Brossard, Québec / TheNewswire / December 24, 2025 — Windfall Geotek Inc. (CSE: WIN; OTCQB: WINKF) ("Windfall" or the "Company"), a pioneer in Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven mineral exploration since 2005, is pleased to announce they will use their proprietary Machine Learning AI System across Gold Hunter Resources’ (HUNT:CSE; OTCQB: HNTRF; FSE: 6RH) Great Northern Project located in northwest Newfoundland. To demonstrate its high conviction in the target generation process, Windfall Geotek has agreed to an arrangement where a significant portion of its service fee will be settled in equity. The total contract value is $65,000 of which $25,000 will be settled in shares of Gold Hunter Resources as part of their current financing round at a price of $0.05 per share (Skin in the game).

Windfall will process Gold Hunter’s massive, consolidated database to generate predictive drill targets ahead of their initial drilling campaign. Preliminary resulst are expected by January 2026. The AI System deployment involves two (2) distinct modeling phases:

• Model 1 (Regional Scale): Covering 864.30 sq/km at a 50 metre (341,997 datapoints) resolution. This model integrates merged magnetic data and topography with 20,709 historical gold assays (see Figure 1) to identify broad regional trends and structural corridors 

• Model 2 (High-Resolution VTEM Focus): Covering 286.37 sq/km at a sharp 25 metre resolution. This advanced model utilizes the newly acquired VTEM Plus magnetic-electromagnetic data, processing 458,445 individual datapoints alongside 29,861 gold assays (Figure 2)

• The Thor Deposit: Hosting 5.46 million tonnes at an average grade of 1.45 g/t Au, featuring high-grade zones surrounded by extensive low-grade halos. Of importance, the deposit is surrounded by intersecting gold-bearing mineralized trends and corridors that were never included in the NI 43-101 resource calculation 

• The Rattling Brook Deposit: A significant historic resource characterized by disseminated gold mineralization, providing a distinct digital signature for the AI to track across the wider property. 

For additional details on the results presented in our figure, readers are invited to consult the press release issued this morning by Gold Hunter.

Michel Fontaine, President and Chief Executive Officer of Windfall Geotek, commented:
" The Great Northern Project possesses the ideal ‘data density’ required for high-confidence AI modeling. Our system excels at identifying shallow targets (0–300 metres) in geologies where surface potential is obscured by extensive overburden, common at Great Northern, where cover can reach up to 5 metres. By extracting the specific digital signatures of the Thor Deposit, Rattling Brook, and the extensive gold-bearing trends identified on surface, our algorithms can pinpoint identical geological patterns hidden across the wider district. We expect this process to reduce the effective exploration footprint by up to 99%, allowing Gold Hunter to focus their capital on the highest-probability zones . "

Sean Kingsley, President and Chief Executive Officer of Gold Hunter, commented: " Deploying Windfall Geotek allows us to leverage an extraordinary amount of historical data that has never been consolidated nor viewed through the lens of modern AI. We are providing them with over 66,000 metres of drilling data, over 50km” of gold-bearing mineralized trends across the district, and a brand new, first-ever, VTEM survey to ‘train’ their algorithms. We look forward to receiving the final heat maps in Janaury to refine our initial drill program. "                                                                                                                                                  

By harnessing geophysical data, topography, geological insights, and cutting-edge high-performance computing, Windfall’s AI System uncovers hidden patterns that distinguish promising mineral zones from less prospective areas empowering smarter, faster, and more confident exploration decisions.
