TSXV: LOT OTCPK: TOGOF PRESS RELEASE

TomaGold Continues to Expand Berrigan Mine at Depth with a New Major

204.25 m Intersection in the Berrigan Deep Zone

Highlights

• Major intersection of 204.25 m grading 2.05% ZnEq (0.48 g/t AuEq) (from 553.90 m to 758.15 m) in

extension hole TOM-25-011EXT, underscoring the scale of the mineralized system within the Berrigan

Deep Zone, including:

o 31.31% ZnEq (7.38 g/t AuEq) over 2.40 m (from 554.40 m to 556.80 m)

o 5.93% ZnEq (1.38 g/t AuEq) over 4.60 m (from 681.55 m to 686.15 m)

o 5.90% ZnEq (1.38 g/t AuEq) over 7.45 m (from 697.05 m to 704.50 m)

o 4.62% ZnEq (1.08 g/t AuEq) over 14.40 m (from 591.00 m to 605.40 m)

• Additional high-grade intersections: Prior to reaching the Berrigan Deep Zone, the hole extension

also intersected a zone grading 3.02% ZnEq over 12.45 m (from 498.30 m to 510.75 m), including

16.23% ZnEq over 1.40 m. In addition, the original hole TOM-25-011 had previously identified several

higher-level zones of interest, including 14.14% ZnEq over 2.00 m (from 307.50 m to 309.50 m).

• Results pending for holes TOM-25-009EXT, TOM-25-010EXT, TOM-25-012EXT and TOM-25-013EXT:

Mineralization was consistently observed in drill core recovered from the four other extension holes,

for which assay results are pending.

• Geological model validation: These results confirm the vertical continuity of the Berrigan Mine

Project's polymetallic hydrothermal system and validate the modeled extensions at depth. Preliminary

Montréal, Québec, June 30, 2026 ‒ TOMAGOLD CORPORATION (TSXV: LOT; OTCPK: TOGOF)

(“TomaGold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce assay results from the first of five extension holes,

TOM-25-011EXT, completed as part of Phase 2 of its drilling program at the Berrigan Mine Project, located

in the Chibougamau Mining Camp of Québec. The extension of hole TOM-25-011 was designed to test

modeled conductive plates at depth within the Berrigan Deep Zone. The hole, which reached a final depth

of 834.70 m, intersected a 204.25 m mineralized envelope (see Figures 1 and 2), as well as several gold-

and zinc-rich lenses within the broader mineralized structure.

David Grondin, President and CEO of TomaGold, said: “The extension of hole TOM-25-011EXT, which

intersected 2.05% ZnEq (0.48 g/t AuEq) over 204.25 m (including 31.31% ZnEq over 2.40 m), has

confirmed the continuity and extent of the Berrigan Deep mineralized system following its discovery by hole

TOM-25-015 in December last year, which returned 5.08% ZnEq (1.19 g/t AuEq) over 98.50 m (including

23.20% ZnEq over 4.90 m). The interception of a mineralized envelope spanning more than 224 metres

underscores the scale of this hydrothermal system. Beyond the high-grade zones already delineated in its

upper portion, this broad mineralized interval at depth demonstrates the persistence of mineralization and

increases our confidence in the system’s potential for further expansion. These results support the

continuation of exploration, drilling and geological modelling activities across the project.”

The Company is also encouraged by the consistent mineralization observed in drill core recovered from the

four remaining extension holes, TOM-25-009EXT, TOM-25-010EXT, TOM-25-012EXT and TOM-25-013EXT.

Samples have been prepared and submitted for laboratory analysis, with complete assay results expected

over the coming weeks.

Geological Context and District-Scale Potential

The results from hole TOM-25-011EXT further validate the Company's geological interpretation of the

Berrigan Deep Zone, confirming a deeply rooted polymetallic hydrothermal system (zinc, gold, silver and

copper) beneath the historic Berrigan Mine.

Lithological and structural controls: The 204.25-metre mineralized envelope intersects a sequence of

ultramafic to mafic rocks composed primarily of alternating serpentinitized peridotites, komatiites,

pyroxenites and gabbros. Technical data indicate that the mineralization is strongly controlled by regional

structures. It is concentrated along shear zones and is localized within contact breccias between diferent

lithological units, which act as physical barriers favouring the accumulation of mineralizing fluids.

