GFG Delivers Broad Gold Intercept of 1.01 g/t Au over 51.5 m including 6.36 g/t Au over 5.0 m and Advances Discovery Driven District-Scale Exploration at Goldarm SASKATOON, Saskatchewan, Jan. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GFG Resources Inc. (TSXV: GFG | OTCQB: GFGSF) (“GFG” or the “Company”) reports six (6) holes and two (2) hole extensions from the 12-hole (2,650 metre) Phase 2-2025 drill program at the Aljo Gold Project (“Aljo”), located on the Company’s Goldarm Property (“Goldarm”) in the prolific Timmins Gold District of Ontario, Canada (See Figures 1 and 2). The Phase 2-2025 drill program at Aljo was designed to confirm and expand mineralization across the Main, Hangingwall (“HW”), and Footwall (“FW”) Zones. Infill and step-out drilling in the Main and HW Zones successfully confirmed continuity, expanded mineralization at depth, and refined the geological model. In the FW Zones, drilling extended and confirmed up-dip continuity of the FW3 Zone and led to the discovery of a new FW zone, FW4 (See press release dated November 27,2025). In addition, 150-metre step-out holes were completed to the east to test potential extensions of the system, with results pending (See Table 1 and Figures 3 and 4). Highlights: High-grade and broad HW intercepts demonstrate scale and depth continuity, including one of the strongest gram-metre results at Aljo: ALJ-25-036: yielding one of the highest gram-metre products at Aljo to-date, with 1.01 grams of gold per tonne (“g/t Au”) over 51.5 metres (“m”), including 6.36 g/t Au over 5.0 m, confirming the HW system remains open and well mineralized below historical mine workings;ALJ-25-035: 10.45 g/t Au over 2.1 m, including 22.90 g/t Au over 0.9 m, with visible gold, representing the western-most test of the HW Zone to date. Infill drilling confirms continuity of high-grade gold mineralization within the HW and Main Zones, supporting modeled geometry and locally hosting visible gold: ALJ-25-032: 3.68 g/t Au over 4.5 m, including 17.40 g/t Au over 0.5 m, with visible gold;ALJ-25-031: Multiple stacked intercepts in both zones, highlighted by 11.40 g/t Au over 0.8 m (Main Zone);ALJ-25-033: 2.03 g/t Au over 5.8 m, including 10.40 g/t Au over 0.5 m, with visible gold. FW system continues to expand at depth, highlighting a growing secondary mineralized corridor: ALJ-25-018ext: 2.57 g/t Au over 2.0 m, including 4.63 g/t Au over 1.0 m, intersected at the bottom of the hole, supporting continued FW upside. Step-out drilling east of Aljo targeted areas of sparse historic drilling; geological observations are encouraging, with assay results pending. Brian Skanderbeg, President and CEO of GFG stated, “This second phase of results continues to reinforce our confidence in the Aljo gold system. Infill drilling is doing exactly what it should - confirming continuity of high-grade gold mineralization within the Main and HW Zones - while deeper drilling continues to expand the FW system and deliver new zones of gold mineralization.” “GFG is well financed and advancing an aggressive 2026 exploration program, including continued drilling at Aljo, step-out testing along strike and at depth, and a major regional push across the Goldarm Property supported by extensive sonic base-of-till sampling and diamond drilling of priority targets. Looking ahead, 2026 is shaping up to be a very active and exciting year for GFG. I would like to sincerely thank our shareholders, First Nation partners, local communities, and our dedicated exploration team in Timmins for their continued support as we operate in one of the world’s premier, infrastructure-rich gold camps—positioning the Company well to create value in a strong gold environment.” Next Steps – 2026 Exploration ProgramGFG is well-financed and positioned to advance an aggressive, multi-pronged exploration program in 2026, designed to both grow the Aljo Gold Project and unlock new gold discoveries across the broader Goldarm Property. Aljo Gold Project – Resource Growth FocusAt Aljo, the Company plans to continue systematic diamond drilling focused on infill and step-out targets with the objective of further delineating stacked HW, Main, and FW Zones. Drilling will prioritize expanding mineralization along strike and to depth, refining the geological model, and advancing the project toward resource-scale definition. Particular emphasis will be placed on continued testing of the HW system at depth and the emerging FW corridor, where recent drilling has outlined new zones of mineralization. In addition to infill drilling, GFG will pursue systematic step-out drilling along the eastern and western corridors to further expand the footprint of the Aljo gold system. Goldarm Property – Regional Discovery EngineIn parallel, GFG is advancing a district-scale regional exploration program across priority corridors on the Goldarm Property. Late in 2025, the Company initiated a 90-hole sonic drilling program focused on systematic base-of-till (“BOT”) and top-of-bedrock sa
