Rocky Shore Gold Files NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Mosquito Hill and Reid Gold Deposits

2026-05-19 16:00 ET - News Release

TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / May 19, 2026 / Rocky Shore Gold Ltd. ("Rocky Shore" or the "Company") (CSE:RSG)(OTCQB:RSGLF) is pleased to announce that it has filed the NI 43-101 Technical Report (the "Report") supporting the Mineral Resource Estimates for the Mosquito Hill and Reid Gold Deposits at the Company's Gold Anchor Project.

The Report is titled "National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report and Mineral Resource Estimates for the Mosquito Hill and Reid Gold Deposits, Gold Anchor Project, Grand Falls-Windsor, Newfoundland, Canada." The Report was prepared by Scott Jobin-Bevans, P.Geo., and Curtis Ferron, P.Geo., of Caracle Creek International Consulting Inc. ("Caracle Creek") based in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. The Report was independently prepared by Caracle Creek on behalf of the Company in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") and is effective as of March 15, 2026.

Correction Notice: This news release replaces the Mineral Resource Estimate table previously disclosed in the Company's news release on April 2, 2026. The combined Total Inferred grade was incorrectly reported as 0.45 g/t Au. The correct figure, as shown in Table 1 above, is 0.43 g/t Au, being the weighted average grade derived from the tonnage and contained ounces of the Mosquito Hill and Reid Inferred Mineral Resources. The combined Total Inferred tonnage (45,427,200 t) and contained gold (623,085 oz Au) are unchanged, as are all tonnage, grade, and contained ounces figures previously reported for the Mosquito Hill and Reid Deposits individually. The Mineral Resource Estimates themselves have not changed, and the corrected combined grade is reflected in the NI 43-101 Technical Report filed concurrently with this news release.

Notes to Table 1 (applies to both MREs):

(1) Qualified Persons: Scott Jobin-Bevans (P.Geo.) and Curtis Ferron (P.Geo.) of Caracle Creek International Consulting Inc., are the Qualified Persons responsible for this Mineral Resource Estimate as defined by NI 43-101.

(2) Resource Classification: The MREs have been classified in the Indicated and Inferred mineral resource categories at the Mosquito Hill Deposit and classified in the Indicated and Inferred categories at the Reid Deposit. Presently, there are no Measured Mineral Resources at the Mosquito Hill and Reid Deposits. For the Mosquito Hill Deposit, Indicated blocks were defined by blocks within the mineralized wireframe satisfying average sample distance <75 m, a minimum of 10 contributing composite samples, slope of regression ≥0.80, and estimated in Pass 1 or Pass 2. Inferred blocks were defined by average sample distance <200 m, ≥8 composite samples, slope of regression ≥ 0.40, and estimated in Pass 1, 2, or 3. All remaining blocks within the mineralized wireframe were deemed Exploration Potential. Exploration Potential is viewed as a conceptual/geological inventory and is in accordance with the restricted-disclosure provisions under CIM 2014 standards. The Exploration Potential described herein is not a resource and has not been given gross in-situ metal values. For the Reid Deposit, Indicated blocks were defined by blocks within the mineralized wireframe satisfying average sample distance ≤ 50 m, a minimum of 10 contributing composite samples, and slope of regression > 0.85. All remaining estimated blocks within the mineralized wireframe were classified as Inferred.

(3) Reporting Cut-Off Grade: Mineral resources are reported at a cut-off grade of 0.25 g/t Au.

(4) High-Grade Capping: Gold assay values were capped at 5.0 g/t Au prior to compositing.

(5) Specific Gravity: Both deposits used an average specific gravity (SG) of 2.80 g/cm³ for bulk density conversion. The Mosquito Hill Deposit was based on 37 core measurements from the 2009 and 2010 drilling programs. SG measurements were consistent, ranging from 2.70 to 3.00 g/cm³. The Reid Deposit used 55 core measurements from the 2003, 2004, 2009, and 2010 drilling programs. SG measurements were consistent, ranging from 2.70 to 3.20 g/cm³.

(6) Open Pit Optimization: Calculation of the simulated open pit used: a maximum pit slope angle of 50 degrees, US$4,250/oz Au, gold recovery of 85%, gold selling cost of US$425, operating cost of $13.00/t, 2% NSR for Mosquito and 2.5% NSR for Reid, 5% dilution, 95% mining recovery, and 10,000 tonnes per day throughput.

(7) Block Model: The block model is orthogonal with a parent block size of 10 m × 10 m × 5 m. The model was constructed using Seequent's Leapfrog Geo/Edge software. At the Mosquito Hill Deposit 60 drill holes totalling 6,138.88 metres were used to define the MRE. At the Reid Deposit 21 drill holes totalling 3,135.67 metres were used to define the MRE.

(8) Grade Estimation: Gold grades (capped at 5.0 g/t Au) were estimated into the block model using Ordinary Kriging (OK) as the primary interpolation method. At Mosquito Hill the estimation was performed in four passes with progressively relaxed search ellipsoid dimensions. A fixed ellipsoid orientation of Dip 15° / Dip-Azimuth 190° / Pitch 100° was applied across all passes, consistent with the variogram model and deposit geometry. A maximum of 3 composites per drill hole was enforced in Passes 1 through 3. Combined with the minimum sample requirements, this implicitly guarantees that each block is informed by composites from at least 3 independent drill holes in Passes 1 and 2 (minimum 9 samples ÷ max 3 per hole), and at least 2 drill holes in Pass 3 (minimum 6 samples ÷ max 3 per hole). The drill hole limit was disabled in Pass 4; blocks estimated in Pass 4 therefore carry no minimum drill hole constraint and a single drill hole may inform the entire block estimate. ID3 and Nearest Neighbour (NN) methods were used for validation purposes. For the Reid Deposit, Gold grades (capped at 5.0 g/t Au) were estimated into the block model using Ordinary Kriging (OK) as the primary interpolation method. The estimation was performed in three passes with progressively relaxed search ellipsoid dimensions. A fixed ellipsoid orientation of Dip 22° / Dip-Azimuth 205° / Pitch 80° was applied across all passes, consistent with the variogram model and deposit geometry. A maximum of 3 composites per drill hole was enforced in Passes 1 through 3. Combined with the minimum sample requirements, this implicitly guarantees that each block is informed by composites from at least 3 independent drill holes in Passes 1 and 2 (minimum 9 samples ÷ max 3 per hole), and at least 2 drill holes in Pass 3 (minimum 6 samples ÷ max 3 per hole). Blocks within the mineralized wireframe that did not satisfy Pass 3 search criteria were not estimated. ID3 and Nearest Neighbour (NN) methods were used for validation purposes.

(9) Compositing: Assay results were composited into 5 m downhole intervals within the mineralized wireframe. Intervals shorter than 0.5 m were distributed equally between the two adjacent composites. A hard boundary constraint was applied at the wireframe; composites outside the wireframe were not used to estimate blocks within the mineralized solid.

(10) CIM Guidelines and Standards: The Mineral Resources described above have been prepared in accordance with the current CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (2014) and CIM Best Practice Guidelines (2019).

(11) Rounding: Numbers have been rounded to reflect the appropriate level of precision. Differences may occur in totals due to rounding.

(12) Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves: Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves as they have not demonstrated economic viability. The quantity and grade of reported Inferred Mineral Resources are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define these Inferred Mineral Resources as Indicated or Measured.

(13) Material Factors: The Qualified Persons have not identified any known legal, political, environmental, or other relevant factors that could materially affect the potential development of the mineral resources or the validity of this estimate.
