ZEPHYR PROVIDES DAWSON GOLD UPDATE

Zephyr Minerals Ltd. has completed the third quarter of its comprehensive groundwater monitoring and analytical program at and surrounding the Dawson gold deposit. The fourth quarter program is scheduled for September, 2026, keeping the company on track to complete the full five-quarter program by year-end. Upon receipt and review of all analytical data, Zephyr intends to resubmit a mining permit application to the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety for its 100-per-cent-controlled Dawson gold property in Colorado, United States, in January, 2027.

About Dawson gold property

The Dawson gold deposit hosts an inferred mineral resource prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 of 343,000 tonnes grading 12.11 grams per tonne for 133,500 ounces of gold at a five-gram-per-tonne cut-off with no top cut, and 116,300 ounces of gold at 10.55 g/t with a 40 g/t top cut. The estimate has an effective date of July 19, 2013. No updates to the resource estimate have been made to incorporate the results from drilling programs completed between 2017 and 2020. The deposit is open at depth, with exploration potential to the east and west. A preliminary economic assessment was prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 with an effective date of March 21, 2017. Utilizing a gold price of $1,250 per ounce, the PEA showed robust economics with an all-in sustaining cost per ounce of $692. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Given the substantial increase in the gold price since 2017, the attractiveness of the Dawson project has been significantly enhanced. The potential to expand resources is excellent at depth on the Dawson gold deposit, along strike to the east in the 700-metre-long Sentinel zone, which has not been drill tested, and through follow-up drilling of promising targets in the Windy Gulch and Windy Point zones to the west. The Dawson project features key attributes, including a small footprint associated with the proposed underground mine, ownership or control of all necessary lands by Zephyr, a climate that supports year-round operations and nearby infrastructure and industrial support.
