Dryden Gold intersects 7.88 g/t Au over 12.70 m at Gold Rock

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 23, 2026) - Dryden Gold Corp. (TSXV: DRY) (OTCQX: DRYGF) (FSE: X7W) (" Dryden Gold " or the " Company ") is pleased to announce that drill hole DGR-058 returned a high-grade intercept of 7.88 g/t gold over 12.70 meters, including 46.05 g/t gold over 1.90 meters. This hole was drilled along strike between high-grade intercepts at Jubilee and Pearl, at approximately 65 meters true depth (Figure 1). This near-surface 100-gram meter hole confirms the continuity of high-grade gold over 350 meters strike-length along the Elora structure.

The Company mobilized a second drill rig in July to expand the footprint and test down-plunge at Gold Rock. Initial deeper drilling, reported on August 31, 2026 , intersected 9.40 g/t gold over 4.60 meters at 330 meters true depth and nearly doubled the down-plunge extent at Spyglass on the sub-parallel BM2 Trend. DGR-075 returned grade of 1.35 g/t gold over 12.0 meters including 10.5 g/t gold over 0.5 meters and 15.6 g/t gold over 0.5 meters down plunge on BM1, testing Barrelman at approximately 300 meters true depth. Like BM2 and Elora, BM1 continues to show continuity over 1.5 kilometers strike with multiple high-grade zones extending down-plunge (Figure 1).

The 2025-2026 drill programs have now grown Gold Rock from its original three mineralized structures with a single high-grade zone to 15 mineralized structures with 10 high-grade zones . The mineralized structures are showing high-grade intercepts with good width within lower-grade gold halos. Further testing is required to fully define the extents of all the newly discovered mineralized structures. New structural data supports two plunges controlling the high-grade mineralization at Gold Rock with additional drill holes pending that test the down-plunge targets.
