Dryden Gold discovers two new gold-bearing structures at Gold Rock

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 29, 2026) - Dryden Gold Corp. (TSXV: DRY) (OTCQX: DRYGF) (FSE: X7W) (" Dryden Gold " or the " Company ") is pleased to announce recent drill results that confirm the discovery of two new gold-bearing structures at Gold Rock. A new high-grade mineralized structure between Elora and the Big Master gold systems ( Figure 1 ) was intercepted at 250-500 meters true depth ("Elora 2"). Like the multiple mineralized hanging wall structures, this new structure has no surface expression.

The mineralization is comparable to the brecciated quartz veining found at Big Master. The consistency of the structural setting and mineralization, along strike and at depth, supports the interpretation that this represents a significant mineralized corridor and not merely another hanging wall structure. A second structure was discovered in a single drill hole at the historic Paymaster target ("Paymaster") ( Figure 1 ).

Since drilling began in 2023, the Company has proven that Gold Rock is a very robust gold system. Having now drilled over 34,000 meters, Dryden Gold has expanded the mineralized footprint from three structures and two high-grade zones ( Figure 2 ) to over fifteen structures and a dozen high-grade zones ( Figure 1 ). Highlights: DGR-060C intersected 3.38 g/t gold over 4.30 meters including 19.90 g/t gold over 0.50 meters at 250 meters true depth ( Figure 3 ).

DGR-065 intersected 2.12 g/t gold over 1.02 meters 500 meters along strike from DGR-060C at 500 meters true depth. Elora 2 significantly increases the continuity of the footprint across Gold Rock. Paymaster expands the mineralized footprint across Gold Rock from 500 meters to 750 meters.

The current drill program included Dryden Gold's first test of the Paymaster target located east of the historic Big Master mine workings and adjacent to the Manitou Dinorwic def
