western copper and gold corporation  (TSX: WRN) (NYSE American: WRN) (‘Western’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to contribute $75,000 to Little Salmon Carmacks First Nation (‘LSCFN’) to support meal and nutrition programs at Tantalus Community School and the LSCFN Daycare for the 202526 school year.

These programs deliver daily meals and snacks to children in Carmacks, ensuring students have access to reliable, healthy food throughout the school day. In recent months, changes to federal support funding programs have created uncertainty for many Yukon communities, resulting in delays and gaps in approvals for programs that families depend on. As a result, several school nutrition programs across the territory, including those in Carmacks, have faced challenges in maintaining consistent delivery.

LSCFN has worked diligently to keep its programs operating despite these pressures. Western’s contribution will help offset food purchasing, staffing, and program delivery costs so the community can maintain consistent services throughout the school year.

‘Little Salmon Carmacks First Nation appreciates the support from Western Copper and Gold to continue offering the nutrition programs at Tantalus Community School and our Dunena Zra Sanchi Ku Daycare,’ said Russel Blackjack, Chief of LSCFN. ‘Following the disappointing announcement that Canada would not be supporting these programs, LSCFN was committed to continuing to offer them. These programs are essential to our community’s children and families. They not only support nutrition, which ultimately plays a key role in learning outcomes for our children, but they provide employment opportunities for our citizens to support well-being and self-reliance. Mussi Cho.’

‘Ensuring children have access to nutritious meals is foundational to their health, learning, and development,’ said Sandeep Singh, President & CEO of Western. ‘We’re grateful to work alongside Little Salmon Carmacks First Nation in supporting these programs for the children and families of Carmacks. We see this as part of what it means to operate responsibly in the Yukon.’

The contribution is provided through Casino Cares, the Company’s community investment program focused on youth, education, and community well-being across the Yukon.

Western’s approach to community investment is grounded in partnership, respect, and the belief that strong relationships drive strong outcomes. As the Company advances the Casino Project, it remains committed to supporting initiatives that strengthen communities, enhance opportunities for youth, and contribute to a lasting positive legacy.

ABOUT LITTLE SALMON CARMACKS FIRST NATION’S NUTRITION AND WELLNESS PROGRAM

Little Salmon Carmacks First Nation has long prioritized programs that support the health, well-being, and success of children and families in the community of Carmacks. Through initiatives such as the Tantalus Community School meal program and the LSCFN Daycare food program, the First Nation provides daily access to nutritious meals and snacks, helping ensure students have the foundation they need to learn, grow, and thrive.

LSCFN’s approach to community wellness is guided by the Nation’s values, leadership, and commitment to self-determination. By developing and delivering their own child-focused programs, LSCFN advances First Nation control over essential services, strengthens culturally grounded support, and responds directly to the needs of families in their community.

Sranan Gold Corp. (CSE: SRAN,OTC:SRANF) (‘Sranan Gold’ or the ‘Company’) reports additional assay results from diamond drilling at the Randy’s Pit target on its Tapanahony Project, Suriname.

Highlights include 22.4m at 2.44 g/t Au in hole 25RADD-006 and 19m at 1.68 g/t Au in hole 25RADD-009. These new results (Table 1) continue to extend the mineralized structure along strike and with depth. The results build on the previously released (NR 04 November 2025) intercept of 64.0 metres grading 3.0 g/t Au (including 33.5 g/t Au over 5 m) in drill hole 25RADD-004. Sranan has now completed over 3,000 metres of drilling at Randy’s pit target and continues to demonstrate the continuity, and potential of the 4.5-km-long Randy–Poeketi gold Trend.

