Toronto, Ontario — January 19, 2026 — Leads & Copy — ONGold Resources Ltd. (TSXV: ONAU) (OTCQB: ONGRF) has announced final results from its nine-hole, 2,169m diamond drilling program in the Gold Ridge area of the Ti-pi-ha-kaa-ning (“TPK”) project in Northern Ontario.
All assays have been received from the Fall 2025 drill program with new copper (Cu), silver (Ag), and gold (Au) results. The TPK claims are located on the regional communities’ winter road network, connecting to the Musselwhite Gold Mine access road north of Pickle Lake.
Key highlights from the drilling program include confirmation of a pervasively mineralized and structurally complex system in the Gold Ridge area, high-grade gold, copper, and silver intersections, and the extension of known gold mineralization 1.0 km north of the Discovery Zone by drill holes GR-25-014 and GR-25-015.
Drill hole GR-25-012 identified a massive sulphide zone at a vertical depth of 225 m from surface in the West Discovery Zone with significant copper and silver results. There is significant potential for further discovery across the ~1,500-metre gap between the West Discovery Zone and the Discovery Zone, an area with no previous drilling.
The company interprets the results of this program, along with previous exploration results, to indicate the presence of a large, intrusive-hosted, orogenic copper-gold system.
West Discovery Copper-Silver-Gold Zone
GR-25-012: 3.06% Cu, 60.3 g/t Ag and 1.5 g/t Au over a core length of 1.5 m (318.5 to 320.0 m) including 11.1% Cu, 218 g/t Ag and 4.45 g/t Au over 0.40 m (319.2 to 319.6 m) in an east trending shear zone.
GR-25-013: 2.95% Cu, 42.4 g/t Ag and 1.79 g/t Au over a core length of 0.3 m (157.8 to 158.1m).
GR-25-013: 0.96% Cu, 20.6 g/t Ag and 0.97 g/t Au over 0.4 m (294.6 to 295.0m) that aligns on strike 110 m east of the high-grade copper zone intersected in hole GR-25-012.
Discovery Zone
GR-25-011: Previously reported intercept of 19.39 g/t Au and 1.0 g/t Ag over a core length of 8.2 m (11.8 to 20.0 m), including 308 g/t Au and 14.6 g/t Ag over 0.3 m (11.8 m to 12.1 m) (see Press Release dated November 4, 2025).
Kyle Stanfield, CEO of ONGold, said the identification of a massive sulphide zone in the Gold Ridge – West Discovery area containing high grade copper and silver substantially adds to the previously announced high grade gold Gold Ridge Discovery Zone results.
Stanfield added that with just a few drill holes in these areas, the company has positively identified high grade gold and high-grade copper-silver-gold mineralization near the head of the Keeley Lake gold grains dispersal train, and is excited to move forward with a detailed geological compilation as it looks to permit a wider drilling program for 2026.
To advance exploration on the TPK property ONGold intends to permit and conduct various work programs including:
A ground electromagnetic and gravity survey over the West Discovery Zone, to attempt to identify extensions of the “Copper Zone” and possible structural controls of the gold/copper mineralization.
A gravity survey will be completed over the Discovery Zone to better define structure and geology.
Geological and structural geology compilations are planned for the Gold Ridge and Big Dam areas, as well the recently staked claims.
Field exploration programs including additional till sampling, mapping, prospecting, historical core re-logging, and soil orientation surveys are planned in the Gold Ridge, New Growth and Big Dam areas.
Further drill testing of the Discovery, West Discovery and Big Dam areas, as well as priority targets as may be identified by the field programs.
