Gold79 Expands Land Position, Conducts Geological Mapping and Rock-Soil Geochemical Surveys at the Tip Top Gold Project, Nevada

Gold79 Mines Ltd. (TSXV: AUU) ("Gold79" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has significantly increased the size of the Tip Top Gold Project, Nevada with the staking of 121 new claims. This new staking has expanded the land position at Tip Top from 22 claims (173 hectares) to a total of 143 claims covering approximately 1,062 hectares (Figure 1).

Geological mapping

Geological mapping of the Tip Top mine area has identified a broad zone, up to 80 metres wide, of northeast-trending quartz-chalcedony veining hosted by silicified volcanic rocks (Figure 2). The broad zone of veining can be traced for about 500 metres northeast from the mine where it appears to pass below a diffuse zone of quartz veinlets hosted by clay-altered (quartz-illite) volcanic rocks and local silicification. This mineralized zone has been historically drill tested (including 26.9 g/t Au over 1.6m and 19.8 g/t Au over 2.4m, Hecla Mining, 2001) in close proximity to the Tip Top mine. Recent mapping has also identified additional zones of strong quartz veining and hydrothermal breccias in the footwall of the Tip Top mine which have not been drill tested and a broader zone of gold mineralization is suspected. The combination of 'high-level' vein textures, alteration products and shallow gold intercepts in the historical drilling suggest that this epithermal gold system has suffered minimal erosion. This is also supported by the widespread presence of mercury workings throughout the district.

Mapping has also revealed likely extensions of the epithermal system both to the northeast and southwest although they are widely concealed by talus (overburden) or high-level alteration (clay and opalite). The scale of the system extends well beyond the original 22 claims which prompted the recently completed claim staking (Figure 1) which now envelops the broad (1km), northeast-trending corridor of hydrothermal alteration and quartz veining.

Mr. Robert Johansing, VP Exploration, stated, "Following several days of mapping at Tip Top, I believe the expanded land position sufficiently improves Gold79's gold target opportunity within this structural and hydrothermal corridor. The ongoing soil geochemical survey and planned rock sampling scheduled for early October should allow us to clearly define drill targets as we advance the permitting process."

Soil geochemical survey

To better define the emerging gold system at Tip Top, Gold79 has commenced a soil geochemical survey being conducted by Ethos Geological over the altered volcanic rocks and widespread quartz veining. This survey comprises approximately 2,350 soil samples on 100 metre spaced lines with 50 metre spaced samples. Within the central target area of the survey 25 metre spaced samples are being taken. The survey is now about 90% complete and should be fully completed by early October with analytical results expected to be available in November.

Permitting

Prior to drilling, Gold79 will comply with the U.S. Forest Service's guidelines for permitting a drilling program. A Nevada based firm has been contracted and the components of this application process are being assembled.

Robert Johansing, M.Sc. Econ. Geol., P. Geo., the Company's Vice President, Exploration is a qualified person ("QP") as defined by NI 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the technical content of this press release. The QP has not verified the historical analytical data or the quality control or quality assurance procedures of previous operators related to drill hole intercepts from the Tip Top Gold project. The mineralized intervals reported are drilled intercepts and true widths can not be determined at this time.

Top 5 Australian Mining Stocks This Week: Yandal Shares Double on Arrakis Drilling Results

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly round-up of Australia’s top-performing mining stocks on the ASX, starting with news in Australia's resource sector.

This week's top-performing stocks list is dominated by oil and gas companies, alongside gold and lithium companies.

In Australian mining news, the Fair Work Commission ruled that BHP (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BHP) must raise the wages of 2,200 workers at three coal mines in Queensland. The workers in question were employed indirectly through a hiring firm and were being paid significantly less than their peers working directly under BHP.

The case was brought by two worker's unions and based on the Same Job, Same Pay reforms made by the government last year. To align wages, the FWC ruled BHP must raise the labour hire employees' wages by AU$30,000 each.

Pilbara 2.0: Inside Australia’s Newest Gold Frontier

The Central Pilbara region of Western Australia is undergoing a quiet revolution that is rapidly reshaping the global gold exploration landscape.

Once dismissed as a technically challenging and geologically inconsistent terrain, Pilbara is now emerging as one of the world’s most exciting new gold frontiers and drawing serious attention from institutional investors, driven by transformative discoveries, a maturing geological model and a wave of junior explorers tapping into underexplored intrusive-hosted systems.

Anchored by the multimillion-ounce Hemi discovery — one of the most significant gold finds in Australia in over a decade — this region is not just proving its geological potential, but also demonstrating the kind of scale, consistency and margin profile that modern gold investors seek. As the discovery window remains wide open and valuations are still accessible, the Central Pilbara presents a rare opportunity for early exposure to what may become one of Australia’s next tier-one gold districts.
