Golden Endurance Company (TSXV: edge) (Otkbk: Indjf) (FSE: 3EG) (“a company“”) is pleased to announce the start of drilling at the Reliance Gold project, which is 100% owned by it (“””project“) in southern British Columbia. The road access project is located 4 km (“”)how much“) East of Gold Bridge at the historic Bridge River Mining Camp, hosts an inferred mineral resource estimate of 19.6 million tons Rated 2.30 grams per ton (“gpt”) Aul 1.45 million ounces contain gold ((Mine risk education“) (See MRE disclaimer below).
The fully funded program began on May 1st at a minimum 8000 meters (“m”) A second drilling rig is currently being prepared to accelerate the programme. Additional counters will be added to the planned program depending on the results. The initial drilling program for Phase 1 aims to upgrade near-surface and hole-bound mine risk education to the indicated category; Expanding mineralization within the crust of the MRE hole; and testing deeper, high-quality extensions that could support further growth of underground MRE.
The first drill hole, DDH26-128, is currently underway as the southern expansion of the Eagle Zone mine hazard restricted area is being tested. The hole is being tested 25 meters from the returned hole DDH22-027 8.31 Gb Au at 11.9 metres Within a wider period of 4.16 Gb Au over 30.0 metres. Hole DDH26-128 has already intersected a 10m mineralized interval downstream of the Royal Shear Fault at a depth of 74m downhole and continues to a target depth of 190m to test the expected extension of Eagle Zone mineralization at depth.
In the Imperial Zone, the second drilling rig will complete a series of holes designed to expand underground MRE that includes the Imperial and Lower Mineralized Horizons. The planned first hole will be tested 40 meters into the Imperial Horizon, where drill hole DDH24-109 has been returned. 6.74 Gb Au at 21.8 metresincluded 10.11 Gb Au at 12.4 metres. The same hole will continue to a depth of approximately 575 meters to test 100 steps into the lower Imperial horizon, where hole DDH24-106 has returned. 7.18 Gb Au at 8.3 metres Within a wider period of time than 4.47 Gb Au at 15.3 metres. These initial drill holes are intended to evaluate the high-grade underground potential of the Imperial MRE area.
The Reliance Gold Project has been interpreted to host a shallow-level (Epizonal) orogenic gold system. Gold mineralization is directly related to varying amounts, although generally low concentrations of sulphides, including pyrite, arsenopyrite and stibnite. These occur as replacements for sulfides and multigenerational breccia, which are frequently associated with disseminated siliciclastic, quartz stock and/or quartz breccia fill. The geology and drilling results to date support the company’s view that the project has near-surface and underground growth potential.
MRE and Qualified Person Disclaimer
A Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) has been prepared for Endurance Gold Corp. By Ginto Consulting Ltd. In accordance with NI 43-101 – Disclosure Standards for Mineral Projects as of 8 January 2026. Please see Technical Report NI 43-101 dated 10 March 2026 for additional mine risk disclosure. The report is entitled “NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimation and Technical Report on the Reliance Gold Project, British Columbia, Canada“, available on SEDAR+ under the company profile and on the company’s website.
This initial MRE is defined by 216 drill holes and 49 surface trenches along 1.5 km of the Royal Shear over 3 km in length. The MRE consists of three mineralized zones: Eagle, Empire, and Crown. Each area hosts multiple vistas and/or mineral structures.
Mineral resources, which are not mineral reserves, have not proven their economic viability. There can be no certainty that all or any part of the estimated mineral resources will be converted into mineral reserves. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, proprietary, tax, social, political, marketing, changes in the global gold markets or other related issues.
CIM definitions are followed for classification of mineral resources. Inferred mineral resources have a lower level of certainty and should not be converted into mineral reserves. It is reasonably expected that the majority of inferred mineral resources will be upgraded to indicated mineral resources as exploration continues.
