Dryden Gold Corp. has reported initial results from its 2026 regional exploration field program at the Hyndman Property in Northwestern Ontario, highlighted by grab samples returning up to 31.20 g/t gold.

The Hyndman Property is a large exploration package comprising over 6,000 hectares located approximately 45 kilometres east of the company’s Gold Rock Camp. The property is bisected by the Trans-Canada Highway and defined by a 12 km by 2.5 km gold-in-till anomaly corridor tracking the interpreted Wabigoon Deformation Zone.

Eleven grab samples collected from the property's exposure returned elevated gold values, including highlights of 31.20 g/t, 18.10 g/t, 5.38 g/t, and 1.11 g/t. Dryden Gold notes that grab samples are selective and not necessarily representative of the overall grade of the mineralized zone.

The company executes a two-pronged exploration strategy that balances advanced exploration at its Gold Rock deposit with regional mapping and till sampling across district targets. Dryden Gold controls a 100% interest in mining claims across a 90,000-hectare strategic land position hosting high-grade gold mineralization over 50 kilometres of potential strike length along the Manitou-Dinorwic deformation zone.

The current field program includes regional mapping, property-wide Heavy Mineral Concentrate (HMC) sampling, and till substrate sampling over recently staked areas. The HMC sampling program is approximately 86% complete and scheduled for completion on October 1, 2026. This sampling follows up on 2025 anomalies to trace gold grains toward bedrock sources.

The ongoing mapping program at Hyndman is translating the broad gold-in-till anomaly corridor into a prioritized pipeline of targets for a drilling program scheduled for this fall.

“With grab samples returning up to 31.20 g/t gold, Hyndman continues to be an exciting part of our two-pronged exploration strategy,” said Maura Kolb, P.Geo., President of Dryden Gold. “As we continue to advance Gold Rock, our regional program is designed to build a pipeline of compelling exploration targets and make additional discoveries across the district. With our HMC sampling approximately 86% complete and mapping advancing across the property, we are establishing the geological foundation to prioritize future exploration spending and unlock the potential of our strategic 90,000-hectare property package.”

The company's systematic regional exploration and targeting work across the expanded land package will continue through the fall as field teams finalize data integration to support upcoming drill programs.
