Banyan Gold intersects 1.05 g/t Au over 52.8 m at Powerline

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / September 17, 2026 / Banyan Gold Corp . (the " Company " or " Banyan ") ( TSXV:BYN )( OTCQB:BYAGF ) is pleased to report new results from western portions of the Powerline Deposit (" Powerline "), AurMac Project (" AurMac "), Yukon, Canada. Drillhole AX-26-892B intersected 1.05 g/t gold ("Au") over 52.8 metres ("m") and drillhole AX-26-891 intersected 149.14 g/t Au over 0.4 m, within a wider interval of 0.56 g/t Au over 169.2 m. The results demonstrate the potential to improve grade and continuity in known mineralized domains on the margins of Powerline's near-surface higher-grade cores. The drilling forms part of Banyan's ongoing 2026 drill program focused on resource conversion, expansion and delineation of higher-grade mineralized domains within and adjacent to the current Mineral Resource.

Highlights from Powerline :

AX-26-873 - 1.18 g/t Au over 8.3 m , within 0.51 g/t Au over 50.5 m

AX-26-876 - 1.15 g/t Au over 13.9 m within 0.44 g/t Au over 51.5 m, including 16.5 g/t Au over 0.3 m

AX-26-878 - 1.37 g/t Au over 11.8m , including high-grade of 7.37 g/t Au over 0.5m and 9.78 g/t Au over 1.0 m

AX-26-891 - 149.14 g/t Au over 0.4m and 0.63 g/t Au over 19.9 m, all within 0.56 g/t Au over 169.2m

For context, the 0.56 g/t Au over 169.2 m composite in AX-26-891 is materially influenced by the 149.14 g/t Au over 0.4 m interval. Excluding that interval, the remaining 168.8 m averages approximately 0.21 g/t Au with the lower mineralized zone of 0.63 g/t Au over 19.9m. High-densities of extensional quartz veins are present throughout the full interval.

AX-26-892B - 1.05 g/t Au over 52.8 m , within 0.87 g/t Au over 69.7 m

AX-26-895 - 1.01 g/t Au over 17.2 m within 0.73 g/t Au over 26.6 m; includes high-grade of 6.72 g/t Au over 0.6 m and 10.30 g/t Au over 0.5 m
