(Private) (the \u201cCompany\u201d) is pleased to provide additional assay results returned from delineation drilling targeting stacked footwall lenses within, and immediately adjacent to, the existing Kerr-Addison open pit mineral resources. The drilling was part of the previously reported Open Pit Infill and Chesterville East (CVE) <a href=\"https:\/\/goldcandle.com\/gold-candle-continues-to-expand-kerr-addison-open-pit-with-successful-step-out-drilling-to-the-east\/\">exploration program<\/a> (14,100 metres over 49 holes) completed in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>The assays from the Footwall Main Zone drilling returned higher grade intervals than widely spaced historic drilling and outline the potential for a mineralized corridor of three to four stacked lenses, striking northeast for approximately 400 metres with a width of approximately 300 metres, located immediately southeast of the Kerr-Addison main zone (Figure 1). Using a 20 GXM (grams per tonne x metres) threshold, 10 holes returned significant intercepts with six of the 10 holes including gold grades over 1.35 grams per tonne where the May 2025 InnovExplo block model had interpolated limited mineralization:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>KAD25-369:\u00a0<\/strong>212.00 &#8211; 226.48 m; 14.48 m @ 1.99 g\/t<\/li>\n<li><strong>KAD25-378:<\/strong>\u00a0185.00 &#8211; 228.70 m; 43.70 m @ 1.45 g\/t<\/li>\n<li><strong>KAD25-382:<\/strong>\u00a0125.00 &#8211; 160.25 m; 35.25 m @ 1.81g\/t<\/li>\n<li><strong>KAD25-383:<\/strong>\u00a044.68 &#8211; 89.00 m; 44.32 m @ 1.36 g\/t<\/li>\n<li><strong>KAD25-387:\u00a0<\/strong>226.00 &#8211; 241.00 m; 15.0 m @ 1.76 g\/t<\/li>\n<li><strong>KAD25-389:\u00a0<\/strong>139.20 &#8211; 153.00 m; 13.80 m @ 1.80 g\/t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The other four of 10 significant intercepts successfully upgraded resource classification by achieving the 60-metre planned drill spacing (Figure1):<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li><strong>KAD24-359:\u00a0<\/strong>6.00 \u2013 24.00 m; 18.00 m @ 1.77 g\/t<\/li>\n<li><strong>KAD25-373:<\/strong>\u00a0410.39 \u2013 420.72 m; 10.33 m @ 2.28 g\/t<\/li>\n<li><strong>KAD25-374:<\/strong>\u00a032.00 \u2013 52.00 m; 20.00 m @ 3.42 g\/t<\/li>\n<li><strong>KAD25-384:<\/strong>\u00a0385.00 \u2013 406.60 m; 21.06 m @ 1.60 g\/t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Rick Howes, Chief Executive Officer of Gold Candle Ltd., stated, \u201c<em>We are very pleased with these latest results as they continue to demonstrate the potential for the stacked footwall zones to develop a level of continuity that, with more drilling, should positively impact our mineral resource inventory.
