine fault, the southwest boundary of the Frisco Graben target. West Point Gold believes that the Frisco Mine fault may serve as a regional conduit for mineralizing fluids, and moving toward the fault and downwards along the footwall is very prospective. Figure 2 shows the target areas at NE Tyro (Target Area 2). The amount of drilling at NE Tyro will be dependent on results.

Tyro Main Zone
Tyro Main is also expected to contribute materially to the maiden resource. Recent drilling at the Tyro Main Zone demonstrated weakening gold grades to depth; however, the alteration in those drill holes appears to more closely resemble what one would typically see above a low sulphidation epithermal gold zone, not below. As such, the plan is to continue testing the Tyro Main zone to depth (Target Area 3 – Figure 2) using two strategies: first, stepping down below the 2026 intercepts; and second, pushing the limits of Target Area 1 to the southwest and beneath the current Tyro Main mineralized zone.

Black Dyke Target
Black Dyke has evolved from a historical prospect into a credible second potential resource-development area at Gold Chain but will not be included in the maiden resource. Its shallow, low-angle geometry, along with its oxidized nature, could make it particularly attractive for potential open-pit development if additional drilling establishes sufficient scale and continuity. The zone is located approximately 4km west of the Tyro Main Zone along the Roadside Mine fault, which borders the southwest flank of the Katherine Horst. Alteration and vein textures observed in the shallow drilling suggest additional potential exists at depth, which has been supported by recently acquired historical drilling data.

Initial RC drilling has defined a shallow-dipping zone extending for at least 200m along strike and approximately 250m down-dip. Importantly, mineralization begins at or near surface, is largely oxidized, and remains open to the west and down-dip to the southwest. Initial drilling returned encouraging, relatively consistent widths and grades, highlighted by 36.6 m at 1.04 g/t Au (GC26-095) from surface, 21.3 m at 0.92 g/t Au (GC26-098), 7.6 m at 1.56 g/t Au (GC26-099), and 12.2 m at 1.09 g/t Au (GC26-101).

Drilling is planned to follow up on the high-grade historical results and continue expanding the zone towards the Roadside Mine fault.

Sheep Trail
Sheep Trail was the highest grade mine in the Katherine (North Oatman) District when it was last mined over 100 years ago. Recent drill results suggest that it is a third potential resource-development area at Gold Chain. Located approximately 600 metres south of the Tyro Main Zone, drilling at Sheep Trail has intersected broad zones of shallow gold mineralization within an extensive structural corridor that can be traced for more than one kilometre. Recent drilling has returned encouraging near-surface intersections, including 32.0 metres grading 1.05 g/t Au from only 9.1 metres depth (GC26-106), 19.8 metres grading 1.42 g/t Au from 51.8 metres (GC26-111), and 7.6 metres grading 2.41 g/t Au from 61.0 metres (GC26-113).

Importantly, mineralization remains open along strike, providing an opportunity to expand the system through additional drilling. Continued drilling will focus on expanding the known mineralized zones, testing extensions along the broader Banner-Sheep Trail trend and evaluating the potential for Sheep Trail to contribute meaningful additional ounces to the Gold Chain resource base.

Bull 8 Target
Bull 8 is an early-stage gold discovery located approximately 6 km northwest of the Tyro Zone. The prospect occurs along the northwest-trending Union Pass Fault Corridor characterized by strongly sheared, brecciated and altered Precambrian granite cut by fault-bounded dikes. Historical pits, adits and trenches occur throughout the prospect, with surface samples returning up to 2.09 g/t Au. Widespread quartz veining, hydrothermal alteration and anomalous gold occur along the broader Union Pass Fault Corridor, which extends for roughly 12 km across the property. The fault corridor is interpreted as a major pre-, intra- and post-mineral structural control on the broader Gold Chain mineralizing system. The 2026 drilling consisted of six RC holes totalling 856 m, with gold mineralization intersected in every hole. The standout result was GC26-136: 21.4 m at 1.01 g/t Au, including an estimated 18 m true width, beginning at 71.6 m depth. A second hole, GC26-130, returned 12.2 m at 0.41 g/t Au from only 6.1 m depth, demonstrating that mineralization also occurs close to surface.

Drilling is expected to follow up on the 2026 results and expand the zone to depth and along strike.

Frisco Graben
The Frisco Graben represents one of the largest and most compelling discovery opportunities at the Gold Chain Project. Located immediately northeast of the high-grade Northeast Tyro zone, Frisco Graben is a large-scale, concealed low-sulphidation epithermal gold target extending approximately four kilometres in length and up to 750m in width. The target lies at the intersection of the northeast extension of the mineralized Tyro structural corridor and the regionally significant northwest-trending Frisco Mine Fault, creating a highly prospective structural setting for the development of a substantial gold system (Figure 4).

