Banyan Gold Continues to Intersect High-Grade Gold Mineralization in Airstrip, Yukon, CanadaVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / March 10, 2026 / Banyan Gold Corp. (the "Company" or "Banyan") (TSXV:BYN)(OTCQB:BYAGF) is pleased to announce additional drill results with high-grade gold ("Au") mineralization in the Airstrip Deposit ("Airstrip") at its AurMac Project ("AurMac"), Yukon, Canada.Airstrip Highlights:AX-25-708 - 1.49 g/t Au over 8.8 metres ("m")*, 0.59 g/t Au over 50.1m, 0.62 g/t Au over 28.6m, AND 6.80 g/t au over 9.3m*, within 3.66 g/t Au over 17.6m*; includes high-grade interval of 18.90 g/t Au over 0.4m*, 20.30 g/t Au over 0.3m, and 35.98 g/t Au over 1.6m*AX-25-782 - 2.99 g/t Au over 5.7m including high-grade interval of 13.20 g/t Au over 1.0m, AND 0.47 g/t Au over 32.8m;AX-25-784 - 1.27 g/t Au over 8.5m;AX-25-804 - 1.42 g/t Au over 3.7m, 1.79 g/t Au over 1.4m, and 1.94 g/t Au over 8.9m, all within 0.50 g/t Au over 102.7m.*Note: some intervals for AX-25-708 previously reported in news release dated November 13, 2025 - portion of assays were pending at the time"These results indicate ongoing improvement in the continuity of high-grade gold mineralization associated with skarn-style alteration within the Airstrip deposit," said Tara Christie, President and CEO. "With our exploration season underway with four drills turning and a fifth set to begin shortly, we are confident that our 2026 drill program will be transformative, building on the successful targeting of high-grade gold and silver achieved in 2025.""Step out intersections at the edges of the conceptual pit, specifically AX-25-784 and AX-25-804, demonstrate significant potential for converting a substantial portion of waste blocks into ore in our upcoming Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") update and extending the mineralized envelope (see Figure 2)," stated Duncan Mackay, Vice President of Exploration. "In 2025, 70 drillholes returned assays [from Airstrip] successfully intersected strongly mineralized intervals. The high success rate of drilling in Airstrip demonstrates the consistent nature of mineralization within the deposit, further de-risking the project as we continue improving mineral domain continuity and expanding the indicated resource footprint. There are results from 56 drill holes from the 2025 program pending."Figure 1: Plan map of highlight gold intersections at AurMac. Figure 2: Cross-section 467000mE in Airstrip (See Figure 1). High-grade mineralization associated with calc-silicate alteration in Cal 1 and Cal 2 (orange units above) indicates the potential for substantial waste block conversion and extension of the mineralized envelope with continued drilling towards hole AX-25-807 (see news release dated February 8, 2026). Figure 3: Diamond drill core from AX-25-804. Calc-silicate alteration or skarn associated with sulphide replacement mineralization hosts high-grade gold mineralization typical of the Airstrip Deposit (See Figure 2). Figure 4: Cross-section 466775mE (See Figure 1) in Airstrip. High-grade gold mineralization intersected in AX-25-784 has potential to convert up-dip waste blocks in the Airstrip deposit and highlights the potential for near-surface high-grade mineralization. Figure 5: Cross-section 467875mE (See Figure 1) in Airstrip. High-grade gold mineralization intersected in AX-25-795 and -792 is situated in a 500m step-out from the main deposit area within a conceptual satellite pit. Domains intersected here have potential to significantly expand the mineralized footprint of Airstrip as well as the potential to convert up-dip waste blocks and highlight the potential for near-surface high-grade mineralization, warranting further exploration along strike of the main deposit.
