Banyan Gold Intersects 5.58g/t Au Over 21.7 m in New High-grade Gold Zone at
the Powerline Deposit, AurMac Project, Yukon, Canada

VANCOUVER, BC, June 17, 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”) southwest of the main
high-grade core. These diamond drill intersections highlight a new potential high -grade
zone at the AurMac Project (“AurMac”), Yukon, Canada.
Highlights from New Powerline Southwest Zone:
• AX-26-853 – 13.00 g/t Au over 9.2m within 5.58 g/t Au over 21.7m, including
high-grade interval of 62.66 g/t Au over 1.8m and;
1.64 g/t Au over 11.5m within 0.70 g/t Au over 32.2m
• AX-26-826 – 0.99 g/t Au over 9.4m within 0.65 g/t Au over 20.0m; including very
high-grade interval of 17.30 g/t Au over 0.4m
• AX-26-829 – 2.51 g/t Au over 11.7m and 2.75 g/t Au over 9.3m within 0.90 g/t
Au over 38.7m; including very high-grade interval of 39.80 g/t Au over 0.5m
• AX-26-830 – 0.70 g/t Au over 28.5m within 0.67 g/t Au over 56.8mm
• AX-26-835 – 1.29 g/t Au over 8.0m
• AX-26-842 – 0.96 g/t Au over 7.6m within 0.37 g/t Au over 33.9m
“The successful step-outs from 2025 in the southwest portion of Powerline, have defined
a new potential high-grade zone (Figures 1 and 2), highlighted with drill results of 13.00
g/t Au over 9.2m, within 5.58 g/t Au over 21.7m in hole AX-26-853, including 62.66 g/t
over 1.8m (see Figure 3, Table 1)," stated Tara Christie, President and CEO. “This very
high-grade skarn-hosted mineralization (Figure 7) demonstrates the potential to discover
and develop new mineralized zones at Powerline and AurMac in addition to high -grade
domains associated with sheeted quartz veins (Figures 8 and 9) . We are consistently
intersecting visible gold as we are targeting high grade mineralized domains.”

Figure 2: Plan map of Powerline Southwest 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 (Figures 3-6).

lithologic model. 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.
