Golden Cross Resources Provides Update on

Drilling and Announces a Second Drill Rig Has

Been Mobilized at Its Reedy Creek High-Grade

Gold Project

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 22, 2025) - Golden Cross Resources Inc.

(TSXV:

AUX) (OTC: ZCRMF) (FSE: ZMLO)

("Golden Cross" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an

update on its phase 1 work program based on which a second drill rig has been mobilized at its flagship

Reedy Creek high-grade gold project in Victoria, Australia. This expansion of the drilling program follows

the successful completion of a C$5 million financing, providing the Company with the capital to

accelerate and expand its exploration efforts.

Key Highlights:

Phase 1 program update:

The emerging picture from the initial ~1,000 metres of drilling,

mapping, and reassaying received to date indicates that the Reedy Creek goldfield is defined by

gold-bearing fluids migrating along faults that intersect anticline folding - a geological setting seen

at several other major Victorian gold mines.

Second drill rig mobilized:

The additional rig will double drilling capacity at Reedy Creek,

enabling the Company to test multiple high-priority targets and accelerate its understanding of the

geologic setting at Reedy Creek.

Fully funded program:

The recent $5 million financing ensures that the Company can

aggressively advance the current 6,000-metre drill campaign, with the ability to expand the

program as results warrant.

Focused on high-grade discoveries:

Previous drilling at Reedy Creek has confirmed the

presence of multiple high-grade gold intercepts along a 3 km mineralized corridor, with several

zones remaining open along strike and at depth.

Drilling deeper:

With the recent financing, the Company can bring forward the second phase of

drilling which involves testing the targets at greater depth. This is crucial for understanding the

geologic model driving gold mineralization at Reedy Creek.

"Mobilizing a second drill rig marks an important milestone for Golden Cross," said Matt Roma, CEO of

Golden Cross. "With strong investor support from our recent financing, we are now in a position to

accelerate our exploration program at Reedy Creek. Our goal is to unlock the full potential of this district-

scale project and build on the high-grade gold results we've already seen."

The Company will continue to evaluate the geological interpretation revealed by the data and looks

forward to providing further updates later this Summer as assay results are received.

The Company has granted Capital Analytica incentive stock options (each, an "

Option

") to purchase

100,000 common shares (each, a "

Share

") at an exercise price of $0.50 per Share for a period of 5

years. The Options will be subject to standard investor relations vesting provisions and are subject to the

acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange ("

TSXV

").
