Independence Gold Provides Update on Summer Exploration Program at 3Ts Project, BC

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 25, 2025) - Independence Gold Corp. (TSXV: IGO) (OTCQB: IEGCF) ("Independence" or "the Company") is pleased to provide an update on the ongoing 2025 summer exploration program at the 3Ts Project located in central British Columbia. The program is focused on advancing high-priority gold-silver and critical mineral targets through geophysical surveying, soil sampling and detailed geological mapping. Located approximately 185 kilometres southwest of Prince George, British Columbia, the 3Ts Project comprises thirty-one mineral claims covering approximately 35,486 hectares in the Nechako Plateau region. The project lies 16 km southwest of Artemis Gold Inc.'s Blackwater Mine and hosts a low-sulphidation epithermal quartz-carbonate vein district within which at least nineteen known mineralized veins, ranging from 50 to over 1,100 metres in strike length and true widths of up to 32 m have been identified.

Induced Polarization (IP) Geophysical Survey
The Company has successfully completed a 16 line-kilometre IP geophysical survey covering the eastern portion of the 3Ts Project, including the Ranger, Cardiff, Layman and Dobby vein systems. The survey was conducted by Dias Geophysical Limited of Saskatoon, SK, and the data has now been delivered for interpretation. The results will be integrated with geological and geochemical data to refine drill targets for future programs.

Soil Sampling Program
Concurrent with the IP survey, a soil sampling program has commenced over the same IP grid area as well as over several additional target areas, including:

• area north of the Tommy Vein;
• the Ootsa target area;
• two newly identified geophysical anomalies located approximately 10 km south of the Tommy Vein System.

These southern anomalies are interpreted as possible magma upwelling zones, each coincident with a gold-silver and/or copper sediment anomaly. To date, 1,100 of the planned 2,100 soil samples have been collected. Samples are being shipped to SGS Natural Resources Canada ("SGS") labs in Burnaby for analysis using Mobile Metal Ion ("MMI") methods-a geochemical technique that measures metal ions that have migrated upward from buried mineralization, allowing for the detection of subtle gold, silver and critical mineral anomalies even under thick glacial cover.

Geological Mapping and Sampling
Extensive geological mapping and rock sampling are ongoing across all key areas of the project. This work is aimed at enhancing the Company's understanding of mineralization styles and structural controls on the property and will directly aid in future drill planning.

Environmental Baseline Studies
Baseline environmental monitoring continues across the property, including wildlife monitoring with trail cameras, and water sampling. This work is being carried out by Avison Management of Vanderhoof, BC, to ensure environmental best practices and support future permitting requirements.

Randy Turner, President & CEO of the Company, commented, "We are very pleased with how the summer exploration program is progressing, with a number of new targets identified for follow-up and the advancement of the project."
