Canagold Announces Positive Antimony Concentrate Production Results for the New Polaris Project Grading 59.1 % Sb and 98.3 gpt. Au
Canagold Announces Positive Antimony Concentrate Production Results for the New Polaris
Project Grading 59.1 % Sb and 98.3 gpt. Au
Vancouver, B.C. – October 1, 2025 - Canagold Resources Ltd. (TSX: CCM, OTC-QB: CRCUF, Frankfurt:
CANA) (“Canagold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce positive results from antimony (Sb)
flotation testing for its 100% owned New Polaris gold-antimony project located in northwest British
Columbia, Canada.
Antimony Flotation Locked Cycle Test Results
High quality and High recovery Sb-Au Concentrate
• Sb-Au Concentrate assaying 59.1 % Sb and 98.3 gpt Au
• 93.1 % Sb recovery in Sb-Au concentrate and overall, 91.8% Au recovery in the
combined Au and Sb-Au concentrates
“The Feasibility Study (“FS”) completed in July 2025 has already demonstrated exceptional economics,
with low Capex and low AISC for the New Polaris Gold-Antimony Project,” stated Canagold’s Chief
Executive Officer, Catalin Kilofliski. “Although antimony mining was included in the FS, no revenue from
antimony has been accounted for at this stage. These new results highlight the project’s ability to
produce a very high-grade gold-antimony concentrate, which has the potential to create significant
additional value on top of the already outstanding economics.”
Table 1: Antimony Locked Cycle Flotation Results
Flotation testing commenced in April 2025 at Blue Coast Research Ltd. in Parksville, B.C., utilizing a 110-
kilogram composite sample derived from 47 diamond drill core samples across 17 drill holes in the high-
grade antimony zone. This zone is delineated in the January 22, 2025, resource model, referenced in the
Image 1 below:

Critical Metals/Antimony
• A total of 5,630 tonnes of Sb grading 0.6% is included in the Company’s Indicated MRE dated
April 2, 2025
• A total of 5,173 tonnes Sb is included in the FS mine plans
•
The Feasibility Study does not currently account for any revenue from antimony, as the process
flowsheet outlined in the study was specifically designed to produce a bulk sulphide concentrate.
While antimony has been known to occur at New Polaris since the early mining activities of the 1940s
and 1950s, its economic importance has increased significantly in recent years due to global supply
constraints and sharply rising prices.
The Company will continue further metallurgical test work and economic assessments to evaluate the
potential for including antimony revenue in the project’s financial model.
Should future studies confirm its viability, the addition of antimony revenue will further enhance overall
project economics, particularly since the associated mining costs are already largely supported by gold
production. Nonetheless, there can be no assurances that ongoing work will ultimately support this
outcome.

regarding future or estimated financial and operational performance, gold production and sales, revenues
and cash flows, and capital costs (sustaining and non-sustaining) and operating costs, including projected
cash operating costs and AISC ; future or estimated mine life, metal price assumptions, ore grades or
sources, gold recovery rates, throughput, ore processing; statements regarding anticipated future plans,
development, construction, permitting and other activities or achievements of Canagold; and including,
without limitation: planned gold production; the results and estimates in the FS, including the project life,
average annual gold production, total gold production, processing rate, capital cost, net present value,
after-tax net cash flow and payback; and the potential to develop the New Polaris Project as an
underground gold mine. All statements in this news release that address events or developments that we
expect to occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements
