(via TheNewswire)

Brossard, Québec - TheNewswire - January 30, 2026 — Windfall Geotek Inc. (CSE: WIN; OTCQB: WINKF) ("Windfall" or the "Company"), a pioneer in Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven mineral exploration since 2005, is proud to announce that recent drilling results from TomaGold Corp. (TSXV: LOT; OTCPK: TOGOF) have confirmed a major new mineralized discovery at the Berrigan Mine project, validating high-priority areas/targets(0-300 meters) identified in June 2024 by Windfall’s proprietary AI system.

Highlights of the Discovery

• Major Intercept: Drill hole TOM-25-015 intersected 5.75% ZnEq (1.34 g/t AuEq) over 98.5 m , including a high-grade interval of 26.67% ZnEq (6.26 g/t AuEq) over 4.90 m  

• Berrigan Deep Discovery: The AI-driven targeting successfully identified the potential for mineralization at depth, leading to the discovery of the "Berrigan Deep" zone, which remains open at depth.  

• Proven Accuracy: Windfall’s AI reduced the effective search area by 98–99% on the entire project , allowing TomaGold to focus exploration on the specific 50m x 50m cells that yielded these transformative results.

The Power of Digital Exploration

Using its proprietary AI System in combination with a strong historical exploration database and SIGEOM data covering 1,263.98 km² , Windfall identified 11 high-priority zinc targets in June 2024. The latest results from TomaGold’s winter drilling campaign confirm the presence of a large, active hydrothermal system.

The discovery in hole TOM-25-015, located at a depth of over 450 metres, represents a significant success for Windfall’s "Berrigan sector" digital model. By analyzing over 112,704 historical assays and evaluating 505,755 data cells , the AI system predicted the structural controls and geological patterns that have now been confirmed through physical drilling.

Management Commentary

Michel Fontaine, President and CEO of Windfall Geotek, commented:

“The results announced today by TomaGold are a 'watershed moment' for Windfall Geotek. Intersecting nearly 100 metres of mineralization in a zone like Berrigan Deep proves that our AI doesn't just find targets—it finds deposits. By leveraging 20 years of data and machine learning, we provided TomaGold with the digital map in top to this discovery. This is the ultimate validation of our technology as a critical decision-support tool for the modern geologists.”

Technical Details and Next Steps

Several mineralized zones remain open in all directions. TomaGold has indicated that 2D and 3D modeling is currently underway to further target the -250 to -500 metre interval, utilizing the experiences and vectors in 2D and 3D provided by Senior geologists, Windfall’s AI and upcoming geophysical surveys.
