Labrador GOLD Provides Update ON Exploration at the Hopedale and Borden Lake Extension GOLD Projects
NEWS RELEASE November 6, 2025
LABRADOR GOLD PROVIDES UPDATE ON EXPLORATION AT THE HOPEDALE AND
BORDEN LAKE EXTENSION GOLD PROJECTS
TORONTO, ON – November 6 , 2025 – Labrador Gold Corp. (TSX.V: LAB | OTCQB: NKOSF | FNR: 2N6)
(“LabGold” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on its 2025 exploration program s at the
Hopedale, Labrador and Borden Lake , Ontario gold project s. The Hopedale property covers much of the
Archean-age Florence Lake greenstone belt that stretches over 60 km and is prospective for orogenic gold,
volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) and magmatic copper -nickel deposits. The Borden Lake Extension
property occurs in the Kapuskasing S tructural Zone and is contiguous with Discovery ’s Borden Gold Mine
property.
Hopedale
The main focus of the 2025 exploration program was along the Thurber Gold trend. This three-kilometre
trend, on the northernmost license, is defined by four significant gold occurrences (Thurber South, Thurber
Dog, TD 500 and Thurber North) surrounded by anomalous gold in rock and soil samples (Figure 1) that occur
along the contact of intensely carbonate altered ultramafic volcanic rocks and altered felsic or mafic volcanic
rocks.
Geophysics: A 26-line kilometre pole-dipole Induced Polarization (IP)/Resistivity survey was carried out over
the Thurber Gold trend with a line spacing of 100m around known occurrences (200m between L3500N and
L4100N) using a 50m dipole spacing and n=1-8. The depth of investigation is estimated to be approximately
200m.
The IP survey defined a trend of moderate chargeability coincident with high resistivity that links the
significant gold occurrences (Figure 2). A second shorter trend with moderate chargeability and high
resistivity occurs in the southern portion of the grid, between L1900N and L2400N. A high chargeability/low
resistivity anomaly occurs on the eastern side of the grid and runs most of the length of the grid except over
a resistivity high between lines L3300N and L3700N (Figure 2). This high chargeability anomaly is believed to
be formational and related to disseminated pyrite in metasedimentary rocks. The high chargeability of this
unit may be masking the chargeability of the gold mineralized trends to some extent.
Mapping and sampling: Detailed mapping was carried out over the IP grid with the goal of refining contact
relationships between the various lithological units and their relationship to gold mineralization. Elsewhere
on the project, prospecting and mapping was carried out in the vicinity of known occurrences with the aim
of extending known mineralization. Highlights from the prospecting included 2.2g/t Au in a grab sample at
the Fire Ant occurrence near Rusty Ridge and nickel values of 0.25%, 0.23%, 0.22%, 0.21% and 0.15% at Last
Resort in the south of the property (Figure 3).
The results of the 2025 exploration program will be integrated with previous work over the course of the
winter to determine follow up work for the 2026 season.

at Hopedale Project, Labrador.
March 13, 2019: Labrador gold announces gold in rock samples from its Hopeda le Project includes up to
11.4g/t Au in selected grab sample.
Borden Lake Extension (BLE)
In early October the company contracted Fladgate Exploration Consulting Corp. to complete a drone
magnetic and LiDAR survey over the northern claims of the BLE property. The aim of the survey was to
better define the contact between felsic gneisses to the south, and mafic gneiss and amphibolite units to
the north which are interpreted to be part of the Borden Mine sequence stratigraphy. The survey was
flown on 25 metre spaced lines at an elevation of 50 meters, providing superior resolution of magnetic and
topographic features.
Field crews were deployed to the property in mid-October, and using the LiDAR data, were able to quickly
locate 43 outcrops and collect 30 bedrock samples in an area largely covered by glacial till. No obvious
mineralization was encountered. Samples have been submitted to Agat Labs in Thunder Bay and results are
pending.
The magnetic survey identified a major east-northeast trending lineament in the central part of the survey
area which is underlain by quartz-biotite gneiss in two locations (Figure 4). An increase in the magnetic
intensity approximately 500m north of this lineament corresponds with outcrops of mafic gneiss and
amphibolite which correlates well with an Ontario Geological Survey interpreted north-dipping thrust fault
in the area (OGS map P.3821).
The company will await assay results before deciding on next steps for the project.

Project Acquisition Update
As part of its growth strategy, Labrador Gold continues to actively evaluate opportunities within the resource
space with a particular focus on Canad a. Since launching this initiative, the LabGold team has reviewed 29
resource projects and another 22 pre -resource projects have been assessed for their potential to host a
significant resource. The Company identified several projects for extensive due diligence.
QA/QC
Rock samples comprise grab samples, which are selective samples and not necessarily representative of
mineralization found on the property. Samples were securely stored prior to shipping to analytical labs
for assay. Rock samples were assayed at Eastern Analytical Laboratory in Springdale, an ISO/IEC17025
accredited laboratory for gold by standard 30g fire assay with atomic absorption finish as well as by ICP-
OES for an additional 34 elements. The company submits blanks and certified reference standards
amounting to approximately 5% of each sample batch.

About Labrador Gold
Labrador Gold is a Canadian based mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition and exploration
of prospective gold projects in Eastern Canada.
The Hopedale property covers much of the Archean-age Florence Lake greenstone belt that stretches over
60 km. The belt is typical of greenstone belts around the world but has been underexplored by comparison.
Work to date by Labrador Gold show gold anomalies in rocks, soils and lake sediments over a 3 kilometre
section of the northern portion of the Florence Lake greenstone belt. F ive gold occurrences lie along this
trend, four of which Thurber Boundary, Thurber North, TD500 and Thurber South were discovered by
LabGold. Anomalous gold in soil and lake sediment samples also occur over approximately 40 km along the
southern section of the greenstone belt. LabGold’s recent exploration has also demonstrated the potential
for the critical metals copper, nickel and cobalt in the belt.
The Borden Lake project near Chapleau, Ontario lies immediately southeast of Newmont Corporation’s
Borden gold mine currently being acquired by Discovery Silver Corp. LabGold’s past exploration on the
property identified two anomalous zones based on geoche mistry, including up to 48 gold grains in till
samples, and geophysics, one in the north extending over 1.3km northwest -southeast and another in the
south extending over 1km north-south.
The Company has 170,009,979 common shares issued and outstanding and trades on the TSX Venture
Exchange under the symbol LAB.
