(via TheNewswire)

March 30, 2026 – TheNewswire - Gold Orogen Resources Corp (CSE:OROG) (the “Company” or “Gold Orogen”),  is pleased to confirm that based on its fall 2025 diamond drill program that a mineralized structural zone exists and is likely the extension of the Williams Brook mineralization (Kinross-Puma’s asset). Results from their program were positive with Kinross recently increasing its equity stake. More analysis and structural interpretation at McIntyre Brook are required to accurately locate the zone in a three-dimensional space.  As with most lode gold systems, there is likely a plunge or rake to the mineralization, which the Company expects to intersect in the upcoming 2026 Drill Program.

Gold Orogen is an early-stage, pure-play gold exploration company formed via an RTO with a wholly owned subsidiary of Lode Gold Resources. The Company holds two highly prospective assets in Yukon and New Brunswick, providing strong optionality through exposure to two geologically prolific and gold-endowed mineral belts.

Highlights:  

• Program confirms that a mineralized horizon exists and is traceable, likely to be the extension of the Williams Brook (Kinross-Puma) mineralization.  

• Six diamond drill holes were completed, totaling 847.9 m. They were designed to test for an extension to Kinross-Puma’s Lynx Zone along a 3 km corridor of geochemical anomalies.  

• 3 out of 6 drill holes intersected gold mineralization.  

• Two holes (including MB25-02) intersected an altered structural zone, one hole intersected a gold mineralized quartz vein.  

• MB25-02 returned 1.12 g/t Au over 4.85 m (core length; true width not yet determined).  

• Results validated the exploration targeting model and indicate strong potential of continuation of the Williams Brook gold mineralization trend to Gold Orogen’s property.  

Based on findings from a successful 2025 field season , where systematic exploration that integrated previously airborne geophysics with surface geochemistry and overburden stripping and prospecting was conducted to evaluate known mineralized trends, a 2025 drill program (see Figure 1) was designed.  This drill program produced three (3) holes with mineralized intercepts. Two of these holes, including MB25-02, intersected an altered structural zone, while a third intercepted mineralized quartz vein.  MB25-02 returned assays of 1.12 g/t over 4.85 m (core length, as there is insufficient data to interpret true width at this point). The confirmation of mineralized intercepts validated exploration strategy. It clearly indicates upside potential in the upcoming drill program, expected to be launched in Spring of 2026.  

The 2025 field program was abbreviated due to field access closures enforced by the Government of New Brunswick due to the high risk of forest fires.  As such, work was completed on only 1.5 km of the 3 km strike; 50% remains unexplored with a strong upside potential. Previous exploration programs and data have yielded significant results such as prospecting grab samples of up to 7 g/t Au, and trench grab samples of 6.1 g/t Au and 6.95 g/t Au (Figure 2).*

*Cautionary Note on Grab Samples: The rock grab samples discussed in this press release are selective by nature and are not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted on the property. The grades of these samples should be considered as indicative of the presence of mineralization, not as an average grade.

Bill Fisher, Director of the Board and Technical Committee Chair, comments, “This first pass of drilling is encouraging in that we confirmed extension of the Kinross-Puma Lynx zone but needed more holes and depth to accurately pinpoint source of mineralization.”

Gary Wong, VP Exploration comments, “This successful proof-of-concept drill program is a vital step in the exploration success of any property, and the results strongly indicate that we are onto a major mineralized system which we plan to systematically explore.”

The Company is working with its joint venture partner to finalize 2026 budget, exploration field work and drill targets for orogenic and RIRGS targets.

ABOUT GOLD OROGEN

As the Resulting Issuer of the February 2026 reverse-take-over of Great Republic Mining (CSE:GRM) by 1475039 B.C. Ltd (“1475039”), former subsidiary of Lode Gold (TSXV:LOD), Gold Orogen is an early-stage exploration pure play with quality assets in the Yukon and New Brunswick, Canada. Optionality exists as assets are diversified on two mineral belts that are known to have prolific gold endowment. 

New Brunswick Assets - During late 2024, a joint venture was formed between subsidiary company 1475039 and the Company’s 19.9% strategic investor to create one of the largest land packages in New Brunswick, consisting of an area spanning 445 km 2  with a 44 km strike. The McIntyre Brook and Riley Brook properties sit on a highly prospective belt that has seen many exciting discoveries including Dalradian, New Found Gold and Calibre Mining. The Kinross-Puma joint venture project surrounds McIntyre Brook.

Yukon Assets - The Golden Culvert / WIN properties sit on the southern end of the Tombstone Belt which in recent years has seen extensive exploration success. It has Reduced Intrusion-Related Gold Systems (RIRGS) targets and sedimentary hosted orogenic mineralization. Over 4,500 m has been drilled with 50 gram meter intercepts.  *Cautionary note: This is not a true width calculation as the true attitude of the mineralized body is unknown at this time.

All statements included in this news release, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements including, without limitation, statements with respect to the use of proceeds, advancement and completion of resource calculation, feasibility studies, and exploration plans and targets. Forward-looking statements include predictions, projections and forecasts and are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “plan”, “estimate”, “expect”, “potential”, “target”, “budget” and “intend” and statements that an event or result “may”, “will”, “should”, “could” or “might” occur or be achieved and other similar expressions and includes the negatives thereof.
