Banyan Gold Intersects More High-Grade Mineralization in Powerline with Increased Instances of Visible Gold, Yukon, Canada

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / February 17, 2026 / Banyan Gold Corp. (the "Company" or "Banyan") (TSXV:BYN)(OTCQB:BYAGF) is pleased to announce it has intersected high-grade gold ("Au") mineralization and visible gold ("VG") in numerous intervals in central Powerline Deposit ("Powerline") at its AurMac Project ("AurMac"), Yukon, Canada.

Powerline Highlights:

AX-25-798 - 1.91 g/t Au over 11.4m,2.00 g/t Au over 25.0m,4.59 g/t Au over 5.0m, 1.44 g/t Au over 5.0m, and 1.12 g/t Au over 7.5m, all within 0.61 g/t Au over 239.2m; includes high grade intervals of 26.61 g/t Au over 0.6m, 14.00 g/t Au over 1.5m, and 18.10 g/t Au over 1.5m;
AX-25-805 - 1.32 g/t Au over 8.7m, within 0.39 g/t Au over 103.7m;
AX-25-810 - 0.92 g/t Au over 15.9m, within 0.68 g/t Au over 40.1m;
AX-25-816 - 0.67 g/t Au over 32.9m; includes 22.11 g/t Au over 0.5m,
AX-25-822 - 3.56 g/t Au over 2.3m, within 0.49 g/t Au over 66.6m; includes high-grade interval of 11.65 g/t Au over 0.4m;
AS-25-823 - 1.02 g/t Au over 10.0m, AND, 3.04 g/t Au over 6.1m, within 0.59 g/t Au over 57.3m;

"These high-grade intersections from Powerline continue to strengthen the continuity and to define the high-grade portions of the deposit, supporting the refined geologic and mineralization model, the upcoming Resource update and Preliminary Economic Assessment," said Tara Christie, President and CEO. "Visible gold associated with high-grade intervals was identified in every drill hole in this release across an over 500m long zone of the center of Powerline (from AX-25-810 to AX-25-805). These results highlight the continued potential for expanding near surface, high-grade mineralization."

Figure 2: Visible gold intersections in drillholes from Central Powerline. Top left - AX-25-798 - 94.0m. Top Right - AX-25-805 - 154.3m. Middle Left - AX-25-822 - 106.2m. Middle Right - AX-25-816 - 90.0m. Bottom Left - AX-25-810 - 184.3m. Bottom Right - AX-25-823 - 86.7m. While visible gold at Powerline is typically (but not always) indicative high-grade intervals, the potential for heterogeneous distribution of gold in a recovered drill core and analyte material that is processed by the laboratory, means not all instances of visible gold will be reflected in high-grade assay results.

Figure 3: Cross-section A-B in Central Powerline (See Figure 1). High-grade mineralization in AX-25-798, -810 and -822 has the potential to extend mineralized domains just below the conceptual pit boundary from the 2025 MRE. Magenta outlines show preliminary potential mineralized zones. Once refined, these domains will aid in better constraining estimations of the distribution of gold in the Mineral Resource Estimate.

Figure 4: High-grade gold mineralization in AX-25-798 hosted in large cross-cutting quartz vein and associated centimetre-scale sheeted veins. Visible gold grains intergrown with Bi-sulphosalts in quartz veins are typical of high-grade mineralization in Powerline (See Figure 2).

Figure 5: Cross-section 467100mE in Powerline (See Figure 1). Mineralization in AX-25-823 has the potential to extend high-grade mineralization, convert waste blocks and extend the conceptual pit wall. Magenta outlines show preliminary potential mineralized zones. Once refined, these domains will aid in better constraining estimations of the distribution of gold in the Mineral Resource Estimate.

Figure 6: High-grade mineralization in AX-25-823 associated with sheeted quartz veins cross-cutting metasedimentary rocks of the Hyland Group. Sheeted veins contain visible gold grains intergrown with Bi-sulphosalts and arsenopyrite.

Figure 7: Cross-section 467250mE Figure 1 in Powerline. High-grade gold mineralization intersected in multiple drill holes highlights the continuity and potential for down-dip extensions of mineralized domains and convert waste blocks. Magenta outlines show preliminary potential mineralized zones. Once refined, these domains will aid in better constraining estimations of the distribution of gold in the Mineral Resource Estimate.