Table 1: Additional mineralized zones^* of initial holes drilled by Sranan Gold
^{EPSG: 32621, UTM 21N WGS 84}

^{*Intercepts above 0.3 g/t Au with internal dilution up to 5m tolerated.}

^{Widths shown are sampled intervals within the drill hole and may not represent true widths or thickness.}

These new drill results continue to intersect multiple mineralized intervals within a wider shear corridor with zones of higher-grade mineralization. There is consistent mineralization within the upper and mid-levels of this west dipping shear system that support continuity between earlier holes and the holes reported in this release. A strong, broad interval is recognized in a central mineralized corridor that is trending along strike from the initial high-grade intercept in 25RADD-004 (see NR dated 04 November 2025).

The higher-grade intercepts reported in this release indicate that there is vertical and lateral continuity of the gold mineralization. The drilling completed to date supports the Company’s developing structural model of high-grade shoots within the north-north-west trending Poeketi shear corridor. The 19-metre interval in drill hole 25RADD-009 (see Figure1) is especially important as it represents an additional wide zone of continuous mineralization that is north of Randy’s pit.

Dr. Dennis LaPoint, EVP Exploration and Business Development states that ‘We are very pleased with the continued expansion of the mineralized trend at Randy’s pit along strike and at depth. The high grades are positive for future development as we continue to expand the mineralization at the Randy’s pit further to the north.’

The mineralized shear zone is hosted in basalt/mafic volcanic rock (see Figure 2) with strong sericite-silica alteration. Oriented core measurements confirm NNW striking shear zone, with slight crenulations and local brecciation. The presence of both pyrite and pyrrhotite is strongly associated with the mineralized shear corridor.

GRANDE PRAIRIE, ALBERTA TheNewswire – (Dec. 4, 2025): Angkor Resources Corp. (TSXV: ANK,OTC:ANKOF) (‘ANGKOR’ OR ‘THE COMPANY’) announces Mussel Basin as a fourth target for exploratory drilling based on data processing of the seismic program.

After identifying three significant closed anticline structures in South Bokor, Central Bokor, and North Bokor on the west half of Block VIII, EnerCam’s team has received preliminary processed data on the northeast target of Mussel Basin.   The seismic data supports our expectation that Mussel Basin is a rift fault bounded basin, probably of Cenozoic age (within the last 66 million years).   As such, the basin is significantly different structurally than the South, Central and North Bokor basins, and so are the potential prospect types.

Keith Edwards, Geophysicist for EnerCam, comments on the Mussel Basin, ‘The advantage of the Mussel  Basin is two-fold:  First, the drilling targets will be shallower.   Second, the reservoir porosity may be higher owed to less compaction.  We are reviewing the data for stratigraphic traps, for example, reservoirs that pinches out against a sealing rock or porous channel sand encased in impermeable shale.’

The Company anticipates a full seismic interpretation in December with drill targets prioritized. In the meantime, reprocessing of specific areas of data for removal of ‘noise’ for better resolution continues.   Cleaner data helps verify what the seismic data tells the team regarding the unconformities they see and more clearly define targets for drilling.

The company undertook a 350-line kilometre 2D seismic program over Block VIII, completing the program at the end of September.   Processing and interpretation of the seismic data has been ongoing since then.   The initial data identified that clear, large four-way closures were evident on South Bokor and Central Bokor and all three sub-basins on the west side of Block VIII had anticline structures.

ABOUT Angkor Resources CORPORATION:

Angkor Resources Corp. is a public company, listed on the TSX-Venture Exchange, and is a leading resource optimizer in Cambodia working towards mineral and energy solutions across Canada and Cambodia.

Its Cambodian energy subsidiary, EnerCam Resources, was granted an onshore oil and gas license of 7300 square kilometres in the southwest quadrant of Cambodia called Block VIII.   The company then removed all parks and protected areas and added 220 square kilometres, making the license area just over 4095 square kilometres.  EnerCam is actively advancing oil and gas exploration activities onshore to meet its mission to prove Cambodia as an oil and gas producing Nation.

