Buddingtonite is widely recognised as a\npotential pathfinder mineral associated with concealed hydrothermal gold\nsystems and may act as a vector towards additional gold mineralisation at\ndepth.\n\n \n\nThe drill holes also intersected highly encouraging gold mineralisation across\nmultiple zones. CGC-25-002 intersected 17 separate gold-bearing zones,\nhighlighted by an interval of 1.0m at 16.7 g/t Au from 37.1m depth, a\nsubstantial 3.5m at 4.8 g/t Au from 123.5m (including a high-grade\nsub-interval of 0.5m at 11.2 g/t Au), and 2.1m at 4.2 g/t Au from 220.1m\n(including 0.7m at 9.6 g/t Au). CGC-25-003, drilled approximately 50 metres to\nthe north at a steeper inclination, intersected six further gold-bearing\nzones, confirming the lateral continuity of mineralisation along strike.\n\n \n\nJohn Sherman, Chairman, commented:  \n\n\"These latest drill results continue to demonstrate the significant gold\nendowment at Clontibret while also highlighting the growing geological\npotential of the wider system.\n\n \n\nThe identification of a substantial alteration zone, interpreted as\nBuddingtonite-bearing, is particularly encouraging as this type of alteration\ncan be associated with major hydrothermal gold systems worldwide.\n\n \n\nWe believe these results provide important new geological insights which may\nassist in targeting further mineralisation as exploration advances.\"\n\n\nCurrent Clontibret Drilling Programme\n\n \n\nThe ongoing five hole drilling programme is set out below.   \n The results of CGC-25-001 were announced by the Company on 2 nd \n March 2026 showing the deepest gold mineralisation intersected to date\nat Clontibret.\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\nAlteration Zone\n\n \n\nThe alteration zone identified in both drill holes (CGC-25-002 and CGC-25-003)\nhas a strike orientation similar to the known gold lodes, at approximately 330\ndegrees azimuth. Hyperspectral core scanning undertaken on samples from the\nalteration zone identified a primary Buddingtonite spectral response at\n2116nm. Supporting portable XRF and multi-element geochemical analyses\nindicate a strong potassium alteration signature characterised by elevated\npotassium and rubidium values together with depleted magnesium and calcium.\n\n \n\nBuddingtonite forms when hot, potassium and ammonium-rich fluids react with\nhost rock as they migrate upwards through faults and fractures. In gold\nsystems worldwide, it is commonly developed in the alteration \"halo\"\nsurrounding and overlying ore-grade mineralisation, marking the pathway the\ngold-bearing fluids travelled. The combined hyperspectral, portable XRF and\ngeochemical signature observed at Clontibret is characteristic of this\nfluid-rock interaction and supports the interpretation that the drill holes\nhave intersected part of a larger hydrothermal system. The Company believes\nthe identification of this alteration system may provide an important\nvectoring tool for future exploration targeting within the Clontibret gold\nsystem and particularly at depth and towards the northern fault.\n\n \n\nFurther announcements will be made as the drilling programme progresses.\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\nSamples identified for hyperspectral scanning\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\nDrill results showing intersections of gold mineralisation\n\n \n\nDrill Hole CGC-25-002\n\nDrill hole CGC-25-002 intersected 17 separate gold zones and extensive\nalteration.
