Blossom Gold Reports Initial, Open Pit Expansion and Infill Drill Results from the Rosebud Open-Pit, Heap-Leach Project

About this update from Blossom Gold, Inc.

TORONTO, June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Blossom Gold Inc. (formerly, 1290448 B.C. Ltd.) ("Blossom" or the "Company") (TSX: BGAU) is pleased to announce initial drill results from its 2026 exploration drilling program at the Rosebud Project, located in Pershing County, Nevada. Notable intervals include: BG26-002 - 41.2m @ 0.385gAu/t, from 19.8m; BG26-005 - 18.3m @ 0.794gAu/t, from 126.5m; BG26-007 - 81.5m @ 0.385gAu/t, from 27.1m; BG26-008 - 24.4m @ 0.549gAu/t, from 146.3m; BG26-010 - 18.3m @ 0.509gAu/t, from 24.4m; BG26-011 - 13.8m @ 0.685gAu/t, from 96.8m; BG26-016 - 99.5m @ 0.392gAu/t, from 105.8m, including 42.8m @ 0.557gAu/t, from 148.6m; and BG26-021 - 42.7m @ 0.440gAu/t, from 143.7m, including 26.2m @ 0.915gAu/t, from 160.2m. The bulk of the drilling the Company has conducted since approval of the Rosebud Notice of Intent (NOI) has been technical drilling for metallurgical, geochemical, hydrological and geotechnical investigations (4,928m of the 9,337m drilled to date) related to permitting and future feasibility studies. Although the permitted drill pads will continue to function as multiuse, exploration drilling will now be the priority, focused on expanding and upgrading the existing inferred open-pit resource of 70.8 million tons at 0.018opt Au (0.62gAu/t) and 0.189opt Ag (6.49gAg/t) for 1.28 million ounces of gold and 13.4 million ounces of silver (see About Blossom Gold section below for more information). Drill hole assay results are reported by zone over the approximately 2km by 1.6km open pit target; the Northwest, Northeast, Southwest, South, and East Zones, as illustrated in Figure 1. In the East and South Zones, the target is up dip extension of South Ridge Fault Zone (SRFZ) mineralization above the previously mined orebodies in areas of low drill density owing to the historic focus on high grade underground mineralization. The Northeast and Northwest zones are in the Rosebud Shear Zone with low, historic drill density. Expansion drilling in these zones target the potential to add resource and push the resource pit shell to the north. The Southwest Zone is also in the Rosebud Shear Zone domain and targets areas of low drill density to potentially expand the open pit resource to the property boundary in the southwest of the Rosebud claims. Drill hole inclination is taken into account to determine the true thickness of mineralized inter...
