Radisson Continues to Expand Scope of High-
Grade Gold Mineralization Beneath the Former
O'Brien Gold Mine with New Drill Results
Including 68.24 g/t Gold over 6.2 Metres
Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - September 21, 2026) -
Radisson Mining Resources Inc.
(TSXV: RDS) (OTCQX: RMRDF)
("
Radisson
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to announce the results
of eight new drill holes recently completed at its 100%-owned O'Brien Gold Project ("
O'Brien
" or the
"
Project
") located in the Abitibi region of Québec. The eight holes form part of two clusters of drill holes
based on pilot holes and wedge branches that are serving to delineate an important system of high-
grade mineralization in multiple quartz-sulphide-gold veins over a now 1,000-metre vertical interval
beneath the former O'Brien Gold Mine. These results are the latest from the Company's ongoing
140,000-metre step-out drill program designed to test the full scope of gold mineralization at the Project.
All eight drill holes reported today returned significant gold mineralization. Highlights (Figure 1 and Table
1) include:
OB-26-385W5
intersected 68.24 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au") over 6.20 metres (core
lengths) including 384.01 g/t Au over 1.0 metre and including 28.68 g/t Au over 1.0 metre
(residual
intercept grade of 2.48 g/t Au)
;
OB-26-385W8
intersected 27.27 g/t Au over 3.3 metres including 72.40 g/t Au over 1.2 metres
(residual intercept grade of 1.49 g/t Au)
,
and

Matt Manson, President and CEO: "Since the beginning of our deep step-out drilling program at
O'Brien in late 2024, we have enjoyed consistent success in expanding the scope of mineralization
beyond the former mine and the historical mineral resources. Of the 128 drill holes completed
during this period,106 have returned drill intercepts with grades and thicknesses consistent with our
mineral resources. This is an impressive 83% "hit" rate (Table 2), and we report every hole
completed. We continue to see a consistent pattern of high-grade quartz-sulphide-gold veins within
broader, mineralized alteration halos. These mineralized zones form parallel vein packages within
the host Piché Group rocks, with good continuity across adjacent drill holes and over significant
distances. The two clusters of new drill results reported today are delineating the important "O'Brien
Mine East" trend at its top, immediately below the former mine workings, and extending it
downwards at up to 2 kilometres vertical depth. In our reporting of drill results, as with today's news,
we show the grade of the full interval across the mineralized zone (in core lengths at a 1 g/t Au
bottom cut-off) and the "including" interval representing the high-grade quartz-sulphide-gold vein
within the zone. The intercept's residual grade, which represents grade in the alteration halo, is
typically between 1 g/t Au and 4 g/t Au. These patterns are all demonstrated reliably in today's
results. O'Brien is clearly a large scale and increasingly predictable gold mineralizing system.
Drilling is ongoing with eight rigs active at the Project."

Gold Mineralization at O'Brien
Gold mineralizing quartz-sulphide veins at O'Brien occur within a thin band of interlayered mafic volcanic
rocks, conglomerates, and porphyritic andesitic sills of the Piché Group occurring in contact with the
east-west oriented Larder Lake-Cadillac Break ("LLCB"). Gold, along with pyrite and arsenopyrite, is
typically associated with shearing and a pervasive biotite alteration, and developed within multiple Piché
Group lithologies and, occasionally, the hanging-wall Pontiac and footwall Cadillac meta-sedimentary
rocks.
As mapped at the historic O'Brien mine, and now replicated in the modern drilling, individual veins are
generally narrow, ranging from several centimetres up to several metres in thickness and are associated
with broader, mineralized alteration envelopes. Multiple veins occur sub-parallel to each other, as well as
sub-parallel to the Piché lithologies and the LLCB. Individual veins have well-established lateral
continuity, with steeply plunging grade shoots developed over significant lengths. The historic O'Brien
mine produced over half a million ounces of gold from such veins and shoots at an average grade
exceeding 15 g/t Au and over a vertical extent of at least 1,000 metres. Modern exploration has focussed
on delineating well-developed vein mineralization below and to the east of the historic mine. Based on
the historic data available, it is clear that the former mine was "high-graded", with mining focused on a
main central stope and parallel veins identified but left undeveloped.

