GOLDEN AGE EXPLORATION LTD.

Exploration Update

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vancouver, B.C.: Golden Age Exploration Ltd. (the "Company") reports that it is planning its summer exploration program which is a continuation of its Phase I MMI TM soil geochemical sampling program and rock sampling on the Company's Magic Property, a gold/silver prospect in central British Columbia. Specifically, the Company sampling program is planned to include trenching to better examine the bedrock where the altered volcanics were discovered, which would include two 200 metre trenches across the gold, silver and cadmium MMI TM soil anomaly to test for mineralization associated with the anomaly.

In order to conduct this summer exploration program, the Company requires a permit from the British Columbia Ministry of Mines, with such application for the permit having been submitted in the fall of 2024. Since then, the Company has been working through this process and expects to have this permit on or before May 31, 2025.

By agreements dated February 3, 2025, two private companies, each controlled by a director of the Company, agreed to defer payment of their outstanding monthly fees (management and consulting fees) until on or after June 30, 2027. At February 28, 2025, these outstanding fees, including GST, total $152,775. These deferrals are non-interest bearing and are unsecured.