Exploration at Frisco has identified widespread, intense hydrothermal alteration associated with rhyolite dikes, flow domes, volcanic rocks, and major graben-bounding structures. Initial drilling encountered broad zones of deeply oxidized kaolinite-silica-hematite alteration in the hanging wall of the Frisco Mine fault. Prior drilling intersected anomalous gold and elevated mercury, an important pathfinder element in low-sulphidation epithermal systems. Hyperspectral and geochemical studies indicate that the initial drill holes remained within the upper, steam-heated portion of the hydrothermal system, suggesting that the prospective gold-bearing boiling zone may occur deeper and remains largely untested.

Drilling conducted in 2026 at NE Tyro reveals that gold mineralization is extending toward and plunging into the footwall of the Frisco Mine fault. This provides West Point Gold the opportunity to follow mineralization into and beneath the Frisco Graben domain. Recognizing the complex structural and hydrothermal history at Gold Chain, determining the relationship between gold mineralization in the footwall and steam-generated alteration in the hanging wall of the Frisco Mine fault is an important objective in the 2026-2027 drilling campaign.

Edmonton, Alberta–(Newsfile Corp. – September 8, 2026) – Grizzly Discoveries Inc. (TSXV: GZD) (FSE: G6H) (OTCQB: GZDIF) (“Grizzly” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that preliminary results for a Phase 2 sampling program conducted in June 2026 to follow up trenching conducted at the Midway Precious Metals and Critical Minerals Target and Induced Polarization (“IP”) chargeability results at the Sappho Critical Minerals Target (Figure 1).

Highlights

• Significant Gold and Silver from chip samples in a trench extending the Main Midway Mine trend with up to 22.8 grams per tonne (g/t or ppm) gold (Au) and up to 1,120 g/t silver (Ag) (Figures 2 and 3; Table 1).
• Additional samples in trenches immediately east of the Main Midway Mine with up to 1.7 g/t Au and to the southwest with up to 2.7 g/t Au. Drilling is set to test these anomalous samples and the historical Midway Mine this fall, 2026 (Figures 2 and 3; Table 1).
• The Midway area is a window into the Paleozoic – Triassic rocks through the Toroda Graben and Tertiary volcanics that fill the graben.
• Follow up sampling in the vicinity of the Sappho Chargeability Anomaly identified in early to mid 2026 (See Company News Release dated July 6, 2026) has yielded 4.73 g/t Au from quartz float at the headwaters of Norwegian Creek but coincident with the northeast edge of the anomaly (Figure 4).
• Host rocks in the area are mapped as late Paleozoic to Early Triassic metasedimentary rocks including carbonates and calcareous shales. A number of dykes, stocks and large intrusions are mapped in the area and likely range from Jurassic to Cretaceous to Eocene in age.
• The Geological Setting is the East Fault Contact of the Toroda Graben with numerous pyroxenite-monzonite-diorite (older – Jurassic) and younger quartz-feldspar porphyry (QFP)-diorite (Tertiary) intrusions into the sedimentary package and the overlying younger intermediate-mafic volcanics.
• The East and West Faults of the Toroda Graben likely played a role in controlling the Au-Ag mineralization for the Buckhorn Skarn and Mine to the southwest and the Cu-Au-Ag mineralization for the Motherlode/Greyhound skarns in the Greenwood area (Figure 1).
• Permitting of drill locations to test the Sappho Chargeability Anomaly is underway. The Company is planning to complete an initial drill test this fall, 2026.

The Company is currently in the process of permitting additional drillhole pads to complete drill testing of a number of the chargeability targets during a fall drilling program at the Motherlode Critical Minerals Target area along with potentially the Sappho Critical Minerals Target area and the Midway Precious Metals – Critical Minerals Target area. Further IP work, geological mapping and surface sampling centered on several of the targets is planned prior to the commencement of drilling.

