Canadian Gold Corp. Tartan Mine “Western Flank” Step-Out Drilling Continues to Deliver

Flin Flon, Manitoba–(Newsfile Corp. – November 27, 2025) – Canadian Gold Corp. (TSXV: CGC) (“Canadian Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce ongoing results from its Phase 4 drill program at the 100%-owned Tartan Mine, near Flin Flon, Manitoba. Encouraging results, especially along the Main Zone’s Western Flank, continue to support the plan to move toward a potential mine restart. Highlights include 12.3 gpt gold over 14.0 metres, 8.2 gpt gold over 9.9 metres, and 10.7 gpt gold over 4.5 metres. Canadian Gold is currently in the process of being acquired by McEwen Inc. (NYSE: MUX) (TSX: MUX), with closing expected in early 2026.

Results contained in this news release include the following areas: 1) Main Zone’s Western Flank, 2) South Zone (which is parallel to the Main Zone), and 3) prospecting near the Tartan Mine (See Fig. 1, 2, 3 and 4). The continued objective of this drilling has been to increase the number of ounces per vertical metre, which could allow for higher annual gold production in a potential mine restart while driving economies of scale to lower production and development costs.

Tartan Mine: Recent Highlights

Main Zone – Western Flank

Five new holes were drilled along the Main Zone’s Western Flank. These holes successfully expanded the mineralization approximately 30 metres west, over a vertical extent of 80 metres (Fig. 2) (from 440 to 520 metres below surface). Highlights include 12.3 gpt gold over 14.0 metres, 8.2 gpt gold over 9.9 metres and 10.7 gpt gold over 4.5 metres. Canadian Gold’s exploration team believes there is excellent potential to expand this area further to the west, at depth, and closer to surface.

In addition to discovering additional resources to the west, there remains a good opportunity along the Eastern Flank, which has seen limited drilling at depth. Since beginning this multi-phase drill program, a total of 31 of 35 holes (89%) have successfully intersected what the Company believes to be potentially economic mineralization within the Main Zone.

South Zone

The objective of the ongoing drilling at the South Zone has been to expand the resource size, allowing for a higher production on a potential mine restart. Notable drilling results at the South Zone include 5.2 gpt gold over 5.0 metres in TLSZ25-38W1 and 4.4 gpt gold over 4.0 metres TLSZ25-40, each supported by internal high-grade intervals up to 12.5 gpt Au over 1.0 metre and 8.9 gpt gold over 1.6 metres, respectively (Fig. 3). TLSZ25-41 delivered a particularly significant intercept of 82.0 metres of 1.3 gpt Au, which contained multiple higher-grade sections. Collectively, these intercepts demonstrate the consistent presence of higher-grade lenses within broader mineralized envelopes. The results confirm that the South Zone remains an excellent growth opportunity requiring continued drilling and refinement of the structural controls governing gold distribution to fully evaluate its potential.

Near Mine Target Generation Confirms High–Grade Gold at Surface

Drill target generation on the Tartan West property, which adjoins the Tartan Mine (Fig. 4), commenced in the summer and has confirmed the presence of multiple areas of high-grade gold mineralization. Canadian Gold has an option to acquire 100% of the Tartan West property as detailed in its news release May 16, 2025. Initial work consisted of geological mapping, prospecting, and surface sampling to prioritize areas for trenching and drilling in 2026. Highlights from this work include grab samples that assays up to 28.9 gpt gold and channel samples that assayed up to 28.5 gpt gold. See Fig. 3 for target locations relative to the Tartan Mine.

Canadian Gold has optioned this property on the basis that it offers strong potential to expand the resource base and align with future infrastructure investments. The Tartan Shear extends westward from the Tartan Mine and presents significant exploration potential for hosting similar gold mineralization. A consolidated development strategy with a single processing facility at the Tartan Mine sourcing ore from multiple zones, including potential discoveries along the Tartan Shear Zone, could materially reduce capital intensity on a per-ounce basis while enabling access through existing and planned underground infrastructure.
