Canadian Gold Corp. Tartan South Zone Continues to Hit: 140m Vertical Expansion Intersects 9.4 gpt Gold/ 3.3m

Canadian Gold Corp. Tartan South Zone Continues to Hit: 140m Vertical Expansion Intersects 9.4 gpt Gold/ 3.3m

South Zone Now 310m (120%) Below 2017 Resource

Canadian Gold Corp. (TSXV: CGC) ("Canadian Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce ongoing drill results from its Phase 4 drill program at the 100%-owned Tartan Mine, near Flin Flon, Manitoba. Drilling has successfully expanded the South Zone by an additional 140 metres vertically in depth, for a total of 310 metres or 120% below the 2017 resource estimate since drilling began in March of this year (Fig. 1 & 2). The South Zone is a parallel complex of mineralization to the Main Zone that is believed to host the majority of the mine's resources.

On March 3, 2025, the Company released its first deep test of the South Zone, which successfully intersected 6.1 gpt gold over 6 metres, 170 metres below the 2017 resource estimate. The subsequent hole released today returned 9.4 gpt gold over 3.3 metres and was located a further 140 metres below the initial test (Fig. 1 & 2). This result significantly expands the South Zone mineralization at depth and has important implications, as it appears the South Zone could have similar depth potential to the Main Zone, which the Company has extended below the 2017 resource limit of 575 metres to 1,030 metres below surface-a 79% increase-and which remains open for expansion.

"We are very excited that the Phase 4 drill program continues to deliver strong results and validates our thesis that the South Zone could represent a heretofore underexplored source of significant mineralization. This significant expansion of the South Zone will have important implications for potential restart of the Tartan Mine, as it would increase the number of gold ounces per vertical metre, lowering the development costs on a per-ounce basis and allowing for higher production." - Michael Swistun, CFA, President & CEO

Additional drilling in this release focused on expanding the mineralization above the initial deeper hole TLSZ25-32 by wedging above 16 metres, and to the east and below by 18 metres (Fig. 1). The hole drilled above the initial result returned 7.6 gpt gold over 4.0 metres. The first test to the east and below also successfully intersected the zone, but at a lower grade of 3.3 gpt gold over 3.0 metres.

Editor's Picks: Gold Price Breaks US$3,400, Silver Added to Draft US Critical Minerals List

The gold price was on the rise this week, breaking through US$3,400 per ounce once again.

It's been pushed higher by US dollar weakness, as well as Federal Reserve turmoil.

President Donald Trump has been pressuring Fed Chair Jerome Powell to cut interest rates for months, and on Monday (August 25) the situation developed further when Trump posted a letter on his social media platform Truth Social. In it, he said he was removing Lisa Cook from her position on the central bank's board of governors due to allegations of mortgage fraud.

Top 5 Canadian Mining Stocks This Week: Trifecta Shines with 117 Percent Gain

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly look at the best-performing Canadian mining stocks on the TSX, TSXV and CSE, starting with a round-up of Canadian and US news impacting the resource sector.

Statistics Canada released its second-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) figures on Friday (August 29). The data showed that the Canadian economy shrank 0.4 percent in the second quarter and declined 1.6 percent on an annualized basis. The decrease comes following first-quarter gains of 0.5 percent and a 2 percent annualized increase.

Much of the decrease was attributed to a 7.5 percent drop in exports compared to Q1. Canadian exports had risen 1.4 percent in the first three months of the year as US companies increased imports to get ahead of incoming tariffs.Excluding the lower costs at the pumps, CPI remained steady at 2.5 percent, the same increase as May and June.

Navigating Uncertainty: How Trump's Tariffs Are Affecting the Gold Market

The gold price has been on the rise in 2025 as a slew of factors work in its favor.

Central bank buying has long been a key point of support, as has escalating conflict in the Middle East and elsewhere. A newer addition is tariff tensions as the Trump administration fleshes out trade policies.

The gold price has benefited from safe-haven demand amid the turmoil, but concerns that the yellow metal itself might face tariffs have also impacted the sector as industry insiders react to uncertainty.
