High-Grade Intersections from Caprock's 2026 Two-Phase Deep Drill Program at Destiny

Drill hole DES-26-183 returned 2.84 g/t Au over 23.2 metres, including a higher-grade interval of 38.48 g/t Au over 1.6 metres. Drill hole DES-26-184W1 intersected 8.32 g/t Au over 2.6 metres and 6.43 g/t Au over 1.8 metres, while DES-26-182 returned 5.18 g/t Au over 1.5 metres and DES-26-184 intersected 4.58 g/t Au over 2.5 metres and 2.68 g/t Au over 3.9 metres. The release states these results support the company's thesis on Destiny's gold potential.

Shallow Drill Program Completed and Assays Pending at the Destiny Open-Pit Zone

Alongside its deep drilling, Caprock completed an initial shallow drill program consisting of three NQ-sized diamond drill holes totalling approximately 1,007 metres. The holes were designed to fill a gap in drilling within the open-pit constrained Mineral Resource Estimate area. Assay results from this program had not been received at the time of the announcement and the company indicated they would be published in the coming weeks. The existing MRE, prepared by Todd McCracken, P.Geo, of BBA E&C Inc. and completed in March 2025, outlines 196,549 Indicated ounces and 794,886 Inferred ounces of gold.

Caprock Secures Permits for 2027 Winter Drill Campaign Aimed at MRE Expansion

Caprock has obtained all required permits for its planned 2027 winter drilling program. The company intends to conduct at least one, and potentially two, drill campaigns each consisting of 10 to 12 short drill holes. The first campaign targets westward strike expansion of the MRE, while a potential second campaign would focus on eastward expansion. An updated Mineral Resource Estimate is planned for publication in spring 2027 following completion of winter drilling. The technical content has been reviewed and approved by Qualified Person Suzie Tremblay, P.Geo, Vice President at Explo-Logik.
