About Banyan

Banyan's primary asset, the AurMac Project is located in the Traditional Territory of First Nation

of Na -Cho Nyäk Dun, in Canada’s Yukon Territory. The current Mineral Resource Estimate

(“MRE”) for the AurMac Project has an effective date of June 28, 2025 and comprises an Indicated

Mineral Resource of 2.274 million ounces of gold (" Au") (112.5 M tonnes at 0.63 g/t) and an

Inferred Mineral Resource of 5.453 M oz of Au (280.6 M tonnes at 0.60 g/t ) (as defined in the

Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (" CIM") Definition Standards for Mineral

Resources & Mineral Reserves incorporated by reference into NI 43 -101). The 303 square

kilometres (“ sq km ”) AurMac Project lies 40 km from Mayo, Yukon. The AurMac Project is

transected by the main Yukon highway and benefits from a 3 -phase powerline, existing power

station and cell phone coverage

Notes to Table 1:

1. The effective date for the MRE is June 28, 2025 and was prepared by Marc Jutras, P.Eng., M.A.Sc., Principal,

Ginto Consulting Inc., an independent "Qualified Person" within the meaning of NI 43-101.

2. Mineral Resources which are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate

of Mineral Resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation,

sociopolitical, marketing, changes in global gold markets or other relevant issues.

3

3. The CIM Definition Standards were followed for classification of Mineral Resources. The quantity and grade

of reported Inferred Mineral Resources in this estimation are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient

exploration to define these Inferred Mineral Resources as an Indicated Mineral Resource.

4. Mineral Resources are reported at a cut-off grade of 0.30 g/t gold for all deposits, using a US$/CAN$ exchange

rate of 0.73 and constrained within an open pit shell optimized with the Lerchs -Grossman algorithm to

constrain the Mineral Resources with the following estimated parameters: gold price of US $2,050/ounce,

US$2.50/t mining cost, US$10.00/t processing cost, US$2.00/t G+A, 90% gold recoveries, and 45° pit slopes.1

5. The number of tonnes and ounces was rounded to the nearest thousand. Any discrepancies in the totals are

due to rounding effects.
