Canary Gold Corp.
 

Vancouver, British Columbia – November 25 th , 2025 – TheNewswire - Canary Gold Corp. (CSE: BRAZ | Frankfurt: K5D) (“Canary” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce encouraging results from heavy-mineral analyses completed by Overburden Drilling Management Ltd (ODM), a globally recognized Canadian domiciled laboratory specializing in heavy-mineral concentrate evaluation.

The results significantly strengthen the Company’s geological thesis that gold-bearing sediments, originating from erosion of the Andes Mountains, have accumulated within the Madeira River basin in Rondônia, Brazil, over extended periods. This supports the potential for sediment-hosted and paleoplacer gold systems across Canary’s expanding land position.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • ODM Ltd confirms strong heavy-mineral assemblages consistent with gold-bearing alluvial and paleoplacer environments in samples submitted by Canary Gold´s Madeira River Project Area.  

  • Results reinforce prior work, including the visible gold recovered in panned samples from reconnaissance air-core drilling initially announced in April 2025.  

  • Findings align with data from the sonic drilling program, mobilized in June 2025 to capture continuous sediment profiles for detailed analysis.  

  • Heavy-mineral indicators support ongoing target refinement across the Company’s tenements package including the additional tenements added to the portfolio in August 2025.

Please note that less than 2% of Canary Gold ´s extensive tenement package has been investigated by reconnaissance drilling to date with results clearly highlighting the immense scalability of this project.

TECHNICAL SUMMARY

Samples derived from reconnaissance stage surface outcrop sampling and sonic drilling were submitted to ODM Ltd for the preparation and independent laboratory evaluation of heavy mineral concentrates derived from these samples. ODM identified:

  • ODM’s report supports the project’s conceptual model as it concurs that the iron-cemented gravel, i.e., the mocururu, is clearly of the very mature, heavy-mineral-enriched placer type and its pebble varieties support the interpretation that the gravel is sourced primarily from the Andes, a known gold-endowed area that the Madeira River drains.  

`The iron-cemented gravel is clearly of the very mature, heavy-mineral-enriched placer type and its pebble varieties support the interpretation that the gravel is sourced primarily from the Andes, a known gold endowed area. The modern gold placers of the Madeira River are presumed to be second-generation placers produced by erosion of these placer gravels along the river course and re-concentration of their thus liberated gold in favourable traps along the riverbed. ‘Source ODM report to Canary Gold, November 2025.

  • The ODM report further describes the matrix of the prospective mocururu gravel consists of well-rounded quartz grains, indicating a long transport history and suggesting a very distal source area at a much higher elevation – presumably the Andes Mountains. This inference is supported by the lithologies of the pebbles in the coarsest sample, which in addition to coarse vein quartz and fine- grained cherty sediments includes ~20% less robust volcano-sedimentary clasts but no coarse-grained granite clasts matching the local bedrock.  

 
  • Although consisting primarily of quartz grains, the sandy matrix of the gravel contains 5-10% detrital ilmenite grains. Since ilmenite is a heavy mineral, its high concentration indicates that the host gravel is a placer gravel. The absence of magnetite, which is chemically less resistant than ilmenite, further indicates that the placer is very mature and may contain significant concentrations of other resistant minerals including gold.  

 
  • The modern gold placers in the Madeira River are presumed to be second-generation placers produced by erosion of the older, iron-cemented placer gravel from the river course and reconcentration of its gold in suitable traps in the riverbed.  

 
  • ODM’s investigation identified visible gold particles in a mocururu sample from sonic drill hole SN-007 and from two outcrop mocururu samples collected within Canary Gold’s tenement holdings.  

 
  • Apart from ODM’s investigation, Canary Gold’s field team has systematically continued with concentration, through mechanical centrifuge and manual panning, of samples collected from first pass air-core drilling and form mocururu outcrops. In that regard, visible gold was also identified in pan concentrates of seven samples from three air-core drill holes (AC-001, AC-003 and AC-004).

These findings support the interpretation that the Madeira River basin has acted as a long-term collector of gold-rich sediment, consistent with its historic reputation as one of Brazil’s most productive alluvial gold regions.

The ODM results integrate directly with several key milestones previously reported by the Company:

  • April 2025 – Visible Gold: Visible gold grains recovered in panned air-core drill samples, supporting early exploration targeting.  

  • June 2025 – Sonic Drill Mobilization: A sonic drill rig was mobilized to collect continuous core for stratigraphic, geochemical, and mineralogical analysis.  

  • August 2025 – Tenement Expansion: Acquisition of additional ground significantly grew the Company’s exploration footprint along the Madeira River.  

These datasets collectively support Canary’s phased exploration strategy as it advances toward its upcoming major drilling programme across its extensive tenement holdings.

Mark Tommasi, President of Canary Gold, stated:

  • “ODM’s results provide independent confirmation that our reconnaissance sampling successfully identified the presence of the targeted sediments hosting gold occurrences across multiple tenements and these findings validate our exploration model and support our view that the mocururu horizon represents a providing encouraging evidence of a gold-endowed system worthy of systematic drill testing. Importantly, to date we have tested only roughly 2% or our extensive tenement package with reconnaissance drilling, underscoring the enormous scalability and district-wide potential of the project.”  

The Company will integrate ODM’s data into its regional exploration model to refine target prioritization ahead of the upcoming tenement wide drilling campaign.

 

NEXT STEPS

  • Integrate ODM mineralogical data with geochemical, stratigraphic, and geophysical datasets.  

  • Undertake additional sampling via surface occurrence sampling and drilling beneath shallow cover.  

  • Advance and refine screw – auger and air-core drilling and follow-up drilling plans for high priority mocururu targets.
