Dryden Gold Reports 6.4 g/t Gold over 3.30
Meters inc. 153.10 g/t Gold over 1.00 Meters in
New High-Grade Footwall Structure at Pearl
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 4, 2026) -
Dryden Gold Corp. (TSXV: DRY)
(OTCQB: DRYGF) (FSE: X7W)
("
Dryden Gold
" or the "
Company
") is pleased announce new drill
results which tested the Pearl zone in the Gold Rock Target Area. Results show continued expansion of
the mineralization at Gold Rock with the discovery of two new footwall zones parallel to the main Elora
shear structure at Pearl. (Figure 1). This is the first significant mineralization discovered in the footwall of
the Elora Shear at Pearl establishing another high-grade exploration target at Gold Rock (

).
Further interpretation of existing data and this new drilling has revealed a second high-grade pod on the
main Elora shear zone. Dryden Gold drilled five new holes totaling approximately 1,600 meters testing
along the 600-meter strike length from Jubilee to Pearl. (Figure 2) The highlighted intercepts are near
surface from 15 to 70 meters vertical depth.
Highlights:
Hole DGR-032 returned 6.4 g/t gold over 3.30 meters including 152.10 g/t gold over 1.00
meters in new high-grade footwall zone at Pearl
Hole DGR-031 returned 77.90 g/t gold over 0.50 meters in a second footwall zone at Pearl
Hole DGR-032 returned 1.61 g/t gold over 16.40 meters including 6.81 g/t gold over 2.50
meters in the Elora shear at Pearl
Trey Wasser, CEO of Dryden Gold, stated, "We continue to expand the Gold Rock Target Area with
these first holes from our 2026 drill program. These drill results at Pearl continue the Gold Rock theme-
multiple stacked structures, with near surface high-grade gold, combined with wide zones of lower grade
mineralization. We have discovered another pod of high-grade gold on the Elora shear structure that we
will continue to test as our fully funded 32,000-meter program will be focused on Gold Rock for most of
this spring. Further expansion of the area from Pearl to Jubilee demonstrates a robust this system with
huge potential at Gold Rock."
The Gold Rock Target Area will be a major focus of the 2026 exploration campaign. In addition to these
new results on Pearl, the Company will be testing the Big Master Gold System (Figure 1) with the goal of
expanding the high-grade mineralization at Treasure and Barrelman. Current drilling at Big Master was
designed to expand and test the near surface footprint of the high-grade gold structures and testing the
interpreted geologic controls from our 2025 structural study.
Maura Kolb, President of Dryden Gold, commented, "These new results from Pearl are very exciting. For
the first time, we are seeing high-grade mineralization in the footwall of Pearl much like the high-grade
mineralization we encountered last year in the hanging wall structures at Jubilee.
We also continue to
see wide zones of lower grade mineralization at Pearl.
We will now be testing additional targets, along
strike, on the foot wall of the Elora shear structure."

Analytical Laboratory and QA/QC Procedures
The Company is drilling NQ size core. Samples are cut in half, with half going to the lab for analysis and
half kept as a record. True thickness/widths of the mineralization is unknown, result intervals are reported
as the drilled core lengths unless otherwise stated. All sampling completed by Dryden Gold Corp. within
its exploration programs is subject to a Company standard of internal quality control and quality
assurance (QA/QC) programs which include the insertion of certified reference materials, blank
materials, and a level of duplicate analysis. Drill samples from the 2024, 2025 and 2026 programs were
sent to Activation Laboratories, with sample preparation and analysis in Dryden, where they were
processed for gold analysis by 50-gram fire assay with an atomic absorption finish and over limits
determined by Fire Assay with a gravimetric finish. Select samples were analyzed using metallic
screens. Activation Laboratories systems conform to requirements of ISO/IEC Standard 17025
guidelines and meets assay requirements outlined for NI 43-101.
