Canadian Gold Corp. Tartan South Zone First Hole Intersects 6.1 gpt Gold over 6.0m Significantly Expands Zone by 170m Vertically

Canadian Gold Corp. Tartan South Zone First Hole Intersects 6.1 gpt Gold over 6.0m Significantly Expands Zone by 170m Vertically

New Potential Hanging Wall Zone Discovered with 8.4 gpt Gold over 2.0m

Canadian Gold Corp. (TSXV: CGC) ("Canadian Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the first hole designed to significantly expand the South Zone to the southeast by 170 metres vertically at the Tartan Mine near Flin Flon, Manitoba, was a success (Fig. 1 & 3). The hole intersected 6.1 gpt gold over 6.0 metres and discovered what the Company's geological team believes could be a new Hanging Wall Zone, which returned 8.4 gpt gold over 2.0 metres, further to the south. The result from the Hanging Wall Zone aligns with a hole drilled in 2022, which returned 29.1 gpt gold over 5.85 metres, making this an exciting new discovery.

"These remarkable results represent an exciting new chapter in our ongoing exploration of the orogenic gold system at the Tartan project. The South Zone is parallel to and right beside the Main Zone, which could be developed from the same underground workings at depth. Equally exciting is that higher up in hole TLSZ25-32, it appears that we have hit an additional high-grade gold parallel zone. The significant downward expansion of the South Zone gold mineralization at both a high grade and mineable width indicates what may be a significant new plunge line for the South Zone. The South Zone remains open along strike in both directions and at depth. The added prospect of a potential new Hanging Wall Zone is truly the icing on the cake for our geological team.

We are delighted to be able to focus on both the Main Zone and South Zone (as well as further drill into a potential third parallel zone discovery) drilling to have a dual approach of exploration and rapidly advance toward our goal of bringing the Tartan Mine back into production." - Michael Swistun, CFA, President & CEO

Why Is This Drill Hole Important?

  1. This is the first hole drilled in this target during the 2025 drilling campaign. It nearly doubles the vertical extent of the South Zone by 61%, from 250 to 410 metres below surface (Fig. 1 & 3). It also has the potential to be the second drill hole in a third parallel zone.

  2. Demonstrates that the South Zone has similar depth potential as the Main Zone, which extends to 1,030 metres below surface and remains open for expansion.

  3. Due to its proximity to the Main Zone and current underground infrastructure (100 metres apart) (Fig. 3), there is excellent potential to increase the total ounces per vertical metre, allowing the Company to review potential higher gold production scenarios at lower costs.

  4. New potential Hanging Wall Zone is emerging. Limited drilling in the area appears to have led to a discovery with its first intersection. In 2022, a hole returned 29.1 gpt gold over 5.85 metres, which appears to align with the intersection released today that assayed 8.4 gpt gold over 2.0 metres. The majority of previous drilling at this location was too far north to intersect this new potential Hanging Wall Zone (Fig. 3).

  5. The South Zone has seen limited drilling during the Company's exploration Phases 1-4. This result opens many new target areas and provides the Company with opportunities to further expand the resource at Tartan before updating its mineral resource estimate. This is in addition to the many high-grade opportunities that exist at the Main Zone that have been highlighted in recent news releases.