Summary of the Midway Mine Area

• At Midway, selective rock grab and composite rock grab samples collected during 2022 from outcrop at the Midway Mine-Picturestone area, yielded a range of 12.05 g/t or 0.351 ounces per ton (opt) Au up to 70.8 g/t (2.065 opt) Au (See Company news release dated October17, 2022 and Figure 5 below).
• Three (3) of the 7 selective rock grab samples from the Midway Mine yielded from 1,360 g/t Ag (39.7 opt) up to 2,140 g/t Ag (62.4 opt) (see Company news release dated October 17, 2022).
• Two new showings identified in 2023 near the historical Midway Mine including up to 5.64 g/t Au (0.165 opt) from a showing 400 m to the north of Midway and up to 4.19 g/t Au (0.122 opt) from a grab sample collected about 375 m to the west of the Midway Mine.
• At least 6 new areas with anomalous gold (> 100 ppb), copper (>200 ppm) and silver in soils have been identified at Midway in work conducted between 2022 and 2024.
• The Midway area is being targeted for copper-gold skarn and epithermal gold-silver.
• All highly anomalous samples are from outcrop and characterized by the presence of abundant pyrite, arsenopyrite with visible galena and sphalerite in a siliceous chalcedonic host. The mineralization is hosted in polymetallic veins that display the presence of Pb, Zn, Cu, arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb) and are likely epithermal in nature.
• A selective rock grab sample from outcrop 200 m west of the main Midway Mine yielded 15.85 g/t Au (0.462 opt) and 1,530 g/t Ag (44.6 opt), illustrating that there is potential for additional high-grade mineralization in the area.

ASSAY METHODOLOGY & QUALITY CONTROL (QA/QC)

The analytical work on the Greenwood Critical Minerals Project was performed by the ALS Global Limited in Kamloops and North Vancouver, an internationally recognized analytical service provider. All core and rock samples were prepared using ALS procedure PREP-31A (dry, crush to 70% passing 2mm, riffle split off 250g, pulverize split to better than 85% passing 75 microns) and analyzed by method PGM-ICP27 (30g fire assay with ICP finish for Au, Pt and Pd) and ME-ICP61a (0.5g, four acid digestion and ICP-AES/MS analysis) for multi-elements. Any samples containing >10g/t Au are reanalyzed using method FAS-415 (30g Fire Assay with gravimetric finish). Samples containing >100 ppm Ag and/or >1% Cu, Pb, & Zn are reanalyzed using method ICF-6 (0.2g, 4-acid digest and ore grade ICP-AES analysis). Rock samples were analyzed using Au-ICP21 (30g fire assay with ICP-AES finish) and multi-elements using ME-ICP41 (0.5g, aqua regia digestion and ICP-AES analysis).

The reported work has been completed using industry standard procedures, including a quality assurance/quality control (“QA/QC”) program consisting of the insertion of certified standards, blanks and duplicates into the sample stream by APEX personnel. The ALS geochemical laboratory data was provided directly to APEX and the QP and has been verified by the QP.

Coyote Copper Mines (TSXV:CCMM) is advancing an ambitious exploration programme at its Copper Springs property, with recent geophysical work, surface mineralisation and a newly identified zone pointing towards the potential for a much larger copper system at depth.

For copper explorers, one of the most important questions is whether a known historic resource represents the full extent of mineralisation, or simply the beginning of something considerably larger.

At Coyote Copper Mines, the company believes Copper Springs could offer that kind of potential.

The exploration opportunity has also attracted attention from Optimo Research, which has highlighted the combination of Copper Springs’ historic copper resource, the newly identified zone and the large geophysical anomalies across the property. The research points to the potential significance of the upcoming exploration programme, particularly as drilling begins to test whether the mineralisation identified at surface forms part of a much larger porphyry copper system at depth.

Read the full Optimo Research report here

With extensive geophysical surveys completed across the property and an active field programme underway, the company is now preparing for drilling designed to test both shallow mineralisation and deeper targets that could reveal the scale of the underlying system.

Speaking about the project, Dan Weir, CEO of Coyote Copper Mines, highlighted the significant amount of exploration work already being undertaken at Copper Springs, including magnetotelluric (MT) and spectral induced polarisation (SIP) surveys.

“We’re currently having every single day about 11 geologists and labourers out working on the property,” Weir explained, underlining the level of activity currently taking place on the ground.

Geophysics points to significant exploration potential

The company’s exploration programme has generated a number of large geophysical anomalies across the property, providing targets for the next phase of drilling.

According to Weir, the results have increased the company’s interest in the potential for a substantial porphyry copper system beneath Copper Springs.

The upcoming drilling programme is therefore expected to play an important role in testing the company’s geological model, with a combination of shallow and deeper holes planned.

The objective is to establish whether the mineralisation identified at surface continues into a larger system at depth.

For investors, this represents an important potential catalyst: successful drilling could provide the geological evidence needed to demonstrate that Copper Springs extends well beyond its historic resource footprint.

Newly identified zone adds another layer of upside

Adding to the exploration story is a newly identified zone containing surface copper-molybdenum sulphides and magmatic breccias.

The presence of these features is particularly interesting because they may represent part of a broader mineralised system extending below surface.

