(CSE:RGR)(OTCQB:RGRLF) (\"Rio Grande\" or \"RIO\"\nthe \"Company\"), is pleased to announce results from its recently completed\nPhase Two surface sampling and structural mapping program (see news release\ndated May 6, 2026) at its 100%-owned Winston Gold-Silver Project (\"Winston\" or\nthe \"Project\") in New Mexico. The program returned multiple high-grade gold\nand silver results from the Poverty Creek area (see Figure 1), including\nchannel samples grading up to 46.3 g/t gold and 1,030 g/t silver. The field\nprogram was completed on behalf of Rio Grande by Dahrouge Geological\nConsulting USA Ltd. (\"Dahrouge\") over approximately seven days during May 2026\nand included detailed structural mapping together with systematic channel and\nrock chip sampling over priority target areas on the Project. Collectively,\nthe results further support the interpretation of multiple mineralized\nstructural corridors identified through previous exploration, demonstrating\nencouraging potential for subsurface continuity and represents compelling\ntargets in anticipation for Rio's Phase 1 drill program.\n(https://pr.report/ncum)\nFigure 1. North West Section of Rio Grande Claim Block (Poverty Creek)\n\nRio Grande's CEO Jason Barnard commented: \"This program has significantly\nincreased our confidence in Winston. One of the most important outcomes of\nthis program wasn't simply the high-grade results, it was the ability to trace\nmultiple mineralized vein systems across Poverty Creek. By integrating\ndetailed structural mapping with systematic sampling, we've significantly\nimproved our understanding of the orientation and continuity of these vein\ncorridors, providing greater confidence as we advance into our inaugural drill\nprogram. Winston continues to demonstrate the characteristics we look for in a\nhigh-grade epithermal system, and we're excited to take the next step in\nunlocking its potential through drilling.\"\n\nGeological Interpretation\n\nChannel sampling of exposed in situ quartz veins returned some of the highest\ngrades recorded during the May 2026 field program, including 46.3 g/t gold and\n1,030 g/t silver from Channel D, 15.7 g/t gold from Channel D2, and 5.93 g/t\ngold and 190 g/t silver from Channel C. Unlike selectively collected grab\nsamples, channel samples are collected systematically across exposed\nmineralized veins over measured intervals, providing a more representative\nassessment of the grade distribution and continuity of the exposed\nmineralization.\n\nWhen integrated with detailed structural mapping, the channel sampling\nresults, together with widespread high-grade rock chip and grab sample\nresults, defined multiple northeast-, southeast- and southwest-trending\nmineralized structural corridors across the Poverty Creek target area. As\nillustrated in Figure 2, the integration of the 2025 (see news release dated\nJune 18(th), 2025) and 2026 surface sampling programs has significantly\nrefined the Company's understanding of the orientation, geometry and\ncontinuity of the interpreted vein systems. This integrated geological\ninterpretation provided Dahrouge with increased confidence in the orientation,\ngeometry and continuity of the mapped vein systems and enabled the Company to\nfinalize several of its initial Phase 1 drill pad locations while continuing\nto optimize additional drill locations across other priority target areas.\n(https://pr.report/ncun)\nFigure 2. Mineralization Trends of The Poverty Creek Area Interpreted From\nMapped and Sampled Quartz Vein Exposures\n\nAssay Results\n\nRepresentative assay results are shown in Figure 3 and demonstrate that\nsignificant gold and silver mineralization occurs along several of these\ninterpreted vein systems on both sides of Highway 59. Highlights included 67.1\ng/t gold from a grab sample, 26.1 g/t and 24.4 g/t gold from rock chip\nsamples, together with silver values of up to 759 g/t, 491 g/t and 470 g/t.\nThe broad distribution of high-grade samples across multiple structural\ncorridors further supports the scale and prospectivity of the Poverty Creek\ntarget area.
