Lac Gold Limited has reported high-grade assays and broad mineralised envelopes from an additional 20 diamond drillholes at the Astoria deposit, located within the 100%-owned Rouyn Gold Project in Québec, Canada.

The latest drilling program returned higher-grade intercepts within a broader mineralised system, including 7.5 metres at 11.17g/t gold from hole AS-26-808, which also encountered a broader envelope of 46.5 metres at 1.99g/t gold. Additional higher-grade results featured 2.0 metres at 17.08g/t gold in hole AS-26-804 and 2.9 metres at 10.78g/t gold in hole AS-26-802. Broad hydrothermal alteration intervals also continued to define the scale of the system, highlighted by 86.0 metres at 1.12g/t gold in hole AS-26-806 and 86.6 metres at 0.59g/t gold in hole AS-26-801.

Intersected intervals are reported as downhole lengths, with true widths remaining undetermined at this stage. Lac Gold acquired full ownership of the Rouyn Gold Project through a corporate merger finalized in late 2025.

“This is another strong set of drilling results from Astoria. These results continue the pattern we have seen throughout this year's program of broad zones of gold mineralisation surrounding higher- grade cores, with the drilling continuing to build our confidence in the continuity of the mineralised system.”

— Andrew Stocks, Managing Director

Drilling remains active at Astoria along the eastern corridor of the project. Lac Gold has also begun reviewing opportunities to expand exploration drilling into other target areas across the broader Rouyn Gold Project.

Data from the ongoing campaign will be combined with historical drilling results to formulate an updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the property. The current resource base stands at 1.66 million ounces of gold at an average grade of 3.28g/t across the Indicated and Inferred categories.
