Renegade Gold Expands Red Lake Land Package to More Than

100,000 ha Through Strategic Acquisitions at Confederation

VANCOUVER, BC, February 6, 202 5 – Renegade Gold Inc. (TSXV: RAGE, OTCQB: RENGF,

FSE: 070) (“Renegade” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce a significant expansion of its Red Lake

exploration footprint, centered within the Company’s Confederation Project, through the acquisition of

additional claims and strategic claim staking in the Red Lake Mining District, Ontario (Figure 1).

The Company has entered into a mineral property purchase agreement with an arm’s length third party

dated February 5, 2026 (the “ Agreement”), whereby the Company agreed to purchase a total of 105

unpatented mining claims known as the Belanger Property. Following this acquisition, Renegade’s

consolidated Red Lake land package would total approximately 100,150 ha.

Highlights

• Expanded Red Lake land position to approximately 100,150 ha, one of the largest consolidated

exploration portfolios in the district.

• Belanger Property added to the Confederation Project, comprising 2,150 ha and approximately

5 km of prospective strike length, with historic high -grade gold mineralization documented at

surface up to 60.4 g/t Au and in shallow drilling1 up to 7.66 g/t Au and 2.06% Cu over 0.3 m2.

• Strategic consolidation within the Confederation Project, including additional claims proximal

to the Copperlode trend and new claim staking within the existing land position.

• Expansion supports Renegade’s greenfield discovery strategy , focused on district -scale land

consolidation, systematic evaluation of underexplored geological corridors, and the generation of

new, high-quality drill targets.

Devin Pickell, President and CEO of Renegade, commented, “The Belanger Property represents a strategic

addition along major regional structures within our Confederation Project, adding approximately 5 km of

prospective strike length with documented high -grade gold and base metal mineralization at surface and

in shallow drilling. Together with the acquisition of the Arrow West claims in December and the recent

staking of additional claims within the existing land package, we have further strengthened continu ity

across key geological corridors. These additions support our greenfield discovery strategy as we continue

refining our exploration model and advancing new drill targets across the project.”

About the Belanger Property

The Belanger Property consists of 105 unpatented mining claims covering approximately 2,150 ha within

the Birch-Uchi greenstone belt , east of Red Lake, Ontario. The property is contiguous with Renegade’s

Confederation Project, providing a strategic addition to the Company’s consolidated land position in the

district (Figure 2).

The surrounding area has a long history of production from both base metal and gold deposits , including

the South Bay Mine, which produced approximately 1.5 million tonnes at 1.8% copper, 11.06% zinc,

and 73 g/t silver over its 13-year mine life6. The Grassett, Uchi, Hanalda and Jalda Mines also reported

combined production of 757,000 tonnes at 5.14 g/t gold, with the Grasset Mine alone producing 78,000

tonnes grading 7.54 g/t gold7.

The Belanger Property is underlain by Cycle-III volcanic rocks and granodioritic porphyries of the

Confederation Assemblage, similar to those that host the historic South Bay Mine located approximately

10 km northeast of the property. Both north and east-trending regional fault structures transect the property

and are considered favourable loci for gold mineralization. The property is considered prospective for

volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) and orogenic gold deposits.

Historic exploration on the Belanger Property has focused primarily on base metals since the late 1960s .

However, gold mineralization has been documented in historic trenches and grab samples with highlights

of:

• 60.4 g/t Au and 0.03 % Cu1

• 3.8 g/t Au and 5.47% Cu1

• 3.41 g/t Au and 3.85% Cu8

• 24.8 g/t Au over 0.6 m (chip sample)9

• 11.8 g/t Au, 59.7 g/t Ag, and 4.59 % Cu10

• 45.26 g/t Au, 0.32 % Cu, and 17.1 g/t Ag11

Limited drilling has occurred on the property , consisting of 897.5 m across 12 drill holes completed in

20022, which were subsequently relogged with additional and check assays in 20218. Reported highlights

include:

• 7.66 g/t Au and 2.06 % Cu over 0.3 m in hole GL-142

• 7.64 g/t Au and 2.08 % Cu over 0.3 m in hole GL-152

• 1.11 g/t Au and 1.23 % Cu over 1.22 m in hole GL-082

• 1.02 g/t Au and 0.9 g/t Ag over 0.91 m in hole GL-038

Agreement

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company will purchase the Belanger Property for a purchase price

of $10,000 (paid in two equal installments on signing and on closing, respectively) and the issuance of

12,345 common shares at an issue price of $0.405 per share to the vendor.

Completion of the acquisition of the Belanger Property is subject to customary closing conditions, including

the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
