ICG Silver & Gold arranges local drilling support at Tuscarora Phase 1 program

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - June 18, 2026) - ICG Silver & Gold Ltd. (CSE: ICG) (FSE: JI0) (OTC Pink: ICGSF) ("ICG" or the "Company") a precious minerals exploration Company focused on the Tuscarora District in Elko County, Nevada (the " Project " or " District "), is pleased to announce that it has entered into local drilling support arrangements with Modern Land & Development LLC (" ML&D "), a Nevada-based contractor, to support the Company's upcoming Phase 1 Drill Program. ML&D has been engaged to provide drill pad, access road, and related earthwork support for ICG's planned 3,000-metre Phase 1 Drill Program. These arrangements represent an important step in advancing the Company's drill-readiness activities at the Tuscarora District and are intended to support efficient field execution as ICG prepares to test multiple silver-gold targets across the district.

"Securing local support for road and pad construction is a key operational milestone as we move toward drilling at the Tuscarora District," stated Korbon McCall, VP of Exploration. "ML&D brings local experience, equipment, and field capabilities that will help us prepare priority drill sites while maintaining a practical, responsible approach to access, disturbance, and reclamation." The initial scope of work is expected to include construction and preparation of access roads, drill pads, and sumps required to support the upcoming drill campaign (see Figure 1). The Company believes that using a local contractor offers logistical advantages, supports the surrounding community, and streamlines the execution of near-term exploration activities.

The program is expected to focus on numerous silver-gold targets, including areas with limited modern exploration but favorable historical results and strong geological potential.

The Company's current operational planning includes advancing access preparation, final drill logistics, water sourcing, and site readiness ahead of mobilization. Further updates will be provided as the Company advances toward commencement of drilling.
