Golden Cross Resources to Utilize VRIFY's AI- Assisted Mineral Discovery Platform at Its Reedy Creek High-Grade Gold Project in Victoria, Australia
Golden Cross Resources to Utilize VRIFY's AI-
Assisted Mineral Discovery Platform at Its
Reedy Creek High-Grade Gold Project in
Victoria, Australia
Summary:
Golden Cross has acquired two tenements directly north of/contiguous to Southern Cross Gold's
Sunday Creek gold discovery.
Past drilling has revealed high-grade gold intercepts including 11m at 31.4 g/t gold and 2m at
174.42 g/t gold
1
, as well as significant gold mineralization along a recently defined ~3km long
gold-in-soil geochemical anomaly.
DORA, VRIFY's AI-Assisted Mineral Discovery Platform, transforms exploration data into
expanded, multi-dimensional insights - revealing the regional-scale controls on gold mineralization
and accelerating the path to discovery.
The DORA platform recently assisted similar explorers in identifying areas of high-potential
mineralization that were later confirmed through drilling.
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 13, 2025) -
Golden Cross Resources Corp
(TSXV: AUX) (OTC Pink: ZCRMD)
(
"Golden Cross" or the "Company"
) is pleased to announce
that it is partnering with VRIFY Technology Inc. ("
VRIFY
") to leverage DORA, the world's only AI-Assisted
Mineral Discovery Platform at the Reedy Creek Goldfield in Victoria, Australia. The partnership will use
proprietary AI and predictive modelling to accelerate and maximize discovery potential on a property
immediately north of Southern Cross Gold's Sunday Creek discovery.

Golden Cross recently acquired a land package (the "Property") comprising two tenements covering an
area of 445km
2
(
Figure 1
) approximately 10km northeast of Southern Cross Gold's Sunday Creek gold
discovery. The Property contains the historic Reedy Creek Goldfield, situated directly north of Sunday
Creek, as well as multiple other historic goldfields and high-grade gold prospects (
Figure 2
).
Past drilling at the Property revealed high-grade gold intercepts including 11m at 31.4 g/t gold and 2m at
174.42 g/t gold.

Limited drilling between 2021-2024 by Great Pacific Resources also revealed
significant gold mineralization along a recently defined ~3km long NW-SE gold-in-soil geochemical
anomaly.
Gold-in-soil anomalies are critical early indicators of mineralized systems, especially in epizonal
deposits where gold is often closely associated with fault zones and vein swarms near surface
.

DORA: Purpose-Built AI for Exploration Teams
Golden Cross will integrate DORA, VRIFY's AI-Assisted Mineral Discovery Platform, to refine its
exploration model and prioritize high-potential areas of mineralization. DORA leverages mineral-system-
specific AI models and a proprietary industry dataset to generate the VRIFY Prospectivity Score (VPS) -
a predictive output used to assess and rank zones of mineral potential.
The Phase 1 diamond drill program at Reedy Creek, commencing in June 2025, will be guided by
predictive models generated using DORA's proprietary algorithms. Through hypothesis testing, Golden
Cross will leverage the platform to define a refined and defensible targeting strategy that reduces
uncertainty and maximizes the value of Golden Cross's existing data.

Using DORA, Golden Cross will be able to generate detailed and comprehensive predictive models for
the Company's planned Phase 1 diamond drilling program at the Reedy Creek Goldfield (

"We believe our Reedy Creek Project is one of the most under-explored and high-potential gold systems
in Victoria," said Matt Roma, CEO of Golden Cross. "With VRIFY's DORA platform, we're introducing a
new standard of technical rigor and targeting precision to this project. Our objective is to deploy capital
efficiently while maximizing the potential for discovery success - and VRIFY provides the strategic
advantage to help us achieve exactly that."
"Golden Cross is working in one of the world's most exciting and mineral-rich regions, surrounded by
high-grade discoveries and active mines," said Steve de Jong, CEO and Co-Founder of VRIFY.
"They're taking a thoughtful, data-first approach to exploration - one that leverages every advantage
available, including AI. We're proud to support their team as they pursue new discoveries with the
urgency and intelligence this kind of ground deserves."