Since 2022, Angkor’s Canadian subsidiary, EnerCam Exploration Ltd., has been involved in oil and gas production in Saskatchewan, Canada with measures of gas capture to reduce emissions.  ANGKOR’s carbon capture and gas conservation project is part of its long-term commitment to Environmental and Social projects and cleaner energy solutions across jurisdictions.

The company’s mineral subsidiary, Angkor Gold Corp. in Cambodia holds two mineral exploration licenses in Cambodia with multiple prospects in copper and gold.

Phase 1 and 2 drill holes have intercepted and confirmed extensive oxide mineralization over 1.5 km of the 3+ km strike within the Radar Project’s Trapper Zone.

Highlights

• R-0008, -0009 and -0010 on Drill Section N-11 transected the magnetic anomaly and demonstrated a likely structural repetition of the cumulate oxide layers dominated by semi-massive to massive cumulate oxides, confirming the strong magnetic response.
• R-0008: Comprising semi-massive to massive oxide mineralization, with a cumulative total of 156 m of core length.
• R-0009: Over half the length of the hole intersected semi-massive to massive oxide layering, with a cumulative total of 165 m of core length.
• R-0010: Was drilled off the same drill pad as R-0009 to test the NE limb of the fold. R-0010 contained a cumulative core intercept of 139.5 m of semi-massive to massive oxides, as well as 11.5 m of intercumulus oxide in 251 m of coring.
• R-0011 : Intersected equal portions of semi-massive to massive cumulate oxides and intercumulus oxides. Importantly, the drilling encountered a separate unit of rhythmic banded oxide mineralization.
• R-0012 & R-0013: Are the first two drill holes of the initial cross section in Trapper South and contains rhythmic oxide layering and further confirms oxide mineralization over 1.5 km of the 3+ km strike within the Trapper Zone.

Drill Hole Program Details

Phase 1 of drilling in the Trapper North Zone targets a strong magnetic anomaly delineated in the 2025 ground geophysical survey. The anomaly traces the shape of an apparent fold structure. Drilling fences are oriented to cross the fold structure at right angles, with drilling directions of mostly N038°E. A total of 1,073 m of drilling has been completed in four diamond drill holes. Phase 2 is focused on Trapper South and will concentrate on multiple fences through the magnetic anomalies. A total of 445 m has been completed in two diamond drill holes thus far.

Drilling is conducted with oriented drill core to provide definitive structural information. Dr. Boukare Tapsoba, of Cambria Geological Inc., is attending the first phase of drilling to establish robust protocols for documenting the magmatic layering, folding and mylonitic shearing.

• R-0008 (Azimuth 38°, Dip -45°, EOH 272 m) , was collared in the SW limb of a large fold closure in gabbronorite in Trapper North. Over half the length of the hole passed through intervals of semi-massive to massive oxide mineralization, with a cumulative total of 156 m out of 272 m of core length.
• R-0009 (Azimuth 38°, Dip -45°, EOH 299 m) , tested the remainder of the Trapper North fold structure. The drill hole was collared to intercept the NE limb of the fold and to complete the cross-section started with R-0008. Over half the length of the hole intersected semi-massive to massive oxide layering, with a cumulative total of 165 m out of 299 m of core length.
• R-0010 (Azimuth 0°, Dip -45°, EOH 251 m) , was drilled off the same drill pad as R-0009 to verify the most appropriate angle for drilling the NE limb of the fold. Additionally, this hole provides a control for understanding the structural position of a mylonitic shear that occupies the fold’s axial plane. R-0010 contained a cumulative core intercept of 139.5 m of semi-massive to massive oxides, as well as 11.5 m of intercumulus oxide in 251 m of coring.
• R-0011 (Azimuth 0°, Dip -45°, EOH 251 m), the fourth drill hole in Trapper North was a 100 m step out to the east from R-0009 & R-0010. The hole successfully demonstrated the continuity of the semi-massive to massive layering while also intersecting a unit of Rhythmic Magnetite layering, similar to the holes drilled in Hawkeye in Q1 of 2025. R-0011 intercepted a cumulative interval of 58.3 meters of semi-massive to massive oxide, 27.39 meters of intercumulus and 52.12 meters of rhythmic magnetite banding.

