Crossroads Gold expands Pambula program to 1,000+ soil samples

Highlights The broad-based soil geochemical program covering the Pambula Goldfield is now almost complete with 892 samples collected to date at the Pambula Goldfield. Further high-grade gold in soil assays received including 8.35 g/t Au, 5.05 g/t Au, 1.25 g/t Au among other highly anomalous results, indicating an array of mineralized structures traverse the Pambula Goldfield. A large inventory of 543 soil samples is pending gold assay, with numerous samples yielding highly anomalous gold pathfinder elements (Ag, As, Cd, Hg, Sb, Se) assays via XRF analyses.

The expanded program follows encouraging results from the Company's initial soil sampling program with gold in soil assays to 24.6 g/t Au (check assay of 21.3 g/t Au) and ongoing geological reinterpretation of the Pambula Goldfield. High-resolution airborne LiDAR survey completed across entire historic Pambula Goldfield. The LiDAR survey report identified 122 adits, 115 shafts, 981 shallow prospecting pits and interpreted 708 trenches.

LiDAR survey expected to improve structural interpretation, accurately locate historical mine workings and refine future drill targets. Soil sampling at the Back Creek Pyrophyllite Field, which is a 4.5 km long high sulphidation epithermal gold-Hg-Pb target, remains to be carried out. Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 28, 2026) - Crossroads Gold Corp. (TSXV: CRG) (OTCQB: CRGCF) (FSE: FI1) (the "Company" or "Crossroads") is pleased to announce significant progress of its exploration program (the "Program") at the Pambula Gold Project ("Pambula" or the "Project") in southeastern New South Wales, Australia.

The Program included the addition of 1,000+ soil samples at Pambula. Ongoing further sampling in the coming weeks will complete this initial phase of the expanded program. All the soil samples collected have
