Argo Permits Rottenstone and Dreaver Lake in
Saskatchewan
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - September 22, 2025) - Argo Gold Inc.
(CSE: ARQ) (OTC Pink:
ARBTF) (XFRA: A2ASDS) (XSTU: A2ASDS) (XBER: A2ASDS)
("
Argo
" or the "
Company
") has
obtained its mineral exploration permits from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment for Argo Gold's
projects in the Rottenstone Belt in Saskatchewan. The permits cover 26,661 hectares of mineral claims
in the emerging Rottenstone Belt and 1,155 hectares at the Dreaver Lake Gold Project.
Under the permits, Argo Gold is authorized to conduct prospecting, geological mapping and surface
sampling.
Airborne surveys can also be conducted upon notifying the Saskatchewan Ministry of
Environment.
Dreaver Lake Gold Project
The Dreaver Lake Gold Project has weakly anomalous gold and silver in lake sediments, as well as a
highly anomalous halo of coincident gold and silver in lake sediments for 10 kilometres in the down-ice
direction. (GSC).
In 1968, prospecting at Dreaver Lake identified outcrops of quartz diorite rock
consistent with rock hosting the gold mineralization in the Ramp Metals discovery hole Ranger 1 which
intersected 73.55 grams/tonne Au over 7.5 metres from 227 to 234.5 metres. (Ramp Metals, June 17,
2024).
Exploration work in the 1960's was focused on nickel and copper, not gold.
An airborne survey
conducted for Noranda Exploration in 1966 at Dreaver Lake delineated 3 conductors, all with associated
magnetic highs, in the metasediments flanking the intrusive granites. The highest priority target is a
strong, wide EM conductor that is approximately 1.5 km in length with associated magnetic highs on
both sides. All 3 conductors remain undrilled.
The Dreaver Lake mineral claims are located
approximately 12 km southeast of the Ramp Metals Property.
The Dreaver Lake Gold Project is contiguous to that of Eagle Plains Resources where trench sampling
on the Cook Showing returned 79.96 g/t Au over 1.0 metre, and a grab sample returned up to 78.84 g/t
Au, 2.7 g/t Ag, 0.146% Pb and 0.019% Cu (Eagle Plains website, 2025).
Approximately 5 kilometres
southwest of the Dreaver Lake Property, Fathom Nickel is currently exploring at Gochager Lake where
recent drilling intersected 18.1 metres @ 2.43% Ni, 0.51% Cu and 0.18% Co.
(Fathom Nickel, April 12,
2023).
Rock chip and soil geochemical sampling has extended the Gochager footprint by 2 kilometres to
the southwest and 2 kilometres to the Northeast.
(Fathom Nickel, August 26, 2024).
Underground
exploration drilling at the past-producing Roy Lloyd mine located 20 kilometres south of Dreaver Lake
intersected 8.17 metres (5.32 metres true width) of 66.85 g/t Au, 6.79 metres (4.42 metres true width) of
80.12 g/t Au and 2.23 metres (1.73 metres true width) of 128.37 g/t Au at a depth of approximately 240
metres.

Rottenstone Project
Argo has completed a compilation of all historic data for the Rottenstone Project where Argo owns
100% of 26,661 hectares of mineral claims in the emerging Rottenstone Belt.
(Argo Gold, August 7,
2024, and Argo Gold, January 20, 2025).
The compilation of historic data has identified additional
prospective mineral exploration ground where anomalous gold, silver and copper in lake sediments
(GSC) coincide with an interpreted fold axis from historic geophysical data.
Argo's mineral claim
position in the Rottenstone Belt covers areas of interest including: anomalous copper in soils,
electromagnetic conductors identified by historic geophysical surveys, ultramafic rocks, the Gow Lake
meteor crater area, and the geological strike extension of the Rottenstone Mine.
The Fraser Institutes Annual Survey of Mining Companies ranked Saskatchewan as third in the world for
mineral exploration and mining investment attractiveness
Argo is well positioned to advance mineral
exploration with high-quality assets in a mining friendly jurisdiction.
