Independence Gold Reports Results From Geophysical Survey at the 3Ts Gold and Silver
Project, BC and Provides a Corporate Update
Vancouver, B.C. (January 26, 2026) – Independence Gold Corp. (TSX.V: IGO , OTCQB: IEGCF, FRA:625)
(the “Company”) is pleased to report results from a helicopter -borne airborne magnetic and radiometric
geophysical survey completed in 2025 over the 3Ts Gold and Silver Project (“3Ts”) in central British
Columbia. Located approximately 185 kilometres southwest of Prince George, British Columbia, the 3Ts
Project comprises thirty -one mineral claims covering approximately 35,486 hectares in the Nechako
Plateau region. The project lies 16 km southwest of Artemis Gold Inc.’s Blackwater Mine and hosts a low-
sulphidation epithermal quartz-carbonate vein district within which at least nineteen known mineralized
veins, ranging from 50 to over 1,100 metres in strike length and true widths of up to 32 m have been
identified, twelve of which remain untested by drilling.
The survey was flown by Precision GeoSurveys Inc. and represents the first property-wide geophysical
dataset covering the Company’s recently consolidated mineral tenure at the 3Ts Project. The high -
resolution survey has confirmed key aspects of the regional geology, while significantly refining lithological
boundaries and identifying both large- and small -scale structures that were not previously mapped.
Importantly, the results provide new insight into the structural framework that are believed to control the
distribution and continuity of gold -silver mineralization at the 3Ts Project and define multiple new areas
for follow-up exploration.
Highlights
• First property-wide airborne magnetic and radiometric survey completed across the entire 3Ts
Project area
• Data refines geological contacts and identifies previously unmapped regional and property -scale
structures
• Arcuate and radial structural features identified around Cretaceous-aged plutons are interpreted
to control known gold-silver vein systems
• Structural corridors extend beyond known veins, highlighting potential for additional veins and
extensions within the 3Ts resource area
• Confirmation and further definition of the Ootsa Ring, a distinct structural feature hosting copper-
and silver-dominant mineralization
• Additional untested intrusive-related anomalies identified in the southern portion of the project
“This survey significantly improves our understanding of the 3Ts gold-silver vein systems on a district-wide
scale,” commented Randy Turner, President & CEO of Independence Gold. “For the first time, we can
clearly see the pluton-related structural framework that appears to control the known veins and,
importantly, extends well beyond the areas that have been drilled. This gives us confidence that the 3Ts
resource area still has the potential for additional vein discoveries and extensions, while also highlighting
previously unidentified new targets . This is exactly the kind of low -cost, high-value work that helps us
focus on the future.”

Survey Results and Interpretation
The airborne survey delineated magnetic and radiometric responses which clearly define major
lithological domains, intrusive bodies, and structural features across the project. Several newly identified
structures refine the Company’s understanding of fault systems and fracture corridors which are
interpreted to have acted as pathways for mineralizing fluids. Of particular significance is the identification
of arcuate magnetic features spatially associated with Cretaceous -aged plutons. These features are
interpreted as stress regimes generated during magma emplacement, resulting in concentric and
outward-radiating fracture systems. Radial structures extending away from these plutons coincide with
several of the known gold-silver vein systems at 3Ts, supporting an interp retation that pluton
emplacement played a key role in mineralization emplacement.
These results strengthen the geological model that the Tommy, Ted-Mint, Johnny, Larry, and Ian vein
systems are part of a broader, pluton -related structural framework. Importantly, similar structural
corridors extend beyond the limits of known mineralization, indicating potential for additional veins and
extensions along strike and at depth within the 3Ts resource area. The survey also defined a prominent
ring-shaped structural feature referred to as the Ootsa Ring , which is associated with copper- and silver-
dominant mineralization at surface. This feature is interpreted as a distinct structural expression of the
mineralizing system and represents an additional exploration target with a different metal association.
To the south of the 3Ts resource area, the survey identified several new geophysical anomalies interpreted
as intrusive bodies. These features have not yet been field tested but are considered prospective based
on their geophysical signature and similarity to intrusions associated with gold and silver mineralization
elsewhere on the property.
Significance and Next Steps
The 2025 airborne geophysical survey provides a robust framework for refining exploration targeting at
the 3Ts Project. The identification of pluton-related structural corridors that host known veins and extend
into untested areas supports the potential fo r continued discovery at the project, while the recognition
of additional targets such as the Ootsa Ring and southern intrusions expands the overall exploration
footprint of the project. Follow-up work is expected to include integrated geological mapping,
geochemical sampling, and ground geophysical surveys to further define priority targets ahead of surface
trenching and drill programs.
