Banyan Gold hits 5.70 g/t Au and 544 g/t Ag over 0.5 m at Seattle Creek, Yukon

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / August 25, 2026 / Banyan Gold Corp . (the " Company " or " Banyan ") ( TSXV:BYN )( OTCQB:BYAGF ) is pleased to announce that the first drillhole at the Seattle Creek zone on the greenfields Nitra Project (" Nitra "), has confirmed a new high-grade gold and silver mineralized system 25 km west of the AurMac Deposit. Only the top 95 metres of the 600-metre hole have been assayed to date. Seattle Creek is located on claims 100% owned by Banyan with no underlying royalties and is the second of eleven exploration targets being drill tested in 2026 on Banyan's broader 830 sq km AurMac and Nitra land packages in the Mayo Mining District, Yukon (The discovery at the first greenfield target, Roaring Fork and the discovery at Seattle Creek was announced on July 28, 2026, with visible gold and photos of drill core at Seattle Creek.)

Highlights from Seattle Creek Zone at Nitra :

NT-26-006 - 0.91 g/t Gold and 27.01 g/t Silver over 12.1 m from 41.7 m ;

including 4.04 g/t Au over 1.4 m and 3.32 g/t Au over 1.4 m; and within the 4.04 g/t Au interval, 0.5 m returned 5.70 g/t Au and 544 g/t Ag .

*Note: Only assays from the top 95 m of the 600 m NT-26-006 drillhole have been received to date; assays for the lower portion of the hole are pending.

"Initial assays from the Seattle Creek zone have returned high-grade gold and silver mineralization, adding another mineralized zone to our greenfields Nitra project," stated Tara Christie, President and CEO. "Diamond drillhole NT-26-006 intersected multiple occurrences of visible gold hosted in extensional quartz veins with associated bismuth sulphosalts and arsenopyrite. Together with the other geologic indicators, Seattle Creek has the potential to expand with follow-up drilling. The discovery of additional visible gold identified in drillhole NT-26-002, with assays pendin
