LODFF) (“Lode Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Gold Orogen and its
JV Partner has completed the drill program at one of its key assets in New Brunswick. This asset is
situated in of a district scale, 445 km² land package located in a highly prospective region for gold and
polymetallic mineral discovery, in northern New Brunswick.
Gold Orogen and its JV partner holds one of the largest under-explored claims groups in this emerging
gold camp, with two key properties; McIntyre Brook, adjacent to Puma Exploration’s Williams Brook
Project (which holds an option agreement with Kinross Gold), and Riley Brook, a significantly sized
property surrounded by claims recently acquired by Kenorland Minerals. Based on recent results,
McIntyre Brook demonstrates the hallmarks of a significant gold-copper discovery opportunity . The
highly encouraging results from a geochemistry and overburden stripping work provided an excellent to
a six (6) diamond drill hole program completed in late 2025. Assay results are pending.
Six drill holes targeting the extension of the Lynx Zone of the Williams Brook Project on the Kinross-
Puma ground.
Six diamond drill holes were completed, totaling 847.9 meters. They were designed to test for an
extension to Kinross-Puma’s Lynx Zone along a 3- km corridor of geochemical anomalies. Samples have
been submitted for assays and results are pending.

hit structure and were mineralized) and on strike. This is a brownfield project with over 43,000 metres
drilled, 23 kilometres of underground workings and 14 adits. The project has excellent infrastructure with
