GOLDEN GOOSE RESOURCES SIGNS DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT TO ACQUIRE UP TO
100% OF THE HIGH-GRADE GRAN ESPERANZA GOLD PROJECT IN RÍO NEGRO
PROVINCE, ARGENTINA
VANCOUVER, BC – January 29, 2026 – Golden Goose Resources Ltd. (the “Company” or “Golden
Goose”) is pleased to announce th at it has entered into a Defini tive Agreement with Valcheta
Exploraciones S.A.S. (“Valcheta”) to acquire up to a 100% interest in the Gran Esperanza Project
(the “Project”), a highly prospective epitherm al gold-silver property located in Río Negro
Province, Argentina.
The execution of the Definitive Agreement repr esents a significant corporate milestone for
Golden Goose and further reinforces the Company’ s strategy of securing district-scale, high-
grade precious metal assets in proven and emerging mining jurisdictions.
PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS – High-Grade, District-Scale Opportunity
Gran Esperanza Project – Río Negro, Argentina
• ~44,400 hectares of year-round accessible te rrain in the Los Menucos District, North
Patagonian Massif, a region known for its high-grade precious metal potential.
• Surrounded by major operators, including Southern Copper, and located near the
Calcatreu Project which is currently under development1.
• >10 km of historically mapped low-sulfidation epithermal gold vein exposures (Figure 1),
with veins averaging ~1-5 metres in apparent width:
o > 2,900 m of trenching with 690 channel samples collected;
o Channel sample grades reported up to 2.0 m at 24.0 g/t Au, demonstrating high-
grade potential from surface2.
• Several drill-ready targets in an extremely attractive precious metal district.
1The Qualified Person (as defined by National Instrument 43-101) has not verified the information on
adjacent or nearby properties, and such information is not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the
Gran Esperanza Project.
2Readers are cautioned that the Qualified Person has not completed sufficient work to verify the
historical information, and therefore such information should not be relied upon.

Project Scale, Access, and Geological Upside
• Approximately 44,400 hectares of year-round accessible terrain in the Los Menucos
District within the North Patagonian Massif.
• Benefits from excellent infras tructure – situated approxim ately two kilometres from a
paved highway, with gentle topography and numerous secondary roads across the
property.
• Adjacent to a gold project currently being drilled by Southern Copper, highlighting the
district’s active and growing exploration profile (Figure 1).
• The Project’s extensive land position and th e distribution of mapped epithermal veins
across the property highlights the potential for district-scale mineralization at Gran
Esperanza (Figure 1).

Historical Exploration at the Gran Esperanza Project
• Mapped ~10 kilometres trend with low-sulfidation epithermal veins;
• Veins average ~1-5 metres in width, with exposed vein strike-lengths ranging from 50 to
2,500 metresa;
• 30 trenches excavated, exposing 2,937 metres (apparent length) of epithermal veins;
• 690 continuous channel samples collected;
• 1,674 total rock samples, including grab, chip, channels, and floatb;
• Veins characterized by drusy quartz, banding, crustiform, and carbonate replacement.
• Historical surface sampling highlights includec
o Channels:
2.0 metres at 24.0 g/t Au
5.0 metres at 13.1 g/t Au
1.3 metres at 11.5 g/t Au
3.0 metres at 4.4 g/t Au
0.2 metres at 99.0 g/t Ag and 2.8% Cu
1.2 metres at 129.0 g/t Ag and 3.5% Cu
0.3 metres at 52.0 g/t Ag
o Rock chip samples:
Grades of up to 24.4 g/t Au
aTrue widths of mineralized zones and veins described in historical channel cuts and mapping have not yet
been confirmed at this time and will require additional follow-up.
bGrab, chip, and float samples are selective by nature and are not necessarily indicative of mineralized
zones.
cReaders are cautioned that the Qualified Person has not completed sufficient work to verify the
historical information, and therefore such information should not be relied upon.
Golden Goose Management Site Visit at Gran Esperanza
Prior to execution of the Definitive Agreem ent, Golden Goose completed a comprehensive
technical and legal due diligence process, includin g a detailed review of historical data, surface
geology, sampling records, land tenure, permitting status, and third-party technical reports.
As part of this process, the Company conducted a site visit in December 2025, during which four
rock-chip samples were collected from exposed mineralized veins. Three chip samples returned
gold values above 2.0 g/t Au, including one sample grading 14.34 g/t Au, providing confirmation
of the high-grade potential in the mineralized system.

Option Terms
Under the Definitive Agreement, Golden Goose may earn up to a 100% interest in the Gran
Esperanza Project through a staged option co nsisting of cash payments and exploration
expenditures:
Option Stage Cash Payment (US$) Expenditures (US$) Deadline
Effective Date $3,000 – Paid
Confirmation Date $15,000 – Paid
First Option $511,500 $1,670, 000 November 30, 2029
Second Option $415,000 $929,000 November 30, 2030
Third Option $945,000 – No deadline
Total $1,889,500 $2,599,000 –
The Project is subject to a 1.0% net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty, of which Golden Goose has
the right to purchase 0.5% for US$1.0 million.
Golden Goose retains full flexibility to accelerate option payments or exploration expenditures
at its discretion, allowing the Company to adva nce the Project on an accelerated timeline if
warranted by results. Exploration expenditures may be substituted, in whole or in part, with cash
payments to Valcheta.

Management Commentary
Dustin Nanos, CEO of Golden Goose Resources, commented:
“Signing the Definitive Agreement for Gran Es peranza represents an important milestone and
transformative step for Golden Goose. The Project stands out due to its favorable structural and
geological setting, confirmation of numerous surface-exposed vein networks, excellent historical
reported grades, and outstanding site access. Duri ng a site visit in Dece mber, our team visited
confirmed gold-mineralized veins on the property . Despite being preliminary, these results and
observed vein density are very encouraging. Th e information collected to date positions Gran
Esperanza as a compelling, drill-ready exploration project with the potential to rapidly deliver
high-impact results. We look forward to adva ncing the project through systematic surface
exploration programs on the property.”
Qualified Person
The technical content of this news release has been reviewed and approved by Marie-Pier Boivin,
P.Geo, Senior Geologist at Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd., a consultant of the Company,
and a Qualified Person pursuant to National Instrument 43-101.
Quality control
During the December 2025 site visit by the Company, four rock-chip samples were collected from
exposed mineralized veins at the Gran Esperanz a Project. Chip samples were collected along
continuous sections perpendicular to the mapped veins, transferred into sample bags with
unique sample ID tags, and sealed , before being sent to a certified commerc ial laboratory (ASI
Laboratories, Mendoza, Argentina). The gold analyses were completed by fire assay with atomic
absorption finish on 50 grams of material (m ethod Au4-50). The Comp any has relied on the
internal lab QAQC procedures for the surface sa mple analysis. ASI Argentina is independent of
the Company.