Rather than being confined to a shallow mineralised occurrence, the company believes the surface indications could potentially be associated with a much larger sulphide system at depth.

This is where the forthcoming deep drilling programme becomes particularly significant.

The first deep holes will provide an opportunity to test the company’s interpretation of the geophysical data and determine whether the anomalies correspond to substantial copper mineralisation.

Location provides an important geological reference point

Coyote Copper’s exploration thesis is also supported by the property’s proximity to one of the world’s most significant undeveloped copper projects.

Copper Springs is adjacent to the Resolution Copper project in Arizona, a major development being advanced by Rio Tinto and BHP.

Resolution is a very large, deep-seated copper deposit, providing an important geological reference point for the region.

Weir pointed to the depth and scale of Resolution when discussing the potential significance of Coyote Copper’s geophysical results, noting that some of the company’s work indicates the possibility of a similarly substantial system at depth.

While exploration results at Copper Springs will ultimately determine the property’s potential, the geological setting provides an intriguing backdrop for the company’s current programme.

Copper at surface could be a major advantage

One of the aspects of Copper Springs that particularly stands out is the presence of sulphide mineralisation at surface.

Weir contrasted this with the considerable depth at which mineralisation occurs at Resolution.

For Coyote Copper, the combination of surface mineralisation and deep geophysical anomalies creates an exploration model that the company believes warrants systematic testing.

The key question now is whether the surface expressions, newly identified zone and geophysical anomalies are all connected to a larger porphyry copper system.

Drilling will be critical in answering that question.

Drilling could define the next phase of the story

With field teams active on the property and geophysical work helping to identify priority targets, Coyote Copper is moving towards a potentially important exploration phase.

The company intends to use both shallow and deeper drilling to test the Copper Springs system from multiple angles.

For investors following the company, the forthcoming drill results could therefore provide a series of important milestones, from confirming the continuity of known mineralisation to potentially demonstrating the presence of a much larger copper system at depth.

The combination of a historic copper resource, newly identified surface mineralisation, extensive geophysical anomalies and a strategically interesting geological setting gives Copper Springs a compelling exploration proposition.

As Coyote Copper moves from target generation towards drilling, the focus will increasingly turn to what lies beneath the surface, and whether the company’s exploration model can unlock a significantly larger copper opportunity.

With exploration activity accelerating, Copper Springs is entering an important stage in its development, with drilling now set to test the scale and continuity of the mineralised system and potentially reshape the company’s growth story.

The Netherlands has moved its gold from the US to Britain because of “increasing geopolitical unrest”.

The Dutch central bank has relocated 86 tonnes of the precious metal to the Bank of England, mostly from New York, as part of its process of “strengthening its crisis preparedness”.

De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB), the country’s central bank, said better distribution of the gold would make it easier to trade and spread risks, and would make it more readily available to use in a crisis.

DNB made no mention of what kind of crisis it was preparing for. However, fears that Donald Trump could impose a tariff on gold previously triggered a scramble to move it out of the US.

Future prices in New York rose to a premium of more than $100 (£74) compared to London as banks, refiners and dealers raced to secure metal for delivery.

Mr Trump eventually clarified that gold would be exempt from tariffs. However, analysts warned that the episode might undermine New York’s position as the largest gold-futures market.

Bullion has historically been exempt from any tariffs because of its important role in the financial system.

“With this relocation, we have improved the tradability of our gold reserves. We expect that we will never need to use them, but we do need to strengthen our resilience and preparedness,” Olaf Sleijpen, the governor of the DNB, said.

The Netherlands held 612.4 tonnes of gold by the end of 2025, worth €72.2bn (£61.9bn). The bank relocated a portion of the reserves between March and August this year.

“In view of increasing geopolitical unrest, DNB is strengthening its crisis preparedness. Improving the liquidity and tradability of the Dutch gold reserves is part of these preparations,” the bank said in a statement.

The UK operates one of the world’s most important gold markets and the Bank of England’s underground vaults hold the second-largest haul of gold in the world.

A recent survey by the World Gold Council found that 57pc of responding central banks stored some gold at the Bank of England, making it the most widely used foreign custodian.

This includes Venezuela, whose gold has been kept in the UK despite requests from Nicolás Maduro’s government to repatriate it.

At the time of his ousting earlier this year, a lack of formal recognition of Venezuela’s new administration meant that the Bank of England declined to release the gold – then worth more than $3bn.

Maduro, the former Venezuelan president, attempted to retake the gold stored at the Bank in 2018 to prop up his nation’s collapsing economy. However, the Bank refused the request because the UK did not recognise him as Venezuela’s legitimate president.

