Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 18, 2026) - Bayridge Resources Corp. (CSE: BYRG) (OTCQB: BYRRF) (FSE: O0K0) ("Bayridge" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on recent corporate activities completed in Baker Lake, Nunavut, in advance of its proposed 2026 early-stage exploration program (the "Program") at its Baker Lake Uranium Project (the "Project"), located approximately 65 kilometres southeast of the community in the Kivalliq Region.

The first major community engagement program was conducted from March 10 to March 13, 2026, by Vice President of Exploration, Mark Richardson, and Community Engagement Lead, Kasey Stone. The purpose of the visit was to engage with local stakeholders, share information regarding the proposed Program, and gather community input prior to the commencement of field activities.

"We are committed to meaningful and early engagement with the Baker Lake community as we advance the Project," said Mark Richardson, Vice President of Exploration. "The feedback we received during our recent visit was invaluable and has already informed our planning, including the decision to exclude areas identified as important to the community. We appreciate the openness of the discussions and look forward to continuing an open discussion with all key stakeholders".

Community Information Session

On the evening of March 11, 2026, the Company hosted a public information session at the Baker Lake Community Hall, which was attended by more than 100 community members.

The session provided an opportunity for community members to learn about the proposed Program, ask questions, and provide feedback. An Inuktitut interpreter was present to ensure accessibility of information. Community members were also invited to review Project maps and provide input on land use and areas of concern.

Ongoing Engagement

In addition to formal meetings, the Company engaged with community members through informal discussions during the visit to further understand local perspectives. Feedback received will be considered in the planning and execution of the proposed 2026 Program.

"It was important for us to be in the community early, before any work takes place, to listen and learn directly from local knowledge holders," said Kasey Stone, Community Engagement Lead. "The conversations we had both in formal meetings and with community members will play an important role in shaping how we move forward. We are committed to maintaining open and transparent communication throughout all stages of the Project."

Regulatory Update

The Project has now entered the screening phase with the Nunavut Impact Review Board ("NIRB"). Community engagement is a key component of the regulatory process, and the Company will continue to engage with local organizations and stakeholders as the review progresses.
