Arya Resources Commences Drilling to Expand GOLD and Silver Mineralization at Wedge Lake
ARYA RESOURCES COMMENCES DRILLING TO EXPAND GOLD
AND SILVER MINERALIZATION AT WEDGE LAKE
Vancouver, British Columbia – February 03, 2026– Arya Resources Ltd. (TSXV: RBZ) is pleased
to announce that it has begun a new round of drilling at its Wedge Lake Gold Project in
Saskatchewan.
This drilling will focus on two key areas of the project — the Twin Zone and the T-6 Zone —
where earlier drilling returned encouraging gold results.
The new program is designed to build on these positive results and further explore the project’s
potential. This work follows the Company’s recent drilling success at both zones, which was
previously announced:
Twin Zone results: AR25-09 (Nov 3, 2025)
3.86 g/t Au over 44.0 m (76.5-120.5 m) including:
o 9.90 g/t Au over 16.0 m (89-105 m) and
o 26.14 g/t Au over 3.80 m (94.6-98.4 m)
T-6 Zone results: AR25-10 (Oct 20, 2025)
21.59 g/t Au over 5.84 m (41.70-47.54 m) including:
o 30.45 g/t Au over 4.06 m (43.48 – 47.54m)
A gold-dominant bulk-tonnage target with consistent silver credits is also identified at the Twin
Zone (February 02, 2026):

The drilling program aims to build on these positive results by seeing how far the gold and silver
zones extend, how deep they go, and how continuous the gold and silver mineralization is.
Two Distinct Styles of Gold Mineralization Identified
Arya has identified two distinct styles of gold mineralization at the Wedge Lake Gold Project:
T-6 Zone: Orogenic / Mesothermal gold mineralization
Twin Zone: Iron Formation–hosted gold mineralization, comparable to major deposits
such as Meadowbank, Lupin, and the Homestake Mine in South Dakota
The T-6 Zone represents a classic orogenic gold system, characterized by structurally controlled
quartz veining, alteration, and gold mineralization formed during regional deformation and
metamorphism. This style is known globally for hosting large, high-grade gold deposits.
In contrast, the Twin Zone hosts gold and silver mineralization within iron formation, a
geological setting associated with some of the world’s most significant gold camps. The style of
mineralization at the Twin Zone shows strong similarities to:
Meadowbank Gold Mine (Nunavut, Canada)
Lupin Gold Mine (Northwest Territories, Canada)
Homestake Mine (South Dakota, USA)
These analogs highlight the potential for large, long-life gold and silver systems within iron
formation-hosted environments.
The Company will provide the market with further updates once drilling commences and results
become available.