The Maduro government sued for the return of the precious metal in 2020, but ultimately lost the case in the Supreme Court in 2023.

Edmonton, Alberta–(Newsfile Corp. – September 2, 2026) – Grizzly Discoveries Inc. (TSXV: GZD) (FSE: G6H) (OTCQB: GZDIF) (“Grizzly” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that preliminary results for a Phase 2 Induced Polarization (IP) program conducted in April and May 2026 to follow up excellent prior results from both recent and historical surface sampling along with historical drilling results at the Motherlode Critical Minerals Target (Figure 1).

Highlights

• Phase 2 Motherlode IP results identifies at least five (5) Discreet Chargeability Anomalies with four (4) of the anomalies yielding numerous readings in the core of each ranging from 30 up to 52 millivolts per volt (mV/V). The results have outlined several discreet and significant chargeability anomalies in the vicinity of the Greyhound Pit, the Sunset Pit and the Motherlode Pit. (Figures 2 and 3).
• A couple of the Chargeability anomalies are on the order of 1 km by 500 m in current size and are open for further expansion (Figures 2 and 3).
• Most of the chargeability anomalies have associated moderate to strong copper (Cu) and gold (Au) in soils and in rocks (Figure 2). Each of the pit areas have yielded numerous samples anomalous in Cu (>1% up to 5%) and Au (>1 g/t up to 20 g/t) with strong skarn mineralization.
• Host rocks in the area are mapped as late Paleozoic to Early Triassic metasedimentary rocks including carbonates and calcareous shales. A number of dykes, stocks and large intrusions are mapped in the area and likely range from Jurassic to Cretaceous to Eocene in age.
• The Geological Setting is the East Fault Contact of the Toroda Graben with numerous pyroxenite-monzonite-diorite (older – Jurassic) and younger quartz-feldspar porphyry (QFP)-diorite (Tertiary) intrusions into the sedimentary package and the overlying younger intermediate-mafic volcanics.
• The East and West Faults of the Toroda Graben likely played a role in controlling the Au-Ag mineralization for the Buckhorn Skarn and Mine to the southwest and the Cu-Au-Ag mineralization for the Motherlode/Greyhound skarns in the Greenwood area (Figure 1).
• Permitting of drill locations to test the new anomalies is underway.

A total of eight north-south lines spaced 200 m apart and totaling 12.9 line km of Induced Polarization (IP) were conducted by Peter E. Walcott and Associates in late April through May, 2026 (Figure 2). The results have outlined several discreet and significant chargeability anomalies in the vicinity of the Greyhound Pit, the Sunset Pit and the Motherlode Pit. It is interpreted that the strong chargeability anomalies likely represent disseminated sulphides and potentially represent intrusion related skarn and/or porphyry targets (Figures 2 and 3).

The Company is currently in the process of permitting additional drillhole pads to complete drill testing of a number of the chargeability targets during a fall drilling program at the Motherlode Critical Minerals Target area along with potentially the Sappho Critical Minerals Target area and the Midway Precious Metals – Critical Minerals Target area. Further IP work, geological mapping and surface sampling centered on several of the targets is planned prior to the commencement of drilling.

• A new sulphide showing was discovered during early 2026 field work, with a rock grab sample from an old adit yielding 5.12 grams per tonne (g/t) Au, 66.7 g/t Ag and up to as high as 0.53% Cu (Figure 2 and see Grizzly news release dated May 25th, 2026).

Brian “Griz” Testo, President & CEO of Grizzly Discoveries, states: “IP Surveys have outlined multiple and significant chargeability anomalies and new targets across the Motherlode Project Area. The Grizzly team is excited to see what the next phase of drilling might show us – we will continue to refine these targets to the drill ready stage for drilling in the next couple of months and look forward to identifying some new discoveries.”

Ongoing Exploration

The Company is continuing with surface exploration in the Greenwood area. Crews from APEX completed trenching and rock sampling in June at the Midway Mine area, as well as some follow sampling at the Sappho Chargeability Target area. The 2026 exploration work was suspended in July and August during high fire season but has recommenced and will be ongoing through the fall and includes prospecting and rock sampling at targets in the Motherlode area, the Rock Creek area, the Midway area, the Copper Mountain area, the Overlander-Attwood area and at the Sappho area (Figure 1). Additional groundwork including ground geophysical surveys are being planned and will comprise IP, magnetics and Loupe electromagnetics (EM) for the Sappho, the Midway and Motherlode areas (Figure 1). Additional drilling is planned from October to December. Results from the 2026 work are pending and will be released as they are received.

