Lavras Gold Returns Broad Continuous Zones of Gold Mineralization from Ongoing Fazenda - Butiá Drilling in BrazilResults demonstrate broad, continuous zones of gold mineralization consistent with the geological model for the Lavras do Sul alkaline intrusive complex.Significant intersections include: 25BT068: 190.00 m at 1.01 g/t Au from surface (incl. 21.00 m at 2.25 g/t Au) 25BT067: 65.00 m at 0.88 g/t Au from 23.00 m (incl. 1.00 m at 16.05 g/t Au; and incl. 2.00 m at 11.28 g/t Au)25BT063: 21.00 m at 3.12 g/t Au from 42.00 m (incl. 1.00 m at 47.73 g/t Au; and incl. 1.00 m at 5.11 g/t Au) 50 diamond drill holes (16,714m) have been completed at Butiá (33 holes, 9,791m) and Fazenda (17 holes, 6,923m) in 2025.A 20,000-metre drilling program is planned for 2026 to advance the Fazenda/Butiá Project and drill test district-scale opportunities.Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - January 5, 2026) - Lavras Gold Corp. (TSXV: LGC) (OTCQX: LGCFF) ("Lavras Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce new assay results from its ongoing diamond drilling program on the Butiá Gold Deposit ("Butiá") and adjoining Fazenda do Posto Gold Discovery ("Fazenda"), together described as the Fazenda/Butiá Project at the Lavras do Sul Project ("LDS Project") in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Today's results include 13 diamond drill holes completed at Butiá (10 holes) and Fazenda (3 holes) completed since the previous disclosure of drill results (see news release dated September 8, 2025), which continue to confirm the strength and continuity of the alkaline intrusive-related gold system extending across the district."Today's results are consistent with what we have seen across this system," said Hemdat Sawh, Interim CEO and CFO. "Broad mineralized intervals containing high-grade shoots continue to build the resource base at the Fazenda/Butiá Project and enhance our understanding of its geological drivers. These intersections feed directly into the geological models that will underpin the next phases of resource estimation and project development."Our drilling since September 2025 has been highly productive. By combining infill drilling, step-outs, and targeted geological drilling, we are simultaneously improving resource-classification confidence, expanding mineralization, and deepening our understanding of structures, alteration, metallurgical domains and mineralization vectors. This integrated approach is critical as we position the Fazenda/Butiá Project for a future development decision, while continuing to unlock the broader district-scale potential."Table 1: Significant Drilling Results, Fazenda/Butiá ProjectDrill HoleFrom(m)To(m)Interval(m)Grade(g/t Au)Comment25BT07248.069.021.01.100Perthitic GraniteIncluding51.052.01.09.753Perthitic GraniteIncluding60.061.01.02.303Perthitic Granite25BT0680.0190.0190.01.014Saprolite/Perthitic Granite/EpisyeniteIncluding117.0138.021.02.247Episyenite25BT06723.088.065.00.877Perthitic GraniteIncluding41.042.01.016.050Perthitic GraniteIncluding51.053.02.011.278Perthitic Granite25BT066211.0286.075.00.743Perthitic Granite/EpisyeniteIncluding238.0243.05.05.651Episyenite25BT06563.077.014.02.607Perthitic GraniteIncluding63.067.04.08.291Perthitic Granite112.0210.098.00.577Perthitic Granite/EpisyeniteIncluding140.0148.08.01.268EpisyeniteIncluding158.0161.03.01.093EpisyeniteIncluding170.0184.014.01.006Episyenite25BT0640.059.059.00.813EpisyeniteIncluding8.019.011.01.056EpisyeniteIncluding27.029.02.01.127EpisyeniteIncluding35.056.021.01.050Episyenite25BT06342.063.021.03.117Perthitic Granite/EpisyeniteIncluding54.055.01.047.733EpisyeniteIncluding59.060.01.05.110Perthitic Granite25FP0480.033.033.00.799Perthitic Granite/EpisyeniteIncluding11.012.01.018.067Perthitic GraniteNote: All intervals are reported as down-hole lengths; true widths are not yet known.

Results showed wide envelopes of continuous mineralization with periodic higher-grade intersections related to zones of more intense brecciation, alteration and generally higher sulphide percentage. Drilling also continues to enhance geological, structural, and metallurgical understanding across the Fazenda/Butiá Pr
