WESDOME HIGHLIGHTS EXPLORATION POTENTIAL AHEAD OF

MID-2026 TECHNICAL REPORTS

Toronto, Ontario – March 30, 2026 – Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd. (TSX:WDO, OTCQX:WDOFF) (“ Wesdome” or

the “Company”) today hosted an exploration teach-in for its sell-side analysts in Toronto, featuring presentations

from Anthea Bath, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Jono Lawrence, Senior Vice President, Exploration

and Resources.

The event highlighted the Company’s evolving exploration strategy and growing pipeline of targets across its

portfolio, providing clearer insight into how Wesdome is methodically advancing resource growth, replacing

reserves, and making new discoveries. Bu ilding on its long -standing identity as an exploration -focused company,

Wesdome is enhancing technical discipline, increasing investment, and implementing a more structured approach

to drive greater consistency and stronger results.

Today’s presentation also offered perspective on the potential of the Company’s two land packages, emphasizing

opportunities for high -grade resource expansion (Figure 1) , bulk tonnage upside, and the discovery of new

mineralized systems beyond historically defined zones. The presentation included the results of a new airborne

magnetic survey of Kiena (Figure 2).

On the importance of the Company’s continued focus on exploration-led growth, Anthea Bath, President and Chief

Executive Officer, stated: “For much of Wesdome’s history, the focus was on annual reserve replacement. Over the

past three years, we have repositioned to prioritize long-term organic growth and the full utilization of our mills. At

the same time, we have taken a more systematic and disciplined approach to exploration, supported by increased

investment and stronger technical integration across our teams . This was a deliberate return to our roots as an

exploration-driven company, where we have consistently created the greatest value for shareholders. With a debt-

free balance sheet and strong free cash flow, we have since more than tripled our annual exploration investment

and launched a disciplined, multi -year exploration program focused on growing reserves and resources while

making new discoveries.

“In June, we plan to release the results of updated technical reports for both mines , marking a n important new

chapter for Wesdome. Th is upcoming press release will include updated reserves and resources and, for the first

time, a consolidated long-term view of both assets. The release is also expected to demonstrate extended mine life

supported by a pipeline of near-mine targets. We will also outline a strategy to improve unit costs through a value -

driven approach, focused on higher asset utilization and prioritizing low -risk, high -return tonnes near existing

infrastructure.”
