(TSXV: WGLD) (the \"Company\") is pleased to provide further details about its recently created joint venture (the \"JV\") with Acrux Gold Limited (\"Acrux Gold\") to explore for gold, silver, and critical minerals as part of the Caledonian Gold Project in central Scotland (see the Company's 25 Nov. 2025 press release). Acrux Gold is the new owner of the Cononish Gold Mine.A comprehensive review of historical exploration data within the JV area is ongoing using public file data. As part of the JV, Acrux Gold is supplying regional datasets dating back to the 1980's with extensive coverage within the JV area. Some initial observations from historical reports and press releases highlight the potential of the area. Glen Orchy area (Figure 1) was the focus of limited historic exploration by Ennex International during the 1980s, and Scotgold Resources in the 2010s. Historical reports indicate numerous gold bearing quartz veins were discovered. Some of the most notable historical assays, taken by handheld diamond winky drill and grab samples, include: Beinn Udlaidh Vein: which can be traced for over 2km strike in strike length and is up to 20m wide. Best samples include: 7.5m @ 4.1 g/t Au from surface, including 0.5m @ 19.2 g/t Au1Rock chip grab samples up to 73.2 g/t Au2River Vein: Several chip grab samples > 100 g/t Au, up to 383.2 g/t Au2The Lyon area (Figure 1) seems comparatively underexplored, with historic data limited in extent. Scotgold Resources handheld diamond winky drilling included the following:Coire a'Ghabhalach Vein: 1.0m @ 25.5 g/t Au and 2.1m @ 15.3 g/t Au, from surface2Creag Sheileach: 1.0m @ 25.46 g/t Au, from surface2Note: grab samples are selective in nature and should not be interpreted as representative of the economic potential of the area, winky drill samples are best viewed as equivalent to a rock channel sample rather than a drillhole, see Table 1.
