[{"type":"text","content":"Vancouver, British Columbia – 21 May, 2026 - TheNewswire – Au Gold Corp (TSXV: AUGC) (the “Company” or “AUGC”) is pleased to provide an update on exploration activities and analytical results received to date at its Havelock Gold-Antimony project in Victoria, Australia. Eighty-nine orientation rock samples were collected and analysed from various locations on the project (Figure 1), returning values from below detection to 25.10 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold. Only gold values have been received to date, multi-element results, including antimony are pending Two new areas of interest have been identified on the northern claim block through historical data review proximal to the Sydenham Reef Mine (owned by a third party) Historic soil geochemistry data has been acquired and added to the project digital data set, resulting in the identification of anomalous gold results on the southern end of the Shaw-McFarlane Trend, between Shaw’s Reef and the southern property boundary. The anomalies appear to have had no follow up to date Field personnel are mobilizing to collect an additional 1,000 soil samples, comprising infill and extension around existing anomalies. Further prospecting, sample collection and interpretation will be carried out during June 2026 Marc Blythe, Founder & CEO of Au Gold, comments, “Overall we are very pleased with progress to date at Havelock. We are progressing a very methodical approach, including wringing as much information out of historical work by others at the project as possible to ensure that our own work programs are tightly focused and efficient.” First Phase Orientation Rock Sampling Results During March 2026, Company personnel collected 89 orientation rock samples, comprising both select and in-situ samples at a range of sites across the project. Target areas (shown in Figure 1) included two sites along the main Shaw-McFarlane Trend (SMT) reef line and several historical sites to the west assessing parallel structures including potential extensions of Harvey’s Reef. In addition, a 3 kilometre (“km”) portion of the Oxonian Trend was prospected. Samples consisted dominantly of massive to thinly laminated quartz reef material and iron carbonate-iron oxide quartz breccias. Samples were collected from historical dump piles and shallow pits as well as undisturb...
