Independence Gold Reports Additional Gold-Silver Intersections at 3Ts Project, British Columbia

Independence Gold Corp. (TSXV: IGO) (OTCQB: IEGCF) (FSE: 625) announced additional gold and silver results from the Ian, Dixie and Goofy veins at its wholly-owned 3Ts Gold and Silver Project. Situated approximately 185 kilometres southwest of Prince George, British Columbia, the 3Ts Project comprises thirty-one mineral claims covering approximately 35,486 hectares in the Nechako Plateau region. The project lies 16 km southwest of Artemis Gold Inc.’s Blackwater Mine and hosts a low-sulphidation epithermal quartz-carbonate vein district within which at least twenty known mineralized veins, ranging from 50 to over 1,100 metres in strike length and true widths up to 32 metres, have been identified, twelve of which remain untested by drilling.

Highlights include:

• Ian vein: 8.35 metres (“m”) grading 2.39 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold and 28.98 g/t silver in hole 3TS-26-35, including 0.44 m grading 13.91 g/t gold and 100.00 g/t silver.
• Dixie vein: 8.52 m grading 1.84 g/t gold and 24.53 g/t silver in hole 3TS-26-41, with a separate interval of 2.16 m grading 1.54 g/t gold and 6.48 g/t silver.
• Goofy vein: 4.31 m grading 1.61 g/t gold and 2.09 g/t silver in hole 3TS-26-53.

Drilling at the Ian Vein primarily tested gaps within the existing drill coverage. Hole 3TS-26-35 is interpreted to have intersected the main Ian vein, returning 8.35 m grading 2.39 g/t gold and 28.98 g/t silver. Three additional holes (3TS-26-05, 3TS-26-26, 3TS-26-31) intersected mineralized narrower accessory veins within the hanging wall of the Ian Vein (see Table 1 below). The Ian Vein remains open at depth and along strike.

At the Dixie Vein, hole 3TS-26-41 tested for vein continuity approximately 30m below the intersection in the Dixie “Discovery Hole” (3TS-26-29), returning 8.52 m grading 1.84 g/t gold and 24.53 g/t silver. These results support continuity of the mineralized vein system at depth which remains open at depth and along strike.

At the Goofy Vein, hole 3TS-26-53 provided the first test of the vein below the post-mineral microdiorite sill, returning 4.31 m grading 1.61 g/t gold and 2.09 g/t silver. The intersection confirms that gold-silver mineralization continues below the sill at Goofy, consistent with the broader 3Ts geological model, and supports further testing of the vein at depth and along strike.

“These results add to the geological information generated by our 2026 drilling, which has tested established veins and identified additional mineralized targets across the 3Ts Project and may lead to future resource expansion,” commented Randy Turner, President and CEO of Independence Gold. “Together these results will further enhance our evolving our structural model linking the distribution of gold-silver mineralization to intersecting vein corridors and favourable structural settings. This drill program has also proven that mineralization continues to occur below the post-mineral microdiorite sill, highlighting the importance of evaluating targets at different depths. This stronger geological framework will guide our next phase of drilling as we assess extensions to known veins and opportunities for further untested structures across the property.”

Exploration is ongoing at 3Ts, where a technical team is completing the collection of approximately 700 soil samples and prospecting to refine the interpretation of radial structural trends and investigate their potential extensions beyond currently defined target areas. This work is being undertaken alongside archaeological surveys and ongoing environmental baseline studies.

The results will support target prioritization and further testing of the Company’s evolving geological model during an upcoming 10,000-metre drill program, including testing the extensions of established veins and evaluating up to 19 newly identified targets. Drilling is expected to commence in early November following completion of all surface work.
