AuMEGA Metals Expands Drill Program

Edmonton, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - November 25, 2025) -

AuMEGA Metals Ltd (ASX: AAM) (TSXV:

AUM) (OTCQB: AUMMF

) ("AuMEGA" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has mobilised

a second diamond drill rig to expand the diamond drilling program on the Major Electromagnetic ("EM")

anomaly at the Cape Ray Gold Project in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada (Figure 1).

The current diamond drill program is progressing well and is currently focused on a large, newly defined

airborne electromagnetic ("EM") conductor located in the immediate hangingwall of the Central Zone —

a proven high-grade gold system (Figure 2)

.

The conductor, measuring approximately 500 metres by 1,000 metres and open along strike, is located

500 metres southeast of the Company's high-grade Central Zone deposits, and yet has never been drill

tested (Figure 2).

AuMEGA Metal's Managing Director and CEO, Sam Pazuki, commented:

"Our fully funded drill program is progressing well and we have made the decision to dispatch a

second drill rig to support the drilling efforts. Our plan is to drill as much as we can for the next few

weeks before the winter break.

We are excited about drilling the first ever exploration holes into the

hangingwall of the Cape Ray Shear Zone near Central Zone.

"Additionally, we have pending assay results from several exploration programs. These include

Bunker Hill, Cape Ray, Isle aux Morts Granite and Hermitage surficial till geochemical surveys along

with the associated mapping and sampling programs.

The results from these programs are expected

to generate several new drill-ready targets as we continue to systematically explore our district-scale

land package to find the next series of major deposits."

This announcement has been authorised for release by the Company's Board of Directors.

About the Company

AuMEGA Metals Ltd

(ASX: AAM) (TSXV: AUM) (OTCQB: AUMMF)

is utilising best-in-class

exploration to explore on its district scale land package that spans 110 kilometers along the Cape Ray

Shear Zone, a significant under-explored geological feature recognised as Newfoundland, Canada's

largest identified gold structure. This zone currently hosts Equinox Gold's Valentine Gold Project, a multi-

million-ounce deposit which is the region's largest gold project, along with AuMEGA's expanding Mineral

Resource.

The Company is supported by a diverse shareholder registry of prominent global institutional investors,

and strategic investment from B2Gold Corp, a significant, intermediate gold producer.

Additionally, AuMEGA holds a 27-kilometre stretch of the highly prospective Hermitage Flexure and has

also secured an Option Agreement for the Blue Cove Copper Project in southeastern Newfoundland,

which exhibits strong potential for copper and other base metals.

AuMEGA's Cape Ray Shear Zone hosts several dozen high potential targets along with its existing

defined gold Mineral Resource of 6.2 million tonnes grading an average of 2.25 g/t, totaling 450,000

ounces of Indicated Resources, and 3.4 million tonnes grading an average of 1.44 g/t, totaling 160,000

ounces in Inferred Resources
