Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 7, 2026) - Gold Runner Exploration Inc. (CSE: GRUN) (FSE: CE70) ("Gold Runner" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, further to the Company's press release dated May 26, 2026, the radiometric and airborne magnetic surveys designed for its Golden Girl project ("Golden Girl" or "Golden Girl Property"), in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia, being performed by Precision GeoSurveys Inc., have commenced. Data acquisition has been completed, and processing and interpretation of the data is underway and is expected to be ready and available for further guidance by our field teams by the time they mobilize. Mobilization is on schedule for July 12, 2026 with field work beginning on July 13, 2026.

Golden Girl Highlights
The Golden Girl Property covers 8,471 hectares in the prolific Iskut River region of Northwestern British Columbia, located just 17 km from the Snip Mine and 14 km from the Bronson Airstrip.
Discovery exploration in 2024 identified a major new gold-silver system measuring 12 km by 7 km with high grade gold-silver mineralization:
-
Grab samples assayed up to 11.28 g/t Au, 3,262 g/t Ag, 5.37% Cu, 20% Pb, and 14.15% Zn.
-
Channel cuts assayed up to 3.74 g/t Au, 2,105.45 g/t Ag, 0.88% Cu, 5.48% Pb, and 7.42% Zn.
-
High-grade mineralization occurs in structurally controlled shear zones with sulphide-rich veins, stockwork, and breccias, similar to the nearby past-producing Snip Gold Mine (which historically produced ~1M oz Au, 390k oz Ag, and over 249k kg Cu). (The reader is reminded that the information provided herein from neighbouring projects and properties is not necessarily indicative of resources and should not be relied upon for the determination of mineralization or potential results of the Company's properties).
More than 95% of the property has never undergone systematic modern exploration. Recent rapid glacial retreat and melting snowpacks have exposed vast areas of previously buried bedrock, opening large, untouched tracts of ground for immediate mapping and sampling.