Motherlode Area Past Exploration Highlights

The Motherlode Crown Grants near the town of Greenwood, South-Central British Columbia (BC) include 13 Crown Grants for over 300 acres (121.4 hectares) that include subsurface mineral rights (Figure 2). The Crown Grants take precedence over mineral claims issued pursuant to the Mineral Tenures Act (BC). The Crown Grants cover a number of historical mines, including the Motherlode Mine that produced 76,975,111 pounds of Cu, 173,319 ounces of Au and 688,203 ounces of Ag during the active periods of mining from 1900 to 1920 and then from 1957 to 1962. The Motherlode skarn mineralization is developed in the Triassic Brooklyn Formation sediments (BC Minfile 082ESE034). The Motherlode Mine is road accessible and is approximately 2.5 km northwest of the town of Greenwood (Figure 1).

The Company has collected in excess of 350 rock samples, mostly selective grab samples, from across the Motherlode project area including the Crown Grants (Figures 2). Of the 17 samples collected from the Motherlode Pit area, a total of 9 samples yielded from 1.16% Cu up to 4.88% Cu, 12 samples yielded from 1.075 grams per tonne (g/t) Au up to 6.65 g/t Au and 8 samples yielded from 12.6 g/t Ag up to 51.3 g/t Ag (See Company News Release dated January 15, 2025). Of the 10 samples collected from the Sunset Pit area, a total of 8 samples yielded from 1.44% Cu up to 3.66% Cu, 9 samples yielded from 1.7 g/t Au up to 4.88 g/t Au and 7 samples yielded from 14.5 g/t Ag up to 55 g/t Ag (See Company News Release dated January 15, 2025). Various other targets including the Greyhound Pit, the Butte City Target, the Marguerite Target and the Great Hopes Target have yielded a number of samples with >1% Cu and >10 g/t Au and warrant additional exploration (See Company News Release dated January 15, 2025).

Past work by the Company has focused on the Motherlode North polymetallic and skarn targets (Figures 1 to 3) which are comprised of copper-gold-silver +/- lead-zinc (Cu-Au-Ag +/- Pb-Zn) targets 500 to 750 m north and northeast of the historical Motherlode Mine.

Prior drilling by Grizzly in 2011 intersected up 17.15 g/t Au, 41.7 g/t Ag, along with, 0.56% Pb and 1.51% Zn over 1.5 m core length at one of the skarn targets north of the Motherlode Pit. Skarn and sulphide rich mineralization, along with widespread hornfels and propylitic alteration were intersected in most of the more recent 2022 Motherlode North drilling (22ML07 to 15) and the two (22MR01 & 02) Marguerite core holes (Figures 2 and 3). Assay results for the nine Motherlode North 2022 holes have yielded anomalous Au, Ag, Cu, Pb and Zn in every hole with a best high-grade sample of 5.86 g/t Au and 6.36 g/t Ag over 1 m core length along with several wide low-grade intersections in particular adjacent to porphyritic intrusions in Triassic sulphide rich hornfelsed or skarnified Brooklyn sedimentary rocks. Examples include hole 22ML07 with 0.415 g/t Au, 2.19 g/t Ag, 0.019% Cu and 0.08% Zn over 17.56 m core length, along with hole 22ML08 with 0.108 g/t Au, 2.43 g/t Ag, 0.013% Cu and 0.059% Zn over 11.09 m core length and 0.332 g/t Au, 2.63 g/t Ag and 0.053% Zn over 15 m core length, interpreted to be part of a large alteration footprint in a well mineralized skarn-porphyry system.

The porphyritic intrusions are widespread and are likely Cretaceous or Eocene in age. Sulphide mineralization with anomalous geochemistry appears to be spatially associated with these intrusions. The two holes in the vicinity of the Marguerite historical shaft intersected near surface skarn with anomalous Au-Ag-Cu and deeper hornfelsed sediments and breccias that are silica-sulphide rich and with widespread anomalous Cu over 50 to 100 m in thickness (Holes 22MR01 and 02). The deeper mineralization is associated with propylitic alteration and potentially could highlight deeper copper-gold porphyry potential beneath the Motherlode area skarn system. Holes 22MR01 and 22MR02 returned upper skarn related zones of 0.442 g/t Au, 5.61 g/t Ag and 0.028% Cu over 5.32 m, and 0.227 g/t Au, 4.36 g/t Ag and 0.037% Cu over 9.5 m core length. The lower highly anomalous copper-gold rich zones are highlighted by 0.123 g/t Au, 2.06 g/t Ag and 0.127% Cu over 8 m core length in hole 22MR02, but this is contained within a 46 m wide zone to the end of the hole where all but 4 of 45 samples yielded >100 ppm Cu up to 1,980 ppm Cu. Similarly, in hole 22MR01, there was a lower zone of copper rich mineralization that is 119 m in thickness to the end of the hole where 80 of 116 samples yielded >100 ppm Cu up to 1,600 ppm Cu. Although low grade, the wide highly anomalous intersections of low to moderate grade gold and copper are likely indicative or part of a large mineralized hydrothermal system.

