Blossom Gold Reports Continued Success With Expansion And Infill Drilling At The Rosebud Open-Pit Heap-Leach Project
Blossom Gold Inc. announced further drill results from its ongoing 2026 exploration program at the Rosebud Open-Pit Heap-Leach Project in Pershing County, Nevada. This release builds on results reported on June 30, 2026 and highlights continued expansion and infill success across the South, Southwest, and Northeast Zones. Notable intervals include: BG26-023 – 8.9m @ 0.757gAu/t, from 105.8m; BG26-024 - 14.3m @ 0.551gAu/t, from 131.8m and 25.3m @ 0.864gAu/t, from 160.4m; BG26-025 – 9.6m @ 0.532gAu/t, from 98.8m; BG26-026 – 124.3m @ 0.315gAu/t, from 152.3.4m, including 34.2m @ 0.664gAu/t, from 183.0m; BG26-027 – 26.3m @ 0.643gAu/t, from 132.8m and 28.0m @ 1.682gAu/t, from 170.9m; and BG26-030 – 41.9m @ 0.275gAu/t from 129.7m, including, 9.0m @ 0.709gAu/t from 155.3m and 115.4m @ 0.553gAu/t, from 181.5m, including 52.6m @ 0.860gAu/t, from 197.1m. The current focus of the drill program continues to be completion of technical drilling for permitting and design work, which is now 80% complete, and expansion resource drilling. One core drill rig will continue completing technical drilling. Two core rigs are now devoted to drilling aimed at expanding and upgrading the existing inferred open-pit resource of 70,800,000 tons at 0.018opt Au (0.62gAu/t) and 0.189opt Ag (6.49gAg/t) for 1,280,000 ounces of gold and 13,400,000 ounces of silver. A reverse circulation drill rig has been secured to increase exploration drilling rates. In the South Zone, results from drill holes BG26-024, -026, -027, and -030, combined with previously reported drill holes BG26-005 and -016, confirm that significant thicknesses of gold mineralization surround the historic south mined zones. Drill hole BG26-038, together with previously reported drill holes BG26-010 and -011, supports continuation of mineralization south of the south mined zones and up-dip along the South Ridge Fault Zone, with gold grade extending to or near the top of bedrock. Additional drilling along strike from BG26-038 supports this trend, with these assays still pending. The Company is actively drilling the triangular area defined by the historic mined zones to test continuity of mineralization spanning the South and East Zones, with potential extension further up-dip and along strike of the South Ridge Fault Zone under continued investigation. In the Northeast Zone, results from drill hole BG26-018, combined with previously reported drill hole BG26-004, indicate a zone of near-surface gold mineralization near the northeast edge of the proposed pit outline. Assay results to support the possibility of near-surface mineralization are still pending. BG26-018 also intercepted gold mineralization at depth along the South Ridge Fault Zone, suggesting a northward extension of mineralization along the previously mined south to north zones. In the Southwest Zone, results from drill holes BG26-023, -025, and -028, together with previously reported drill holes BG26-002, -020, and -021, support the presence of a gold mineralized zone approximately 600m west of the south underground mined zone, an area with limited historic drilling. Drilling continues in this zone to define its extent and underlying geology. As previously noted, drill hole assay results are reported by zone over the approximately 2,000m by 1,600m open pit target; the Northwest, Northeast, Southwest, South, and East Zones. In the East and South Zones, the target is up dip extension of South Ridge Fault Zone mineralization above the previously mined orebodies in areas of low drill density owing to the historic focus on high grade underground mineralization. The Northeast and Northwest zones are in the Rosebud Shear Zone with low, historic drill density. Expansion drilling in these zones target the potential to add resource and push the resource pit shell to the north. The Southwest Zone is also in the Rosebud Shear Zone domain and targets areas of low drill density to potentially expand the open pit resource to the property boundary in the southwest of the Rosebud claims. Drill hole inclination is taken into account to determine the true thickness of mineralized intervals from surface. All intervals Blossom reports will be true thicknesses unless otherwise noted. Only gold values are reported. In-situ, the silver to gold ratio at Rosebud is 10:1 based on the 43-101 technical report as well as historic production, adjusted for recoveries. However, Blossom will report gold only as opposed to gold equivalent results until such time the Company has better information on forecast silver recoveries from the ongoing metallurgical testing. Rosebud Open Pit Expansion and Infill Drilling determined at a 0.005opt (0.17gAu/t) cutoff grade, highlighted > 0.01opt (0.34 gAu/t); Hole Type – E = Expansion/Exploration, I = Infill, M = Metallurgical, GT = Geotechnical. Grade is capped at 6.587gAu/t in holes BG26-024 and BG26-027 with one assay in each capped. opt calculated from g/t using a conversation factor of 1 opt equals 34.286gAu/t and rounded off to the third decimal. There were only two holes not reported, BG26-017 and BG26-028 in the Southwest Zone due to being below the 0.17gAu/t cutoff grade. Nonetheless, both demonstrate extensive low-grade gold mineralization, 99.1m @ 0.056gAu/t from 12.9m and 56.1m @ 0.133 gAu/t from 102.9m, that will be followed up. Blossom Gold continues to advance the 2026 Rosebud exploration program, which includes continued surface drilling with four drill rigs with a priority on resource expansion and infill holes going forward, though technical drilling will also be scheduled as needed in support of the Project’s Plan of Operations, Environmental Impact Statement and Feasibility Study.
