Wolfden Announces Positive Final Drill Results at Rockland in Nevada
Highlights include 100.0 metres at 1.06 g/t AuEq including 40.9 metres at 1.92 g/t AuEq
Toronto, Ontario, March 9, 2026 - Wolfden Resources Corporation (WLF.V) (“Wolfden” or the “Company”) is pleased
to announce positive final drill results on its Rockland Gold Project, located in the Walker Lane Trend of Nevada, USA
(Figures 1 and 2). The program consisted of three drill holes for 1,600 total metres, designed to test below significant
historical drill results that ended in mineralization, including 146.4 metres at 1.0 g/t AuEq in hole PG32 and 85.4 metres
at 1.0 g/t AuEq in hole PG36C. Hole REP22, one of the three holes in the program that was drilled across the historical
mineralized zone intersected 100 .0 metres at 1.1 g/tAuEq including 40.9 metres of 1.92 g/t AuEq. The true thickness
of the zone is estimated to be 85% of the drilled thickness or approximately 85 metres thick. Further drilling both up
and down dip along strike is warranted to test the extent of the zone, with a focus first to follow the depth extent of the
higher grade interval that returned 3.4 metres at 11. 9 g/tAuEq to evaluate the potential for additional higher-grade
feeders to this large disseminated gold and silver system (see Figure 3 & 4).

“The program which included two opposing holes REP18 and REP22 was successful in defining the orientation of the
mineralized zone and the potential for additional higher-grade at depth that may also extend closer to surface”, stated
Ron Little, CEO for Wolfden. “ The intercept in REP22 strongly suggests that the mineralized zone dips steeply to the
east, beyond the end of hole PG32 . Given the size of the system and the grades intersected in hole REP22 ( 40.9 m
at 1.92 g/t AuEq), our focus is as much to find more of the same down dip as it is to test the potential extent and size
of the higher-grade as well (3.4 m at 11.9 g/t AuEq). As a result, drilling is expected to recommence in July to test for
the continuation of the zone down dip to the east (see Figure 3 proposed holes P1 and P2)”.
Hole REP18, intersected mineralization below and parallel to that intersected in hole PG32, but with a lower tenor than
REP22 and hole PG32. This is not un expected given the distance between holes and the apparent near-parallel
orientation of the mineralized zone relative to that of the drill hole. Visually, both holes (REP18 and 22) host the same
altered flow-banded rhyolite with similar intensities of alteration and abundances of fine-grained sulphide observed in
the historical holes (see photos of PG36C and PG32 in Figure 5). Some additional study work is underway, including
the interpretation of the hyperspectral data of the drill core in order to determine any mineral alteration assemblages
that may associated with the higher -grade portions of the gold zones that could assist in the targeting of future drill
holes and the overall understanding of the mineralized system.
The Company’s third drill hole in the program, REP25, was a 300-meter step-out hole drilled to a depth of 572 metres
beneath Target Hill (Target #4 on Figure 2). The hole is situated near the NE end of a 1.7km long structural corridor
characterized by the presence of altered rhyolite. Target Hill is a highly altered rhyolite dome from which historical drill
hole PG30 returned a 315.5 metre zone of alteration and mineralization grading 0.1 g/t AuEq (Figure 6). Hole REP25
intersected at depth a higher grade interval of 12.0 metres at 1.11 g/t AuEq in similar-looking, intensely altered flow -
banded rhyolite containing fine-grained sulphides, like those seen in REP18 and 22 . Results include an intercept of
12.0 m at 1.1 g/t AuEq which is higher grade than the historical hole PG30 and will be a useful indicator in the next drill
target long trend.
Rockland Gold System Mineralization and Alteration
The drilling to date exhibits two distinct types of alteration -style disseminated mineralization. The earliest type is
characterized by early pervasive quartz -adularia+Illite-pyrite alteration, which is locally accompanied by centimeter -
scale quartz stockworks. The quartz -adularia-dominated type hosts variably oxidized low -grade mineralization (0.1 0
to .20 g/tAu) in the upper part of hole REP22. The second type of alteration -style mineralization consists of higher
temperature, pervasive illite -pyrite+smectite, which overprints the highly brecciated early -stage quartz -adularia-
dominated alteration. The overprinting illite -pyrite mineralization significantly increases the gold grade up to 15 g/t in
hole REP22. The illite-pyrite overprint may locally be associated with millimeter-scale quartz stockwork veinlets, but the
best grades appear to be associated with intense illite -pyrite+smectite alteration in clay -rich rhyolite-clast dominated
breccias. The intensely altered high -grade mush-breccia in REP22 (3.37m at 10.87 g/t Au and 78.9 g/t Ag or 11.86
AuEq see Figure 4) was also observed in hole PG36C and is interpreted to be structural zone, which will be targeted
at depth with follow-up drilling. The current depth of drilling has yet to discover the Rockland Mine-style low-sulfidation
quartz veins in the system. The primary target is at depth for additional higher-grade rhyolite feeder zone mineralization
that is now assumed to root within the faulted basement granodiorite.
To further support the significance of these results and the tenor or the grades, in 2024, prior to exercising the option,
Wolfden collected four rock and core assay reject (non -oxidized) samples ranging in grade from 1.0 g/t Au to 10.4 g/t
Au that were subjected to a 24-hr bottle roll cyanide leach testing using Leachwell as a catalyst. The results were very
encouraging with gold recoveries ranging from 85% to 98% using conventional techniques . This provided Wolfden
some confidence in the potential economics of the gold system and additional justification in optioning the property.
Upon completion of the additional study work the Company will determine the potential budget for the additional drilling
at Rockland, which Wolfden has optioned and can earn -in up to a 75% interest as outlined in the Company’s news
release dated February 25, 2025. The Company believes it has met the minium expenditure requirement s and there
remains only a total of US$500,000 in option payments over the next two years for the Company and its optionee
partner, Evergold Corp., to earn a 100% interest in the project.
Rockland - QA/QC Comment
All historically stated drill results are based on hole lengths and were calculated from a validated drill database that
includes work from several different companies. Holes 30 to 38C were drilled in 2006 and 2007 with a complete QA/QC
program that included reverse circulation samples averaging 9 kilograms in weight that were collected over five-foot
intervals from a wet splitter. Occasional duplicate samples were taken in the same manner. Control samples, including
standard pulps and crushed marble blanks , were inserted into the sample sequence at a frequency of approximately
one in every 10 samples. The samples were prepared and fire assayed for gold and multi -element analysis by a
reputable laboratory in Sparks, Nevada. All drill core was HQ in size, photographed, logged, and measured for RQD
(Rock Quality Density) and recovery, prior to sampling . Sample intervals were typically chosen to follow actual core
block/run intervals to a maximum of five feet per sample. Control samples including standard pulps and crushed marble
blanks were inserted randomly in the sample number sequence to check and verify lab accuracy. Historical control
samples were inserted every tenth sample and more frequently in well mineralized zones. The recent drill program
inserted alternating control and blank samples every twentieth sample.
