Proven Strategic Investment Fuels Provenance Gold’s Eldorado Project

In the high-stakes world of precious metal exploration, securing strategic investment can be a game-changer. For Provenance Gold, a recent influx of capital is set to accelerate the development of its Eldorado Project in eastern Oregon. This infusion of funds not only validates the project’s potential but also underscores the growing investor confidence in North American gold exploration, particularly in politically stable jurisdictions.

Eldorado Project: A Golden Opportunity

The Eldorado Project, located approximately 60 kilometers northwest of Vale in Malheur County, Oregon, is a district-scale land position totaling 7,915 acres. The project benefits from excellent infrastructure, road accessibility, and state, local, and federal support, as evidenced by the Grassy Mountain project, located just 35 km away, included under the FAST-41 permitting initiative. The project consists of the Eldorado West and Eldorado East properties, both of which feature highly prospective geology and known strongly-mineralized resource targets.

The Eldorado West property boasts a historical resource estimate of 1.98 million ounces of gold at 0.75 g/t. Historical drilling has defined a bulk tonnage open pit extending up to 100 meters in depth. Recent drilling highlights include:

• EC-01: 288 meters @ 2.01 g/t gold from surface including 175 meters @ 3.07 g/t gold
• Discovery of significant high-grade structures within the historical pit, with mineralization extending to 250 meters depth.

Metallurgical testing indicates that the project is amenable to heap leach extraction and gravity/flotation, potentially leading to low-cost recovery methods.

The Eldorado East property includes historical resource estimates at Sunday Hill (170,000+ ounces at 23.15 g/t gold) and the Randall Mine (50,000+ ounces at 8 g/t gold). Provenance recently acquired 5,867 acres in this area and is currently undertaking ground-work, sampling, and drill permitting, with drilling expected to commence in Spring 2026.

Strategic Investment: A Vote of Confidence

Provenance Gold recently announced a fully subscribed C$4.5 million financing with a strategic investment group. This investment, completed at market price, reflects mounting investor interest and confidence in the company and its projects. The strategic investors share Provenance’s vision and have the capability to add resources as the project continues to grow.

The investment group will participate in a non-brokered private placement of 18,000,000 units at a price of $0.25 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share and one-half-of-one share purchase warrant exercisable at $0.30 for five years. The offering is expected to close around October 24, 2025, with investors agreeing to a one-year hold period on all securities issued.

In conjunction with the closing, Provenance and the strategic investor group will enter into an investor rights agreement. This agreement grants the group certain rights, provided they maintain specific ownership thresholds, including the right to participate in future equity financings and top-up holdings to maintain their pro rata ownership.

Expanding the Eldorado Footprint

Provenance Gold is actively expanding its Eldorado footprint, creating a district-scale opportunity. The Eldorado and Eldorado East claim blocks are situated within a large northeast-trending structural zone that hosts mineralized diorite bodies exposed at the surface. Provenance has identified a strong correlation between these diorite bodies and historical lode gold and gold placer deposits along this structural zone. The company believes these diorite bodies are related and possibly connected at depth.

Gold invaded the diorite along fractures, creating bulk tonnage and locally high-grade mineralization. Provenance has signed a binding option for the Sunday Hill Project from Nevada Select Royalty, Inc., an arms-length subsidiary of Gold Royalty Corp., to acquire the Sunday Hill Project for US$400,000.

Drilling Success and Future Plans

Provenance Gold has been actively drilling at the Eldorado Project, with promising results. Recent drilling in the Herman Area revealed significant gold mineralization, suggesting a larger mineralized system than previously recognized.

In September 2025, Provenance mobilized a second diamond core rig to the Eldorado Project to gain deeper geological insights into the gold system in the Herman area. Titan Drilling LTD has been engaged to drill a minimum of 1,000 meters in newly permitted areas.

Provenance is already permitting a 2–3 kilometer step-out drill program for 2026, designed to test the broader continuity of the Eldorado system. Consistent results across this expanded footprint could lead to a transition from confirmation drilling to resource modeling, a critical step in crystallizing measurable value.

Jurisdictional Advantage and Market Dynamics

As gold prices have surged past \$4,000 per ounce, exploration companies in stable U.S. jurisdictions are attracting renewed investor attention. Provenance Gold’s combination of credible geology and jurisdictional stability positions it favorably in the current market.

The company’s U.S. location provides a strategic advantage, aligning with growing momentum around domestic exploration as producers seek to hedge geopolitical risk in traditional mining regions. Investors are prioritizing jurisdictional safety, near-surface mineralization, and clear structural controls, all of which characterize Provenance’s Eldorado system.

Technical Rigor and Quality Assurance

Provenance Gold maintains high standards of technical rigor and quality assurance. All technical results have been independently reviewed and approved by Jo Price, P.Geo., M.Sc., a Qualified Person under NI 43-101. The company employs PhotonAssay™ analysis through Paragon Geochemical, ensuring high-accuracy, non-destructive gold determination. Ongoing QA/QC protocols include certified standards, blanks, and duplicates inserted at regular intervals, consistent with industry best practices.

The Road Ahead

With strategic investment secured and promising drilling results in hand, Provenance Gold is well-positioned to advance the Eldorado Project. The company’s focus on expanding the mineralized footprint, combined with its commitment to technical rigor and quality assurance, sets the stage for continued success. As Provenance progresses towards resource modeling and potential development, the Eldorado Project could become a significant contributor to the North American gold sector.
