ADVANCED GOLD EXPLORATION ANNOUNCES UPLISTING TO OTCQB

Advanced Gold Exploration Inc.'s common shares have been approved for uplisting from the OTC Pink Market to the OTCQB Venture Market, effective at the opening of market trading on April 2, 2026.

The company will continue to trade under its current U.S. symbol AUHIF and its primary listing on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol AUEX.

This transition marks a significant milestone in the company's strategy to broaden its investor base and enhance shareholder value. The OTCQB is designed for developing and entrepreneurial companies and requires a higher level of transparency and regulatory oversight than the OTC Pink Market.

Key benefits of the uplisting include:

• Enhanced visibility: greater exposure to a wider range of U.S. institutional and retail investors;
• Increased liquidity: improved trading accessibility for international stakeholders;
• Standardized reporting: adherence to strict financial reporting and corporate governance standards, providing investors with greater confidence and transparency.

"Uplisting to the OTCQB is a natural step in our evolution as we continue to advance our recent acquisition of the Silver Belle property in Nevada. We believe the Silver Belle has all the earmarkings of a CRD (carbonate replacement deposit) and look forward to showcasing our findings to U.S. investors with this listing," said Arndt Roehlig, chief executive officer of Advanced Gold.

Advisory services

Advanced Gold wishes to acknowledge the assistance of The Exchange LLC, which provided strategic guidance and support throughout the OTCQB uplisting process.
