GOLD HUNTER RESOURCES COMPLETES AI-ASSISTED TARGETING AT GREAT NORTHERN AHEAD OF INAUGURAL DRILL PROGRAM

Gold Hunter Resources Inc. contractor Windfall Geotek Inc. (Canadian Securities Exchange: WIN) (OTCQB: WINKF) has completed a machine-learning-based targeting analysis across its district-scale Great Northern project in northwest Newfoundland, Canada. The analysis generated 40 gold exploration targets, including five high-priority areas confirmed by both models. Together with the company's geophysical survey completed in October, 2025, these results form part of Gold Hunter's data-driven technical workflow informing its fully financed inaugural diamond drill program of up to 10,000 metres. Contractor tendering is under way and mobilization preparations will follow shortly.

Sean Kingsley, president and chief executive officer of Gold Hunter, commented:

"At the junior stage, every drill hole matters. We view the Windfall Geotek AI-assisted targeting analysis as another useful layer in the process as we prepare for our inaugural drill program at Great Northern. By integrating geology, structure, geochemistry, geophysics, historical drilling and modern data analysis, the AI-generated targets will be reviewed alongside our VTEM survey results and structural interpretation as our technical team advances toward final drill collar selection. We are encouraged to see the results support known mineralized trends while also highlighting additional areas for evaluation across the district."

Gold Hunter engaged Windfall Geotek to apply its proprietary AI system across the extensive data set compiled at the Great Northern project, drawing on 398 drill holes containing 23,493 gold assays, 7,850 surface rock samples and geophysical data, including the company's first-ever district-scale VTEM plus and horizontal magnetic gradiometer survey completed in October, 2025. The AI system identifies areas that share geological characteristics with previously reported mineralized occurrences, providing an additional layer of support for the company's technical team. Key parameters and results are as follows:

• Two models were applied: model 1 covered 864.30 square kilometres and model 2 covered 286.37 square km;
• Model 1 training data set: 20,709 gold assays of which 2,231 met the Au greater than or equal to 0.5 ppm (part per million) threshold;
• Model 2 training data set: 29,861 gold assays of which 5,072 met the Au greater than or equal to 0.5 ppm threshold;
• 40 gold exploration targets generated in total:
  • Nine targets from model 1 at a 90-per-cent similarity threshold;
  • 31 targets from model 2 at a 70-per-cent similarity threshold;
  • Higher similarity thresholds indicate a stronger match to known mineralized signatures.
• Five high-priority areas identified by both models, representing elevated zones for follow-up evaluation.

The resulting target maps are consistent with existing geological interpretations within the project area and outline additional zones for follow-up evaluation. Several targets spatially correspond to previously reported mineralized occurrences and historical assay results. The company believes this information may assist in prioritizing areas for further technical review ahead of the 2026 drill program.
