Banyan Gold Expands High-Grade Domains at Powerline,
AurMac Project, Yukon, Canada
July 6, 2026, TSX-V: BYN
VANCOUVER, BC, July 6, 2026 - Banyan Gold Corp. (the "Company" or "Banyan") (TSX-
V: BYN) (OTCQB: BYAGF) is pleased to announce it has intersected high -grade gold
(“Au”) mineralization in the Powerline Deposit (“Powerline”) west of the main high-grade
core. These diamond drill intersections highlight new expansion potential and domains in
a portion of Powerline, AurMac Project (“AurMac”), Yukon, Canada.
Highlights from Powerline West:
• AX-26-833 – 0.79 g/t Au over 13.9metres (“m”) AND 1.94 g/t Au over 7.6m
• AX-26-834 – 1.38 g/t Au over 7.7 m within 0.61 g/t Au over 21.1m
• AX-26-841 – 1.00 g/t Au over 13.7m within 0.47 g/t Au over 41.3m
• AX-26-844 – 0.79 g/t Au over 12.5m
• AX-26-854 – 1.12 g/t Au over 13.1m within 0.72 g/t Au over 24.6m
• AX-26-861 – 1.06 g/t Au over 9.6m within 0.62 g/t Au over 20.0m; including a
high-grade interval of 6.29 g/t Au over 1.0m
“Banyan Gold has intersected new high -grade domains in Powerline West and visible
gold in the initial drillholes of the season,” stated Tara Christie, CEO and President. “With
our new MRE and upgraded 3D model we are able to identify and target new domains in
areas of the deposit that have not been drilled in several years. High-grade domains have
been identified just outside of the conceptual pit boundary for the 2026 MRE , indicating
potential for up-dip and along-strike expansion of these zones (Figures 1 and 2).”

Figure 1: Plan map of Powerline West with drill intersection highlights from this release. MRE blocks shown are all
contained in the US$3,500/oz Au conceptual pit and at a cutoff of >0.3 g/t Au. Drillholes in this release highlight potential
to extend and delineate new high-grade zones in the core of Powerline Southwest (Figure 2).

Figure 2: Cross-section 465750mE from Powerline West at AurMac. Mineralized domains are overlaid on the
lithologic model. Mineralized domains are open up-dip and at depth, with potential to expand the mineralized
envelope as well as convert significant un-estimated blocks that fall within the conceptual pit. The MRE block model
is constrained by mineralized domains and the lithologic domains. Mineral Resource blocks are 10m x 10m x 5m.
Only blocks >0.30 g/t Au cutoff and within the US$3,500/oz Au conceptual pit shell are included in the MRE.
Expanded mineralized domains associated with altered metasedimentary rocks hosting
cross-cutting sheeted veins (Figures 3 and 4) have been identified in drilling from 2026
in Powerline West. Previous drilling in the area was completed at 100m spacing, which
resulted in few mineralized domains being identified. Intersecting visible gold (Figure 5)
in the first drillhole of the season, in an area previously characterized by limited high-
grade mineralization, is promising for the potential to upgrade the domains as continuity
is tested for indicated conversion. Additionally, it identifies potential new domains below
the conceptual pit floor and north and west of the pit boundary (Figures 1 and 2).

Figure 3: Mineralized sheeted quartz veins in metasedimentary rocks in Powerline West from diamond drillhole AX-
26-834, typical of intrusion-related gold systems and the majority of Powerline-style mineralization. Large (>1cm
width) cross-cutting multiphase quartz veins are typically associated with high-grade domains in Powerline.

Figure 4: Mineralized sheeted quartz veins in altered metasedimentary rocks in Powerline West from diamond
drillhole AX-26-833, typical of intrusion-related gold systems and the majority of Powerline-style mineralization. High
densities (>3 veins per metre) of smaller cross-cutting quartz veins (approx. 1cm width) in highly altered rocks are
typical of some mineralized domains in Powerline.

Figure 5: Visible gold intersected in the majority of drillholes. Examples from: top left – AX-26-824 311.9m visible gold
intergrown with pyrite in sheeted quartz vein in the first drillhole of the season; top right – AX-26-828 172.2m visible
gold on margins of sphalerite grain in sheeted quartz vein; bottom left AX-26-844 194.4m visible gold grain spatially
associated with arsenopyrite grain in sheeted quartz vein; bottom right AX-26-861 215.4m visible gold in sheeted
quartz vein spatially associated with pyrite. Visible gold is often associated with bismuth sulphosalts or accessory
sulphides. While generally associated with high-grade mineralization, visible gold does not always correlate with final
gold assays.
