[{"type":"text","content":" Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 19, 2026) - Epic Gold Corp. (CSE: EPG) (\"Epic Gold\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report initial assay results from its ongoing diamond drilling program at the Fenton Gold Project, located approximately 60 km southeast of Chapais, Québec. The Company completed 4,259 metres of NQ-size diamond drilling in ten holes designed to test high-priority structural, geological, and geophysical targets associated with historically reported high-grade gold mineralization. Core drilling for the 2026 program was completed by Chibougamau Diamond Drilling Ltd. Key intercepts include: FTN-26-002 confirmed high-grade gold mineralization within the Everest System, returning 5.85 m grading 4.65 g/t Au, including 2.00 m grading 8.83 g/t Au. FTN-26-003 at the new Weller target intersected 77.05 m grading 0.54 g/t Au outside the known Fenton Main deposit, including multiple higher-grade intervals. FTN-26-005 confirmed broad and continuous gold mineralization within the Fenton Main Zone, returning 76.80 m grading 1.23 g/t Au, including 26.70 m grading 2.25 g/t Au. FTN-26-006, drilled approximately 1.2 km along strike from the Fenton Main Zone, intersected broad gold mineralization comparable to Fenton-style mineralization, including 8.75 m grading 0.67 g/t Au with localized higher-grade intervals up to 10.50 g/t Au. FTN-26-009 identified a new zone at the Highland Park target, returning 12.10 m grading 0.56 g/t Au, with localized high-grade mineralization including 0.60 m grading 10.20 g/t Au in hole FTN-26-010. Figure 1. Simplified geological map of the Fenton Gold Project showing 2026 drill collar locations, selected significant drill intercepts, historical drilling, and interpreted mineralized trends across the Fenton, Weller, Everest, Highland Park, and Dalmore target areas. The map highlights the approximate 1.2 km strike extent between the Fenton and Dalmore targets. Discussion The 2026 drill program successfully expanded gold mineralization across multiple target areas at the Fenton Gold Project, including Fenton Main, Everest, Weller, Highland Park, and Dalmore. Drilling intersected broad intervals of gold mineralization over an approximate 1.2 km strike length, supporting the potential for a larger structurally controlled gold system extending beyond the historically defined Fenton Main ...
