Banyan Gold Intersects 1.05 g/t Gold over 52.8 Metres and Bonanza-Grade Gold at Powerline Deposit, AurMac, Yukon, Canada
VANCOUVER, BC, 17.09.2026 (PresseBox) - Banyan Gold Corp. (the "Company" or "Banyan") (TSX-V: BYN) (OTCQB: BYAGF) - https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/banyan-gold-corp/ - is pleased to report new results from western portions of the Powerline Deposit (“Powerline”), AurMac Project (“AurMac”), Yukon, Canada. Drillhole AX-26-892B intersected 1.05 g/t gold (“Au”) over 52.8 metres (“m”) and drillhole AX-26-891 intersected 149.14 g/t Au over 0.4 m, within a wider interval of 0.56 g/t Au over 169.2 m. The results demonstrate the potential to improve grade and continuity in known mineralized domains on the margins of Powerline’s near-surface higher-grade cores. The drilling forms part of Banyan’s ongoing 2026 drill program focused on resource conversion, expansion and delineation of higher-grade mineralized domains within and adjacent to the current Mineral Resource.
Highlights from Powerline:
AX-26-873 – 1.18 g/t Au over 8.3 m, within 0.51 g/t Au over 50.5 m
AX-26-876 – 1.15 g/t Au over 13.9 m within 0.44 g/t Au over 51.5 m, including 16.5 g/t Au over 0.3 m
AX-26-878 - 1.37 g/t Au over 11.8m, including high-grade of 7.37 g/t Au over 0.5m and 9.78 g/t Au over 1.0 m
AX-26-891 – 149.14 g/t Au over 0.4m and 0.63 g/t Au over 19.9 m, all within 0.56 g/t Au over 169.2m
For context, the 0.56 g/t Au over 169.2 m composite in AX-26-891 is materially influenced by the 149.14 g/t Au over 0.4 m interval. Excluding that interval, the remaining 168.8 m averages approximately 0.21 g/t Au with the lower mineralized zone of 0.63 g/t Au over 19.9m. High-densities of extensional quartz veins are present throughout the full interval.
AX-26-892B – 1.05 g/t Au over 52.8 m, within 0.87 g/t Au over 69.7 m
AX-26-895 – 1.01 g/t Au over 17.2 m within 0.73 g/t Au over 26.6 m; includes high-grade of 6.72 g/t Au over 0.6 m and 10.30 g/t Au over 0.5 m
“These results demonstrate the opportunity to improve the grade, extent and continuity of mineralized domains along the current margins of Powerline’s near-surface higher-grade cores,” stated Tara Christie, President and CEO. “Hole AX-26-892B returned 1.05 g/t Au over 52.8 m, while AX-26-891 intersected several higher-grade intervals, including 149.14 g/t Au over 0.4 m. Together, the results support our strategy of targeting areas that could improve the grade profile and confidence of the AurMac resource. Our 2026 and planned 2027 drilling will continue to test the extent and expansion potential of higher-grade domains.”
Lithological domains at Powerline are dominated by metasedimentary rocks of various compositions, typically mica-chlorite schists with varying calcareous content. Domains shown in this section are: CLSR_4 and 5 – chlorite-sericite schist; CSCH_1 and 3 – calcareous schist; and sch_2 – heterogeneous schist. Altered host rocks with intense silicification and meta-greenstones are preferential host for extensional quartz veining (Figures 9 and 11).
In addition to the AurMac Project, the Company holds the Hyland Gold Project, located 70 km northeast of Watson Lake, Yukon, along the southeast end of the Tintina Gold Belt (the “Hyland Project”) in the Traditional Territory of the Kaska Nations, closest to the Liard First Nation and Daylu Dena Council. The Hyland Project represents a sediment hosted, structurally controlled, intrusion-related gold deposit, within a large land package (over 125 sq km), accessible by a network of existing gravel access roads. The Hyland Project MRE comprises an Indicated Mineral Resource of 337 thousand (“K”) ounces (“oz”) of gold (“Au”) and 2.63 million (“M”) oz of silver (“Ag”) (11.3 M tonnes at 0.93 g/t Au and 7.27 g/t Ag), and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 118 Koz of Au and 0.86 Moz Ag (3.9 M tonnes at 0.95 g/t Au and 6.94 g/t Ag) (as defined in the 2014 CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources & Mineral Reserves incorporated by reference into NI 43‑101) effective September 1, 2025 and with a technical report filed on SEDAR+ on October 27, 2025.
Banyan also holds the Nitra Gold Project and Seattle-Goodman Creek Project which are grassroots exploration projects located in the Mayo Mining district, adjacent to the AurMac Gold Project. These properties lie in the northern part of the Selwyn Basin and are underlain by metaclastic rocks of the Late Proterozoic Yusezyu Formation of the Hyland Group, similar to lithologies hosting portions of the AurMac Project. Middle Cretaceous Tombstone Plutonic suite intrusions occur along the properties including the Morrison Creek and Minto Creek stocks. The properties are 100% owned by Banyan and cover over 530 sq km. The properties are accessible by road along the Silver Trail Highway, South McQuesten Road and a network of other smaller roads across the properties.
