Arya Resources Reports Iron Formation Intersections at Wedge Lake – Drilling Extends Twin Zone Vertically and Laterally
ARYA RESOURCES REPORTS IRON FORMATION INTERSECTIONS AT
WEDGE LAKE – DRILLING EXTENDS TWIN ZONE
VERTICALLY AND LATERALLY
Vancouver, Bri Ɵsh Columbia – March 17, 2026 – Arya Resources Ltd. (TSXV: RBZ) (“Arya” or the
“Company”) reports comple Ɵon of its winter drilling program at the Wedge Lake Gold Project in
Saskatchewan’s La Ronge Gold Belt. The 2026 winter program consisted of six holes encompassing 1,041m
of drilling at the Twin and T-6 Zones and follows up on the Company’s successful 2025 drilling campaign.
The Company previously reported ( March 2, 2026 ) sulphide-bearing iron forma Ɵon at the T-6 Zone,
located approximately 1,000 metres west of the Twin Zone, where the Company completed 236m of
drilling in one step-out drill hole.
Core from the current drilling program is being logged and cut, and samples are being shipped to the
laboratory for analysis. All assay results are pending. See the table and drilling plan map for addi Ɵonal
detail. Descrip Ɵons of lithology and sulphide content provided below are based on preliminary visual
logging of the core and do not represent assay results.
Program Summary – Twin Zone
The 2026 winter drilling at the Twin Zone consisted of 805m in five drill holes (two holes drilled from the
same setup) which covered approximately 381m of strike length across the zone. Iron forma Ɵon
intersected for 138 ver Ɵcal meters in 2025/26 drilling. Recent drilling intersected mul Ɵple intervals of
sulphide-bearing iron formaƟon in step-out holes, in the area of previously released AR 25-09, designed
to conƟnue to evaluate the extent of the iron forma Ɵon straƟgraphy, along with the twinning of several
historic drill holes to confirm the results from previous drilling.
Key observaƟons from the winter drilling program include:
Sulphide-bearing iron formaƟon intersected in a AR26-11 approximately 25 metres down dip of
the intersecƟon in AR25-09
Iron formaƟon intersected approximately 50 metres and 100 metres east of AR25-09 in drill holes
AR26-14 and AR26-12 respecƟvely
Iron formaƟon intersected in AR26-15 approximately 125 metres west of AR25-09
MulƟple stacked intervals of iron formaƟon observed in hole AR26-13 up-dip of hole AR26-14
Sulphide-bearing iron formaƟon intersected at the T-6 Zone, approximately 1,000 metres west of
the Twin Zone
Assay results from the winter drilling program are pending.
Down dip Expansion – AR26-11
Hole AR26-11 was drilled approximately 25 metres behind and parallel to AR25-09, intersecƟng the
straƟgraphy approximately 25 metres down dip, suggesƟng the conƟnuaƟon of sulphide-bearing iron
formaƟon below drill hole AR25-09 to test the verƟcal conƟnuity of the iron formaƟon.
AR26-11 intersected several intervals of sulphide-bearing iron formaƟon (“SIF”), including:
• 68.05 m – 77.25 m: 9.20 m SIF
• 77.25 m – 84.90 m: 7.65 m Massive to Semi-Massive Sulphide (MSS)
• 84.90 m – 115.05 m: 30.15 m SIF
• 140.20 m – 171.85 m: 31.65 m SIF Breccia
These intervals suggest the conƟnuaƟon of sulphide-bearing iron formaƟon at depth below AR25-09.
Eastern Step-Out – AR26-14
Hole AR26-14, drilled approximately 50 metres east of AR25-09, intersected:
• 64.05 m – 66.99 m: 2.94 m MSS
• 66.99 m – 69.10 m: 2.11 m Quartz Breccia
• 69.10 m – 133.40 m: 64.30 m SIF
These intersecƟons indicate the conƟnued presence of iron formaƟon east of AR25-09.
Eastern Step-Out – AR26-12 (Twin of 82-09)
Hole AR26-12, drilled approximately 100 metres east of AR25-09, intersected:
• 27.80 m – 49.65 m: 21.85 m SIF
• 80.00 m – 91.90 m: 11.90 m Iron FormaƟon Breccia
These intersecƟons extend the iron formaƟon east of AR25-09 and confirm the rock units drilled in hole
82-09.
Up-Dip Hole – AR26-13 (Twin of 84-08)
Hole AR26-13, drilled approximately 25 metres above AR26-14, intersected:
• 52.40 m – 56.00 m: 3.60 m SIF
• 56.00 m – 120.00 m: 64.00 m Mixed SIF and Dacite
• 120.00 m – 130.00 m: 10.00 m Andesite Tuff
• 130.00 m – 140.00 m: 10.00 m Mixed SIF and Dacite
• 149.00 m – 168.00 m: 19.00 m Mixed SIF and Dacite
These intersecƟons indicate mulƟple iron-formaƟon intervals, confirming the rock units drilled in hole
84-08.

Western Step-Out – AR26-15 (Twin of 83-10)
Hole AR26-15, drilled approximately 125 metres west of AR25-09
Observed intervals include:
• 9.30 m – 14.70 m: 5.40 m Quartz Vein
• 14.70 m – 26.00 m: 11.30 m Mixed SIF and Dacite
• 26.00 m – 30.50 m: 4.50 m Quartz Breccia
Management Commentary
“These drill holes indicate that iron formaƟon intersected at the Twin Zone occurs both above and below
earlier drilling and extends laterally to the east and west,” stated Rasool Mohammad, CEO of Arya
Resources.
