Opus One Gold Corporation has completed its 2026 drilling program at the 100%-owned Noyell Gold Property, located in the Matagami mineral district within the Abitibi Greenstone Belt of northwestern Quebec. The campaign successfully traced the Zone 1 gold-mineralized structure continuously from surface down to a vertical depth of approximately 750 metres, where it remains open at depth.

Final assay results from the program's conclusion include hole NO-26-18, which intersected 2.34 g/t gold over 9.34 metres in Zone 2. The geological team is currently integrating the complete 2026 drill database into an updated geological and structural interpretation of the property.

“The 2026 program has materially advanced our understanding of Noyell. A year ago, our drilling had identified Zone 1 to approximately 500 metres vertical depth. We have now followed the mineralized structure from surface, down to approximately 750 metres, and most importantly, it remains open at depth.”

“The most important development for Zone 1 is that we believe we have identified the principal vector to be followed deeper. Hole NO-26-21a returned 4.92 g/t gold over 11.37 metres at approximately 700 metres vertical depth, approximately 200 metres below NO-26-07, which returned 8.22 g/t gold over 8.5 metres. This eastern shoot will be a major focus of our next phase of drilling.”

This ongoing evaluation will establish priorities for the next phase of drilling at Noyell, with exploration work focusing specifically on defining the continuation of the high-grade eastern shoot of Zone 1 below hole NO-26-21a.
