Drilling Confirms Vertical and Lateral Extensions of Argus North, Highlighting System Scale and Continuity
Onyx Gold Corp. (TSX-V: ONYX) (OTCQX: ONXGF) is pleased to announce additional drill results from the Company’s ongoing 25,000 metre drill program at its 100% owned Munro-Croesus Project, located 75 km east of Timmins, Ontario.
Results are reported today for eight (8) step-out holes drilled on a cross-section located 50 metres west of the Argus North discovery section. This new drilling builds on results reported in June 2025, where four (4) holes included standout intercepts such as 91.0 m grading 1.8 g/t Au, including 32.0 m of 4.0 g/t Au in hole MC25-168 and 59.7 m grading 2.5 g/t Au including 18.7 m grading 5.2 g/t Au in drill hole MC25-171 (see Company news release dated June 26, 2025).
Highlights
“Our latest drilling at Argus North continues to demonstrate broad zones of gold mineralization with multiple higher-grade subintervals,” said Brock Colterjohn, President & CEO of Onyx Gold. “Intersecting nearly 200 metres of cumulative mineralization in a single hole underscores the scale of the system, while the presence of higher-grade sub-intervals within these broader envelopes highlights the strength of the gold system. Importantly, mineralization has now been traced from surface to over 300 metres depth and remains open along strike and down-plunge.”
“The Munro-Croesus project benefits from excellent infrastructure, with all reported gold results located beneath or adjacent to existing logging roads, less than 2 km away from Highway 101 and accessible year-round. With roughly half of our expanded 25,000-metre program still to come, we believe Argus North is only beginning to demonstrate its potential as the Timmins Camp’s newest gold discovery.”
Discussion of 2025 Argus North Results
The Argus North Zone is located on the western half of the Munro-Croesus Project, approximately 150 metres north of the regional Pipestone Fault, a major structural corridor that hosts several significant gold deposits in the Timmins camp. Discovery hole MC24-163, reported earlier this year, returned 69.6 m grading 3.4 g/t Au, including 34.5 m grading 5.4 g/t Au and 9.5 m grading 13.9 g/t Au (see Company news release dated April 10, 2025). Argus North lies roughly 100 metres north of the east-west trending Argus Main Zone, which represents a separate 750 m x 200 m near-surface bulk-tonnage gold target (e.g., 1.0 g/t Au over 63.3 m and 0.5 g/t Au over 136 m).
Gold mineralization at Argus North is distinguished by both broad zones (50 m to over 100 m) of +1 g/t Au mineralization containing multiple continuous higher-grade sub-intervals. Notable recent high-grade intercepts include 17.0 m grading 5.3 g/t Au in hole MC25-168, 18.7 m grading 5.2 g/t Au in MC25-171, 5.2 m grading 5.1 g/t Au and 6.6 m grading 4.2 g/t Au in MC25-178, 4.0 m grading 6.6 g/t Au in MC25-179, 4.0 m grading 5.9 g/t Au in MC25-180, and 4.0 m grading 4.6 g/t Au in MC25-177. For context, intercepts of this grade and thickness, in addition to the broad zones of +1 g/t Au mineralization, compare favorably with those reported from other major gold deposits in the Timmins camp, underscoring the potential significance of Argus North as a material new gold discovery in the district.
Geologically, the high-grade sub-intervals are closely associated with zones of strong albitization and silicification, pyritic stringers, and localized porphyritic intrusions within variolitic basalt and volcanic breccias. This combination of alteration and structural preparation is interpreted to be a key control on gold deposition. Drilling to date demonstrates excellent vertical continuity of mineralization, now traced from surface to over 350 meters depth, with the system remaining open along strike, down-dip and down-plunge.
The eight drill holes reported in this news release are all located within 25 m of the same north-south cross-section, situated 50 m west of previously reported drill holes MC24-163/168/171 (see Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3) with approximate 50 m step-outs up-dip and down-dip. The drilling to date has continued to return encouraging results with drill holes MC25-177 and MC25-181 both intersecting plus 100-meter widths of consistent gold mineralization as reported below and in Table 1. The Argus North Zone remains open along strike, down-dip and down-plunge and ongoing plans will continue to see step-out drilling along strike on 50-m to 100-m spaced cross-sections to extend the limits of the known gold mineralization.

The Munro-Croesus Project
The Munro-Croesus Project is located along Highway 101 in the heart of the Abitibi greenstone belt, Canada’s premier gold mining jurisdiction (Figure 4). This large, 100% owned land package includes the past-producing Croesus Gold Mine, which yielded some of the highest-grade gold ever mined in Ontario. Extensive land consolidation from 2020-2025 has unified the patchwork of patented and unpatented mining claims surrounding the Croesus Gold Mine into one coherent package and enhanced the project’s exploration potential.
The Project covers 109 km2 of highly prospective geology within the influence of major gold-bearing structural breaks. Bulk-tonnage gold deposits located in the immediate region include the Fenn-Gib gold project being developed by Mayfair Gold Corp., and the Tower Gold Project being developed by STLLR Gold Inc.
