WestKam Gold Corp. Announces Prospecting and Soil

Sampling Results for Will Property, Mt. Williams, B.C.

Vancouver, B.C. – January 20, 2026 – WestKam Gold Corp. (the “Company” or

“WestKam”) is pleased to announce the results of a helicopter-assisted, soil sampling

survey completed on the Will Claim. The sampling program was conducted in late

September 2025 to test gossanous areas interred to contain altered ultramafics on the

Company’s 100%-owned Will Project, located on Mt. Williams near Goldbridge, British

Columbia.

The Will Project encompasses 1,142.47 hectares of highly prospective terrain and is in

good standing through January 30, 2027. The 2025 exploration program focused on a

zone of listwanite alteration in the upper reaches of Mt. Williams, an area with

geological characteristics conducive to gold and antimony mineralization.

The targeted alteration zone is situated on trend with the Minto-Olympic shear zone,

currently being advanced by Endurance Gold Corp. It is interpreted to share a similar

structural and lithological setting. Listwanite-hosted orogenic systems are globally

recognized for their association with significant gold deposits. Antimony is commonly

associated in such settings—particularly in structurally controlled quartz-carbonate

veining in proximity to ultramafic rocks.

The program generated positive results. A total of 19 soil samples were collected, with 13

of the 19 soil samples returning anomalous gold concentrations of 10 ppb Au or

higher and 7 samples returning 40 ppb or higher. The highest value was 430 ppb gold.

There were also anomalous nickel and chrome values, which support the presence of

ultramafics. There was a strong positive correlation between anomalous gold-arsenic-

antimony, which are classic geochemical signatures for the area.

The Company also announces that it has terminated the private placement financing

previously announced on July 15, 2025 and September 5, 2025.
