Lode Gold Resources Inc.

Vancouver – October 19, 2026 -- Lode Gold Resources Inc. (TSXV: LOD) has completed six holes of its expanded 20-hole campaign at the Fremont Gold Mine in Mariposa County, California, and has lifted total planned drilling to 4,200 meters (13,780 feet) with ten additional holes.

First two holes already at the laboratory, assays pending

Samples from the first two holes have been submitted for analysis, and the company is awaiting assay results. Sample preparation and submission for the remaining holes will continue as drilling progresses. Lode Gold said it will report results once they have been received, reviewed and validated.

Six completed holes make up half of the 12-hole metallurgical program

The holes, designated PT-J_001 through PT-J_006, have planned target depths of roughly 105 to 171 meters (344 to 562 feet). They were designed with an azimuth of 240° and a dip of -75°.

Vancouver – September 17, 2026 -- Lode Gold Resources Inc. (TSXV: LOD) (OTCQB: LODFF) has expanded its drill program at the 100%-owned Fremont Gold Mine in Mariposa County, California, adding four new drill pads through an amendment to its existing Authorized Use Permit rather than seeking a new regulatory approval.

Four new pads target metallurgy, hydrogeology and untested ground

The expanded scope adds pads PT-J 011, PT-J 012, HGD-002 and HGD-003. Pads PT-J 011 and PT-J 012 will collect PQ-diameter metallurgical core samples to refine recovery mapping and geometallurgical domain modeling ahead of future feasibility work. Pads HGD-002 and HGD-003 are vertical hydrogeological holes designed for in-situ permeability testing and baseline hydrological monitoring required for mine planning.
