Southern Cross Gold Extends into Rising Sun Deep drills 0.3 metres @ 1,466 g/t gold

[PDF] Press release: Southern Cross Gold Extends into Rising Sun Deep drills 0.3 metres @ 1,466 g/t gold

Vancouver, Canada / Melbourne, Australia, 25.08.2026 (PresseBox) - Southern Cross Gold Consolidated Ltd (“SXGC”, “SX2” or the “Company”) (TSX:SXGC) (ASX:SX2) (OTCQX:SXGCF) (Frankfurt: MV3.F) - https://www.commodity-tv.com/play/southern-cross-gold-24-drill-rigs-operating-soon-for-the-maiden-resource-at-sunday-creek/ - announces results from five drill holes at the 100%-owned Sunday Creek Gold-Antimony Project in Victoria, comprising the deepest west-to-east drill holes under Rising Sun (Figures 1 to 6). Four deep holes, including one wedge (SDDSC230W1), tested Rising Sun at depth.

Four High Level Takeaways:

Deepest drilling beneath Rising Sun returns very high grades. SDDSC230 intersected 3 m @ 1,466.7 g/t AuEq (1,466.4 g/t Au, 0.1% Sb) from 886.7 m, hosting an individual assay of 0.1 m @ 4,500 g/t Au, the fourth-highest single gold assay returned at Sunday Creek to date. The composite ranks as the 12th best composite intersection drilled at the project. SDDSC230 returned four further composites in the same intersection, headlined by 1.3 m @ 120.7 g/t AuEq from 987.1 m hosting individual assays of 428.0 g/t Au and 293.0 g/t Au, together with 4.3 m @ 9.0 g/t AuEq from 858.6 m, 1.0 m @ 33.0 g/t AuEq from 899.1 m and 0.6 m @ 52.2 g/t AuEq from 906.9 m.

High-grade mineralization keeps growing as drilling steps out. The five holes added three composite intersections exceeding 100 g/t Au, four between 50 and 100 g/t Au and eight individual gold assays above 50 g/t Au, lifting Sunday Creek to 96 composite intersections exceeding 100 g/t Au. Grade tenor continues to improve with depth at Rising Sun. Four of the eight individual very high-grade gold assays exceed 100 g/t Au and two exceed 400 g/t Au.

Grade continuity confirmed down-plunge and at depth. SDDSC230’s high-grade intersection lines up with mineralization previously reported 166 m up-dip in SDDSC144 (3.6 m @ 118.0 g/t AuEq), confirming continuity of the RS19 vein set, while SDDSC231, the deepest east-to-west step-out drilled to date, tied in beside control hole SDDSC152 with high grades on either side. SDDSC231 returned 0.4 m @ 82.1 g/t AuEq (82.1 g/t Au) from 823.3 m and 0.4 m @ 24.4 g/t AuEq (24.3 g/t Au) from 1031.7 m, the deepest mineralization intersected at Rising Sun to date.

The mineralized system continues to expand. Step-outs of roughly 100 m to 120 m on the RS50, RS60 and RS18 vein sets, 50 m on RS40 and 150 m in SDDSC231 extended mineralization laterally and at depth, returning high-grade intercepts across the newly tested positions. In total the holes tested approximately 200 m of lateral extent and approximately 300 vertical metres, with two vein sets intersected outside the current Exploration Target. SDDSC205 returned 0.5 m @ 60.4 g/t AuEq (60.4 g/t Au) from 852.4 m, including 0.17 m @ 175.0 g/t Au, from the footwall of the system, and wedge SDDSC230W1 returned 0.4 m @ 88.6 g/t AuEq (88.6 g/t Au) from 842.8 m.

Michael Hudson, President & CEO states: “Of the five mineralized bodies discovered at Sunday Creek, Rising Sun is so far the highest grade. These holes show Rising Sun continues to deliver very high grades into previously untested areas at depth where we traditionally see Victoria epizonal deposits shine. SDDSC230 has delivered one of the top intersections drilled at Sunday Creek: 0.3 m @ 1,466.4 g/t gold,

including an individual assay of 0.1 m @ 4,500 g/t gold, from the deepest west-to-east drilling completed beneath Rising Sun to date. That single assay is the fourth highest returned at Sunday Creek and the composite intersection ranks twelfth drilled on the project. That hole is not a one sample story. SDDSC230 and its wedge intersected seven vein sets and stepped out 100 m to 120 m on the RS50, RS60 and RS18 vein sets, while SDDSC231, our deepest west-to-east step-out yet, tied in beside a control hole and confirmed grade continuity a further 150 m out. SDDSC231 returned 0.4 m @ 82.1 g/t gold from 823.3 m and 0.4 m @ 24.3 g/t gold from 1,031.7 m, the deepest mineralization we have intersected at Rising Sun, and the wedge SDDSC230W1 returned 0.4 m @ 88.6 g/t gold from 842.8 m. What also stands out is not only the headline number, it is the consistency behind it. This intersection sits 166 m down-dip of previously reported SDDSC144, which returned 3.6 m @ 118.0 g/t AuEq.

“Together holes reported here tested approximately 200 m of lateral extent and approximately 300 vertical metres of largely untested ground in Rising Sun at depth, returning three composite intersections above 100 g/t gold, four between 50 g/t and 100 g/t gold and eight individual gold assays above 50 g/t, and intersecting vein sets that sit outside our current Exploration Target. Even SDDSC205, which tracked the footwall of the system rather than drilling through it, returned 0.5 m @ 60.4 g/t gold from 852.4 m including 0.2 m @ 175.0 g/t gold, and we have a wedge planned to test the full width at that depth.

“The grades are high, the step-outs are large, and the system is becoming more predictable the deeper we drill it. With eleven rigs turning, results pending from 76 holes and our 200,000 m program running through to Q1 2027, Rising Sun continues to prove and grow in scale with every set of results.”
