Vancouver, British Columbia — March 2, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Arya Resources Ltd. (TSXV: RBZ) has announced an update on its winter 2026 drill program at the Wedge Lake Gold Project in Saskatchewan’s La Ronge Gold Belt, revealing the intersection of a broad sulphide-bearing iron formation at depth below the T-6 Zone.
Six holes, encompassing 1,041 meters, were completed at the Twin and T-6 Zones.
According to the announcement, drillhole AR26-16 intersected 35.45 meters of sulphide-bearing iron formation and altered dacite.
The company reported the deeper interval had not been discovered and showed increased sulphide intensity and alteration compared to previously documented intervals.
Rasool Mohammad, CEO of Arya Resources, said the company’s objective with the 2026 program was to better understand the geometry and continuity of the iron formation units at Wedge Lake. He added that intersecting a broader and more intensely altered sulphide-bearing interval strengthens the company’s geological model and expands their understanding of the system. Mohammad said the company looks forward to reviewing the assay results as they become available and will continue advancing the program in a disciplined and systematic manner.
Recent drilling in the T-6 Zone area intersected several quartz-vein intervals, followed by a previously unknown, broad interval of sulphide-bearing iron formation at depth in drillhole AR26-16, drilled as a 25 m step-out behind AR25-10, completed during the 2025 drill program.
AR26-16 intersected a series of quartz veins at depth, which likely represent the down-dip extension of the veining intersected in the previous drillholes. This was followed by an unexpected sulphide-bearing iron formation.
The company reported this iron-formation interval had not been intersected in previous drilling at the T-6 Zone. Visually, the sulphidized iron formation appears similar to the iron-formation units intersected at the Twin Zone, located 1,000 m to the east, and may suggest that the T-6 Zone sits stratigraphically above the Twin Zone. The company said additional drilling will be required to fully understand the geology and the relationship between the T-6 and Twin Zones. These results represent a significant opportunity for continued exploration in the area.
AR26-16 intersected multiple quartz veins including:
1.23 m (99.76-100.99 m)
4.35 m (124.85-129.20 m)
5.32 m (172.98-178.30 m)
However, no visible gold was noted during logging.
Further down the hole, 35.45 m (178.30 m – 213.75 m) of sulphide-bearing iron formation and altered dacite was intersected. The interval is characterized by disseminated-to-semi-massive sulphides, strong silicification, sericite and chlorite alteration, and iron-formation host rocks. The increased thickness and alteration intensity observed at depth indicate a strong development of the sulphide iron-formation system in this portion of the T-6 Zone.
Drilling at the Twin Zone has extended targeted iron-formation horizons laterally and at depth based on geological logging. Visual observations confirm continued quartz veining, sulphide mineralization, and alteration within the system. This phase of drilling at the Twin Zone was designed as a combination of confirmation and exploration drilling.
Part of the program focused on confirming the geometry and continuity of previously reported iron-formation-hosted mineralization, while additional holes were designed to test for potential lateral and depth extensions. The Company believes this phase of drilling has achieved its geological objectives.
The remaining drillholes are being logged and sampled. The Company expects to provide a further update following completion of logging and receipt of assay results.
