Dryden Gold Intercepts 55.34 g/t Gold over 3.50 Meters Including 379.00 g/t Gold over 0.50 Meters from the Gap Hole at Gold Rock

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 5, 2025) - Dryden Gold Corp. (TSXV: DRY) (OTCQB: DRYGF) (FSE: X7W) ("Dryden Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to report results from hole DGR-25-018 (the "Gap Hole"). This hole is the Company's most significant test of the Gold Rock Target Area. The hole was designed to test all the stacked mineralized gold structures across the 430-meter area between the Big Master and the Elora Gold Systems.

Drill Highlights:

• The Gap Hole intersected a total of 9 stacked gold mineralized structures over a total drill length of 540 meters across the Gold Rock Target Area (Figure 1)

• High-grade intercept of 55.34 g/t gold over 3.50 meters including 379.00 g/t gold over 0.50 meters at the Jubilee Hanging Wall

• Near-surface intercept of 0.93 g/t gold over 9.00 meters at Big Master

Trey Wasser, CEO of Dryden Gold Corp, stated, "We are very pleased with these exciting results from the Gap Hole. This hole confirms 9 gold mineralized structures and begins to show our shareholders a much fuller picture of what Dryden Gold is building in the Gold Rock Target Area. Having already drilled a kilometer of strike length on the Elora Gold System, the Gap Hole has now revealed a wider and much more robust gold mineralized system with open pit potential."

Elora Gold System
The Company has been able to define multiple zones along the hanging wall of the Elora Gold System (Figures 1 & 2). The Gap Hole intersected three individual mineralized structures in the hanging wall at Jubilee. The geology team has been consulting with expert structural geologists to better model and predict the high-grade mineralization which appears to have three distinct geometries. The first type is shear-parallel mineralized structures that appear to be continuous on strike, the second style appears to be related to folding and the third style seems to be en-echelon structures.

The best intercept, 55.34 g/t gold over 3.50 meters including 379.00 g/t gold over 0.50 meters from the Gap Hole, correlates to recent results from holes DGR-25-012 and DGR-24-013 which the team interprets as a shear parallel type of mineralization. An intercept of 5.08 g/t gold over 3.00 meters on the Gap Hole also appears to be hosted by shear parallel mineralized structure. This type of mineralization is presumed to be continuous on strike and is being targeted further to the northeast from Pearl to Laurentian. The Company's recent digitization of historical mine workings indicates that the Laurentian Mine production was primarily in one of these hanging wall mineralized structures. Structural work will continue to identify the higher-grade portions of these shear-parallel mineralized structures and how to efficiently target them.

The first significant hanging wall intercept of 301.67 g/t gold over 3.90 meters including 1,930 g/t gold over 0.60 meters (May 7, 2025) is interpreted to be part of a fold-type high-grade mineralization. The two hanging-wall mineralized structures closest to the Jubilee Zone show evidence of folding and en-echelon type geometries which explains the discontinuous mineralization. Gold Rock is located on the limb of a fold, the Manitou Anticline. With this positioning it is anticipated that with further refinement of the geological model isoclinal folding and possible sheath folding could be revealed. The team continues to work on modeling the lithological folding along the Manitou Anticline as it is clearly one of the factors controlling high-grade gold mineralization.

Big Master Gold System
The hole tested the southern extension of Big Master 130 meters southeast of the historical Big Master Mine. The first target was following up on a wide low-grade intercept of 0.74 g/t gold over 10.50 meters in hole KW-24-013 (April 24, 2024) and the Gap Hole successfully intercepted 0.93 g/t gold over 9.00 meters extending the mineralization further to the southwest along strike of Big Master. The new area of mineralization grading 0.19 g/t gold over 4.00 meters demonstrates potential for additional parallel structures in areas with limited to no drilling. The potential exists for additional stacked mineralized structures east of Spyglass, for another 150 meters, to the historic Paymaster Mine (Figure 2).

Qualified Person
The technical disclosure in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Maura J. Kolb, M.Sc., P.Geo., President of Dryden Gold and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators.

Analytical Laboratory and QA/QC Procedures
The Company is drilling NQ size core. Samples are cut in half, with half going to the lab for analysis and half kept as a record. True thickness/widths of the mineralization is unknown, result intervals are reported as the drilled core lengths unless otherwise stated. All sampling completed by Dryden Gold Corp. within its exploration programs is subject to a Company standard of internal quality control and quality assurance (QA/QC) programs which include the insertion of certified reference materials, blank materials, and a level of duplicate analysis. Drill samples from the 2024 and 2025 program were sent to Activation Laboratories, with sample preparation and analysis in Dryden, where they were processed for gold analysis by 50-gram fire assay with an atomic absorption finish and over limits determined by Fire Assay with a gravimetric finish. Select samples were analyzed using metallic screens. Activation Laboratories systems conform to requirements of ISO/IEC Standard 17025 guidelines and meets assay requirements outlined for NI 43-101.
