Gold Terra drills Campbell Shear Northern Zone 103N at Con Mine, Yellowknife

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / August 7, 2026 / Gold Terra Resource Corp. (TSX-V:YGT)(Frankfurt:TX0)(OTCQB:YGTFF) ("Gold Terra" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that drilling has started on Zone 103N, considered to be the northern extension of the Campbell Shear within the historical Con Mine and part of the Con Mine Option ("CMO"). Under the purchase agreement, the Company has the right to acquire 100% of the CMO property from a subsidiary of Newmont Corporation ("Newmont"), subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions set out in the agreement, as reported in the Company's news release dated November 22, 2021 . Gold Terra's option on the CMO with Newmont is valid until November 21, 2027 .

Chairman and CEO, Gerald Panneton, commented, "Zone 103N along the Campbell Shear has excellent potential to delineate additional ounces. Our recent June 2026 Technical Report includes an initial MRE of approximately inferred 595,000 ounces at Zone 103N within the Con Mine Option property, underscoring its potential at depth. Zone 103N could be a contributor to the potential restart of the Con Mine and is part of the Preliminary Economic Assessment currently scheduled to be completed by year end 2026."

The newly released 2026 MRE (see June 26 Technical Report ) prepared by SLR, includes an initial MRE for Zone 103N of:

Underground Inferred Mineral Resource of 5,083,000 tonnes averaging 3.64 g/t Au for 595,000 ounces of contained gold .

The newly re-evaluated historical Zone 103N is the Campbell Shear continuation to the North of the CMO property, which was developed in the later years of Con Mine's operating life and includes underground development and drilling data. Zone 103N was historically drilled from the Con Mine underground development in the northern extension of the Campbell Shear (CS) structure. The CS northern extension can be followed for 1.6 kilometres on three (3) different levels (2600, 2900 and 3100) or approximately 600 metres to 900 metres below surface. Zone 103N has excellent potential to increase the number of ounces on the project. The current initial drill hole, GTCM26-061, and additional drilling targets are shown in Figure 1 below:

Additional Claims Staked

The Company has staked and confirmed that three recently recorded mineral claims, YGT 2, YGT 3, and YGT 4, are active and held 100% by Gold Terra. Newly staked mineral claim YGT-2 comprises the extension of the Campbell shear along Zone 103N starting north of UTM coordinates N06973050 as shown on the Figure 1 long section. All ounces north under YGT-2 are 100% owned by Gold Terra.

Financing

The company has also recently announced that it has raised approximately C$ 9.2 million, of which a total of C$ 7.2 million is aimed at the ongoing drill program on Zone 103N, the historical tailings, and Yellorex technical program.

Upcoming Activities

Zone 103N drilling extension of the Campbell Shear zone

Historical drilling of the Con Mine tailings currently scheduled to start in August 2026

Yellorex drilling and metallurgical sampling currently scheduled to start in September 2026

A Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) is currently anticipated by year end 2026, and is anticipated to include all the winter drilling of 2026, and some of the current drilling.

About Gold Terra

The Yellowknife Project (YP) encompasses 836 sq. km of contiguous land immediately north, south and east of the City of Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories. Through a series of acquisitions, Gold Terra controls one of the six major high-grade historical gold camps in Canada. Being within 10 kilometres of the City of Yellowknife, the YP is close to vital infrastructure, including all-season roads, air transportation, service providers, hydro-electric power, and skilled tradespeople. Gold Terra is currently focusing its drilling on the Campbell Shear, where approximately 14 Moz of gold has been produced in the past, (refer to Gold Terra Oct 21, 2022, Technical Report ) and most recently on the CMO property claims immediately south of the past producing Con Mine which produced 6.1 Moz between the Con, Rycon, and Campbell shear structures (1938-2003).

The YCG and CMO properties lie on the Yellowknife greenstone belt, covering nearly 70 kilometres of strike length along the main mineralized shear system that hosts the former-producing high-grade Con and Giant gold mines. The Company's exploration programs have identified zones of gold mineralization and multiple potential targets that remain to be tested which reinforces the Company's objective of seeking to re-establish Yellowknife as one of the premier gold mining districts in Canada.

Information Concerning Estimates of Mineral Resources

Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Therefore, investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource could ever be mined economically. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of "Measured Mineral Resources," "Indicated Mineral Resources," or "Inferred Mineral Resources" will ever be upgraded to a higher category. The Mineral Resource estimates contained herein may be subject to legal, political, environmental or other risks that could materially affect the potential development of such mineral resources. Refer to the Technical Report, once filed, for more information with respect to the key assumptions, parameters, methods and risks of determination associated with the foregoing.

Cautionary Note to United States Investors

The Company prepares its disclosure in accordance with the requirements of securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of U.S. securities laws. Terms relating to Mineral Resources in this news release are defined in accordance with NI 43-101 under the guidelines set out in CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Council on May 19, 2014, as amended ("CIM Standards"). The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") has adopted amendments effective February 25, 2019 (the "SEC Modernization Rules") to its disclosure rules to modernize the mineral property disclosure requirements for issuers whose securities are registered with the SEC under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As a result of the adoption of the SEC Modernization Rules, the SEC will now recognize estimates of "Measured Mineral Resources", "Indicated Mineral Resources" and "Inferred Mineral Resources", which are defined in substantially similar terms to the corresponding CIM Standards. In addition, the SEC has amended its definitions of "Proven Mineral Reserves" and "Probable Mineral Reserves" to be substantially similar to the corresponding CIM Standards.

U.S. investors are cautioned that while the foregoing terms are "substantially similar" to corresponding definitions under the CIM Standards, there are differences in the definitions under the SEC Modernization Rules and the CIM Standards. Accordingly, there is no assurance any Mineral Resources that the Company may report as "Measured Mineral Resources", "Indicated Mineral Resources" and "Inferred Mineral Resources" under NI 43-101 would be the same had the Company prepared the Mineral Resource estimates under the standards adopted under the SEC Modernization Rules. In accordance with Canadian securities laws, estimates of "Inferred Mineral Resources" cannot form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies, except in limited circumstances were permitted under NI 43-101.
