Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 1, 2025) - Canagold Resources Ltd. (TSX: CCM) (OTCQB: CRCUF) (FSE: CANA) ("Canagold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce positive results from antimony (Sb) flotation testing for its 100% owned New Polaris gold-antimony project located in northwest British Columbia, Canada.

Antimony Flotation Locked Cycle Test Results

High quality and High recovery Sb-Au Concentrate

• Sb-Au Concentrate assaying 59.1 % Sb and 98.3 gpt Au
• 93.1 % Sb recovery in Sb-Au concentrate and overall, 91.8% Au recovery in the combined Au and Sb-Au concentrates

"The Feasibility Study ("FS") completed in July 2025 has already demonstrated exceptional economics, with low Capex and low AISC for the New Polaris Gold-Antimony Project," stated Canagold's Chief Executive Officer, Catalin Kilofliski. "Although antimony mining was included in the FS, no revenue from antimony has been accounted for at this stage. These new results highlight the project's ability to produce a very high-grade gold-antimony concentrate, which has the potential to create significant additional value on top of the already outstanding economics."

Flotation testing commenced in April 2025 at Blue Coast Research Ltd. in Parksville, B.C., utilizing a 110-kilogram composite sample derived from 47 diamond drill core samples across 17 drill holes in the high-grade antimony zone. This zone is delineated in the January 22, 2025, resource model, referenced in the Image 1 below:

Critical Metals/Antimony

• A total of 5,630 tonnes of Sb grading 0.6% is included in the Company's Indicated MRE dated April 2, 2025
• A total of 5,173 tonnes Sb is included in the FS mine plans

The Feasibility Study does not currently account for any revenue from antimony, as the process flowsheet outlined in the study was specifically designed to produce a bulk sulphide concentrate.

While antimony has been known to occur at New Polaris since the early mining activities of the 1940s and 1950s, its economic importance has increased significantly in recent years due to global supply constraints and sharply rising prices.

The Company will continue further metallurgical test work and economic assessments to evaluate the potential for including antimony revenue in the project's financial model.

Should future studies confirm its viability, the addition of antimony revenue will further enhance overall project economics, particularly since the associated mining costs are already largely supported by gold production. Nonetheless, there can be no assurances that ongoing work will ultimately support this outcome.
