Adyton Resources Corporation (TSX-V: ADY) (OTCQB: ADYRF) (FSE: 701) is pleased to announce an updated NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate for its Gameta Gold Project on Fergusson Island, Papua New Guinea.
The Gameta Gold Project represents a key growth opportunity within Adyton’s Fergusson Island portfolio and is being advanced alongside the Company’s Wapolu Project, where Adyton is targeting a potential restart of historical mining operations in Q4 2026. The Gameta and Wapolu projects, held in partnership with East Vision International Holdings, are located on Fergusson Island in Papua New Guinea’s Milne Bay Province, a region that also hosts the Woodlark and Misima gold projects.
Located approximately 30 kilometres east of the historic Wapolu mine, which operated during the mid-1990s, Gameta benefits from its proximity to existing infrastructure and potential operational synergies with Wapolu. The Company is evaluating a standalone processing facility at Gameta while leveraging shared resources, logistics advantages, and existing infrastructure, including the Wapolu airstrip.
Both Gameta and Wapolu host near-surface mineralization that is being developed as open-pit mines. The continued advancement of these projects provides Adyton with the opportunity to build a multi-asset gold development platform on Fergusson Island.
UPDATED GAMETA MRE
The updated Gameta MRE incorporates approximately 4,000 metres of infill drilling completed in 2025 and comprises an indicated mineral resource of 8.94 million tonnes grading 1.41g/t Au containing 404,000 ounces of gold and an inferred mineral resource of 6.52 million tonnes grading 0.99g/t Au containing 207,000 ounces of gold. The estimate was prepared by Mining One under the authorship of Louis Cohalan (MAIG), an independent mining consultant and “qualified person” as defined in NI 43-101.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS
“The updated Gameta MRE represents a significant milestone for Adyton and reflects the success of our 2025 infill drilling program in substantially increasing the higher-confidence indicated resource,” said Tim Crossley, Chief Executive Officer of Adyton. “The 131% increase in indicated resource to 404,000 ounces of gold, together with an indicated grade of 1.41 g/t gold highlights the quality and scale of the Gameta deposit. This updated MRE strengthens our understanding of the project and provides an important platform as we advance technical studies, permitting activities, and future exploration across Fergusson Island. With additional resource updates planned at Feni Island, Adyton continues to build a larger, gold resource base across its Papua New Guinea projects.”
“Although EVIH is currently very focused on supporting Adyton to restart operations at the Wapolu Mine,” commented Louis Wang, Project Director of EVIH. “This MRE is very positive for the broader Fergusson development and confirms that Gameta is a much larger, richer, and more contiguous deposit than initially understood. This MRE will enable us to finalize the feasibility and financial modelling required to submit the Mining Lease application.”
Fergusson Island Mineral Resource Estimate
The updated Gameta and Wapolu Mineral Resource Estimates are highlighted in Table 1. The drill programs at both Wapolu and Gameta were designed to test depth and strike extensions (with resources open at depth and along strike) but also importantly to increase resource confidence to enable progress to establish reserve estimates and Mining License (ML) applications.

Project Update and Key Next Steps
EVIH has completed the current phase of exploration drilling at both the Wapolu and Gameta projects, providing important geological information to support ongoing technical studies and project advancement activities across Fergusson Island.
Key activities currently underway include:
Adyton’s Fergusson Island projects are also delivering meaningful social and economic benefits within local communities. The Company’s activities have created numerous employment opportunities for local residents, providing jobs, training, and economic participation in regions where employment opportunities are limited. Adyton remains committed to working collaboratively with local communities, government stakeholders, and its partners to support responsible resource development in Papua New Guinea.
Feni Island Project (update)
Feni continues to strengthen its position as Adyton’s flagship growth asset. Over the past six months, our exploration team led by Dr Chris Bowden and Eugene Atase has significantly advanced its understanding of the broader mineral system through ongoing drilling, geological mapping, new surface exposures, assay results and the interpretation of multiple datasets into an increasingly robust exploration model.
As our understanding of the project continues to improve, so does our confidence in the district-scale potential of Feni and our ability to identify new areas of mineralisation beyond the current Kabang resource.
Looking ahead, several important work programs will further accelerate exploration, including a comprehensive ground-based IP geophysics survey, regional reconnaissance across the broader Feni Island land package, and continued evaluation of the recently granted Babase Exploration License. Together these initiatives are expected to generate a significant pipeline of new drill targets both around and beyond Kabang, including potential deeper or offset porphyry systems. Our objective is simple: to substantially increase the number of high-quality exploration opportunities across the Feni district and continue building a pipeline of discoveries capable of creating long-term value for our shareholders.
