(TSXV: LVG) (OTCQB: LVGLF) (the \"Company\" or \"LVG\") reports results from a recent grab sampling program conducted at multiple active artisanal mining sites within its 100%-owned Tembo Project in northwestern Tanzania. The presence of ongoing artisanal activity across the licence area has highlighted several priority targets, with grab samples returning high-grade gold values of up to 35.45 g/t Au.The sampling program was designed to assess gold mineralization associated with currently active artisanal mining operations within the Company's granted Mining Licences and to refine drill targeting ahead of the upcoming Q1 2026 drill program.Artisanal Grab Sampling ProgramA total of eight active artisanal mining locations were visited and sampled. Grab samples were collected from exposed mineralized material at surface and within shallow workings. Two of the sampled locations are newly identified areas, while two others correspond to targets defined through earlier drill programs, several of which have seen limited or non-systematic drilling to date.Notable results include:Ngula 1 - up to 35.45 g/t Au and 12.94 g/t Au, confirming high-grade mineralization at LVG's primary Tembo target and supporting its priority status for near-term drilling.Ngula 2 - grab samples returning 35.21 g/t Au, 10.27 g/t Au and 10.30 g/t Au, reinforcing historical artisanal and exploration results.Mgusu Target - previously under-drilled area returning values of 5.90 g/t Au, identifying a compelling new priority target.Nyangomango - newly identified artisanal workings returning 7.86 g/t Au and 8.50 g/t Au.Nyakagwe East - renewed artisanal activity returned 22.68 g/t Au and 3.16 g/t Au, supporting extensions of known mineralization to the northwest.Geological ObservationsMineralization observed at sites returning elevated gold values is consistently associated with smokey-grey quartz veins hosted in sheared basalts, with visible pyrrhotite and pyrite sulphides. Active artisanal workings are aligned along multiple structural trends, including northeast, northwest, and east-west orientations, consistent with the Company's established structur...
