Toogood Gold Signs Definitive Agreement for Option to Earn 100% Interest in the Table Mountain Project, Nevada

Toogood Gold Corp. (TSXV: TGC) (OTCQB: TGGCF) (FSE: D3P) ("Toogood" or the "Company") today announced that it has entered into a definitive option agreement (the "Definitive Agreement") dated May 26, 2026 with Orogen Royalties Inc. and its subsidiary GenEx Exploration Inc. (collectively "Orogen"), and Altius Resources Inc. ("Altius"), and together with Orogen, the ("Vendors"), pursuant to which the Company has the exclusive right to earn a 100% interest in the Table Mountain Project (the "Project" or "Table Mountain"), located in Lincoln County, Nevada.

Key Points Summary

• Definitive Agreement executed: Toogood has secured an exclusive option to earn a 100% interest in the Table Mountain Project in Nevada;
• Undrilled, district-scale low-sulphidation epithermal system: 4 x 2 km alteration footprint with multiple outcropping Au-Ag-bearing epithermal veins;
• Compelling first-pass geochemistry: Rock assays up to 2.6 g/t Au and >50 g/t Ag with strong Sb-As-Hg pathfinder anomalism, further supporting low-sulphidation epithermal affinity;
• No historical drilling: Large, well-preserved system remains effectively untested by modern exploration;
• Strategic location: 2-hour drive from Las Vegas and 10 km south of the Atlanta Gold Mine within the Indian Peak Caldera Complex;
• Aligned vendor structure: Equity-based earn-in with a 3.0% net smelter return ("NSR") royalty and staged buydown rights to 2.0%;
• Phase 1 exploration: Systematic property-wide campaign has commenced, including soil geochemistry (>6,150 samples), 1:5,000-scale structural and geological mapping, ground gravity, drone magnetics, prospecting, rock sampling and hand-held spectral analyses;
• Phase 2 exploration: Planned following Phase 1 and expected to include controlled-source audio-frequency magnetotellurics ("CSAMT") to map deeper resistive features, together with drill-target-focused mapping, prospecting and rock sampling; and
• Maiden drill program: Phase 1 exploration designed to deliver ranked drill targets and a permit-ready drill plan in Q3 2026.

Management Commentary

"The Definitive Agreement marks an important milestone for Toogood, securing our exclusive option on Table Mountain as we advance the project through its first-ever systematic, property-wide exploration program," stated Colin Smith, CEO of Toogood Gold Corp. "Table Mountain represents a rare opportunity to evaluate an undrilled, district-scale low-sulphidation epithermal system in Nevada, with a large alteration footprint, multiple outcropping Au-Ag-bearing veins, strong pathfinder geochemistry and clear structural vectors. With agreements now in place and Phase 1 exploration underway, our focus is on rapid, disciplined execution to generate and refine high-confidence drill targets ahead of a targeted maiden drill campaign later this year."

Table Mountain Project Overview

Table Mountain is a large, well-preserved low-sulphidation epithermal gold-silver system located within the Indian Peak Caldera Complex in southeastern Nevada (Figure 1). The Project comprises 184 unpatented lode mining claims administered by the Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") totaling 1,538 hectares.

Work completed in 2025 defined a coherent hydrothermal alteration cell of distinct low-sulphidation epithermal affinity, measuring approximately 4 km by 2 km, characterized by kaolinite-dominant alteration with local illite and alunite assemblages (Figure 2). Multiple outcropping quartz-chalcedony veins display classic epithermal textures, including crustiform-colloform banding and silicified platy calcite, consistent with an upper-level epithermal system (Figure 3).

Reconnaissance rock sampling returned gold values up to approximately 2.6 g/t Au and silver values exceeding 50 g/t Ag, supported by strong epithermal pathfinder geochemistry (Sb-As-Hg).

The system is interpreted to be exposed at a high structural level, with potential for preserved boiling horizons at depth. For additional information, please refer to Toogood Gold Corp.'s news release dated March 2, 2026.

QA/QC and Analytical Methods

The Table Mountain assay results reported herein are derived from first-pass reconnaissance rock samples that were selective or grab in nature and are not necessarily representative of overall grade or true width. Samples were analyzed by ALS Geochemistry using Au-ICP21 (30-gram fire assay with ICP-AES finish) and multi-element methods Hg-MS42 and ME-MS61, with sample preparation completed at ALS Reno and analyses completed at ALS Vancouver.

The Company has not independently verified the 2025 reconnaissance results reported herein and such results should be considered preliminary; however, the Company considers the data relevant for the purposes of guiding exploration and disclosure. Orogen's initial reconnaissance program did not include the insertion of certified reference materials, blanks, or field duplicates, and accordingly, the results should be considered preliminary in nature. The Company intends to implement industry-standard QA/QC protocols, including the systematic insertion of CRMs, blanks, and field duplicates, in all future sampling programs.
