Multi-Disciplinary Field Programs Designed to Test Yukon Project Portfolio
T2 Metals Corp. (TSXV: TWO,OTC:TWOSF) (OTCQB: TWOSF) (FSE: WJ6) ("T2 Metals" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the commencement of a Q3Q4 2026 field program across its Shanghai and Aurora gold-silver projects in the Yukon's Tombstone Gold Belt (see Figure 1). Field crews have been mobilized to carry out a substantial multi-disciplinary exploration program designed to expand and refine known prospect areas, generate new drill-ready targets and advance both projects toward drilling in the second half of the field season.
2026 Program Highlights
Airborne LiDAR, aeromagnetic and radiometric surveys to refine structural and intrusion-related targets to focus ground programs
Soil (auger) sampling to extend and infill known gold and silver in soil and rock chip anomalies
Prospecting, geological mapping and rock sampling to identify source of mineralization
Ground VLF-EM (very low frequency electromagnetic) surveying to map conductive structures associated with gold mineralization, complementing aeromagnetic and LiDAR coverage
RAB (rotary air blast) drilling to provide low-cost, near-surface coverage of priority target areas and guide diamond drill planning
Diamond drilling to test priority targets at depth
Together, the Shanghai and Aurora projects cover over 100 sq km in the Yukon's prolific Tombstone Gold Belt. Shanghai sits within the Mayo Mining District, a historic and active mining region known for large-scale gold-silver systems including the Keno Hill Mine, North America's highest-grade silver mine (Hecla Mining) and the AurMac Gold Project, one of Canada's largest unmined gold deposits (Banyan Gold). Aurora is located in the Dawson Mining District, known for significant recent gold discoveries and ongoing exploration success including the ML Project (Prospector Metals) (see Figure 2).
Shanghai and Aurora demonstrate potential for intrusion-related gold systems with high-grade gold and silver in historical and Company sampling (see news releases dated February 26, 2026; January 20, 2026; September 10, 2025). Both projects were optioned by T2 Metals from renowned Yukon prospector Shawn Ryan and Wildwood Exploration Inc. Ryan is credited with multiple major discoveries in the Yukon including the White Gold district and the Coffee Gold deposit.
The 2026 program is designed to build directly on Shawn Ryan's methodical exploration work, including his soil geochemistry datasets, and to advance both projects toward drill-ready status this season. T2 Metals appreciates the support of Shawn Ryan as part of its Advisory Board and for his continued involvement with the Company in the pursuit of discovery.
"The Tombstone Gold Belt within the Yukon is one of the most exciting places globally to be looking for gold and silver. We are fortunate to be exploring two highly prospective and underexplored projects with excellent gold and silver discovery potential," said Mark Saxon, President & CEO of T2 Metals. "We're grateful for the strong support we've had from local communities and contractors, especially Shawn Ryan and his family, whose track record of discovery in the Yukon speaks for itself. Building on his work at Shanghai and Aurora gives our team a real head start, as we begin a highly productive season. We will share regular updates with shareholders as new information becomes available."