Warrants Exercised

In July 2026, the Company issued 1,183,335 common shares upon the exercise of outstanding warrants for gross proceeds of $59,167. Pursuant to the exercise of warrants, the Company has 234,021,369 common shares issued and outstanding.

ASSAY METHODOLOGY & QUALITY CONTROL (QA/QC)

The analytical work on the Greenwood Critical Minerals Project was performed by the ALS Global Limited in Kamloops and North Vancouver, an internationally recognized analytical service provider. All core and rock samples were prepared using ALS procedure PREP-31A (dry, crush to 70% passing 2mm, riffle split off 250g, pulverize split to better than 85% passing 75 microns) and analyzed by method PGM-ICP27 (30g fire assay with ICP finish for Au, Pt and Pd) and ME-ICP61a (0.5g, four acid digestion and ICP-AES/MS analysis) for multi-elements. Any samples containing >10g/t Au are reanalyzed using method FAS-415 (30g Fire Assay with gravimetric finish). Samples containing >100 ppm Ag and/or >1% Cu, Pb, & Zn are reanalyzed using method ICF-6 (0.2g, 4-acid digest and ore grade ICP-AES analysis). Rock samples were analyzed using Au-ICP21 (30g fire assay with ICP-AES finish) and multi-elements using ME-ICP41 (0.5g, aqua regia digestion and ICP-AES analysis).

The reported work has been completed using industry standard procedures, including a quality assurance/quality control (“QA/QC”) program consisting of the insertion of certified standards, blanks and duplicates into the sample stream by APEX personnel. The ALS geochemical laboratory data was provided directly to APEX and the QP and has been verified by the QP.

Copper slipped in New York on Tuesday, giving back an advance in London, as a global bond selloff and a firmer dollar cut into a rally that has carried the metal to within touching distance of record highs.

Comex copper for December delivery, which took over this week as the most-active contract, fell 1.3% to $6.6020 a pound (about $14,555 a tonne) by late morning in New York, after trading as high as $6.7420 earlier in the session. The September contract touched an all-time high of $6.7775 last Wednesday.

In London, three-month copper came within $2.50 of its own record last week, touching $14,525 a tonne against the all-time intraday peak of $14,527.50 set on January 29. LME inventories have fallen for four straight sessions, to 234,275 tonnes.

Traders have spent the year shipping copper into the United States ahead of a 15% duty on refined imports due in January 2027, rising to 30% in 2028, a trade that has dominated the paper market and drained warehouses everywhere else. Comex stockpiles reached about 688,000 tonnes on August 31, almost three times the LME total, according to Bloomberg.

CRU projected a 639,000-tonne global surplus for 2026 but now regards the market as at best balanced. “If imports keep coming in as they have been, then it’s going to look like a deficit market in reality,” principal copper analyst Robert Edwards told Reuters last week.

Chile’s missing tonnes

Chile produced 403,424 tonnes of copper in July, down 9.4% from a year earlier and 9.8% below June, the weakest July for the world’s biggest producer since 2011. The national statistics agency blamed weather in the north of the country that hindered normal production, along with maintenance at major sites.

The damage showed up in the wider economy on Tuesday. Chile’s Imacec activity index, a proxy for GDP, fell 1.5% in July from a year earlier against expectations for 0.4% growth, with mining down 9.3%. The 1.7% monthly drop was the steepest since 2022. “These results were partly affected by weather conditions that disrupted the normal operation of production facilities,” the central bank said.

The storms, arriving as El Niño intensifies, shut Antofagasta’s Los Pelambres and Lundin Mining’s Caserones. Antofagasta cut 2026 guidance to between 625,000 and 655,000 tonnes from 650,000 to 700,000 alongside first-half results on August 13, and Lundin trimmed Caserones to 120,000 to 130,000 tonnes from 130,000 to 140,000 six days later, after a second storm brought down a transmission tower.

Monster month for equities

Copper producers fell with the metal on Tuesday, though the month behind them looks very different. Freeport-McMoRan, down 2.6% to $73.76 on Tuesday, has still gained 17.8% over the past month, the best of the majors, ahead of First Quantum’s 15.6% and Ivanhoe Mines’ 15.3%. Southern Copper is up 13.3% over the month, Teck Resources 11.4%, Glencore 10.7% and BHP 10.5%.

