Dryden Gold More Than Triples the Scale of the Elora Gold System with its 2025 Exploration Program

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 12, 2025) - Dryden Gold Corp. (TSXV: DRY) (OTCQB: DRYGF) (FSE: X7W) ("Dryden Gold" or the "Company") reports the final results from its 2025 drill program along the rapidly expanding, open-ended, high grade Elora Gold System. During 2025, the Company has more than tripled the size of the principal structure, the Elora Shear zone, to over 800 metres along strike. The most recent results show good continuity between the historic Jubilee and Pearl occurrences (Figure 1). The Elora Gold System remains open at depth, with the vast majority of drill holes still above the 200-meter vertical level. In addition, the 2025 program discovered, and begun to outline, several sub-parallel, gold bearing structures in the hanging wall ("HW") to the Elora Shear (Figure 2). In near-surface drilling, holes DGR-25-029 and DGR-25-030A returned the widest intervals to date on both the HW2 and HW3 structures while drill hole DGR-25-028 intercepted the widest interval to date on the Elora Shear (Table 1).

Overall, the program has been a significant success and sets the stage for rapid growth in the Gold Rock Target Area with its fully funded 2026 exploration program.

Trey Wasser, CEO of Dryden Gold states, "The most important of our four goals for the 2025 exploration program was to expand the size of the Elora Gold System. From this spring's high-grade discovery at Pearl, to the discovery of high-grade gold mineralization in the new Hanging Wall structures and with the continuity of the main Elora Shear Zone now being demonstrated, we are in a great position as we lay out our 2026 drill program at Gold Rock. Figure 1 clearly demonstrates this significant progress and outlines a continuous zone of gold mineralization for over 600 metres which remains open for expansion. Combined with the promising early-stage discoveries at Sherridon & Hyndman, we have now delivered on three of our four 2025 goals. We have recently completed initial drill testing of our Mug Lake target (assays pending) with the objective of outlining the broader potential of the greater Gold Rock Camp, which was our fourth goal for 2025."

Between Pearl and Laurentian, DGR-25-020 intersected five gold mineralized structures, at shallow depths. However, there is a narrowing of the structures and lower grades north of Pearl that is believed to be related to faults or other structural factors. Recently drilled hole DGR-25-031 drill tested across the Elora Gold System and the Big Master Gold System from Pearl to north of Treasure. This hole encountered a significant fault structure which the geology team believes is playing a role in this narrowing of the mineralized structures. Further geological work is underway to improve targeting at the northern portion of the Gold Rock Target Area.

Kolb, M.Sc., P.Geo., President of Dryden Gold and a "qualified person" within the meaning defined by National Instrument 43-101. Verification included examination of the drill core, core photos, the assay data and related databases.

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.
