Canadian Gold Resources Uncovers High-Grade Gold-Silver Mineralization in Surface Sampling at Lac Arsenault Four Best Samples Return Grades up to 28.9 g/t Gold and 452 g/t Silver

July 9, 2025

Dieppe, N.B. – July 9, 2025 – Canadian Gold Resources Ltd. (TSXV: CAN) (“Canadian Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to report exciting new surface sampling results from its 100%-owned Lac Arsenault Property, located in Québec’s underexplored Gaspé Peninsula. This latest fieldwork, conducted in early June 2025, focused on exposing and sampling the Baker and Mersereau veins—two primary structures central to the Company’s upcoming bulk sample program.


High-grade assay results continue to validate Lac Arsenault’s strong potential to host a precious metals system, while also identifying new zones of mineralization in previously overlooked areas.

 

Sampling Highlights:

  • Sample BVA2025-004: 28.9 g/t gold, 306 g/t silver
  • Sample BVA2025-006: 22.9 g/t gold, 399 g/t silver, 17.8% lead
  • Sample Mersereau (unnumbered): 25.5 g/t gold, 447 g/t silver, 18.4% lead
  • Sample BVA2025-008: 5.32 g/t gold, 452 g/t silver, 25.7% lead


These grades are significant for surface sampling and support the near-surface potential for bulk-tonnage extraction.

Exploration Program Summary

The June 2025 program included mechanical trenching and sampling along the Baker and Mersereau veins. In addition to confirming historical data, new assays revealed broader zones of high-grade gold, silver, and lead mineralization than previously recognized.


Importantly, three samples from Type-4 veins—historically considered “poor in metals”—returned mineralization of economic interest. For example, Sample BV2025-002 returned:

  • 1.29 g/t gold
  • 39.0 g/t silver
  • 1.04% zinc


“We consider these sample results to be significant.” said Mark Smethurst, P.Geo., VP Exploration for Canadian Gold Resources. Not only have we confirmed high-grade gold and silver in our primary structures, but we’re now seeing mineralization in areas that had be previously written off by prior operators. This discovery opens new potential across the property and puts us in a strong position as we advance toward bulk sampling.”

 

Next Steps

Permitting for the bulk sample program is underway. Additional surface work and modeling will continue in parallel to expand the understanding of mineralization throughout the vein system.

 

QAQC

All technical information in this release has been reviewed and approved by Mark Smethurst, P.Geo., a Director of Canadian Gold Resources who is a Qualified Person as defined under National Instrument 43-101.


The above-mentioned surface grab samples were collected from mineralized quartz veins exposed on surface. Investors are cautioned that grab samples are inherently selective and serve to prove the presence of mineralization only. Grab sample were put into sample bags, marked and sealed on-site at the sample location. The samples were then transported in secured bags directly from the sample location sites to Actlabs, Hamilton. All are ISO/IEC 17025 accredited labs. Analysis for precious metals were completed by Fire Assay. Certified standards and blanks are inserted at a rate of two standards and a blank per 10 samples, duplicates are also completed.

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.

Dieppe, N.B. – June 12, 2025 – Canadian Gold Resources Ltd. (“Canadian Gold” or the “Company”), is pleased to report the completion of key site preparation activities at its 100%-owned Lac Arsenault Gold Project, located in the Gaspé region of Quebec. As part of preparations for the upcoming bulk sample program, Company crews have conducted surface washing of outcrop exposures at both the Mersereau and Baker Veins to further delineate mineralized structures and optimize the bulk sampling plan. The Mersereau and Baker Veins, previously highlighted in the Company’s April 22 and May 16, 2025 news releases, are known to host high-grade gold and silver mineralization. The recent washing activities have successfully enhanced surface visibility, exposed fresh mineralized rock and aided in the design of targeted extraction areas for the upcoming bulk sample.
