A2Gold Expands Eastside Land Position

TONOPAH, Nevada – March 11, 2026 – A2Gold Corp. has recently staked an additional 24 unpatented lode mining claims, expanding its land holdings at the 100%-owned Eastside Gold Project in Esmeralda County, Nevada. The expansion comes on the heels of a promising geophysical survey completed in November 2025, indicating significant exploration potential in the area.

The newly acquired claims stretch over approximately 201 hectares (496 acres) adjacent to the existing Eastside claim block. These areas were identified during the recent geophysical program, which unearthed multiple anomalies along the eastern and southeastern borders of the known mineralized system. This claim expansion is pivotal for reinforcing A2Gold's control over the mineralized trend of Eastside and securing additional exploration avenues along significant structural corridors believed to be conducive to oxide gold mineralization characteristic of the Walker Lane Trend.

Peter Gianulis, CEO of A2Gold, shared his enthusiasm regarding the results of the geophysical survey, commenting, "The findings highlighted several compelling targets on the fringes of our current claims. By staking these additional claims, we’re ensuring that we maintain control over the larger mineralized system. This positions us to systematically explore these exciting new targets as part of our ongoing exploration strategy."

The newly acquired claims are set to play a key role in the company’s exploration agenda for 2026, which includes:

• - Conducting follow-up geological mapping and surface sampling over the newly staked territories.
• - Integrating geophysical data with existing drilling and geochemical datasets.
• - Drilling to test the prioritized targets identified through the geophysical review.

A2Gold's Eastside project stands as the company's flagship initiative, representing one of the largest undeveloped gold resources within Nevada's Walker Lane Trend, renowned for its rich mining history with substantial gold and silver deposits. With promising initial metallurgical assessments suggesting that both oxide and sulfide gold mineralization could be suitable for heap leaching, A2Gold is poised for significant advancement in this mining-friendly jurisdiction.

As the company moves forward, they anticipate these developments will not only enhance their exploration activities but also contribute to their long-term growth strategies in the mining sector. The careful planning and execution of these initiatives are expected to yield valuable insights and opportunities within the expansive and resource-rich regions of Nevada.

In closing, with the measured expansion of their land assets and an emphasis on innovative exploration techniques, A2Gold remains committed to tapping into the full potential of its Eastside Gold Project. Stakeholders and investors alike are expected to closely monitor the outcomes of the upcoming exploration phases, as A2Gold continues to solidify its presence in the competitive landscape of gold mining.