Drilling on Section N-11, in diamond drill holes R-0008, -0009, and -0010, demonstrated variations in the structural attitude that map an open anticline in the semi-massive to massive oxides. The exceptional thickness of the oxide units on Section N-11 is partly due to the structural repetition of the units. A mylonitic shear zone occupies the axial plane of the fold. Significantly, this drilling tested both the SW and NE limbs of the fold structure and was dominated by semi-massive to massive cumulate oxides, confirming the strong magnetic response. Assays are pending.

Drill Core Sample Update

Saga Metals has successfully shipped the first 420 core samples from the Fall 2025 Drill Program. A close sample spacing of 0.5 to 1.0 m was used in the Hawkeye zone Q1 drill program of 2025. After reviewing the assay results on that zone, the team has reduced the sampling interval to 2.0 m.

The first 420 samples include 202 from the complete R-0008 drill hole and 218 from the complete R-0009 drill hole. These samples were shipped at the start of this week and are expected to arrive by the end of the week, with assay results available within 3 to 4 weeks.

Next Steps

Drill has successfully moved from Trapper North to Trapper South and has begun drilling a four-hole section across the linear magnetic anomalies with the zone. R-0012 and R-0013 are completed, and Gladiator Drilling has successfully moved the drill shack to the site of R-0014 with drilling already underway.

With the same concept of the first four holes in the North, drilling in the South will concentrate on multiple fences through the magnetic anomalies to allow Saga’s geological team to best understand and plan for the remainder of the mineral resource estimate drill program that will continue in Q1 of 2026.

‘Saga Metals Radar Project, Fall 2025 Drill Program is aggressively testing for the presence of, and continuity of layered magnetite mineralization that has been defined by their recent ground magnetic surveys. Their targeting of fold noses is logical, and their use of oriented core to define layering attitudes and facing directions will greatly aid their geological interpretation of these large, property-scale folded formations. Their early use of structural geological expertise is well thought out and will be of great value in the definition of this emerging layered mafic intrusive complex,’ commented Vernon Shein, former B2Gold Executive & Advisory Board Member of Saga Metals.

Drill Program Objectives:

The Phase 1 Trapper Zone drill campaign will target:

• Grade continuity across a 3 km strike length.
• Oxide layering widths and continuity to true depths of about 200 meters.
• Integration of structural insights from trenching and drilling into collar orientation and drill design.
• Initial drilling of ~2,000 meters in 8 holes, each averaging about 250 m in depth, will be completed before the December break.
• Test both the North and South sections of the Trapper zone before the seasonal break to fully determine grades, widths and structures before initiating the detailed grid and drill sections in 2026 for a mineral resource estimate.
• Drilling will be complemented by metallurgical sampling through the winter, with core from both the Hawkeye and Trapper zones undergoing detailed metallurgical testing.

The Trapper Trail (in black) will be the target of the planned 15,000 m diamond drilling program aimed at establishing Saga’s maiden mineral resource estimation.

The Radar Property spans 24,175 hectares and hosts the entire Dykes River intrusive complex (~160 km²), a unique position among Western explorers. Geological mapping, geophysics, and trenching have already confirmed oxide layering across more than 20 km of strike length, with mineralization open for expansion.

Vanadiferous titanomagnetite (‘VTM’) mineralization at Radar is comparable to global Fe–Ti–V systems such as Panzhihua (China), Bushveld (South Africa), and Tellnes (Norway), positioning the Project as a potential strategic future supplier of titanium, vanadium, and iron to North American markets.

SAGA has demonstrated the reliability of the regional airborne magnetic surveys after ground-truthing and drilling in the 2024 and 2025 field programs .
