Dryden Gold intercepts 31.20 g/t Au in grab sample at Hyndman

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 9, 2026) - Dryden Gold Corp. (TSXV: DRY) (OTCQX: DRYGF) (FSE: X7W) (" Dryden Gold " or the " Company ") is pleased to announce initial results from its 2026 regional exploration field program including grab samples from its Hyndman Property ("Hyndman"). Hyndman is a large unexplored property package bisected by the Trans-Canada Highway and emerging as a highly compelling, district-scale target defined by a robust 12 km by 2.5 km gold-in-till anomaly corridor of elevated gold-in-till anomalies that closely track the interpreted Wabigoon Deformation Zone.

The Company's fully funded 2026 field program consists of a large regional-scale mapping and sampling program, property-wide Heavy Mineral Concentrate (HMC) sampling and till substrate sampling over recently staked areas. The field program started in May 2026 and is anticipated to be completed this fall.

"With grab samples returning up to 31.20 g/t gold, Hyndman continues to be an exciting part of our two-pronged exploration strategy," said Maura Kolb, P.Geo., President of Dryden Gold. "As we continue to advance Gold Rock, our regional program is designed to build a pipeline of compelling exploration targets and make additional discoveries across the district. With our HMC sampling approximately 86% complete and mapping advancing across the property, we are establishing the geological foundation to prioritize future exploration spending and unlock the potential of our strategic 90,000-hectare property package."

Hyndman Mapping and Sampling The 2026 mapping program at Hyndman is designed to translate the broad gold-in-till anomaly corridor into a prioritized pipeline of targets for drilling this fall. The Company is building on its previously reported results and initial drill campaign, which intersected gold mineralization in all six holes. Eleven grab samples collected from this exposure returne