The two producers that cut Chilean guidance are the laggards. Antofagasta, ahead 4.9% over the month, dropped 5.1% on Tuesday, the worst performer in the group, while Lundin Mining has managed just 2.9% and fell 3.8% in Toronto.

Teck has a second story running. Anglo American aims to close its $53 billion merger with the Canadian miner as soon as next month, pending Chinese approval, and Glencore’s 44% stake in Collahuasi stands between the enlarged company and the $1.4 billion in annual earnings that Anglo believes it can unlock by linking that mine to Teck’s Quebrada Blanca.

Sibanye-Stillwater, down 0.8%, used first-half results on Tuesday to commit to the $340 million Mt Lyell copper-gold mine in Tasmania, targeting first ore in 2029 and 26,000 tonnes of copper a year over a 23-year life.

Comex copper is up about 15% in 2026 and 44% over the past year.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Blue Jay Gold Corp. (TSXV: JAY) (OTCQB: JAYGF) (FSE: JAY) (“Blue Jay” or the “Company“), is pleased to announce that it has commenced drilling at the Becker-Cochran antimony-silver occurrence on its 100%-owned Steller Gold Project (“Steller” or the “Project“) in southern Yukon (Figures 1&2). The Company has planned ten drill holes to test the target. Blue Jay also expects to receive and publish initial assay results from its 2026 drill program at the Skukum Creek and Mt. Skukum gold-silver deposits in September.

“The underground development at Becker-Cochran stopped in the 1960’s because the antimony price collapsed, not because the target wasn’t promising,” said Geordie Mark, CEO of Blue Jay Gold. “The scope of earlier works were limited by time, and not the scale of the antimony systems. Mineralizing systems of this style extend laterally for several kilometres, and the surface exposures at Becker-Cochran carry stibnite needles set in opaline silica and chalcedony textures. Textures of that kind typically form at or near the top of such a system. The Company’s interpretation is that the historical underground development, which reached less than 100 metres below the surface outcrop, worked only the uppermost part of the system, and that the system may extend as much as 600 metres below surface. That figure is based on our own interpretation of the available data.”

“We see considerable potential to extend the defined lateral and vertical continuity of mineralization of the system. We have designed a Phase 1 drill program at Becker-Cochran to test extensions of known antimony mineralization, complementing our ongoing metallurgical work assessing antimony concentrate product quality. Antimony is a critical mineral the Western world is short of, and we have it right here in our backyard. If these holes tell us what we hope they will, Steller carries a second and entirely different endowment alongside its known gold and silver resources and that is exactly why we believe Steller is a district play rather than a single deposit.”

What the Becker-Cochran Drill Program Is Testing

The holes are planned along the strike length of the historical underground development at Becker-Cochran and are designed to test the down-dip continuation of the mineralized shear zone below the two levels developed in the mid-1960’s.1

Historical workings only outlined the zone over a limited vertical extent, so the mineralized footprint is defined by the available data rather than by geology, a gap tied to the antimony price falling out of favour at the time. The zone remains open for exploration targeting.

The Workings the Drill Follows

Antimony was found on the flank of Carbon Hill in 1906, and the belt was mapped by the Geological Survey of Canada in 1912. In 1964 Yukon Antimony Corporation Ltd. was formed to develop it. The company stripped the Becker-Cochran showing along strike, and in 1965 began driving a tunnel, developing the zone underground on two levels, and mapping and sampling what was uncovered. Workings have remained dormant since that time.1

Becker-Cochran, One of the Many Targets at Steller

Drilling at Becker-Cochran has been part of the Company’s 2026 exploration plan from the outset. Blue Jay is drilling a number of targets at Steller this year, and Becker-Cochran is a deliberate exception to the Company’s core gold and silver drill target focus, forming no part of the Project’s current Mineral Resource Estimate.

What the historical record at Becker-Cochran does provide is further evidence of something the Company has said since acquiring Steller: this is a district, not a single deposit. The approximately 170 km² land package, located 55 kilometres south of Whitehorse and accessible by road, includes a mine that has already produced gold, two additional gold and gold-silver deposits hosted in different geological styles, a processing plant, and kilometres of underground workings. On the eastern side of the property lies the antimony ground that attracted an earlier generation of prospectors. All of it traces back to Eocene-age magmatic-epithermal activity manifesting a widespread mineralized system, and systems like this rarely leave only one deposit behind. Becker-Cochran is not a departure from the plan. It is another target within a property that continues to unveil its potential to host multiple attractive mineralized targets.
