Harari has been appointed as a\ndirector of the Company.

As previously disclosed in the Company’s news\nrelease dated September 17, 2026, the Company had intended to appoint Mr.\nHarari as President effective upon closing. The Investor Rights Agreement no\nlonger provides for that appointment, and, while Mr. Harari has not been\nappointed as President at this time, he may be appointed President in the\nfuture.\n\nMr. Harari is the founder of Canalis Capital, a merchant bank focused on the\nresource sector and currently serves as President and director of Argentina\nMetals Corp.

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a\nsolicitation of an offer to buy any securities in any jurisdiction.\n\nFour insiders of the Company intend to subscribe for 8,700,000 FT Shares and\n3,000,000 HD Shares for an aggregate of $585,000 on the closing of the final\ntranche. The insider private placements are exempt from the valuation and\nminority shareholder approval requirements of Multilateral Instrument 61-101\n(“MI 61-101”) by virtue of the exemptions contained in sections 5.5(a) and\n5.7(1) (a) of MI 61-101 in that the fair market value of the consideration for\nthe securities of the Company which will be issued to the insiders will not\nexceed 25% of its market capitalization.\n\nAbout Labrador Gold\n\nLabrador Gold is a Canadian-based hybrid mining and investment issuer focused\non the acquisition and exploration of prospective mineral projects in Canada\nand on strategic investments in mining companies and assets that the Company\nbelieves have the potential to generate long-term value.\n\nThe Mariposa project covers 16,000 ha in the White Gold District and is 40\nkilometres southeast of the White Gold Project and 30 kilometres\neast-northeast of Fuerte’s Coffee gold project. Mariposa shares many\ngeological similarities to both the Golden Saddle (part of the White Gold\nProject) and Coffee gold deposits including host lithologies, mineralization\nstyle and structural control. The property occurs at the headwaters of\nsignificant placer gold producing creeks with historic placer production of\n73,000 oz from Scroggie Creek (3) indicative of significant bedrock gold\nmineralization yet to be fully defined. Six significant gold occurrences have\nbeen delineated by over 13,000 soil samples to date, including the most\nadvanced Skookum Main and Skookum West prospects.\n\nThe Watson Project, a joint venture with Nemo Resources Inc., represents the\nlargest landholding in the Fort Hope Greenstone Belt which is significantly\nunderexplored compared to other greenstone belts (e.g. Red Lake and Pickle\nLake) in northwestern Ontario. While the exploration focus will be on gold,\nthe Watson project also hosts significant potential for critical minerals\n(e.g. antimony, nickel, copper and zinc). The proposed road to the Ring of\nFire, expected to begin construction in mid-2026, runs through the Watson\nproperty and, once complete, will significantly reduce exploration and\ndevelopment costs.\n\nThe Hopedale property covers much of the Archean-age Florence Lake greenstone\nbelt, which extends over 60 kilometers. While typical of greenstone belts\nglobally, the area has been underexplored. LabGold’s work to date has\nidentified gold anomalies in rocks, soils, and lake sediments across a\nthree-kilometer section of the northern portion of the belt. Five gold\noccurrences lie along this trend, four of which were discovered by LabGold.\nAdditional anomalous gold values occur across approximately 40 kilometers of\nthe southern portion of the belt. Recent exploration has also demonstrated\npotential for copper, nickel, and cobalt.\n\nThe Borden Lake project near Chapleau, Ontario lies immediately southeast of\nDiscovery Silver Corp’s Borden gold mine. Past exploration by LabGold\nidentified two anomalous gold zones based on geochemistry and geophysics.\n\nThe Company has 213,485,788 common shares issued and outstanding and trades on\nthe TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol LAB.\n\nFor more information, please contact:\n\nRoger Moss, President and CEO\n\nTel: 416-704-8291\n\nWebsite: www.labradorgold.com\n\nX: @LabGoldCorp\n\nNeither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that\nterm is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts\nresponsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.\n\nForward-Looking Statements\n\nThis news release contains forward-looking statements and forward-looking\ninformation (collectively, “forward-looking statements”) within the\nmeaning of applicable Canadian securities laws.
