Banyan Gold provides summary of 2025 diamond drill program for AurMac

Banyan Gold (BYAGF) released the final drill results and provide a comprehensive summary of the 2025 AurMac delineation drill program. The 42,000 metres program included 178 drillholes at the AurMac Project, with the primary goal of the 2025 drill program to maximize economic potential for the upcoming Preliminary Economic Assessment by targeting high-grade domain and mineralized envelope extensions, and waste block conversion. Drilling took place from March 27, 2026, to November 10, 2026. Drill results throughout AurMac consistently intersected high-grade gold mineralization, including well mineralized sheeted quartz vein domains hosting Bismuth-sulphosalts and visible gold throughout the core of the Powerline Deposit. Very high-grade gold mineralization associated with sulphide replacement and skarn-style mineralization in the Airstrip Deposit were intersected in a core high-grade contact zone between calcareous metasedimentary rocks and a felsic aplite dyke. These findings follow up on drilling conducted in 2024. Assay highlights from this release: AX-25-692: 9.12 g/t Au over 1.5m within 0.78 g/t Au over 21.6m AND 0.64 g.t Au over 15.6m; AX-25-743: 0.90 g/t Au over 13.3m within 0.51 g/t Au over 25.9m; AX-25-744: 2.59 g/t Au over 6.1m within 0.74 g/t Au over 26.3m; AX-25-760: 1.00 g/t Au over 4.0m AND 0.72 g/t Au over 11.4m all within 0.43 g/t Au over 58.4m AND 6.56 g/t Au over 2.5m within 0.57 g/t Au over 42.3m; AX-25-776: 0.82 g.t Au over 6.6m within 0.47 g/t au over 14.2m; AX-25-790: 0.78 g/t Au over 16.8m within 0.5 g/t Au over 44.0m, including high grade of 17.34g/t Au over 0.4m. “We are looking forward to incorporating the 2025 drill results into our upcoming Mineral Resource Update and PEA, marking our first opportunity to speak about the economics of the AurMac Project,” stated Tara Christie, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The PEA will focus on the gold potential, while ongoing drilling of the exciting silver intersections and metallurgical work throughout 2026 will further define the silver economics, potentially contributing to a future economic study.”
