FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Falcon Gold Advances Sunny Boy- Spitfire Project, Files Notice of Work for Inaugural Drill

Program, B.C.

Toronto, Ontario (Newsfile Corp. – October 29th, 2025) - FALCON GOLD CORP. (TSXV: FG), (FSE: 3FA)

(U.S – Pinks: FGLDF) ("Falcon" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a Notice of Work (“NoW”)

Permit has been field on the Sunny Boy - Spitfire project near Merrit British Columbia. The permit allows

Falcon to resume an aggressive exploration program including trenching, diamond drilling, geophysical

surveys, and site preparation to test high grade structures and expand the known gold system.

“The Merritt area has a rich history of gold exploration, where past operators focused primarily on

narrow high-grade veins — overlooking the broader geological frameworks that support larger mining

widths. As new results continue to arrive, our confidence in the district’s potential only grows. Our field

team has built on Falcon’s early success, advancing structural and geochemical work to define high-

priority targets. We are now preparing an aggressive 25-hole program designed to test surface

mineralization along the Master Zone ahead of our inaugural drill campaign. We believe the Nicola Lake

region has all the hallmarks of emerging into B.C.’s next significant gold camp,” commented Karim

Rayani, Chief Executive Officer of Falcon.

Falcons previous work program dated August 2020 mapped and channel sampled the Master Vein in a

blasted trench and along strike. The highlight sample averaged 59.8 g/t Au (1.74 oz/ton Au) over 2.2 m

which included a 1 m interval assaying 122 g/t (3.56 oz/ton) Au. Approximately 125 m southeast along

strike, another channel sample of the Master Vein returned a second strong assay of the vein that

reported 11.4 g/t Au over 1 meter. A new potential vein structure, the Cliff Vein, was discovered down

slope from the Master Vein, approximately 25 meters lower in elevation. A grab sample of the Cliff vein

assayed up to 22.8 g/t Au.

The Spitfire & Sunny Boy Project

The first recorded discoveries were made on the Sunny Boy & Spitfire claims in 1908, which is currently

located in the northeast portion of the property claim block. Most of the early exploration focused on

quartz veins that hosted gold, copper and silver. High grade gold values have been reported at 124 to

127 g/t Au and 309 to 514 g/t silver ("Ag") in quartz vein material from underground workings

by Quilchena Mining and Development Company Ltd. The high-grade veins have been trenched, pitted,

blasted, and drilled but have never been commercially mined. The main showing, Master Vein, boasts

high-grade gold mineralization up to 50.53 oz/t as sampled by Ken Sanders, P. Eng in 1974. To the south-

west of the Sunny Boy Zone in an area referred to as the "AL" showing soil geochemistry, geophysics

(magnetometer/VLF), trenching, sampling and diamond drilling have been performed on the mineralized

veins. The best drill result was reportedly 3.77 g/t Au, 0.24 % copper, and 32.9 g/t Ag over 13.4 meters.

The Sunny Boy & Spitfire discovery has been referred to as an epithermal gold deposit by past

operators. The gold zones are hosted within the Quesnellia terrane, characterized by submarine volcanic

and volcaniclastic rocks of the Nicola group to the south and the Takla group in the north. The gold

mineralization and geological setting of the project bear strong similarities to other developed projects

in the region such as the epithermal gold deposits, Prospect Valley and Shovelnose, currently being

explored by Westhaven Ventures Inc.

Falcon's due-diligence work in 2019 confirmed the presence of gold mineralization along the Master

Vein over a 300-meter strike length with samples ranging from 0.33 to 2.74 ounces per ton ("oz/t") Au.

Based on the sporadic past exploration, the Company has identified EM and IP geophysics, structural

mapping, and excavating large surface blast pits to expose insitu bedrock as the best approach for

identifying new mineralized structures for both gold and base metals discoveries. Falcon’s next steps are

to confirm the extent of gold mineralization at depth. The discovery of 7.99 g/t Au in the silicified

wallrock could open significant new zones for our pending drill program. Furthermore, the recent

acquisition of new claims adding 500 meters of strike length (Previously announced June 4th, 2020) will

further add to the exploration potential as we continue to press along strike and to depth.

About Falcon Gold Corp.

Falcon is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on generating, acquiring, and exploring

opportunities in the Americas. Falcon’s flagship project, the Central Canada Gold Mine, is approximately

20 km southeast of Agnico Eagle’s Hammond Reef Gold De posit which currently has an estimated 3.32

million ounces of gold (123.5 million tonnes grading 0.84 g/t gold) mineral reserves and 2.3 million ounces

of measured and indicated mineral resources (133.4 million tonnes grading 0.54 g/t gold). Ref:

https://www.agnicoeagle.com/English/exploration/exploration-projects/Hammond-Reef/default.aspx

The Hammond Reef gold property lies on the Hammond shear zone, which is a northeast -trending splay

off the Quetico Fault Zone (“QFZ”) and may be the control for the gold deposit. The Central Gold property

lies on a similar major northeast -trending splay o f the QFZ. The neighboring properties results do not

necessarily apply to the current project or property being disclosed

The Company holds multiple additional projects: a 49% interest in the Burton Gold property with Iamgold

near Sudbury Ontario; Spitfire -Sunny Boy, claims in B.C.; Great Burnt Copper- Gold Project in Central

Newfoundland, and most recently battery metals projects, Timmins West Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Property

Ontario, Outarde Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Property, and the Nickel North property in Quebec.