Mineralization styles and geochemical signature: Mineralization at Berrigan Deep is characterized by

host-rock replacement and occurs as stockwork vein and veinlet networks, sheared undulating veins, and

coarse semi-massive to massive sulphide masses. The sulphide assemblage is dominated by abundant

sphalerite (zinc) and pyrrhotite.

Detailed analysis of the drilling data reveals a distinctive metallogenic signature. Although copper (in the

form of chalcopyrite) represents a relatively minor component of the overall mineralized envelope, it

exhibits a spatial correlation with higher gold grades. For example, the interval that returned 5.89 g/t Au

(31.31% ZnEq) is directly associated with a copper peak of 1.28% Cu. This geochemical correlation

suggests the presence of specific hydrothermal conduits or a distinct, higher-temperature mineralizing

event, opening new exploration opportunities within the system itself.

Alteration and next geophysical steps: The system reflects prolonged and recurrent hydrothermal fluid

circulation, marked by pervasive alteration of the host rock that has transformed the original pyroxenites

and peridotites into massive assemblages of chlorite, talc and carbonates (dolomite/calcite).

This sulphide geometry and pervasive alteration produce a distinct electrical signature. Downhole (BHEM)

and surface (UTEM) geophysical surveys currently underway will enable more precise mapping of these

structural conductors. These 3D vector datasets will be critical in guiding future drilling toward the core of

the Berrigan Deep Zone and potentially toward additional zones of gold and copper enrichment.

Notes:

• The reported widths represent core lengths. True width is estimated to be approximately 80-85% of the core

length, depending on the deviation angles.

• ZnEq and AuEq are calculated using the Company’s standard parameters.

• AuEq calculation was based on US$4,150/oz Au, $51.34/oz Ag, US$5.023/lb Cu and $1.392/lb Zn. AuEq = Au g/t

+ (Ag g/t × 0.01237) + (Cu ppm × 0.000083) + (Zn ppm × 0.000023), applying metallurgical recovery factors of 95%

for zinc, 85% for gold and silver, and 90% for copper, based on a metallurgical report on Berrigan Mine zinc

material prepared by Process Research Associates Ltd. in February 2002 and on recoveries from nearby deposits

for gold, silver and copper.

• ZnEq calculation was based on US$4,047/oz Au, $50.22/oz Ag, US$4.796/lb Cu and $1.390/lb Zn. ZnEq =

Zn ppm + (Ag g/t × 527) + (Au g/t x 42466) + (Cu ppm × 3.45) / 10,000, applying metallurgical recovery factors of

95% for zinc, 85% for gold and silver, and 90% for copper, based on a metallurgical report on Berrigan Mine zinc

material prepared by Process Research Associates Ltd. in February 2002 and on recoveries from nearby deposits

for gold, silver and copper.

About the Berrigan Mine Project

The Berrigan Mine property consists of 16 claims totalling 483 hectares located 4 km north-northwest of

the town of Chibougamau. TomaGold has an option to acquire 100% of the property from Chibougamau

Independent Mines Inc.

The property has been the subject of more than one historical estimate. Met-Chem Canada Inc. prepared

the most recent of these in April 2001 in a report titled: “Pre-feasibility study: Etude Conceptuelle, Projects

Berrigan and Tortigny” by Chuinard et al. In the report, a resource estimate completed using polygonal

estimation techniques stated 1.39 Mt grading 3.17% Zn and 1.77 g/t Au on the main Berrigan Mine zone.

No resource classifications were given for the resource (GM61359).

The mineral resource estimate presented above is historical in nature and was not prepared in accordance

with National Instrument 43-101 standards. Accordingly, the reader is cautioned not to rely on this

estimate, as the Company is not treating the estimate as a current mineral resource. The qualified person

has not done suficient work to make the resource current. Substantial data compilation, verification, and,

potentially, additional drilling and resampling would be required by a qualified person before the historical

estimate could be classified as a current mineral resource. There can be no assurance that any portion of

the historical mineral resource will ultimately be confirmed or demonstrated to be economically viable.

For further information regarding the Berrigan Mine Project, please consult the press release dated

September 13, 2023.
