(“Goldera” or the “Company”) (TSX Venture Exchange:\nGERA) is pleased to provide an update on its on-going exploration activities\nat the high-grade Egan Gold Project in the world-class Timmins gold camp,\nAbitibi Greenstone Belt. In preparation for the upcoming drill program, these\nsurface programs have been successful at exposing two additional subparallel\nstructures to the high-grade gold E1 area structure, which was the initial\ndiscovery made on the Egan Gold Project. As a result, Goldera has potentially\nexpanded the E1 discovery footprint from a single known structure to a\nbroader, multi-structure gold system.\n\nKey Highlights:\n* The ongoing trenching and mapping program identified two new subparallel\nstructures at the E1 footwall displaying similar alteration, quartz veining\nand structural characteristics known to carry gold mineralization at the E1\ninitial discovery zone, expanding the potential mineralized zone to ~250\nmetres across strike and 450 metres along strike, broadly parallel to the\nsyenite-country rock contact.\n* The August program included 15 trenches, 488 soil samples, 136 rock grab\nsamples and 222 saw-channel samples. Assay results remain pending.\n* Additional stripping planned at E1, with E2 and E3 scheduled for later\nfollow-up work.\n* Drill planning is underway, expected to refine and finalize targets by\nQ4-2026 based on results of the current surface exploration program.\n* Egan is a 111 km² district-scale property ~50 km from Timmins, with four\npreviously identified gold occurrences and historical surface samples up\nto 105 g/t Au at E1. \n“The discovery of two additional structures with geological characteristics\nsimilar to the high-grade E1 occurrence materially expands the exploration\npotential of this part of Egan,” said Charles Tarnocai, CEO & Director of\nGoldera. “Importantly, we are no longer looking at E1 as an isolated surface\noccurrence, we are seeing evidence of a broader structural framework extending\nacross hundreds of metres, with the newly exposed structures potentially\nsharing similar alteration, quartz veining and orientation to the original E1\ndiscovery.”\n\nSurface Stripping Expands the E1 Gold System\n\nGoldera’s ongoing surface stripping and channel sampling program, which\ninitially focused on the E1 area, has identified two additional subparallel\nstructures within the footwall of the high-grade E1 gold occurrence, expanding\nthe area of interest around the Company’s initial discovery. The newly\nexposed structures, identified in trenches TR2 and TR5, display similar\nalteration and quartz-veining characteristics to E1, including intense\niron-carbonate-specularite-silica alteration and pyrite within the\nnortheasterly trending shear zones. The structures occur over an area\nextending approximately 250 meters into the E1 structure footwall and 450\nmeters along strike, and are broadly parallel to the syenite contact within\nthe surrounding country rock mafic volcanic units and gabbro, to the north\n(refer to Figure 2). The true width of the altered structures exposed are up\nto 50cm. As with E1, the wall rocks to these structures host northerly\ntrending quartz veinlet zones. At E1, visible gold is observed in quartz veins\nwith similar orientation and crack-seal textures (refer to Figure 3). This\nsuggests that gold is not only associated with the northeasterly trending\nstructures, but quartz vein arrays in their wall rocks, potentially presenting\na bulk tonnage opportunity. The August exploration program consisted of\nprospecting, soil geochemical sampling, mapping and the excavation of 15\ntrenches. In total, 488 soil samples, 136 rock grab samples and 222 saw\nchannel samples (including QA/QC) were collected and sent for analysis. Sample\nresults are pending from the surface stripping and soil sampling conducted on\nthe property. Following the field crew break concluding at the end of this\nmonth, additional surface stripping is planned to further expose structures in\nthe E1 area where permits allow. Permits are available for stripping at E3\ntarget, and work at E2 is pending a crossing permit for a narrow creek.\nPermits for additional trenching and stripping in the E1 area will also be\nprepared.\n\n\n\nFigure 1: Regional location of Egan Gold Project.\n\n\n\nFigure 2: Trenched and stripped areas in the E1 gold occurrence area. Altered\nstructures similar to that identified at the high-grade gold E1 showing are\nidentified in trenches TR2 and TR5. These structures have a similar trend and\ndip direction, identified in an area of 250m across strike and ~450m along\nstrike. Inferred strike extensions of those structures are shown as dashed red\nlines, with uncertain extents.

