OPUS ONE GOLD CORP RESUMES DRILLING ON ITS 100% OWNED NOYELL GOLD PROJECT, ABITIBI, QUEBEC

Two drill rigs have been mobilized on Opus One Gold Corp.'s 100-per-cent-owned Noyell gold project located in the Abitibi mining district close to the mining town of Matagami in Quebec, Canada. A third rig could be added in February if it is deemed necessary to complete the program. The drill program follows up on Opus One's 2025 very successful program on its Zone 1 gold discovery.

The diamond drilling program will consist of approximately 26 holes adding up to around 14,000 metres of core. Numerous drilling targets have been identified to infill and to extend Zone 1 in all directions. Additionally, Opus One will test a new area in the western portion of the property where significant gold was reported in drill records in the 1980s and 1990s by previous operators.

This new target area is located approximately three kilometres to the west of Zone 1 and corresponds to the eastern extension of significant gold mineralization being currently defined by drilling on the neighbouring property to the west (N2 project, Formation Metals, formerly Wallbridge). The N2 project already hosts a significant historical gold resource (press release dated Dec. 11, 2025) and a major drilling program is in progress.

Opus One's interpretation indicates that the gold mineralization observed in its western portion of the property appears to correspond to the same geological gold-bearing structure that hosts Zone 1 in the central portion of the property. A total of five shallow holes will be drilled on this target. These will be the first holes performed by Opus One in this portion of the property.

Louis Morin, chief executive officer of Opus One, commented: "We are very enthusiastic about our upcoming new drill program. In 2025, Opus One completed 9,000 metres of successful drilling on its Zone 1 discovery, carried out a biogeochemical sampling survey around Zone 1 and a laser-induced breakdown spectrometry study on mineralized core to characterize the gold-bearing horizon and host units. Additionally, Opus One is developing new quality gold targets on the property. The company is therefore expanding its main mineralized zone, initiating the mineralogical characterization of its gold-bearing structure and gearing up for new discoveries along the same favourable structure and, hopefully, along parallel ones. No doubt 2026 will be another exciting year for the company."
