[{"type":"text","content":"Maple Gold Expands Gold System at Douay with Broad Step-Out Intercepts; 1.1 g/t Au over 74 m, Including 2.8 g/t Au over 13.5 m, in the Nika Zone and 1.0 g/t Au over 138 m, Including 3.1 g/t Au over 9 m, in the Porphyry West ZoneVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 16, 2026) - Maple Gold Mines Ltd. (TSXV: MGM) (OTCQX: MGMLF) (FSE: M3G0) (\"Maple Gold\" or the \"Company\") today announced assay results from 14 drill holes completed during its ongoing, fully-funded 30,000-metre (\"m\") winter drill campaign (the \"Program\") at its 100%-owned Douay Gold Project (\"Douay\") and Joutel Gold Project (\"Joutel\") (together, \"Douay/Joutel\" or the \"Property\") located along the Casa Beradi-Douay Gold Trend in Québec, Canada. Results include 12 drill holes from the Nika Zone and two (2) drill holes from the Porphyry West Zone, targeting higher-grade southeast-plunging shoots to confirm continuity and extend mineralization at depth following encouraging results from the 2025 winter program. HighlightsIn the Nika Zone, drill hole DO-25-57X returned 2.8 grams per tonne gold (\"g/t Au\") over 13.5 m within a broader interval of 1.1 g/t Au over 74.0 m, located approximately 100 m down-plunge from previous drill hole DO-21-282X which returned 5.5 g/t Au over 9.6 m within a broader interval of 1.6 g/t Au over 132.5 m (see news release dated May 26, 2021).Also in the Nika Zone, drill hole DO-25-353 returned 1.4 g/t Au over 21.6 m within a broader interval of 0.4 g/t Au over 358.5 m, located approximately 150 m below previous drill hole DO-25-338 which returned 4.9 g/t Au over 17.0 m within a broader zone of 2.1 g/t Au over 108.6 m (see news release dated April 3, 2025).In the Porphyry West Zone, drill hole DO-26-369 returned 1.9 g/t Au over 30.0 m, including 3.1 g/t Au over 9.0 m, within a broader interval of 1.0 g/t Au over 138.0 m located along a similar moderate southeast plunging shoot as is demonstrated in the Nika Zone.The 'Nika Plunge' model is now confirmed at both Nika and Porphyry West, supporting the broader geological interpretation at Douay and resource expansion potential to depth. Ongoing exploration drilling continues to demonstrate that gold mineralization at Douay extends well beyond the 2022 Mineral Resource Estimate (\"MRE\") and remains open in multiple directions. The Company has completed 51 holes (~...
