Pelangio completes 2026 Manfo drill program at Pokukrom East

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - September 16, 2026) - Pelangio Exploration Inc. (TSXV: PX) (OTC Pink: PGXPF) ("Pelangio" or the "Company") announces that the 2026 phase of resource extension drilling of the Pokukrom deposits at Manfo has been completed and all assays received. Assays for five previously unreported drill holes are reported, with the best result among these holes in hole SPDD26-009 of 43 meters of 0.54 g/t Au including 18 meters of 0.82 g/t plus 8 meters of 0.80 g/t Au.

"We extended the Pokukrom East deposit, and there is more to test," said Ingrid Hibbard, President and CEO of Pelangio. "The high-grade shoot remains open to the north, and mineralization remains open down dip to the south. Future drilling will target these extensions while continuing to pursue resource growth across the broader Manfo project."

2026 Drilling Demonstrates Extensions at Pokukrom East and Sharpens the Focus for Future Drilling

Previously reported drill hole SPDD26-008 was the strongest hole in the 2026 program, returning 26 meters at 2.99 g/t Au including 6 meters at 11.74 g/t Au by fire assay and extending the known resource 150 meters down-plunge to the north.

Drill hole SPDD26-009 intercepted 43 meters of 0.54 g/t Au including 18 meters of 0.82 g/t Au plus 8 meters of 0.80 g/t Au at Pokukrom East.

Pokukrom East deposit remains open to the north and down-dip near the southern end.

A PhotonAssay™ check on the high and medium-grade mineralization encountered in hole SPDD26-008 returned a 14.5% higher gold grade on average than the fire assay results.
