[{"type":"text","content":" Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 12, 2026) - Sorrento Resources Ltd. (CSE: SRS) (OTCQB: SRSLF) (the \"Company\" or \"Sorrento\"), a Canadian exploration company focused on the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral projects in Atlantic Canada, is pleased to announce that visible gold has been intersected in the first drill hole completed at the Company's Rodgers Cove Gold Project. Visible gold was observed in drill hole RC26-001, the first hole ever completed on the Rodgers Cove property. The gold occurs as fine- to medium-grained particles hosted within quartz diorite. It was intersected at a downhole depth of 66.77m. The drill hole also intersected abundant sulphide mineralization (approximately 1-10%), including arsenopyrite, pyrite, boulangerite, chalcopyrite, and pyrrhotite. Drilling is progressing as planned, with the second drill hole expected to be completed by Thursday morning. Figure 1. Visible gold in drill hole RC26-001 *The presence of visible gold in drill core is considered encouraging; however, it should not be considered a definitive indicator of gold grade or continuity of mineralization. Visible gold observations are qualitative in nature and may not be representative of overall gold distribution within the drill hole or across the property. Analytical assay results are required to determine the actual gold content of the sampled intervals. Management Commentary \"Intersecting visible gold in the first drill hole at Rodgers Cove represents a significant milestone for Sorrento,\" said Alex Bugden, President and CEO of Sorrento Resources Ltd. \"These early observations reinforce our belief that Rodgers Cove has the potential to host a meaningful gold system. We are eager to build on this initial success as drilling continues and we work toward defining the extent of mineralization across the property.\" About the Rodgers Cove Project The Rodgers Cove Project is located in Gander Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador near the town of Rodgers Cove and less than 50km north of Gander, a town with a skilled workforce and an international airport.
