Exploration Strategy
Survey Results Expected to Drive Refinement of High-Priority Drill Targets Ahead of Maiden Drill
Campaign at Vumba
Joe Van Wyk Appointed Vice President, Exploration, to Lead the Company's Expanding Exploration
Programs in Botswana
Toronto, Ontario – July 2, 2026 – One Bullion Ltd. (“One Bullion” or the “Company”) (TSXV: OBUL),
a gold exploration company holding complete ownership of three highly prospective mining areas in
Botswana, today announced that it has commenced a high -resolution airborne geophysical survey across
its Vumba Project in Botswana.
The survey is being conducted by Xcalibur Smart Mapping, which began on July 2, 2026 and is expected
to take approximately 10 days to complete . The program will cover the Vumba License area and will be
followed by a subsequent survey over the Company’s Maitengwe project to the north. The program marks
a pivotal step in advancing One Bullion’s exploration strategy toward the definition and prioritization of
drill targets.
“This is a significant step forward for One Bullion as we continue to systematically advance Vumba toward
drilling and reflects the disciplined, data -driven approach that underpins everything we do,” said Adam
Berk, Chief Executive Officer of One Bullion. “This survey moves us decisively into the next phase of our
exploration program. Integrating the geophysical data with our recent high-grade artisanal workings results
will allow us to refine our drill targets with confidence as we advance toward a maiden drill campaign at
Vumba. With strong momentum across the project, we look forward to providing further updates as results
become available.”
Highlights
• High-resolution airborne geophysical survey commenced over the Vumba License, conducted by
Xcalibur Smart Mapping, beginning July 2, 2026
• Survey expected to take approximately 10 days to fly the Vumba License, followed by a survey of
the Maitengwe project to the north
• Initial survey results and interpretation anticipated by late July 2026
• Geophysical data to be integrated with the Company’s geology, drill database, sampling, and recent
high-grade assay results to refine and prioritize drill targets
• Appointed Joe Van Wyk as Vice President, Exploration , a geologist with more than 20 years of
international mining experience , to provide on -the-ground oversight of the Company’s field
operations in Botswana
• Maiden drill campaign at Vumba is fully funded and planned to follow the survey, targeting ~3,000
meters expected to commence August 2026
Geophysical Survey at Vumba
As previously announced, One Bullion engaged Xcalibur Smart Mapping to conduct a high -resolution
airborne, horizontal-gradient magnetic survey across the Vumba License area, to be followed by the same
survey configuration of the Maitengwe project. The survey is expected to deliver detailed structural and
lithological insights that will significantly enhance target definition at depth and along strike within the
broader greenstone belt. The integration of geophysical data with the Company’s drill database, geological
mapping, sampling, and assay results, including the recently reported high-grade gold results at Vumba, is
expected to accelerate the refinement and prioritization of high-confidence drill targets across the emerging
Vumba mineralized corridor.
Strengthening the In-Country Exploration Team
To support its expanding exploration program initiatives in Botswana, One Bullion has appointed Joe Van
Wyk as Vice President, Exploration. Mr. Van Wyk is a geologist with more than 20 years of international
experience spanning exploration, feasibility, and project development. He began his career as an
exploration and res ource geologist with AngloGold Ashanti and Gold Fields, leading regional target
generation and quality-assurance/quality-control programs across Africa, the Americas, and Australia. He
subsequently led feasibility and resource modelling as a Senior Resource Geologist with TWP Projects /
WorleyParsons. More recently, he has held senior executive and advisory roles across the African mining
sector, including as Founder and Chief Executive Officer of KiBOKO Consulting. Mr. Van Wyk holds a
BSc and a BSc (Honours) in Geology from the University of Pretoria, South Africa. Based in Botswana,
Mr. Van Wyk will lead overseeing the on-site exploration activities, the field camp, and the Company’s
geological team, providing full operational oversight as drilling preparations advance. His appointment
strengthens the Company's technical leadership as it advances Vumba toward its maiden drill program and
continues to unlock the broader potential of its Botswana assets.
Next Steps
Upon completion of the Vumba survey, the Company expects to receive and interpret the geophysical data
over an approximately 10-day period, with the goal of integrating these results into refined drill targeting.
One Bullion is concurrently advancing toward its maiden drill campaign at Vumba, and is currently
negotiating a drilling contract and finalizing contract terms. Subject to survey results and contract
execution, the Company is targeting a drill program of approximately 3,000 met ers across approximately
15 holes (each ranging from surface to approximately 200 meters depth), expected to commence in August
2026. The Company will provide further updates as the survey progresses and as drilling plans are
confirmed.
