Kevin Bullock, President, CEO & Director of NexGold, commented: “I am pleased with the additional assay results from our drill program at Goldlund. asserted

This program continues to demonstrate grade continuity at depth, but within reach of a potential open pit. asserted

Grade tenor and thicknesses continue to build confidence that mineralization continues at depth and is consistent with previous drill results. asserted

Our continued drilling progress at Goldlund further supports our objectives for this program - to infill and test the extension of mineralization in Zone 4 - which is expected to contribute to refinement of our geological model and may inform future Mineral Resource assessments. uncertain

We expect to complete the balance of the 35,000-metre program by the end of 2026 and will continue to provide updates as results become available. asserted

” Mineralization at the Goldlund Deposit is generally characterized by quartz stockwork veining within sub-vertical granodiorite sills. asserted

Zone 4 at the Goldlund Deposit includes broad intervals of mineralized intermediate-mafic volcanic rocks with multiple porphyry and granodiorite intrusions. asserted

The drill results summarized in this news release, together with previously announced drill results, provide additional support and information relevant to the interpretation of grade continuity within Zone 4. asserted

These results are expected to contribute to ongoing refinement of the geological model and may support future evaluation of Mineral Resource classification, subject to additional drilling, data verification, and completion of further technical studies. uncertain

Drill holes completed as part of this program have been distributed across the strike extent of Zone 4, with the holes highlighted in this news release located from the central to southeastern portion of the zone. asserted

The results provide additional information supporting the Company’s current geological interpretation of mineralization within Zone 4 and provide additional information regarding the continuity of mineralization between drill sections. asserted

Additional drilling is planned to further evaluate mineralization along strike and down dip and to inform Mineral Resource assessments. asserted

Reported intervals are drilled core lengths and do not indicate true widths. asserted

True widths typically vary from 50 to 75% of the interval length, except for hole GL-26-033, where true width is estimated from 25 to 50% of interval length due to the steeper inclination drilled. 2. asserted

For duplicate samples, the average grade was used to calculate the intersection grade. asserted

Drill hole locations reported as Universal Transverse Mercator NAD83 Zone 15N coordinates QA / QC The Company has implemented a quality assurance and quality control (“QA/QC”) program to ensure sampling and analysis of all exploration work is conducted in accordance with the CIM Exploration Best Practices Guidelines. asserted

Drill core is sawed in half with one-half of the core sample dispatched to the Activation Laboratories Ltd. laboratory in Dryden, Ontario. asserted

The other half of the core is retained for future assay verification and/or metallurgical testing. asserted

Other QA/QC procedures include the insertion of blanks and Canadian Reference Standards for every tenth sample in the sample stream. asserted

A quarter core duplicate is assayed every 20th sample. asserted

The laboratory, which is independent of the Company, has its own QA/QC protocols, running standards and blanks with duplicate samples in each batch stream. asserted

Additional checks are routinely run on anomalous values including gravimetric analysis and pulp metallic screen fire assays. asserted

Gold analysis is conducted by lead collection, fire assay with atomic absorption, and/or gravimetric finish on a 50-gram sample. asserted

Check assays are conducted at a secondary independent ISO certified laboratory (in this case AGAT Laboratories located in Mississauga, Ontario) following the completion of a program. asserted
