NEWS RELEASE
Independence Gold Evacuates the 3Ts Project Due to BC Wildfires
Vancouver, B.C. (August 2 8th, 202 5) – Independence Gold Corp. (TSX.V: IGO)(OTCQB: IEGCF) (the
“Company” or “Independence”) has evacuated the 3Ts Project due to the close proximity to a wildfire. The
wildfire started on August 27, 2025 and is believed to have been caused by a lightning strike. The wildfire
has grown to more than 40 hectares in size and has been classified as out of control by the BC Wildfire
Service (“BCWS”). BCWS crews are responding to the wildfire with helicopter support. All field personnel
and contractors were successfully evacuated from the project site.
Randy Turner, President & CEO of the Company commented, “The safety and security of the personnel on
site is always our top priority . The wildfire was first noticed by the crew that was soil sampling and was
immediately reported. Because of their due diligence, everyone at site was able to be safely evacuated.
Our thoughts are with the communities who remain affected by the wildfires and the hard -working
firefighters who are battling the fires. Exploration at 3Ts will recommence once it is safe to return to site
at the direction of the BC Wildfire Service.”
