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. – October 27, 2025 – Canadian Gold Resources Ltd. (TSXV: CAN) (“Canadian Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has received the required permits to commence drilling at its 100%-owned Lac Arsenault Gold Project, located in the Gaspé Peninsula, Québec. The maiden drill program, expected to commence on or around November 17, 2025, will consist of a minimum of 36 drill holes totaling approximately 3,000 metres. The objectives of the program include: Establishing a modern, NI 43-101-compliant database of assay and QA/QC results to validate and advance the historical resource model at the Baker Vien and Mersereau Vein. Historical drilling outlined near-surface gold mineralization but pre-dates current reporting standards. The new program will twin select holes and complete step-out drilling to confirm grades, continuity, and data quality in support of a potential NI 43-101-compliant mineral resource estimate. Enhancing geological understanding of grade distribution and mineralized continuity by refining the structural and lithological controls on gold mineralization at the Baker Vien and Mersereau Vein. Drilling will test lateral and vertical extensions of mineralized zones, assess alteration patterns, and strengthen the geological model to support future resource estimation and targeting. Testing the strike and vertical extent of known gold-bearing structures using results from the recent induced polarization (IP) survey and geophysics work to refine drill targeting. The data will guide step-out and deeper drilling aimed at extending mineralization and identifying additional zones along strike and at depth. Management Commentary "Our team is excited to advance the Lac Arsenault property through its first modern drill campaign," said Ronald Goguen, President and CEO of Canadian Gold Resources Ltd. "This program represents an important milestone in confirming historical mineralization and defining the broader exploration potential of this high-grade, unexplored gold system." Canadian Gold anticipates the potential to expand the program with additional metres and drill holes as new targets are identified. These targets are being refined using data from an ongoing induced polarization (IP) survey conducted in conjunction with existing aeromagnetic (Mag) data, designed to highlight high-priority anomalies across the project area. 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.

Dieppe, N.B. – September 16, 2025 – Canadian Gold Resources Ltd. (“Canadian Gold” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce that it has engaged Geophysique TMC to conduct an induced polarization ("IP") survey at its 100%-owned Lac Arsenault Property, located in the Gaspé region of Québec. The survey is intended to enhance the Company's understanding of the structures that control three key mineralized zones - the Baker Vein, the Mersereau Vein, and the Type-4 Vein - and to help identify high-priority targets for future drill programs. These three veins host the historical non-NI 43-101 compliant resource estimates previously reported for the Lac Arsenault Property (please see Historical Resource Estimate Disclosure (NI 43-101 2.4), below). The data from the IP survey will be integrated into Canadian Gold's expanding exploration dataset, which already incorporates recent surface sampling results. Mechanical trenching and sampling along the Baker and Mersereau veins returned very high grades from surface exposures, including 28.9 g/t gold and 306 g/t silver (BVA2025-004) and 22.9 g/t gold and 399 g/t silver. Complementing this, airborne magnetic survey work at Lac Arsenault has outlined major fault structures, including the Grand Pabos Fault, together with newly recognized splays and secondary structures interpreted to be important controls on the emplacement of gold-silver-lead mineralization. Together, these results are sharpening Canadian Gold's exploration focus on high-priority targets while reinforcing the broader discovery potential across the Lac Arsenault property. Management Commentary "The initiation of this IP survey represents another important step in uncovering the value of our Lac Arsenault property by refining and prioritizing targets for the upcoming maiden diamond drill program," stated Ronald Goguen, President & CEO of Canadian Gold. "By applying modern geophysical techniques, we aim to validate historical results and further sharpen our understanding of the Baker, Mersereau, and Type-4 veins." An IP survey is a geophysical technique used to measure the electrical chargeability and resistivity of subsurface materials. In exploration settings, this method can detect disseminated sulphide mineralization associated with gold and base metal systems. By mapping variations in chargeability and resistivity across the target area, the survey provides a powerful tool to refine drill targets, prioritize anomalies, and strengthen the Company's exploration model. 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. – July 15, 2025 – Canadian Gold Resources Ltd. (TSXV: CAN) (“Canadian Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has received all required permits from the Government of Québec to proceed with a bulk sampling program with plans to test 5,000 tonnes of mineralized materials at its 100%-owned Lac Arsenault Gold Project, located in the Gaspé region of eastern Québec. The bulk sample is intended for exploration purposes only and is not considered a production decision. As a condition of the permit, the Company is required to drill three (3) shallow water monitoring wells in the vicinity of the proposed sampling area to identify potential groundwater presence. If water tables are encountered, baseline water quality testing will be conducted both before and after the program. Canadian Gold fully supports this requirement as part of its commitment to responsible exploration and environmental stewardship. Next Steps With permits secured, Canadian Gold will now begin preparations for mobilizing personnel and equipment to site. In the coming weeks, the Company will finalize agreements with drilling, excavation, and haulage contractors, complete the required water wells, and install temporary infrastructure to support safe operations near the Baker and Mersereau veins. Once site preparation is complete, material sampling is anticipated to commence and continue for approximately three weeks. The sampled material will be transported to a third-party facility for off-site processing and analysis. Updates will be provided as results become available, including recoveries and implications for future exploration planning. Management Commentary Ron Goguen, President & CEO of Canadian Gold, commented: “ Receiving this permit is a major milestone in the advancement of our Lac Arsenault Project. This program is designed to evaluate the technical and geological characteristics of the near-surface mineralization. Historical work conducted by Imperial and Esso Minerals in the 1970s reported a historical estimate of approximately 40,000 tonnes grading 15.43 g/t gold and 197 g/t silver (Stevenson, L., 1975, Geological Report on the Lac Arsenault Property, Esso Minerals Canada). A subsequent 1996 report revised the estimate to 199,580 tonnes grading 9.59 g/t gold, or approximately 61,536 contained ounces (Côté, R., 1996, Lac Arsenault Project Resource Evaluation, Unpublished Internal Report). While these historical estimates do not comply with current CIM standards, they indicate strong historical interest in this high-grade system. Additional core drilling, systematic surface sampling, and database verification will be required to validate the data and assess whether a current resource can be defined. ” Clarification on Economic Potential While Canadian Gold is encouraged by the opportunity to generate technical and metallurgical data from the bulk sample, no economic analysis has been completed, and there are no mineral reserves at Lac Arsenault. Any references to possible revenue from sample processing are entirely speculative and do not demonstrate economic viability. There is no production decision and no feasibility study has been conducted. Should positive results occur, proceeds may be allocated toward working capital, additional exploration, or future shareholder returns, but no production decision or dividend policy has been made at this time. There is no assurance that results will support future exploration or development decisions.
