NEWS RELEASE

Evergold Announces $350,000 Non-Brokered Convertible Debenture

Private Placement with CJ Greig to Finance Drilling in Early

November at the DEM Gold Prospect

Toronto, Ontario – October 29, 2025 - Evergold Corp. (TSX-V: EVER, WKN: A2PTHZ) (“Evergold” or the

“Company”) is pleased to announce that C.J. Greig Holdings Ltd., a company wholly-owned by C.J. “Charlie”

Greig, a director of the Company and Evergold’s Chief Exploration Officer (the “ Investor”), has agreed to

subscribe for up to $ 350,000 (the “Offering”) of an unsecured convertible debenture (the “ Debenture”). The

Debenture bears interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum and will mature on December 31, 2026 (the “ Maturity

Date”). Subject to certain conditions, the principal amount of the Debenture is convertible into an aggregate of

up to 1,521,739 common shares (assuming the entire principal amount is converted) in the capital of Evergold

(each, a “Debenture Share”) at any time prior to the Maturity Date at a conversion price of $0.23 per Debenture

Share. Interest accrued on all or any portion of the Debenture being converted by the holder may also be

converted into common shares at the option of the Investor at the time of conversion at a conversion price

equal to the Market Price (as that term is used in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (“ TSXV”)) as at

the date of conversion. The Investor will also receive 3,000 detachable common share purchase warrants

(“Warrants”) for each $1,000 of principal of the Debenture subscribed for, for a total of 1,050,000 Warrants .

Each Warrant will be exercisable into one Share at a price of $0.23 per Warrant until the date that is two years

from the date of issuance.

The proceeds from the Convertible Debenture are expected to allow for the immediate completion, prior to the

expected near -term onset of winter, of a drill hole below highly encouraging intersections of precious and

critical metals achieved in 2023 and 2024 within the DEM Mountain Zone, located on the Company’s DEM

property near Fort St. James in central BC (news, January 15, 2024 and December 11, 2024). Closing of the

Offering is subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals including the approval of the TSX

Venture Exchange. All securities issued and issuable are subject to a hold period of four months and one day

from the date of issuance.

“We thank Charlie for this vote of confidence in the Company’s prospects,” said Kevin Keough, President and

CEO. “We presently interpret the DEM Mountain Zone to be a near vertical, structurally-focused, epithermal

system. Previous drill results delivered an array of both precious and critical metals over broad system widths

including, locally, high grades. Geophysical survey results indicate the system is deep running. As such there

is excellent potential for better grades over strong widths at depth. Our plan is to test this model with the

pending limited program of drilling, which will get underway within approximately one week.”

2023 and 2024 Drilling

As shown in Figures 1 and 2, hole DEM23-03, drilled due west at minus 50 degrees, intersected a broad (48.2

metre wide, est. 40 metres true width) zone of mesothermal- to epithermal-style gold mineralization grading

0.58 g/t Au from 303 to 351.2 metres , with associated cobalt, silver, copper, tellurium and antimony credits

(news, January 15, 2024). Only 48 metres (12%) of this hole was sampled and assayed, although XRF results

indicated isolated narrow system intersections were also achieved at shallower depths up- hole. Within the

broad 48 metre assayed envelope, the interval from 339 to 340.5 metres returned 11.98 g/t Au, including a

half metre of 29.5 g/t Au from 340.0 to 340.5 metres . The DEM23-03 intersection was targeted the following

year by hole DEM24- 05, drilled to a south azimuth perpendicular to that of DEM23- 03 (Figure 2). This hole

2

also returned encouraging results, including strongly elevated antimony over broad widths (news, December

11, 2024).

2025 Proposed Drill Hole DEM25-06

Results to date, including an increase in the number of porphyritic dykes downhole in prior drilling and a general

broadening with depth of the geophysical (I P and CSAMT) responses , suggest good potential for system

continuity and strengthening with depth. Proposed hole DEM25- 06 (see Figures 1 and 3) will therefore be

drilled from the same pad as DEM23- 03, which was left in place, but at a steeper inclination ( minus 70

degrees), targeting approximately 200 metres vertically below the intersection achieved in DEM23- 03, for a

projected length of approximately 600 metres. The key goals for this hole will be to demonstrate system

continuity to depth, and to determine the orientation, widths and grade of any mineralized structures. Results

will guide future drilling.

About the DEM Project

The 12,728-hectare DEM property is ideally located in moderate terrain only 40 kms northwest of Fort St.

James in central B.C. The project area lies toward the south end of the Nation Lakes porphyry camp and within

the Quesnel terrane, the latter of which hosts large deposits and long- life mines including the Mount Milligan

mine (50 kms to the northeast of DEM) the Lorraine deposit and, farther south, the Mt. Polley, Afton, Copper

Mountain, and Brenda mines, in addition to the Highland Valley mines and deposits.

Located central to the DEM property is the DEM prospect, a roughly 4km 2 target area defined by alteration

and mineralogy suggestive of the presence of a porphyry system, by a multi -element soil geochemical

signature, by compelling high- relief magnetic, IP -chargeability and CSAMT resistivity anomalies, and by the

presence of nearby regional scale structures. Extensive logging in the area and associated forest service roads

provide drive-on access directly to the DEM prospect.

Reconnaissance drill programs (3 holes for 947 metres in 2023 and 2 holes for 654 metres in 2024) returned

narrow intercepts, locally, of high- grade gold, silver and strategic metals (antimony, cobalt, copper,

molybdenum, tellurium, tungsten, and rhenium) generally encompassed by a broad low -grade envelope,

localized to a magnetic low within the higher elevations of DEM Mountain (see news, January 15, 2024). Drill

holes intercepted variably calcareous fine- grained sedimentary rocks cut locally by metre- scale porphyritic

dykes, with the host rocks, and locally the dykes, are cross-cut over core lengths of up to 50 metres by sulphide-

bearing veinlets and veins, locally of semi-massive to massive character, along with associated disseminated

sulphides. These intervals were also encompassed by broader halos of lower -intensity dis seminated and

sulphide-bearing veinlets and veins. Sulphide minerals observed in core included abundant disseminated and

vein-hosted arsenopyrite, pyrite, and pyrrhotite, with lesser but significant sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite, and

molybdenite. Sulphosalts were also commonly observed.

Related Party Transaction

C.J. Greig Holdings Ltd., a company wholly -owned by C.J. “Charlie” Greig, a director of the Company and

Evergold’s Chief Exploration Officer, is expected to acquire the entire $350,000 principal amount of Convertible

Debentures. This issuance of securities constitutes a “related party transaction” as such term is defined under

Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”).

The Company is relying on an exemption from the formal valuation and mi nority shareholder approval

requirements provided under MI 61-101 pursuant to section 5.5(a) and section 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61- 101, on the

basis that the issuance of the securities does not exceed 25% of the fair market value of the Company's market

capitalization.

Qualified Person

Charles J. Greig, M.Sc., P.Geo., the Company’s Chief Exploration Officer and a Qualified Person as defined