The district-scale project hosts an\noverlooked syenite-hosted gold system with both high-grade and bulk-tonnage\nexploration potential. Despite being located close to one of the largest gold\nproducing camps in the world, Egan is a new discovery with very limited past\nwork. Previous work defined four gold occurrences at areas E1, E1S, E2 and E3,\nreturning numerous high-grade gold results in grab samples, up to 105.0 g/t Au\nat E1 area and grab samples recorded up to 44.7 g/t Au and 19.0 g/t Au at E3\narea, demonstrating the presence of robust gold-bearing structures at surface\nacross a broad area. From a regional exploration perspective, Egan is\npositioned within a structurally favorable portion of the Abitibi Greenstone\nBelt, about 8 kilometers south of the Destor–Porcupine deformation zone\n(refer to Figure 1).\n\nThe Egan Gold property is under option agreement with Harfang Exploration\nInc., allowing Goldera to earn up to 80% interest (refer to Fancamp\nExploration Ltd. press release dated November 12, 2025\n(https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=0NfRwx93Bzoj4og5fcVRsgzW8F5sVV0GGx9NKX9Zu_qigmcYO5EmuZjbfWXT50KmO99tzhQPf7URkr12MFFoBoz1-Y0bX6vYT5L8uPV_b_XWQ0zULNS63dGRCVBQ4uTpWuR7yih30C-fU2l04h1JK-p0MFJVKMqf00lJE35Hx0p7yVuG-IfLTrcJJHqgjx_qf6_Y-BVIMolyMeovTcdo9pKEcdiuRxMCirciUpw7wm_O6rW9ZLDJVWbacFWHmSduvxlJ6l5MaBf7rFW7-eoxwp5VIOBNokPtRAyf7x2hhayNoesEA4ESMmlN8o6K9Y5V-Bbwe0sCSoOQVFNCFQlzxupTBqQQjONnqJkBvY4iTTXcQxR5t3QiO7Gtx20ik-YRWjVL44fnHBdd4GKsir9f5EDaIljlPXu9jrrPzR-TcAGrqoNWfLiLrGXNT8byNdFyO7L_YEAD_NCFMbPDuQiy58FafPKRHfbN4D5DG9xZxU-JH9NrRmc9FeU6gq4Oerv5ZwGAXoDv4Y5sCAdnF9O_IMFDyEpNXffjM_NEMGpXCr8GTf0LCFVROctgqqgcHFR3VnuntBAiJWRIiCS2eSC_gu3WFdpSgJRg_wxjdQgV9yvs7nNCHdgRTUQrXItymq2chI-M3JALcWgjyqf838VKItsVsyxvPvMbr49_drkTVt-0NwEYfSTcE8Sh8TFdpyjT)).\nGoldera is currently in the first, 40% earn-in phase of the option agreement,\nan initial phase that should be completed with the program outlined above.\n\nQualified Person\nThe technical information contained in this press release was reviewed and\napproved by François Auclair, PGeo, M.Sc.

These assumptions include, among other\nthings: conditions in general economic and financial markets; the benefits to\nbe derived from the Company’s proposed exploration programs; accuracy of\nassay results; geological interpretations from drilling results, timing and\namount of capital expenditures; performance of available laboratory and other\nrelated services; future operating costs; the historical basis for current\nestimates of potential quantities and grades of target zones; the availability\nof skilled labour and no labour related disruptions at any of the Company's\noperations; no unplanned delays or interruptions in scheduled activities; all\nnecessary permits, licenses and regulatory approvals for operations are\nreceived in a timely manner; the ability to secure and maintain title and\nownership to properties and the surface rights necessary for operations; and\nthe Company’s ability to comply with environmental, health and safety laws.\nThe foregoing list of assumptions is not exhaustive.\n\nThe Company cautions the reader that forward-looking statements involve known\nand unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual\nresults and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied\nby such forward-looking statements contained in this news release and the\nCompany has made assumptions and estimates based on or related to many of\nthese factors. Such factors include, without limitation: the timing and\ncontent of work programs; results of exploration activities and development of\nmineral properties; the interpretation and uncertainties of drilling results\nand other geological data; receipt, maintenance and security of permits and\nmineral property titles; environmental and other regulatory risks; project\ncosts overruns or unanticipated costs and expenses; availability of funds;\nchanges in commodity prices; changes in interest rates; failure to delineate\npotential quantities and grades of the target zones based on historical data;\nrisks relating to unanticipated operational difficulties (including failure of\nequipment or processes to operate in accordance with specifications or\nexpectations, cost escalation, unavailability of materials and equipment,\ngovernment action or delays in the receipt of government or regulatory\napprovals, industrial disturbances or other job actions, and unanticipated\nevents related to health, safety and environmental matters); risks relating to\nadverse weather conditions; political risk and social unrest; general market\nand industry conditions; and those factors identified under the caption\n“Risks Factors” in the Company’s Form 2B Listing Application dated July\n29, 2026.\n\nForward-looking statements are based on the expectations and opinions of the\nCompany’s management on the date the statements are made. The assumptions\nused in the preparation of such statements, although considered reasonable at\nthe time of preparation, may prove to be imprecise and, as such, readers are\ncautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements,\nwhich speak only as of the date the statements were made. The Company\nundertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements\nincluded in this news release if these beliefs, estimates and opinions or\nother circumstances should change, except as otherwise required by applicable\nlaw.\n\nNeither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that\nterm is defined in policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts\nresponsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this news release.\n\nFigures accompanying this announcement are available at:\nhttps://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/d904ae99-92b8-4f50-be37-4be8c5602d35\nhttps://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/6334ffc8-7847-4be5-a376-a46d9a96ac3a\nhttps://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/10e4ae4d-afe7-4e9e-be78-6e8d71c05d07\n\n(https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/fc3ecfea-614b-4e9d-84e3-e1d1cd846db9)\nFigure 1 \n(https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/d904ae99-92b8-4f50-be37-4be8c5602d35/en)\nRegional location of Egan Gold Project.Figure 2 \n(https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/6334ffc8-7847-4be5-a376-a46d9a96ac3a/en)\nTrenched and stripped areas in the E1 gold occurrence area.
