Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 19, 2025) - Signature Resources Ltd. (TSXV: SGU) (OTCQB: SGGTF) (FSE: 3S30) ("Signature" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of the spring field program conducted in May, 2025. The field program focused on five locations (Figure 1. 2025 Sampling Program Areas) within the defined Lingman Lake Gold Mine. These surface programs continue to help delineate surface expressions of mineralization on the property. These programs are very cost effective and beneficial for further developing our understanding of the deposit and designing future exploration activity. The company collected 111 samples during this program and nearly a quarter of the samples returned assay values of 0.10 grams per tonne of gold ("g/t Au") or greater. Table 1, Sampling Results, provides sample locations and assay results.

Area 1
The program in Area 1 sampled the North Gold Zone immediately east of the north-south trending diabase dike which bisects the Lingman Lake property. This work was following up on the 2024 sampling program and to investigate a possible mineralized envelope between Central Zone 'B' and North Zone 'A'. A 14 metre ("m") transect, adjacent to the eastern contact of the dike, consisted of 13 channel cuts. The two most northerly samples returned gold values of 0.14 grams per tonne of gold (g/t Au) and 0.21 g/t Au and appear to be in the North Zone mineralized envelope. A grab sample returned a value of 8.26 g/t Au. This sample was near the north edge of the outcrop area and 1 m northeast of a 2024 channel sample that yielded a value of 11.52 g/t Au. The northern edge of this outcrop appears to delineate the southern edge of the North Zone. In this area it appears to occupy a trough, marked by heavy vegetation and likely relates to recessive weathering of the North Zone. The trough can be traced 600 m to the east and 400 m to the west and can be a useful topographic linear for prospecting.
Area 2
This area was selected to investigate the section between the South Zone and 11650 Zone immediately east of the dike. Seven channel samples were collected in the vicinity of old trenches. Values were generally low, however channel samples of 0.8 m and 1.0 m in length yield gold values of 0.24 g/t au and 0.54 g/t Au. 60 m northeast of where the channels were collected, within the South Zone, three grab samples returned gold values of 0.67, 4.31 and 9.91 g/t Au in silicified mafic volcanics, see Area 2 Northeast.
Area 3
Located adjacent to the west contract of the diabase dike, Area 3 investigated the strike projection of the South Zone west of the dike. In our 2024 drill program holes LM 24-09 and LM 24-10 intersected gold mineralization of 1.81 g/t Au over 51 m and 1.80 g/t Au over 34 m respectively. In an attempt to locate the surface expression of these drill hole intercepts, outcrop exposure in the general area was prospected and sampled. Much like the North Zone, actual location of the South Zone appears to be located where the southern edge of the outcrop dives into a recessively weathered trough suggesting that sulphide oxidation weathered down the exposure. Channel samples were collected immediately north of the trough and returned low gold values.
Area 4
Area 4 is located adjacent to the West contact of the transecting dike and was selected to follow-up on a 2024 sample that yielded 5.45 g/t Au as well as a small channel cut reporting 2.31 g/t Au. Eleven channel samples were collected across a 4 m wide outcrop of which four returned values ranging from 0.11 to 1.63 g/t Au. This is a new target area warranting further work as it is interpreted to represent a surface expression of the Central Zone "B".
Area 5
This section of exposed outcrop lies 66 metres northeast of the shaft. Sampling efforts focused on the space between Central Zone 'A' and Central Zone 'B", aiming to assess gold distribution across the interzonal corridor. Outcrop is the typical mixture of mafic volcanic rocks which are variably rusty and/or carbonatized with intercalated narrow quartz-feldspar porphyry ("QFP"). This large area is characterized by a complicated network of narrow QFP dikes and sills within the mafic volcanic rocks. The QFP are often folded with fold noses plunging moderately to the west. Two north-sough transects consisting of 42 individual samples, measuring between 0.5 and 1.0 metre in length were collected across a 33 m wide area. Of these, eight samples returned gold grades ranging from 0.13 to 1.27 g/t Au. A detailed mapping and sampling program is warranted for this area to work out the structural elements within the Lingman Lake deposit.

The field program was very successful in advancing our knowledge of the identified gold zones within the Lingman Lake Gold Project. It is not surprising to have lower reported gold grades at the surface, especially with the recessive nature of the weathered zones in Area 1 and Area 3. Field work continues to add to the database providing refined surface placement of the zones and their projections along strike. This has direct implications on drill hole placement and geophysical tracing of the zones.
