AUAU:CC - A2Gold Completes Comprehensive Geophysics Program and Advances on Core Drilling at Eastside Project
(TheNewswire)
Data Analysis Underway to RefineTargets for Upcoming
18,000-Metre RC Drill Program
Tonopah, Nevada / October 1, 2025 – TheNewswire - A2Gold Corp. (“A2Gold” or the“Company”) (AUAU: TSX-V) (AUXXF: OTCQX) ispleased to announce that it has successfully completed in its entiretythe two-phase geophysics program at its flagship Eastside Gold-SilverProject, located in the Walker Lane Trend near the town of Tonopah,Nevada. The program included a property-wide gravity survey, as wellas a high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey.
The Company hired Mr. Chet Lide, GeophysicalConsultant, for the planning of the program and has hired James Wrightfrom J.L. Wright Geophysics for the geophysical interpretation andreport. Results are expected to be finalized in the coming weeks andwill be used to define and prioritize targets for the Company’sfully funded 18,000-metre reverse circulation (RC) drill programscheduled to commence later this year.
Peter Gianulis, CEO,commented , "The completion of our geophysicsprogram marks a key milestone for A2Gold, delivering comprehensivedatasets that will guide hole selection for our upcoming 18,000-metreRC drill program - one of the largest exploration campaigns everundertaken at Eastside.”
At the same time, our ongoing coredrill program at McIntosh is already testing the vertical andstructural extensions of some of the highest-grade intercepts everdrilled at Eastside. With data from both programs, we are wellpositioned to advance Eastside into a leading gold-silver project inNevada.”
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
• Gravity Survey: Completed in September with 800stations on a 300-metre grid, designed to map pre-Tertiary basementstructures that may control dome emplacement andmineralization.
• Airborne Magnetic and Radiometric Survey: Coveredapproximately 66.9 km² at 50-metre line spacing for a total of 1,469line-km of data. Designed to extend coverage southward from a previousdrone survey, this high-resolution survey highlights both structuraland alteration features associated with mineralization.
Objective: Enhance the Eastside property-wide geologic and structural model andsupport drill targeting across multiple zones, including McIntosh andCastle.
CORE DRILL PROGRAM UPDATE
In parallel with the geophysics program, A2Gold hascommenced a 2,000-metre diamond core drill program testing theHigh-Grade Zone at McIntosh.
• The first hole (ES-331) has been completed reachinga vertical depth of approximately 530 metres designed to test thevertical extensions of the bonanza-grade mineralization encountered in2021 drilling.
• The second hole (ES-337) is nearly complete and isdesigned to intersect multiple structural orientations and to test other known gold mineralized structures atgreater depths that previously drilled
• The third hole (ES-338) will be drilled at an angleto specifically test various feeder structures and to maximize thepotential of intercepting additional high-grade zones at depth.
Results from the first hole of this program areexpected within the next 2-4 weeks.
