Rick Winters, CEO of Blossom, commented, “ I am very pleased to welcome Brandon to the
Blossom team. Brandon’s extensive capital markets experience will be an important asset in
advancing the Rosebud story with the investment community. We have begun to implement our
strategy to enhance liquidity by pursuing a dual listing in the U.S. and are in the process of making
our application to the OTCQX exchange , which will allow greater participation by investors.
Brandon will be key in making a success of the dual listing effort. Blossom is starting to hit its
stride. Our senior leadership team is coming together very nicely, with the remaining people
expected to be in place in the coming weeks. Two rigs are currently drilling priority metallurgical
PQ core holes as the start o f our planned 80,000 feet (24,384m) core drilling program. Two
additional rigs are expected to be in operation by mid -April as drilling of infill, expansion,
geotechnical and hydrological holes continues. The work to de-risk Rosebud is well underway and
a number of near-term key catalysts lie ahead of us. We expect to begin seeing drill results in the
coming weeks that will continue regularly through Q3 2026. All metallurgical holes are expected
to be under leach in columns by the end of April 2026. Opening, rehabilitation and establishment
of drill stations underground remains scheduled for the second half of 2026. My team and I look
forward to providing updates on these catalysts and other milestones to the markets throughout
2026.”
About Blossom Gold Inc.
Blossom is a Canadian -based precious metals exploration and development company that
recently began trading on the TSX under the symbol BGAU. Blossom acquired the Rosebud Project
in connection with the TSX-listing and will be focused on the exploration and development of the
project. The Rosebud Project includes the former Rosebud Mine, where mining was conducted
from 1997 through 2000 by the Rosebud Mining Company, a Newmont-Hecla joint venture, using
underground mining methods where the mine operated at a cut -off grade of approximately 0.2
opt Au (6.8 g/t Au), when gold prices ranged from US$250 to US$350/oz; with mined material
truck-hauled approximately 120 miles to an existing Newmont oxide mill for processing.
The current vision for the Rosebud Project is to evaluate the remaining higher -grade
mineralization and the surrounding larger volume of lower grade mineralization as a potential
open pit mining operation with on -site, heap-leach processing and recovery of gold and silver.
The Rosebud Project currently hosts an Inferred Mineral Resource of 70.755 million tons grading
0.68gAu/t (0.018opt Au) and 6.49gAg/t (0.189opt Ag) for 1.28 million ounces of gold and 13.4
million ounces of silver. The mineral resource estimate was open pit constrained using long term
gold and silver prices of US$2,500 and US$35 per ounce respectively. The deposit is open in all
directions.