Notes on Calculation of Drill Intercepts:
The O'Brien Gold Project Mineral Resource Estimate effective January 31, 2026 utilizes a 2.20 g/t Au bottom cut-off, a US$2,500 gold price, a
minimum mining width of 1.2 metres, and a 60 g/t Au upper cap on individual assays. Intercepts presented in Table 1 are calculated with a 3.00 g/t
Au bottom cut-off.
Sample grades are uncapped. True widths, based on depth of intercept and drill hole inclination, are estimated to be 30-80% of
core length. Table 3 presents additional drill intercepts calculated with a 1.00 g/t Au bottom cut-off over a minimum 1.0 metre core length so as to
illustrate the frequency and continuity of mineralized intervals within which high-grade gold veins at O'Brien are developed. Lithology Codes: PON-
S3: Pontiac Sediments; V3-S, V3-N, V3-CEN: Basalt-South, North, Central; S1P, S3P: Conglomerate and Greywackes; POR-S, POR-N: Porphyry
South, North; TX: Crystal Tuff; ZFLLC: Larder Lake-Cadillac Fault Zone.
Step-Out Drilling at O'Brien
Since the end of 2024, Radisson has been pursuing a program of broad step-outs beneath the historic
O'Brien Gold mine and the existing mineral resources designed to test the extent of gold mineralization
at the Project. This drilling is accomplished with pilot holes followed by wedges and directional drilling to
maximize drill efficiency and minimize costs. In October 2025, Radisson announced the expansion of the
step-out drill program to 140,000 metres employing eight drill rigs (see
Radisson news release dated
October 16, 2025
).
The origin of the step-out drill program was the deep pilot hole OB-24-337, which was the first
exploration drill hole located below the former mine workings since mining ended in 1957. This hole
intersected 31.24 g/t Au over 8.0 metres, including 242.0 g/t Au over 1.0 m at approximately 1,500
metres vertical depth (see
Radisson news release dated December 16, 2024
). Fifteen wedge branches
were completed from OB-24-337 delineating up to eight gold-bearing veins over a 250-metre by 700-
metre area in what is referred to as "O'Brien Mine East" (see
Radisson news release dated February
12, 2026
). In March 2026, Radisson published an interim update in the Project's mineral resources,
showing meaningful growth based on the on-going drilling (see
Radisson news release dated March 2,
2026
).
The focus of the step-out drill program has been the extension of mineralization at depth, with an
exploration floor of 2 kilometres depth, and recently announced plans to extend this drilling to 2.5
kilometres depth (see
Radisson news release dated May 28, 2026
). Given the character of neighbouring
gold deposits and the wealth of mining infrastructure within or close to the O'Brien Gold Project,
Radisson believes that significant exploration potential exists to these depths, and such mineralization
might reasonably be expected to be developed. Drilling has recently confirmed the extension of the
"Trend 1" zone of mineralization to 1.9 kilometres vertical depth (see
Radisson news release dated April
30, 2026
).
In addition to the progressively deeper drilling, the 140,000-metre program includes targeting of areas
within the O'Brien geological model that have not previously been tested and offer the potential for
additional mineral resources at shallower depths. Positive drill results have recently been reported from
the "Trend 1-Trend 2 Gap" at approximately 500 and 1,000 metres vertical depth, demonstrating
continuity of mineralization across what were previously thought to be discrete mineralization trends (see
Radisson news release dated June 1, 2026
and
September 2, 2026
).
The eight new drill holes at the Project reported today continue to demonstrate the very high incidence of
intercepts with grades and thicknesses consistent with the Project's mineral resources ("hits", per Table
2). This now stands at 83% of all drill holes completed to date, an impressive result for a step-out drill
program specifically targeting non-resource areas (Figure 4). Mineralization remains open in every
direction, with clear opportunities to expand the quantity of new mineral resources, in particular by drilling
at depth.
