ARYA RESOURCES MOBILIZES DRILL CREW TO EXPAND HIGH-GRADE GOLD DISCOVERY AT WEDGE LAKE

Arya Resources Ltd. is mobilizing its drilling crew to commence a follow-up drill program at its Wedge Lake gold project in Saskatchewan, targeting the high-grade Twin zone and T-6 zone.

This program follows the company's recent drilling success at both zones, as announced.

Twin zone results: AR25-09 (Nov. 3, 2025):

• 3.86 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) over 44.0 metres (m) (76.5 to 120.5 m), including:
  • 9.90 g/t Au over 16.0 m (89 to 105 m);
  • 26.14 g/t Au over 3.80 m (94.6 to 98.4 m).

T-6 zone results: AR25-10 (Oct. 20, 2025):

• 21.59 g/t Au over 5.84 m (41.70 to 47.54 m), including:
  • 30.45 g/t Au over 4.06 m (43.48 to 47.54 m).

The upcoming drill campaign is designed to build on these encouraging results by expanding known mineralized zones, testing depth and strike extensions, and further evaluating the scale and continuity of gold mineralization.

Two distinct styles of gold mineralization identified

Arya has identified two distinct styles of gold mineralization at the Wedge Lake gold project:

• T-6 zone: orogenic/mesothermal gold mineralization;
• Twin zone: iron formation-hosted gold mineralization, comparable with major deposits, such as Meadowbank, Lupin and the Homestake mine in South Dakota.

The T-6 zone represents a classic orogenic gold system, characterized by structurally controlled quartz veining, alteration and gold mineralization formed during regional deformation and metamorphism. This style is known globally for hosting large, high-grade gold deposits.

In contrast, the Twin zone hosts gold mineralization within iron formation, a geological setting associated with some of the world's most significant gold camps. The style of mineralization at the Twin zone shows strong similarities to:

• Meadowbank gold mine (Nunavut, Canada);
• Lupin gold mine (Northwest Territories, Canada);
• Homestake mine (South Dakota, U.S.).

These analogs highlight the potential for large, long-life gold systems within iron formation-hosted environments.

The company will provide the market with further updates once drilling commences and as results become available.

The company has approved the issuance of stock options to certain board members for a total of 155,000 shares at an exercise price of 35 cents per share. On Jan. 5, 2026, Roger March, PGeo, a seasoned geoscientist with extensive gold exploration experience, joined the company's board of directors (Jan. 5, 2026).
