Gold Port Advances Exploration Momentum with New Private Placement

Gold Port Corporation (CSE: GPO,OTC:GPOTF) (OTCQB: GPOTF) ("Gold Port" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a non-brokered private placement of up to 17,100,000 units ("Units") at a price of CAD$0.075 per Unit, for gross proceeds of up to CAD$1,282,500.

Each Unit will consist of one common share and one transferable common share purchase warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one additional common share at an exercise price of CAD$0.10, valid for five years from the date of closing. All securities issued will be subject to a statutory hold period of one year. No finder's fees will be paid in connection with this financing. The offering remains subject to regulatory approval, including that of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Proceeds from the placement will be directed toward advancing the Company's 100%-owned Groete Gold Copper Project in Guyana, South America. The Groete Project currently hosts a NI 43-101 Inferred resource of 1.57 million ounces Cu-Au equivalent and offers significant potential for expansion.

An initial drill campaign of up to 10,000 meters is planned, aimed at both upgrading the existing Inferred Resource to the Measured and Indicated categories and testing new target zones. The Company owns a Multi-Power Products Discovery I core rig, along with all necessary support supplies, and will mobilize to the site once road access is complete. To support the field program, the Company has also secured a fully modular camp system to provide improved on-site working conditions.

The Groete Gold Copper Project is strategically located with excellent accessibility via the Essequibo River system. With recent gold prices exceeding US$4,000 per ounce, and the historical resource calculated using US$1,275 per ounce gold, the project represents a strong value opportunity in the current metals market.

Gold Port remains focused on unlocking the full potential of the Groete Gold Copper Project and creating long-term value for shareholders through resource growth from responsible exploration.

About Gold Port Corporation

Gold Port Resources Corporation (GPO) is focused on the further exploration and development of the 100% owned Groete Gold Copper Project (the "Project"), located in Guyana, South America.

A cut-off grade of 0.25 gold equivalent grams per tonne, a gold price of US$1,275 per ounce and copper price of US$3.00 per pound was used in the calculation of the Inferred Mineral Resource.
