Cassiar Gold Drills 13.53 g/t Gold over 13.4 meters from 28.2 meters Downhole,
Including 210.71 g/t Gold Over 0.8 m with 369.00 g/t Gold over 0.4 meters from
39.8 m Downhole, Extends Higher-Grade Domains at the Taurus Deposit
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – December 3, 2025 – Cassiar Gold Corp. (TSX -V: GLDC ; OTCQX:
CGLCF) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce results from nine initial diamond drill holes of the 2025
exploration program at the Taurus Deposit , which is located within the Cassiar Gold Project, in northern
British Columbia. Results from these drill holes demonstrate potential for ongoing expansion of near -
surface mineralization along key structural trends and increase the population of high-grade, visible gold-
bearing veins at the deposit . The 2025 drill program comprised 7, 308 meters (m) over 20 drill holes and
concluded in early October. Results a re pending for 5, 243 m of drilling over 11 drill holes from the
Newcoast regional prospect which lies 2 kilometers (km) to the south.
Highlights:
Drill holes from the Taurus deposit reported here encountered significant intercepts above the 0.4 grams
per tonne ( g/t) gold (Au) cutoff of the 2025 Mineral Resource at Taurus [1], with repeated occurrence of
high-grade samples hosted within broader mineralized intervals. Results expand mineralization near
surface and beyond the extent of the current resource block model.
Drilling intercepts are uncapped unless otherwise stated and represent apparent widths of mineralized
zones. A full summary of the latest results can be found in Table 1, and include:
• Drill hole 25TA-245 encountered multiple quartz veins with visible gold, returning:
• 13.53 m of 13.4 g/t Au (2.05 g/t Au capped) from 28.2 m downhole in drill hole 25TA-245,
including:
56.10 g/t Au over 0.3 m, and
210.71 g/t Au over 0.8 m, with 0.4 m of 369.00 g/t Au
• Drill hole 25TA-242:
• 21.9 m of 2.81 g/t Au (2.80 g/t Au capped) from 45.8 m downhole, including:
9.41 g/t Au over 1.5 m,
5.41 g/t Au over 2.7 m, and
6.90 g/t Au over 2.3 m, with 0.30 m of 20.30 g/t Au
• Drill hole 25TA-238:
• 21.7 m of 1.30 g/t Au from 13.1 m down hole, including
8.1 m of 2.18 g/t Au and 0.9 m of 5.11 g/t Au
• 11.3 m of 1.21 g/t Au, including
0.6 m of 8.33 g/t Au, and 0.8 m of 7.38 g/t Au
• 0.9 m of 27.18 g/t Au (9.63 g/t Au capped), including 59.50 g/t Au
• Drill hole 25TA-239:
• 7.56 g/t Au over 2.0 m, including 0.4 m of 19.55 g/t Au and 0.8 m of 9.14 g/t Au
“Our exploration programs demonstrate the Cassiar Gold Project holds meaningful potential as a gold
resource expansion opportunity in an important region in British Columbia,” stated Marco Roque,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Cassiar Gold. “Confirming continuity and establishing extensions
of near-surface higher-grade mineralization in the Taurus East, Southwest, and Sable areas demonstrates
that this well-established foundational resource can continue to grow.”
“Our drilling continues to delineate and extend new higher-grade trends within and adjacent to the Taurus
deposit,” stated Jill Maxwell, VP Exploration of Cassiar Gold. “We continue to intersect visible gold in
structures across the deposit, with opportunity to identify new trends and advance higher-grade domains
along-strike and down-dip in future programs. The results from Taurus East are particularly encouraging
as we continue to evaluate the emerging volume potential at recently established satellite zo nes in the
resource area, within the footprint of the existing mine permit.”

