Westward Gold Details Drilling Plans At El Segundo Target, Toiyabe Hills Property, Nevada Westward Gold Inc. provided additional details surrounding its planned Phase I drilling campaign at the El Segundo Target, one of three target areas slated for testing with reverse circulation and core drilling in 2026 at the Company’s Toiyabe Hills Property in Lander County, NV. This target has been developed over several field seasons through the application of Westward’s systematic, multi-disciplinary approach to greenfield gold exploration, and is now primed for its initial drill test. El Segundo is located approximately 4 km south-southeast of the SSD Target and 3 km south of the Campfire Target; it sits in the footwall of the district-scale north-striking Hilltop Structural Corridor, and favourable lower-plate carbonate host rocks of the Wenban Formation are exposed at surface across most of the target area. Multiple robust datasets support this year’s decision to allocate a portion of the Company’s drilling budget to further advance and define El Segundo, including the following: Surface Geochemistry: A large plume of elevated Carlin-suite elements (notably arsenic) lies over and outboard of the target area – as indicated by a gridded soil survey – coincident with anomalous gold in rock-chip samples (up to 1.6 g Au/t) and the strongest antimony on the Property in rock-chip samples (up to 589 ppm Sb). Geophysical Surveys: Robust geophysical datasets have been acquired through a gravity survey (2024), an airborne magnetic survey (2025), and a controlled-source audio-frequency magnetotelluric survey (2026) – and point to gravity-interpreted alteration (decalcification) in lower-plate carbonate rocks, and strong silicification (and argillic alteration) interpreted from CSAMT data. Anaconda-Style Mapping: 1:5000-scale mapping has identified surface alteration (both decalcification and silicification), northeast-striking dike-filled fault corridors, and syncline-anticline pairs indicative of compression – a favourable structural setting for Carlin-style gold exploration. Eight drill pads have been permitted, and construction on the last remaining eastern pads at El Segundo is nearing completion. This target will be tested with a combination of RC and core holes for a total of approximately 6,000 metres, the latter being used primarily to cross-cut major structural zones and obtain the best possible geology.

Westward Gold Inc. Commences Drilling and Provides Update on Field Activities At the Toiyabe Hills Property Westward Gold Inc. provided an update on field activities at the Company's Toiyabe Hills Property in Lander County, Nevada, where drilling has just commenced and numerous additional exploration programs are currently ongoing. Following the recent receipt of a Work Plan Concurrence from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, trenching activities were completed at the SSD Target, one of three zones slated for core and reverse-circulation drilling in 2026. The Company has just begun drilling at SSD following delivery of a core rig to site, with two reverse-circulation rigs to follow in the months ahead from National EWP and Legacy Drilling. Additional large-scale programs to be completed this year include 1:5000 surface mapping, geochemical sampling, and multiple geophysical surveys. A 468-metre trenching program has just been completed at the SSD Target, designed to more accurately sample and map structures ahead of drilling; this data will contribute to the final determination of drill hole dips /azimuths from certain planned drill sites. High-grade structures - including the dike containing a 16.4 g Au/t sample - will be projected down-section based on mapped dips and strikes, and drills will be aimed to intersect these structures within favourable carbonate host rocks (notably of the Wenban Formation). These settings typically represent the best potential for significant zones of gold mineralization in Carlin-type systems along the major trends of northern Nevada. The Company's 1:5000 Anaconda-style surface mapping program has been ongoing since the beginning of the field season, and continues to form a vital part of Westward's systematic exploration and targeting strategy. This year will see the greatest amount of new coverage ever, with three expert mappers advancing multiple folios concurrently (including recent land expansions to the north and south). The program has already generated important new findings, notably moving north at the SSD Target and over newly-acquired ground at the southern end of the Property. The SSD alteration footprint has been expanded to the north and northeast of previous mapping, and surface alteration remains open in those directions. Three distinct patterns have been verified: quartz veins /stockworks and silica replacements increase to the north, especially along north-, east northeast-, northeast-, and northwest-striking faults; hydrothermally-altered lamprophyre and altered quartz porphyry dikes/sills occur in close proximity to one another; and hematite, hematitic clay, and euhedral barite crystals are notable alteration features. The hematite is significant for two reasons: hematite often implies a higher sulfidation state, and from south to north, limonite is dominant at the past-producing Toiyabe-Saddle open pits, and at the shallow Courtney Zone on the Property. Hematite occurs further to the north, in the vicinity of stronger silicification and altered quartz porphyry and lamprophyre dikes - this area is also closer to the recently-identified Threemile Stock. 20 hydrothermally-altered outcrop and subcrop samples were collected over a ~0.8-square-kilometre area north and northeast of the northernmost SSD trench. Samples represent an initial characterization of altered upper-plate siliciclastic rocks and/or intrusive material, including quartz-veined/stockworked-limonite-hematite altered fault zones, silicified fault breccias with limonite, hematite, and/or barite, and clay-altered and limonitic lamprophyres. At the Company's new southern ground, a series a northwest-striking altered dike-filled fault corridors have been mapped and samples have been collected. The Company's robust 2026 geochemical sampling programs are adding to an already expansive database built over the last several years, and will include the following: trenching with rock-chip samples collected at regular intervals with increased frequency around observed areas of interest; soil grids with collection of soil samples at 200-metre spacing across the most recently-acquired claims to the north and south, in addition to a select in-fill grid to improve upon inherited legacy data; mapping with rock-chip samples collected over the most interesting areas identified during surface mapping; and road-cuts and drill-pad earthwork with rock-chip sampling of exposures created by road and pad construction. Three significant geophysical surveys are being conducted by the Company in 2026. This year's programs include the following: an airborne magnetic survey designed to cover newly-acquired ground to the north and better define a suspected buried igneous stock identified via a 2025 survey; a CSAMT (Controlled-Source Audio-Frequency Magnetotellurics) survey with two lines designed to provide better resolution of structures and stratigraphy at the El Segundo Target slated for Phase I drilling in 2026; and a gravity survey that will add coverage over the newly-acquired ground to the north and south and tie into the existing Property-wide dataset.
