A2GOLD ACQUIRES STRATEGIC CLAIMS AT THE TAYLOR SILVER-GOLD-ANTIMONY PROJECT, NEVADA

A2 Gold Corp. has entered into a binding letter of intent to acquire a 100-per-cent interest in 26 lode mining claims (RT/JO) from Lodestar Management Group LLC located within the company's Taylor silver-gold-antimony project in White Pine county, Nevada.

The RT/JO claims consist of 12 RT claims, 13 JO claims and one TKO claim, and are strategically located within the central portion of the Taylor land package. This acquisition consolidates a key portion of the district and eliminates internal land fragmentation, allowing A2 Gold to advance Taylor as a unified, district-scale project.

Strategic importance of the RT/JO claims

The RT/JO claims cover a highly prospective area of the Taylor district, and are considered important for the continued expansion and understanding of the project's multimetal system. These claims are prospective for:

• Silver resource expansion, particularly along the northern extensions of the known mineralized system;
• Gold mineralization, associated with structurally controlled and Carlin-style targets;
• Antimony mineralization, which has been identified across the district and represents a growing U.S. critical mineral opportunity;
• Carbonate replacement deposit targets, which provide additional exploration upside within the broader system.

The acquisition strengthens A2 Gold's ability to systematically explore and develop Taylor without boundary constraints, while enhancing geological continuity across key target areas.

Strengthening a district-scale opportunity

The RT/JO claims represent a cost-effective consolidation of strategically important ground within the Taylor project. By securing these inlier claims, A2 Gold removes potential operational and development constraints while maintaining a modest royalty burden and strong economic flexibility.

The Taylor project continues to demonstrate potential as a significant precious metal and critical mineral system, with silver, gold and antimony mineralization occurring across a broad district-scale footprint.

Chief executive officer commentary

Peter Gianulis, chief executive officer of A2 Gold, commented: "The acquisition of the RT/JO claims represents an important consolidation of strategically located ground within the Taylor project. These claims sit in a highly prospective portion of the district and are directly relevant to the continued expansion of our silver resource, as well as our broader gold and antimony exploration strategy. Importantly, this transaction removes internal land constraints and allows us to advance Taylor as a cohesive, district-scale system. With silver, gold and antimony mineralization occurring across the project, we believe Taylor has the potential to emerge as a significant multimetal system in Nevada."

Transaction terms

Under the terms of the LOI, A2 Gold will acquire a 100-per-cent interest in the RT/JO claims in consideration for:

• $225,000 (U.S.) in cash, payable at closing; and
• Issuance of 316,377 A2 Gold common shares.

The vendors will retain a 1.0-per-cent net smelter return royalty on the RT/JO claims. A2 Gold retains the right to repurchase 0.5 per cent of the NSR for $500,000 (U.S.) at any time within three years of closing.

The transaction is subject to customary conditions, including the completion of satisfactory title due diligence, the transfer of historical technical data to the company, the execution of a definitive asset purchase agreement and the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

About A2 Gold Corp.

A2 Gold owns three highly prospective gold projects in the United States, all of which are in the mining-friendly jurisdiction of Nevada. A2 Gold's flagship district-scale Eastside gold-silver project hosts a large and expanding gold and silver resource, and is in an area of excellent infrastructure. Preliminary metallurgical testing indicates that both oxide and sulphide gold mineralization at Eastside is amenable to heap leaching.
