OceanaGold Announces Ongoing Exploration Success at Haile

(VANCOUVER, BC ) OceanaGold Corporation (TSX: OGC ) (OTCQX: OCANF) ("OceanaGold" or the

"Company") is pleased to announce positive results from its exploration and resource conversion drilling

programs at the Haile Gold Mine (“Haile”) in the United States.

Gerard Bond, President and CEO of OceanaGold, said “With a record high exploration budget of $10 million

at Haile this year, we are delighted by the excellent return on investment we continue to generate through

exploration. These exciting results continue to demonstrate the continuity of high -grade mineralization at

several deposits across the property, notably at Ledbetter Phase 4, Horseshoe Underground, and the

promising new early-stage Pisces and Clydesdale targets. The exploration success continues to highlight

the exceptional upside for low-risk organic growth we have within our existing portfolio of assets.”

Ledbetter Phase 4 – High-Grade Results Targeting Underground Resource Conversion

Mineralization in Ledbetter Phase 4 is located within the current final phase of the open pit Mineral Reserve

(Figure 1). An ongoing resource conversion drill program is enhancing resource confidence and providing

samples for metallurgical test ing in support of the current trade-off study for the evaluation of a potential

underground mine at Ledbetter, which has potential for improved overall site economics.

A zone of mineralization, down-dip of Ledbetter Phase 4 extension, has been tested with a total of four

holes, or 1,975 metres (“m”). The program has returned results with strong mineralized intersections: 28.9

m @ 18.33 g/t Au from 489.1 m including 1.3 m @ 189.22 g/t (DDH1279), and 8.7 m @ 22.30 g/t Au from

375.9 m including 5.0 m @ 35.86 g/t (DDH1281).

Horseshoe Underground – Support for Additional Resource Growth

At Horseshoe Underground, drilling continues on both resource conversion and definition programs,

totalling 7,467 m from 24 holes since the February 2025 news release. Conversion drilling totalling 4,261

m in 14 holes has targeted Inferred Mineral Resources in the lower levels of the deposit. Notable intercepts

include: 16.1 m @ 16.33 g/t Au from 274.3 m (UGD0082) and 14.6 m @ 10.33 g/t from 235.6 m (UGD0084),

24.0 m @ 7.99 g/t from 258.6 m (UGD0085) and 2 2.0 m @ 8.60 g/t from 259.3 m (UGD0086); the latter

three holes extending high-grade mineralization to the southwest.

Definition drilling totalling 10 holes for 3,206 m has targeted step-out opportunities, primarily south and west

of the current resource. Assay results for nine holes have been received with the following significant

intercepts: 7.6 m @ 3.63 g/t Au from 271.0 m and 9.1 m @ 3.40 g/t Au from 299.9 m (UGD0097) and 5.0

m @ 5.64 g/t Au from 267.9 m (UGD0100). The definition drill program is ongoing with 2,600 m remaining

to be drilled in 2025. These results demonstrate the potential for continued resource growth, and drilling

will remain focused on further defining step-out targets to support future underground development.

Pisces – Initial Drilling of High-Grade Target

The Pisces target is located along the prospective corridor between the Horseshoe and Palomino deposits

at approximately 550 m below surface and close to existing and planned underground infrastructure.

A total of nine holes for 6,167 m has been drilled in 2025, with the testing of geological and grade continuity.

Significant intercepts include: 7.6 m @ 10.39 g/t Au from 647.0 m (DDH1271), 6.8 m @ 2.60 g/t Au from

571.0 m (DDH1285) and 6.6 m @ 3.34 g/t Au (DDH1290), demonstrating continuity of mineralization in the

eastern area of the target towards Horseshoe. See the VRIFY link for visual representation of the results.

In conjunction with previously reported results, 44.2 m @ 10. 85 g/t Au from 591 m (DDH1267), 9.4 m @

44.14 g/t Au from 686.1 m (DDH1269) and 42.7 m @ 6.07 g/t Au from 560.2 m (DD H1257), (released

February 24, 2025), the highest-grade mineralization defines a 150 m strike length. This zone of higher -

grade mineralization remains to be further tested , while the target remains open to the northeast towards

Horseshoe and down-dip.

Clydesdale – Successful Early-Stage Result

The early-stage Clydesdale drill target is located 100 m northwest of Palomino and approximately 300 m

stratigraphically lower at approximately 800 m below surface. The target is defined by anomalous gold

grades in wall rock metasediments, anomalous pathfinder geochemistry, and alteration mineralogy (Table

2). A total of two holes totalling 1,600 m have been drilled in 2025 to test the target . Initial results have

returned one significant intercept of 26.2 m @ 4.11 g/t Au from 780.7 m including 14.6 m @ 6.21 g/t Au

(DDH1282). See the VRIFY link for visual representation of the results.

Follow-up drilling is ongoing with two additional holes to be completed by the end of the year for a total of

1,800 m.