Taurus Deposit
The Taurus Deposit hosts a recently updated substantial near -surface, bulk -tonnage gold resource
comprising an Indicated Mineral Resource of 8.8 million tonnes at 1.43 g/t Au for 410, 000 ounces; with
an additional Inferred Mineral Resource of 63.2 million tonnes at 0.95 g/t Au for 1.93 million ounces [1],
which remains open for expansion. Mineralization outcrops in places, with 91% of the ounces in the
resource occurring within 150 m of surface. Ongoing expansion of the deposit footprint and follow up to
recently identified higher grades trends remained a priority during the 2025 exploration campaign. A total
of nine drill holes were completed at the Taurus deposit this season.
2025 Taurus Drill Holes
The drilling results reported in this news release are from nine drill holes totaling 2,066 m which tested
the outer margins of the known extents of the Taurus deposit . Drilling was distributed across a 1.3 -
kilometer corridor of the deposit footprint to evaluate the expansion potential of mineralization beyond
the block model with step outs ranging from 30 m up to 110 m. The program also followed up to recently
identified quartz veins hosting higher grade gold mineralization along key controlling structural trends
(Figure 1). Several higher -grade sample intervals were intersected internal to broa der mineralized
intercepts (Table 1). These extend the distribution of near-surface mineralization south, east, and west of
previous drilling along an extensive east-northeast striking corridor of sheeted extensional vein sets within
an associated prospective, Au-bearing carbonate-pyrite alteration halo.
Taurus East: drill holes 25TA-243 through 25TA-246
Drill hole 25TA-245 (west-oriented), aimed to evaluate the potential to expand the footprint of the 2025
resource model toward surface through testing potential parallel veins and interpreted extensions of
mineralized veining. Drill holes 25TA-243, -244, and -246 (northwest oriented) were designed to test the
potential for parallel sets, as well as extensions of veins along -strike and down-dip to the east, west, and
south beyond the extent of the 2025 block model.
All of these drill holes returned gold-mineralized intercepts, including 25TA-245 which encountered high
grade samples with visible gold hosted within broader intervals. These drill holes collectively expand the
footprint of known mineralization near-surface and along strike to the south, west, and east beyond the
extend of the 2025 block model. Results include (Table 1; Figures 2,3,4):
• Drill hole 25TA-245 encountered multiple specks of visible gold, returning:
13.4 m of 13.53 g/t Au (2.05 g/t Au capped) from 28.2 m downhole, including
• 0.3 m of 56.10 g/t Au, and
• 0.8 m of 210.71 g/t Au with 0.4 m of 369.00 g/t Au,
• 27.3 m of 0.65 g/t Au from 88.4 m downhole, including 1.1 m of 4.42 g/t Au with 0.6 m of
6.01 g/t Au in hole 25TA-244, and
• 3.6 m of 1.48 g/t Au from 61.2 m downhole, including 0.5 m of 7.08 g/t Au in 25TA-243.

dashed line denoted A – A’ represents the section line location for Figure 2.
Sable: drill holes 25TA-242, -240
Drill hole 25TA-242 (south-oriented) was designed to test an eastward extension of a higher-grade domain
of mineralized quartz veining by evaluating the potential influence of an interpreted discrete northeast
target plane previously untested at this locale. Drill hole 25TA-240 (southwest-oriented) aimed to test for
down dip extensions of known mineralization at Sable.
Mineralization was encountered at the interpreted extensions of mineralized trends at Sable, beyond the
extent of the current resource block model. Results include (Table 1; Figure 3):
• Multiple intercepts returned in hole 25TA-242:
• 21.9 m of 2.81 g/t Au (2.80 g/t Au capped) from 45.8 m downhole, including
• 1.5 m of 9.41 g/t Au, and
• 2.7 m of 5.41 g/t Au with 0.4 m of 8.01 g/t Au,
• also including 0.6 m of 7.35 g/t Au, and
• 2.3 m of 6.90 g/t Au with 0.3 m of 20.30 g/t Au;
• 16.0 m of 0.84 g/t Au from 123.0 m downhole, including 3.1 m of 2.72 g/t Au with
0.5 m of 6.12 g/t Au
• 9.8 m of 1.08 g/t Au from 70.5 m downhole, including 0.5 m of 6.79 g/t Au in hole 25TA-240
Taurus Southwest and Central: drill holes 25TA-238, -239, -241
Drill hole 25TA-238 and 25TA-239 (north-oriented) were designed as follow up to expansion holes from
the 2024 drill program which encountered intervals of higher-grade mineralization and visible gold within
broader intercepts, such as drill hole 24TA-236 with 184.50 g/t Au over 0.3 m nested in a broader intercept
of 3.18 g/t Au over 21.9 m (see NEWS RELEASE, January 16, 2025), while 25TA -241 was designed to test
for parallel vein sets to the south of the 2025 Taurus resource.
All drill holes from the Southwest and Central areas returned gold-mineralized intercepts, including 25TA-
238 which encountered high grade mineralization with visible gold hosted within a broader interval.
Results include (Table 1; Figure 4,5):
• Drill hole 25TA-238:
• 21.7 m of 1.30 g/t Au from 13.1 m downhole , including 8.1 m of 2.18 g/t Au and 0.9 m
of 5.11 g/t Au
• 11.3 m of 1.21 g/t Au from 101.4 m downhole, including 0.6 m of 8.33 g/t Au and 0.8 m
of 7.38 g/t Au
• 0.9 m of 27.18 g/t Au (9.63 g/t Au capped) from 148.9 m downhole, including 0.4 m of
59.50 g/t Au with visible gold

Summary
Drilling at the Taurus deposit continues to demonstrate potential for ongoing expansion of near-surface
mineralization along the main east-northeast striking sheeted vein sets than defined by the 2025 mineral
resource estimate. Drill holes reported here increase the population of high -grade, visible gold-bearing
veins at the deposit, such as drill hole 25TA-245 which delivered 0.3 m grading 56.10 g/t Au and 0.4 m
grading 369.00 g/t, and hole 25TA-238 with 59.50 g/t over 0.4 m, nested in broader intercepts (Table 1).
The technical team continues to evaluate the distribution of these higher -grade results to refine target
interpretations to support future programs and regional targeting efforts.
