NORDIQUE RESOURCES PROVIDES UPDATE ON BASE OF TILL DRILLING AT ISONEVA GOLD PROJECT, FINLAND

Nordique Resources Inc. has provided an update on its continuing base-of-till drilling program at the Isoneva gold project, located in the emerging western Finland gold belt in central Finland.

Highlights:

• BOT drilling under way: The phase 1 program, which began in mid-August at the high-priority Korpisalo target, is progressing well with steady collection of both till and bedrock samples.
• Visible sulphide mineralization and quartz veining: Rock chips collected from BOT bedrock sampling display chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite mineralization, as well as quartz veining, coinciding with zones of structural complexity and geophysical anomalies.
• Continuing sample processing: Samples have been dispatched to the lab, with shipments being submitted weekly to ensure continuous results and updates.
• Geophysical data interpretation: Historical induced polarization and magnetic data sets are being reinterpreted, with results to be integrated alongside geochemistry and mapping to refine drill targeting.
• Community engagement: Partner Gemdale Gold met with the Municipality of Reisjarvi, and a community information session is being planned to keep local stakeholders informed.

"We are very encouraged by the strong start to drilling at Isoneva," stated Sharyn Alexander, chief executive officer of Nordique Resources. "The combination of quartz veining, sulphide mineralization and alignment with strong geophysical anomalies gives us confidence that we are vectoring into a mineralized system. With assays expected shortly and samples being submitted regularly, investors can look forward to steady news flow as we move into the heart of our highest-priority target zone."

Drill program update

The phase 1 BOT program at Isoneva is systematically testing high-priority targets defined by strong gold-in-till anomalies, mineralized boulders and promising geophysical signatures. At Korpisalo, drilling is intersecting lithologies consistent with the geological model, including magnetic mafic volcanics, intermediate volcanics, intrusives and schists along contact zones.

Notably, early signs of quartz veining with chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite appear at the head of a boulder train, confirming the geological model and highlight the potential for gold-bearing systems similar to regional analogues, such as the Laiva gold mine, located approximately 50 kilometres to the north of Isoneva.

To date, 78 drill holes have been completed at Korpisalo, with drilling expected to conclude in the coming weeks as improved ground conditions accelerate progress. Once the Korpisalo BOT program is complete, the drill will be mobilized to Tiaskuru, where strong boulder trains and historic high-grade gold intercepts highlight excellent follow-up potential. Mineralization at Tiaskuru is hosted in high-grade quartz carbonate veins within a structurally complex dilational zone, with boulder assays returning values up to 106 grams per tonne gold and notable historic drill results, including 0.41 metre of 54 g/t Au and 0.44 m of 18.1 g/t Au (see May 22, 2025, news release).

Drilling is being undertaken using a track-mounted rotary air blast rig, well suited to Finland's glaciated terrain (see Aug. 21, 2025, news release). A wider-diameter casing tube takes a sample at the base of the glacial till. The drill bit is then changed to a percussion bit, and it drills a short amount into bedrock where it takes a rock chip sample. This allows for two highly accurate samples to be taken with each BOT drill hole. The samples are processed at Gemdale's core facilities in Ylivieska, where they are logged and prepared for dispatch to the lab for assay.

Next steps

The first assay results from Korpisalo are expected in early October, with continuing submissions ensuring a steady flow of results. These results will be used to validate chip logging and refine the geological model, playing a central role in prioritizing targets for follow-up exploration while the BOT drill remains mobilized.

This work will be complemented by the continuing reinterpretation of historical IP and magnetic geophysical data sets by a third party consultant. These results will be integrated with geochemistry and detailed geological and structural mapping to guide the design of the next phase of exploration work in first quarter 2026.

Looking ahead to the winter season, Nordique plans to advance diamond drilling at the highest-priority targets identified from BOT results, while continuing BOT drilling in areas requiring frozen ground access.

One such area is the high-priority Uunikangas target, characterized by strong gold-in-till anomalies and anomalous BOT results at the northern margin of a tonalite intrusion in a shear zone. Historic drilling at Uunikangas returned 17.9 m grading 4.3 g/t Au, including 2.1 m of 24.8 g/t Au, with boulder samples up to 462 g/t Au and 180.5 g/t Au (see May 22, 2025, news release).

Community engagement

Last month, representatives from Gemdale Gold met with the mayor and technical director of the Reisjarvi municipality to provide project updates, including continuing BOT drilling and plans for 2026 diamond drilling. The reception was positive, and a community information session is being organized to provide updates and maintain open communication with landowners and local stakeholders.

Qualified person and National Instrument 43-101 disclosure

Dr. Toby Strauss (CGeol; EurGeol), director of Gemdale, is a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Dr. Strauss has verified the data supporting this news release. For the exploration information relating to the drill holes, verification has included: checking a proportion of the reported assays against the issued laboratory certificates; reviewing the quality assurance/quality control results of the assay work orders; reviewing drill logs; and visually verifying sample depths against drill core photographs for drill core for the ISONxxx drill holes. For additional information relating to the drilling results discussed in this news release, including information regarding quality assurance/quality control and core sampling protocols, refer to the company's news release dated May 22, 2025.

Boulder samples have been compiled from two sources: (1) Gemdale file equals boulder samples collected by Gemdale or previous operators that were sent for assay, and laboratory reports are available; and (2) on-line, freely accessible data file provided the Geological Survey of Finland relating to layman samples that have been submitted for assay. Verification for the Gemdale boulder files includes checking a proportion of the reported assays in the company database against the issued laboratory assay certificates. No verification has been conducted on the layman sample database. Readers are cautioned that boulder sampling is selective by nature and are not necessarily representative of mineralization hosted at the Isoneva property. Dr. Strauss is responsible for the accuracy of and has approved the technical information contained in this news release.
