Dryden Gold Corp. (TSX-V: DRY) (OTCQX: DRYGF) (FSE: X7W) is pleased to announce the successful down-dip expansion of the Spyglass and Buccaneer high-grade zones at Gold Rock. Four drill holes were completed testing the down-plunge extension of the high-grade gold mineralization. At Spyglass on BM1, DGR-073 assayed 9.40 g/t gold over 4.60 meters including 78.40 g/t gold over 0.38 meters (Figures 1 & 2). DGR-073 also intersected Buccaneer on BM1 at 370 meters true depth. All four drill holes intersected visible gold at Spyglass in the locations predicted by the Company’s geological interpretation, providing additional support for the model and the continuity of Spyglass down-plunge.

Highlights:

• Spyglass has been extended from approximately 190 metres to 330 metres vertical depth.
• Buccaneer has been extended from approximately 185 metres to 370 metres vertical depth.
• The expanded drilling has approximately doubled the interpreted size of the Spyglass zone, adding approximately 110 metres by 50 metres of mineralized footprint.
• Results provide additional confidence in the Company’s geological model.

DGR-073 also intersected Buccaneer, south of the modeled high-grade zone and assayed 0.95 g/t gold over 5.55 meters including 7.70 g/t gold over 0.55 meters. Follow-up drilling will test the model to the north. The Company’s fully funded, 45,000-meter drill program will continue testing down-plunge extensions of the known high-grade zones on its 15 mineralized structures, continue to identify new high-grade zones on strike and prove the continuity of lower-grade gold mineralization between high-grade zones at Gold Rock.

Investors are encouraged to visit the Company’s expanded website at www.drydengold.com. New additions include several new videos, recent interviews and access to Mining Hub’s 3-D modeling of the many high-grade zones at Gold Rock. Dryden Gold’s YouTube channel also provides detailed videos and Q&A.

Trey Wasser, CEO of Dryden Gold, commented, “The continued expansion of Gold Rock at depth is a very important achievement for the technical team. One of our key objectives of this drill campaign is to expand the known high-grade zones at depth and these four holes prove our model is working. Orogenic gold systems in Canada typically have very deep roots. At Red Lake and Kirkland, mining is approaching two kilometers. These significant results, down-plunge, almost double the interpreted depth of the high-grade zones (Figure 1). The scale of Spyglass was also expanded with the interpreted footprint increasing by approximately 5500 square meters. Larger than an American football field. Equally important, the footprint at Gold Rock continues to expand with 15 mineralized structures now discovered and the target area expanded to over one kilometer by 750 meters (Figure 2). These results increase our confidence in the model and support further testing of Gold Rock along strike and at depth.”

Analytical Laboratory and QA/QC Procedures

The Company is drilling NQ size core. Samples are cut in half, with half going to the lab for analysis and half kept as a record. True thickness/widths of the mineralization are unknown; result intervals are reported as the drilled core lengths unless otherwise stated. All sampling completed by Dryden Gold Corp. within its exploration programs is subject to a Company standard of internal quality control and quality assurance programs which include the insertion of certified reference materials, blank materials, and a level of duplicate analysis. Drill samples from the 2024, 2025 and 2026 programs were sent to Activation Laboratories, with sample preparation and analysis in Dryden, where they were processed for gold analysis by 50-gram fire assay with an atomic absorption finish and over limits determined by Fire Assay with a gravimetric finish. Select samples were analyzed using metallic screens. Activation Laboratories systems conform to requirements of ISO/IEC Standard 17025 guidelines and meet assay requirements outlined for NI 43-101.
