Gold Finder Provides Update on Exploration Activities in Northwestern Ontario
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Gold Finder Provides Update on Exploration Activities in
Northwestern Ontario
VANCOUVER, BC – September 3, 2 025 – Gold Finder Resources Ltd. (TSX -V: GLD)
(OTCQB: GLDFF) (“Gold Finder” or the “Company”) is a gold explorer focused on the
discovery potential of overlooked and underexplored properties. The Company's current properties
are all located in northwestern Ontario, home to some of the world's most productive gold belts
(Figure 1).
Figure 1: Property locations within the Archean Greenstone Belts of Northwestern Ontario.
Current projects include the West Madse n, Pipestone Bay , Pakwash North, and McDonough
properties all located in the Red Lake Mining District; and the Slate Falls property located in the
Patricia Mining District (Figure 1). An exploration update on each project follows.
West Madsen Property
Results from the summer 2025 prospecting and soil sampling program have now been received and
will be released shortly following a review and assessment of the geochemical data.
Gold Finder owns a 100% interest in the West Madsen property, which was originally acquired
from Great Bear Resources , and now covers 5,936 hectares in the heart of the Red Lake Gold
Camp. West Madsen adjoins the Madsen Mine property (Figure 2) owned by West Red Lake Gold
Mines (WRLG). Production at the Madsen Mine restarted in June and , as reported in WRLG ’s
operations update of August 6, 2025 , 3,800 ounces of gold were produced in July , and ore
processing at the mill is ramping up to the permitted 800 tonnes per day.

Slate Falls Property
The 100 %-owned Slate Falls property is located within the southwestern extension of the Meen -
Dempster Greenstone Belt, between the Red Lake and Pickle Lake gold camps. The 5,100-hectare
property covers k ey regional-scale structures that correlate with numerous high -grade gold and
silver showings identified over a 10-kilometre trend within the claim package. Previously reported
work in 2019 and 2020, targeted east-west shear zones containing high -grade quartz veins where
grab samples returned values of up to 331.8 grams per tonne (g /t) gold and 3,025 g/t silver , and
follow-up drilling returned values of up to 78.5 g/t gold and 73.7 g/t silver over 0.24 metres.
Subsequent work on the property has included an airborne high-resolution magnetic (MAG) survey
and a structural study that incorporated the MAG survey data with all known lithological and
mineralogical information and structural measurements . The resulting interpretation highlighted
major east-northeast-trending shear zones and fold structures across the property (see structural
interpretation map).
The next phase of target development fieldwork will include a fresh look at the high-grade Trail
and Sanderson zones. Mapping and sampling will also be carried out on showings in the eastern
part of the property, which Gold Finder has never visited, such as the FTM Zone (historical grab
samples up to 149 g/t gold and 169 g/t silver) and the Fry Lake #5 Occurrence (3.8 g/t gold and
0.083% uranium oxide).
The Company is actively engaged in discussions with local First Nations regarding an updated
Exploration Agreement. Further updates will be provided as they become available.
Pipestone Bay Property
A prospecting program in the western part of the Pipestone Bay Property earlier this summer did
not yield any significant gold results from grab samples, with values ranging from <2 to 74 ppb
gold. However, several horizons of banded iron formation were identified, which have previously
returned anomalous gold values on the property (with a known maximum of 730 ppb gold). Higher-
grade values are known to occur along strike to the southeast of the property (e.g. the historical
Ledge showings where gold is related to quartz veining near mafic-felsic contact zones and banded
iron formation, with values up to 22.1 g/t gold over 0.5 meters in channel samples and 7.7 g/t gold
over 0.9m including 30.9 g/t gold over 0.14m in diamond drill core (Singh 2005)). Systematic
geological mapping, prospecting and soil sampling is warranted in the western part of the property,
followed by backhoe stripping and diamond drilling if warranted.
Meanwhile, the 991 Zone in the eastern part of the property remains a drill-ready target. Only one
known drillhole has tested the zone, which is hosted in felsic volcanic rocks at the contact with a
folded ultramafic body to the north. The 2004 hole intersected a 200-meter-wide quartz-sericite
alteration zone containing anomalous gold and copper values but was drilled parallel to high-grade
north-south quartz veins previously identified at the showing, which Gold Finder sampled in 2019,
obtaining up to 44.9 g/t gold from grab samples.
Figure 3: Pipestone Bay Property regional setting.
The 100%-owned, 1,015-hectare Pipestone Bay property is located approximately 32 km west of
the town of Red Lake and is adjacent to the Rowan Property of West Red Lake Gold Mines
(WRLG) (Figure 3). The 991 Zone may represent the western extension of a regi onal structural
corridor on the Rowan property which hosts three past producing gold mines: Mt Jamie, Rowan
and Red Summit. WRLG recently carried out a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the
Rowan Mine , reporting an Indicated resource of 0.197 Moz at 12.78 g/t gold and an Inferred
resource of 0.118 Moz at 8.73 g/t gold (Note: the QP has not verified the reported resource
estimates and these are not necessarily representative of mineralization present on the Pipestone
Bay Property).
Pakwash North Property
Located ~36 km southeast of the town of Red Lake, Gold Finder holds a 40% interest in the 3,105-
hectare Pakwash North property with BTU Metals having earned the remaining 60% interest in the
property via a March 2021 option agreement. Exploration work by BTU included Time Domain
Electromagnetic and Induced Polarization surveys over part of the property and a four-drill hole
program that returned low values in copper, zinc, and gold.
The property adjoins the southeastern portion of BTU ’s Dixie Halo property that was optioned to
Kinross Gold in February 2023 and the northern boundary of Kinross’s Bruce Lake property (see
area claim map). BTU announced on May 20, 2025, that Kinross had commenced a drill program
that is planned to include approximately 8,000 metres on various target areas identified as priority
locations for potential gold mineralization. Results are expected in early Q4 as reported in BTU’s
Annual Management’s Discussion and Analysis dated August 5, 2025. Should the Kinross drilling
program result in a new discovery near the Pakwash North claim boundary, it could enhance the
exploration potential of the property.
McDonough Property
A review of all geochemical, geological, and diamond drilling data was completed this summer to
understand why 2023 drilling did not intersect significant gold mineralization despite the
coincident geochemical and geophysical anomalies which were targeted, and to assess any other
potential targets of merit.
Figure 4: McDonough 2025 property review, geology, and area recommendations.
Two areas were identified for follow-up geological mapping, prospecting and soil sampling.
The first is to the south of where 2023 drilling took place, towards a regional unconformity (Figure
4). Hole MCD23-04 intersected an intermediate intrusive rock over its final 71 meters, which is
similar to the rock type hosting gold and silver mineralization in quartz veins at the Winter Road
Lake West Occurrence in the western part of the property, which according to the Ontario Mineral
Inventory (OMI) returned 0.435 g/t gold and 2.7 oz/ton silver over 2.13 meters in 1987 diamond
drilling.
The second area of interest is north of where 2023 drilling took place, where 2019 field work
identified further outcrops of intermediate intrusive rock which could be prospective for gold
mineralization.
Gold Finder holds a 100% ownership interest in the McDonough property , which is located ~15
km north of the town of Red Lake , the 1,054 -hectare property is contiguous with Evolution
Mining’s Slate Bay gold property and straddles a regional unconformity (see regional geology
map) that is a key structural signature of many deposits within the Red Lake Greenstone Belt.
