Canadian Gold Resources Provides Corporate and Project Updates

September 10, 2025

Dieppe, N.B. – September 10, 2025 – Canadian Gold Resources Ltd. (“Canadian Gold” or the “Company”), is pleased to provide an update on its exploration and development activities at its 100%-owned Lac Arsenault Property located in the Gaspé region of Québec. The Company is also announcing the resignation of Ken Booth from the Board of Directors.


Applications Submitted for Lac Arsenault Maiden Drill Program


Canadian Gold has submitted permit applications to the Ministère des Ressources naturelles et des Forêts (MRNF) for its maiden diamond drilling program on the Lac Arsenault Property. The proposed program comprises 36 drill holes totalling approximately 2,345 metres, with expected drilling to begin upon permit approval. The objective of the drill program is to take the extensive historical work completed at Lac Arsenault and advance it to modern reporting standards under National Instrument 43-101.  


Historical work at Lac Arsenault (1975–1996) outlined non-compliant resource estimates ranging from 40,000 tonnes at 15.43 g/t Au and 197 g/t Ag to approximately 200,000 tonnes averaging 9.59 g/t Au (~61,500 oz Au). These estimates predate NI 43-101 and cannot be relied upon as current resources, but they highlight the project’s long-recognized high-grade potential.


Through the upcoming drill program, Canadian Gold intends to:


  • Twin and verify historical drill holes and channel samples to confirm grades and geometry;
  • Apply modern QA/QC protocols to establish reliability of the data;
  • Generate sufficient new drilling data to support an independent mineral resource estimate prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 and CIM Definition Standards;
  • Convert these historical estimates into a current, compliant mineral resource that can be reported to the market, forming a strong foundation for future project development and valuation. 


Management Commentary


"The submission of our first drill permit applications marks an important milestone as we move toward validating the historic high-grade results at Lac Arsenault and establishing an NI 43-101 compliant resource base,” stated Ronald Goguen, President & CEO of Canadian Gold. “We believe Lac Arsenault represents a rare opportunity in Québec, one of the world’s most proven mining jurisdictions: a project with extensive historical work, strong high-grade potential, and excellent infrastructure. By applying modern exploration standards, we are committed to unlocking this value responsibly while engaging transparently with Québec regulators and local First Nations communities.”


Update on Bulk Sampling Program


On July 15, 2025, Canadian Gold announced that it had received permits from the Government of Québec to proceed with a 5,000-tonne bulk sampling program, conditional upon the completion of three shallow water monitoring wells in the vicinity of the proposed sampling area (See July 9, 2025 press release) and an Autorisation pour travaux à impacts (ATI) report.


The Company is ready to drill these wells immediately; however, the Québec’s Ministère des Ressources naturelles et des Forêts (MRNF) has since requested that Canadian Gold temporarily pause while it seeks additional input from another First Nations community, located approximately 18 kilometres from the proposed bulk sampling site.


Canadian Gold has already engaged with the Gesgapegiag First Nation community, which is domiciled within the project area, providing full details of the program and receiving no opposition during the allotted feedback period. In compliance with the ATI requirements, the Company is now re-engaging with the Mi'gmawei Mawio’mi Secretariat (MMS), the political and tribal council representing the three Mi'gmaq First Nations in the Gaspé region, to ensure transparency and comply with ATI. In parallel, Canadian Gold continues to work closely with the MRNF to finalize the process and is scheduled to meet jointly with the MMS and MRNF on September 11, 2025, regarding the ATI. At this time, the Company does not anticipate a material delay to the commencement of the bulk sampling program.


Board Resignation


Mr. Ken Booth has resigned as a Director of Canadian Gold, effective immediately, to focus on other professional commitments. The Board thanks Mr. Booth for his valued contributions since the Company’s inception and wishes him every success in his future endeavours.


About the Lac Arsenault Project


The Lac Arsenault Property is located in Québec’s Gaspé region along the Grand Pabos Fault, part of the Gaspé–Newfoundland tectonic belt. This structure shares geological characteristics with prolific gold-bearing systems such as the Cadillac–Larder Lake Fault Zone in Abitibi and the Cape Ray–Valentine Lake Shear Zone in Newfoundland.


The property hosts multiple high-grade, epithermal-style vein systems, including the Baker, Mersereau, and Dunning veins. Historical exploration outlined significant gold-silver-base metal mineralization, providing a strong foundation for the Company’s current work.

