Toogood Gold Corp. Options Golden Nugget Property, Expanding Contiguous and Highly Prospective Toogood Gold Project in Newfoundland

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 1, 2025) - Toogood Gold Corp. (TSXV: TGC) ("Toogood" or the "Company") today announced that it has acquired an option to acquire a 100% interest the Golden Nugget Property ("Golden Nugget"), a highly prospective group of claims contiguous to the Company's flagship Toogood Gold Project, located on New World Island, Newfoundland, Canada.

Key Point Summary

• Golden Nugget consists of a 3,000-hectare land package covering over 12 kilometres of underexplored fertile gold trend (Figure 1);
• Secures an additional >10 km of Mélange Contact ("Mélange"), which now totals >15 km of prospective strike property-wide (Figure 2);
• Notably, an 8.5-km-long trend of strongly anomalous coastline (Figure 3) hosts a subset of:
  • 148 historical rock samples which grade ≥1 g/t Au (average ~7 g/t Au)
  • 87% (n = 129) of these samples are reported as outcrop-sourced
  • Includes a 6.5-km-long trend hosting 36 historical rock samples grading ≥5 g/t Au (average ~26 g/t Au), with 83% (n = 30) reported as outcrop-sourced;
• High-grade gold (>5 g/t) occurs in all rock groups with historical channel samples having returned values of 50.2 g/t gold over 1.1 m, 87 g/t over 0.8 m and 29.2 g/t over 2.5 m;
• A comprehensive coastline rock sampling and mapping program to verify historical results is to commence in mid-October.

"The Golden Nugget acquisition represents a compelling opportunity for Toogood, adding 3000 hectares and >12 kilometers of highly prospective strike along a highly underexplored, fertile gold trend," said Colin Smith, CEO of Toogood Gold Corp. "Of particular significance is the 8.5-kilometer-long stretch of coastline where historical rock sampling consistently returned high- to bonanza-grade gold directly from outcrop. It is extremely rare to see such a continuous, high-grade trend at surface that is devoid of extensive modern-day exploration. We look forward to launching our October rock sampling and mapping program to validate these exceptional results, and lay the groundwork for potential future drilling."
