Rocky Shore strengthens Newfoundland VMS presence

TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / September 16, 2026 / Rocky Shore Gold Ltd. (" Rocky Shore " or the " Company ") (CSE:RSG)(OTCQB:RSGLF) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an option agreement for the Handcamp Property, a purchase agreement for the Springdale Property and has completed the staking of additional claims in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Both properties and the staked claims trend within the Roberts Arm VMS belt, host to the former high-grade Buchans VMS mine. The newly termed Rocky Pond VMS Project (" Rocky Pond ") has the potential to enhance the Company's discovery profile in a VMS belt known for gold-rich polymetallic mineralization. It will also complement the Company's Gold Anchor Project located in one of Canada's most prospective gold belts in central Newfoundland (see Map 1 and Map 2).
