Canagold Accelerates Antimony Production Strategy with Additional Drilling and
Technical Studies
___________
Vancouver, B.C. – February 25, 2026 — Canagold Resources Ltd. (TSX: CCM, OTCQB: CRCUF, Frankfurt:
CANA) (the “Company” or “Canagold”) is pleased to announce plans for a comprehensive 2026 work
program at its 100%-owned New Polaris project (“New Polaris” or “project”), focused on expanding
gold–antimony resources and advancing technical studies to evaluate the financial benefits of
incorporating antimony production into the project development plans and economics.
The fully funded program, will include approximately 7,000 metres of diamond drilling, scheduled to
commence in June and continue through July 2026. The drilling will target expansion of the high-grade
gold–antimony mineralization within and adjacent to the current mine plan outlined in the feasibility
study completed in July 2025. The objective is to further define and potentially increase the gold-
antimony resource base in areas expected to have a direct and positive impact on early production and
overall project economics.
In parallel, the Company will undertake additional metallurgical test work and preliminary engineering
studies to optimize the flotation and refining process flowsheet for the production of saleable antimony
metal. Drill core from the 2026 program will provide fresh material for detailed metallurgical
characterization, recovery optimization, and product specification testing.
Importantly, the majority of mining, crushing, grinding, and processing costs associated with antimony
recovery are already incorporated within the existing gold-focused mine plan. As a result, the addition of
a saleable antimony product is expected to represent a meaningful incremental revenue stream with
limited additional capital or operating cost requirements.
Engineering and financial studies planned for 2026 will quantify the potential impact of antimony
revenue on overall project cash flow, operating margins, and after-tax returns.
Upon completion of the drilling and metallurgical programs, the Company expects to have sufficient
technical and economic data to support the inclusion of antimony production and revenue into the
current project economics.
The Company believes that integrating antimony production, enhances the strategic and economic
profile of New Polaris, particularly in light of growing global demand for secure and diversified critical
mineral supply.
Further updates will be provided as the 2026 work program advances.
