Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 27, 2025) - Dryden Gold Corp. (TSXV: DRY) (OTCQB: DRYGF) ("Dryden Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that Visible Gold ("VG") was observed on Dryden Gold's initial drill program at the historical Laurentian Mine Target ("Laurentian") and the Intersection Target on the Elora Gold System. Laurentian is approximately one kilometer north of the Jubilee Target ("Jubilee") where the Company recently released assay results of 301.67 g/t over 3.90 meters including 1,930 g/t over 0.60 meters in a newly discovered hanging wall structure. The VG intersected at Laurentian was on a new parallel mineralized hanging wall structure. At the new Intersection Target, 200 meters northeast of Jubilee, VG was intersected before the main target in a mineralized footwall structure. This confirms new target potential on parallel high-grade structures along a one-kilometer strike at the Elora Gold System. Both holes have been submitted to the lab and results are expected in the coming weeks.
Trey Wasser, CEO of Dryden Gold states "I feel that finding visible gold in these two first pass exploration targets, over a one-kilometer strike length, confirms that our Team's structural interpretation has reached a real breakthrough. Based on our mapping and interpretation, the newly identified gold bearing deformation event (D3) intersects the Elora and Big Master Gold Systems and appears to have enriched several parallel mineralized structures. This has allowed the Team to update the drill plan and really vector in on high-grade targets. This D3 fault structure is prevalent throughout the Gold Rock Camp. So, as we now prepare to test the Mud Lake Area, which is located two kilometers north of Laurentian, we are rapidly gaining confidence in our ability to continue to identify value targets and make new discoveries to create shareholder value."

A new phase of drilling at Jubilee has begun and will focus on confirmation of the plunge of the main zone as well as follow-up of the newly discovered HW Zone. These results will be processed throughout the month of June. The Company would like to clarify that turnaround time for logging the oriented core and receiving lab results, on these deeper drill holes, is now running approximately 8-10 weeks. Since drilling started on this phase of the program, the Company has completed 6,818 meters of drilling on the Elora Gold System with 4,416 meters pending assay results.

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.