Dieppe, N.B. – Novem ber 25, 2025 – Canadian Gold Resources Ltd. (TSXV: CAN) (“Canadian Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to report that its maiden diamond drill program at the Lac Arsenault Project is now underway. Drill equipment has arrived on site, and the Company has completed the first drill collar. A total of 12 drill pads have been constructed to support initial drilling at the high-grade Baker Vein, forming the first phase of the Company's planned program. Canadian Gold is currently operating under a permit authorizing 36 drill holes totaling approximately 3,000 metres. As previously announced on November 14, 2025 ( Link to press release ), the Company has submitted an amended permit application to the Ministère des Ressources naturelles et des Forêts (MRNF), which is currently being reviewed. If approved, the amended permit would allow the drill program to expand to up to 60 drill holes, including approximately 15 holes designed to test new high-priority vein and stockwork-style targets identified through the recent Induced Polarization ("IP") survey. Management Commentary "Today marks an important milestone for Canadian Gold as we begin our maiden diamond drill program at Lac Arsenault," said Ron Goguen, President & CEO of Canadian Gold Resources. "The team has worked extremely hard to advance the Project to this stage, and we are pleased to have drilling underway on the Baker Vein. The recent geophysical work has significantly expanded our understanding of the structural corridor, and we believe the upcoming drill program, particularly the new targets identified through IP, has the potential to meaningfully advance the Project. We look forward to providing updates as the assay results become available, likely in the first quarter of 2026."

Dieppe, N.B. – November 4, 2025 – Canadian Gold Resources Ltd. (TSXV: CAN) (“Canadian Gold” or the “Company”) provides an operational update regarding its maiden diamond drill program and the planned 5,000-tonne bulk sampling program at the 100%-owned Lac Arsenault Project in Québec's Gaspé Peninsula, as well as recent changes to the Company's LIFE offering. Company Plans to Significantly Increase Maiden Lac Arsenault Diamond Drill Program Canadian Gold has submitted amended permit applications seeking approval to expand its maiden drill program to roughly twice the originally planned scope of 36 holes totaling 3,000 metres. This decision follows ongoing geophysical interpretation that has identified numerous high priority vein and stockwork type drill targets. The Company recently completed a tightly spaced Induced Polarization ("IP") survey across the Baker–Mersereau structural corridor. Preliminary geophysical interpretation work carried out by Jeremy S. Brett International Consulting Ltd. has identified multiple IP signatures along Line 2200N that closely resemble the response associated with the known high-grade Baker vein (please see Image 1, below). Although the Mersereau vein has not yet been fully interpreted on the current working map, its position and continuity are clearly expressed in the IP data, further reinforcing the technical rationale for expanding the drill program. In addition, possible stockwork zones have been identified up to 100m wide. These new geophysical targets, combined with a second set of drill collar locations submitted under the amended permit application, support the potential for a substantially larger first-phase drill campaign. The targets are situated within what the Company and its consultants refer to as the Stockwork Target Corridor, a near-surface (0–30 metres vertical depth) zone characterized by strong structural preparation and distinctive geophysical response. Given the strength and coherence of these new geophysical targets, the Company is evaluating a plan to materially increase the number of drill holes beyond the previously permitted minimum, with the objective of fully testing these newly defined priority areas. Management Commentary "We are very encouraged by the results of our recent Induced Polarization ("IP") Survey at Lac Arsenault," said Ron Goguen, President & CEO of Canadian Gold Resources. "The tightly spaced IP work across the Baker–Mersereau structural corridor has outlined multiple new high-priority vein and stockwork targets, some of which mirror the response of the high-grade Baker vein. The data also clearly define the continuity of the Mersereau vein. Based on these findings, we've submitted amended permits to roughly double the size of our maiden drill program to properly test these new geophysical targets." "The delay in receiving the ATI permits pushed our operating window into winter conditions", said Mr. Goguen. "Extracting and transporting material at this time of year would not be safe, or cost-effective. Out of caution we have elected to move the bulk sample into the spring of 2026. This results in only a minimal shift to the expected timing of results and any related free cash flow and we remain fully prepared to proceed as soon as conditions allow." Bulk Sample Program Deferred to Spring 2026 Due to Permitting Delays and Seasonal Access Constraints The Company is pleased to confirm that it has now obtained all permits required to execute the bulk sampling program, including the Authorization for Work in the Environment (ATI), as well as all approvals received during the recently completed First Nations consultation process. These permitting achievements represent a significant milestone for the Company and fully clear the regulatory path for bulk sample extraction. Although Canadian Gold is fully permitted and operationally ready, the start of bulk sample extraction has been rescheduled to spring 2026. The primary reason for this deferral is the later-than-expected receipt of the final ATI permit, which occurred after the Company's anticipated timeline. By the time approval was received, winter conditions in the Lac Arsenault area had already set in, with significant snowfall and ground freeze-up limiting safe and efficient field operations. Attempting to extract and transport mineralized material during winter would materially increase costs, reduce operational efficiency, and introduce unnecessary safety risks. Management has therefore determined that initiating the program in early spring 2026 is the most prudent and responsible course of action. While the timing of the physical extraction has shifted, the Company expects the financial implications of this revised schedule to be minimal. Under the previous plan, extraction was to begin in autumn 2025, with processing anticipated by mid-Q1 2026. With extraction now scheduled for spring 2026, the Company expects to receive results and related cash flow from the bulk sampling program in Q3 2026, representing only a modest adjustment to the timing of potential proceeds.

