Highlights

Epic Gold reported broad gold intercepts from its 2026 Fenton drill campaign.

The Company completed 4,259 meters of diamond drilling at the project.

Drilling intersected broad gold mineralization across approximately 1.2km of strike length.

High-grade intervals were confirmed within the Everest System and new Weller target.

Results support the potential for a larger structurally controlled gold system.

The company continues advancing exploration within Québec’s Abitibi Greenstone Belt.

Epic Gold Corp. (CSE: EPG) (OTCQB: NFLDF | FSE: 634) is gaining exploration momentum in Québec’s Abitibi Greenstone Belt after reporting broad gold intercepts and high-grade zones from its ongoing 2026 drilling campaign at the Fenton Gold Project. The latest results continue to expand mineralization beyond historically defined areas and reinforce the potential for a larger structurally controlled gold system across the project.

Fenton Drilling Highlights Growing Scale Potential

Epic Gold recently reported initial assay results from 10-hole diamond drilling at the Fenton Gold Project. The 4,259 meters program targeted structural, geological, and geophysical zones associated with historically reported high-grade gold mineralization.

Among the key results, hole FTN-26-002 intersected 5.85 meters grading 4.65 g/t gold within the Everest System, including 2.00 meters grading 8.83 g/t gold. Hole FTN-26-003, drilled at the Weller target outside the known Fenton Main deposit, returned 77.05 meters grading 0.54 g/t gold and included multiple higher-grade intervals.

At the Fenton Main Zone, hole FTN-26-005 intersected 76.80 meters grading 1.23 g/t gold, including 26.70 meters grading 2.25 g/t gold. Drilled ~1.2km along strike from the Fenton Main Zone, Hole FTN-26-006 intersected broad zones of mineralization including localized higher-grade intervals reaching 10.50 g/t gold.

Additional drilling at Highland Park identified another mineralized zone, with FTN-26-009 returning 12.10 meters grading 0.56 g/t gold, while FTN-26-010 intersected 0.60 meters grading 10.20 g/t gold.

Expanding a Structurally Controlled Gold System

The latest drilling campaign extended mineralization across several target areas, including Fenton Main, Everest, Weller, Highland Park, and Dalmore, over an approximate 1.2km strike length. According to the company, the results support the presence of a larger structurally controlled gold system that remains open for further expansion.

At the Weller target, drilling tested interpreted electromagnetic (EM) anomalies north of Fenton Main and identified potential for additional mineralized shoots and parallel zones within a relatively underexplored structural corridor.

Strategic Position in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt

Epic Gold’s projects are positioned within the Abitibi Greenstone Belt, one of the world’s most established gold-producing regions and a major Archean geological formation spanning Ontario and Québec. The district has recorded more than 100 years of continuous production and over 200 million ounces of gold produced historically. The belt also hosts volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) systems and base metal mineralization.

The company’s project portfolio includes Fenton, Wilson, Benoist, and Hawkins, each associated with different mineral system styles and targeting criteria. Fenton is linked to orogenic and intrusive-related mineralization, while Wilson, Benoist, and Hawkins combine orogenic and VMS characteristics. Epic Gold’s exploration strategy incorporates this broader structural and geological framework while evaluating individual targets.

Ongoing Exploration and Target Development

To support ongoing exploration and future drilling activities, the company has finalised high-resolution drone magnetic and Very Low Frequency - Electromagnetic (VLF-EM) surveys at its Fenton and Wilson projects in Québec. The surveys aimed to identify additional target areas and improve geological understanding of known high-grade gold zones. Results from the geophysical work, along with ongoing field programs, would help shape future drill campaigns focused on resource expansion and new discoveries.
