OPUS ONE GOLD CORP RESUMES DRILLING ON IT’S 100% OWNED NOYELL

GOLD PROJECT, ABITIBI, QUEBEC

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR

DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Montreal, January 21st, 2026, Opus One Gold Corp (TSX-V: OOR) (the “Company” or

“Opus One”) is pleased to announce that two drill rigs have been mobilized on its 100%

owned Noyell gold project located in the Abitibi mining district close to the mining town of

Matagami in Quebec province, Canada. A third rig could be added in February if it is

deemed necessary to complete the program. The drill program follows-up on Opus One’s

2025 very successful program on its Zone 1 gold discovery.

The diamond drilling program will consist of approximately 26 holes adding up to around

14,000m of core. Numerous d rilling targets have been identified to infill and to extend

Zone 1 in all directions (see longitudinal section and maps). Additionally, Opus Ones will

test a new area in the western portion of the property where significant gold was reported

in drill records in the 80’s and 90’s by previous operators.

This new target area is located approximately 3km to the west of Zone 1 and corresponds

to the eastern extension of significant gold mineralization being currently defined by

drilling on the neighboring property to the west (N2 Project, Formation Metals , formerly

Wallbridge). The N2 project already hosts a significant historical gold resource (Press

release, Dec. 11th, 2025) and a major drilling program is in progress.

Opus One’s interpretation indicates that the gold mineralization observed in its western

portion of the property appears to correspond to the same geological gold bearing

structure which hosts Zone 1 in the central portion of the property. A total of 5 shallow

holes will be drilled on this target. These will be the first holes performed by Opus One in

this portion of the property.

Louis Morin, Opus One CEO commented: We are very enthusiastic about our upcoming

new drill program. In 2025, Opus One completed 9,000 m of successful d rilling on its

Zone 1 discovery, carried out a bio- geochemical sampling survey around Zone 1 and a

laser induced breakdown spectrometry study on mineralized core to characterize the gold

bearing horizon and host units. Additionally, Opus One is developing new quality gold

targets on the property. The company is therefore expanding its main mineralized zone,

initiating the mineralogical characterization of its gold bearing structure and gearing up

for new discoveries along the same favorable structure and, hopefully, along parallel

ones. No doubt 2026 will be another exciting year for the company.