November 4, 2025
Dieppe, N.B. – November 4, 2025 – Canadian Gold Resources Ltd. (TSXV: CAN) (“Canadian Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the maiden diamond drill program at its 100%-owned Lac Arsenault Property, located in Québec's Gaspé region, is scheduled to commence on November 10, 2025. The program will comprise a minimum of 3,000 metres of diamond drilling in at least 36 holes, targeting multiple high-priority zones along the Grand Pabos Fault system. The campaign is expected to span approximately four weeks, with initial assay results anticipated in Q1 2026. Management Commentary "Initiating our maiden drill program at Lac Arsenault is a significant step forward for Canadian Gold," said Ronald Goguen, President and CEO. "This program is designed to confirm the strength, continuity, and expansion potential of gold mineralization within this promising structural corridor—an essential step toward unlocking near-term value and advancing the project toward production readiness." The drill program is designed to achieve several key objectives: Modernize and validate historical data Canadian Gold intends to establish a comprehensive, NI 43-101-compliant database integrating assay results and QA/QC protocols. The program will twin select historical holes at the Baker Vien and Mersereau Vein and complete step-out drilling to verify grades, continuity, and data integrity. These results will support the advancement of a potential NI 43-101-compliant mineral resource estimate. Refine geological and structural understanding Drilling will further define the geometry, grade distribution, and continuity of mineralized zones by improving the interpretation of structural and lithological controls on gold mineralization. This work will test both lateral and vertical extensions of known zones, evaluate alteration patterns, and enhance the geological model that underpins future targeting and resource expansion. Expand mineralization along strike and at depth Using data from recent induced polarization (IP) and geophysical surveys, the program will target extensions of the gold-bearing structures at the Baker Vien and Mersereau Vein. The focus will be on step-outs and deeper holes aimed at confirming the strike and vertical continuity of mineralization and identifying new zones of potential discovery. About the Lac Arsenault Project The Lac Arsenault Property, located in Québec's Gaspé region, lies along the Grand Pabos Fault within the Gaspé–Newfoundland tectonic belt. This structure shares geological characteristics with prolific gold-bearing systems such as the Cadillac–Larder Lake Fault Zone in Abitibi and the Cape Ray–Valentine Lake Shear Zone in Newfoundland. The property hosts several high-grade, epithermal-style vein systems, including the Baker, Mersereau, and Dunning veins, with historical exploration outlining significant gold-silver-base metal mineralization that provides a strong platform for the Company's current work. Covering more than 3,600 hectares, Lac Arsenault is strategically located near tidewater at New Richmond, Québec, offering excellent road, power, and rail infrastructure within one of Canada's most established mining jurisdictions. Historical Resource Estimate Disclosure (NI 43-101 2.4) Stevenson, L. (1975): 40,000 tonnes grading 15.43 g/t Au and 197 g/t Ag (Esso Minerals Canada). Côté, R. (1996): 199,580 tonnes grading 9.59 g/t Au (~61,536 contained oz Au). These historical estimates predate NI 43-101 and were based on sampling, trenching, and drilling using manual polygonal methods. A Qualified Person has not completed sufficient work to classify the estimates as current mineral resources or reserves. The Company is not treating them as current and further verification is required. These historical estimates pre-date the adoption of current CIM Definition Standards (2014) and therefore cannot be directly compared to modern resource categories (i.e., "Inferred," "Indicated," or "Measured"). The terminology and estimation methodologies used at the time are not compliant with current CIM categories, and no classification equivalence is implied. The Company considers these historical estimates to be relevant, as they demonstrate the presence of significant gold and silver mineralization at shallow depths within the Baker and Mersereau vein systems, which remain priority targets for verification and expansion. However, their reliability is uncertain because the underlying data, methods, and QA/QC procedures are not adequately documented to current standards. The Company is not treating the estimate as current. To the Company's knowledge, there are no more recent mineral resource estimates available for the Lac Arsenault Property that would supersede these historical figures. To bring these into compliance, Canadian Gold plans to: Conduct systematic drilling to confirm grades and geometry; Complete verification sampling and density determinations; Build a validated geological model with modern QA/QC protocols; Commission an independent NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate.
