Banyan Gold Continues to Extend Powerline Mineralization Beyond Existing Resource and Between Deposits, AurMac, Yukon, Canada
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / December 9, 2025 / Banyan Gold Corp. (the "Company" or "Banyan") (TSXV:BYN)(OTCQB:BYAGF) continues to expand and upgrade the Powerline Deposit ("Powerline") at its AurMac Project ("AurMac"), First Nation of Na-Cho Nyäk Dun Traditional Territory, Yukon. The diamond drillholes reported here intersected new high-grade domains extending Powerline mineralization to a new area southwest of the main deposit and demonstrating the continuity of high-grade in the central Powerline deposit and between the Airstrip Deposit.
Highlights:
AX-25-690 - 1.15 g/t Au over 10.5m within 0.74 g/t Au over 45.5m, including high-grade intervals of 6.82 g/t Au over 1.9m and 9.75 g/t Au over 1.0m
AX-25-694 - 4.27 g/t Au over 2.0m within 0.62 g/t Au over 28.6m
AX-25-724 - 4.60 g/t Au over 5.9m within 0.64 g/t Au over 55.4m; including high-grade interval of 14.90 g/t Au over 1.5m
AX-25-728 - 0.86 g/t au over 16.5m and 1.03 g/t au over 6.8m
AX-25-741 - 1.97 g/t Au over 3.3m within 0.29 g/t Au over 78.2m
AX-25-746 - 1.70 g/t Au over 5.7 m within 0.92 g/t Au over 18.8 m
AX-25-748 - 3.41 g/t Au over 0.5m and 0.65 g/t Au over 12.2m within 0.30 g/t Au over 89.1m
Banyan Gold has completed its 2025 drilling program with 178 holes over 42,700 m completed; with the last core shipped to the assay lab from camp last week. Thank you to our team, service providers, suppliers, consultants, and partners for a productive year.
"We have successfully intersected high-grade intervals at the Resource pit edge with additional sheeted veins hosting coarse sulphosalts, sulphides and visible gold in follow-up step outs 100 and 400 m from known mineralisation, with assay results pending (holes AX-25-772 and -779 respectively, Figure 5)," said Tara Christie, Banyan President and CEO. "Our new geologically supported mineralisation model continues to provide opportunities to upgrade portions of our deposit by converting waste blocks to high-grade ore, reducing strip ratios within the conceptual pit and by expanding the mineralized envelope to add ounces."

Continued drilling at Powerline has successfully confirmed mineralized domains in the core of Powerline (Figure 3), refined and extended mineralization between the Powerline and Airstrip main pits (Figure 2) and extended mineralization with potential to convert waste blocks in the southwest of Powerline (Figure 5).


Gold mineralization in southwest Powerline is consistent with mineralization seen in the core of Powerline; gold mineralization is associated with discordant sheeted quartz veins hosting sulphosalts and sulphides (predominantly sphalerite, arsenopyrite) (Figure 3) which is preferentially hosted in silicified/altered host rocks.
