AUQ Completes Acquisition of BT Claims

Vancouver, BC, August 26, 2025 - AuQ Gold Mining Inc. (TSXV:AUQ; PINK:NSVLF) (the "Company") reports that it has issued final consideration for the acquisition from arm's length vendors to acquire 100 per cent of the Bellechasse Timmins project (B-T). It consists of 6 claims totalling 351.94 hectares (3.52km2) located approximately 100 kilometres or a 1.5 hour drive southeast of Quebec City in the Beauce-Bellechasse region of the Province of Quebec. The project has very good access, logistics, manpower availability and Quebec has been regularly ranked as a top exploration and mining jurisdiction by the Fraser Institute.

Project Summary

The B-T deposit contains at least 4 mineralized zones namely the Timmins 1 (T1), Timmins 2 (T2), Ascot and 88.

The B-T geological setting is characterized by folded mafic intrusive, volcaniclastite and sediments, having a general SW-NE orientation. Considering the structural context, the mineralized bodies are a folded mafic intrusive with an axial plane running NE, apparently dipping steeply to the SE and plunging to the SW.

T1, the largest zone to date is located within a heavily transposed and compacted anticlinal fold nose, along the structural plane. The T2 zone is located easterly along the flank of the fold. The 88 zone is located within a large transposed fold southeast of the T1. The Ascot is along the northern flank of the fold.

The 2012 SGS 43-101 compliant mineral Resource (base case) for T1-T2 zones using a lower cut-off grade of 0.6g/t Au and gold capping at 30 g/t Au is classified as:

Indicated: 2.905,000 tonnes at 1.83 g/t Au totalling 171,000 oz;

Inferred: 2.173,000 tonnes at 1.36 g/t Au totalling 95,000 oz.

The same Resource with the same lower cut-off grade of 0.6g/t Au and no capping limit is classified as:

Indicated: 2.905,000 tonnes at 3.36 g/t Au totalling 313,900 oz;

Inferred: 2.173,000 tonnes at 1.46 g/t Au totalling 102,000 oz.

The Company has paid $73,250 cash and issued an aggregate of 384,851 common shares to the vendors. All securities have been issued with a hold period legended thereon expiring 4 months plus 1 day, in accordance with applicable securities laws.
