Banyan Gold Intersects High-Grades and Visible Gold at AurMac, Yukon, Canada

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / January 27, 2026 / Banyan Gold Corp. (the "Company" or "Banyan") (TSXV:BYN)(OTCQB:BYAGF) is pleased to announce it has intersected high-grade gold ("Au") mineralization in the Airstrip Deposit ("Airstrip") and Aurex Hill Zone ("Aurex Hill") at its AurMac Project ("AurMac"), Yukon, Canada.

Aurex Hill Intersections (East Powerline Deposit) Highlights:

AX-25-796 - 0.84 g/t Au over 38.9m within 0.64 g/t Au over 76.0m; including high-grade intervals of 26.35 g/t Au over 0.5m,
AX-25-802 - 2.82 g/t Au over 11.8m within 0.78 g/t Au over 51.1m; including high-grade interval of 7.26 g/t Au over 4.3m

Airstrip Intersections Highlights:

AX-25-720 - 1.10 g/t Au over 6.5m within 0.30 g/t Au over 38.9m; includes high-grade intervals of 16.70 g/t Au over 0.4m and 13.80 g/t Au over 1.0m,
AX-25-731 - 2.27 g/t Au over 5.0m, within 1.24 g/t Au over 11.0m; includes high-grade interval of 14.10 g/t Au over 0.5m,
AX-25-758 - 0.90 g/t Au over 18.9m, within 0.51 g/t Au over 43.8m; includes 17.14 g/t Au over 0.3m,
AX-25-792 - 4.25 g/t Au over 3.3m within 0.60 g/t Au over 37.6m; includes 14.60 g/t Au over 0.5m

"The high-grade gold mineralization in the Aurex Hill zone (East Powerline Deposit) and the Airstrip Deposit reinforces our understanding of the high-grade mineralization and achieves the objective of targeting areas suitable for starter pits," said Tara Christie, President and CEO. "In the Aurex Hill zone, high-grade sheeted quartz veins show potential for further expansion of the deposit, while the high-grade structures (marl) with brecciated quartz represent a new drill target (Figure 4). In Airstrip, the skarn mineralization in Cal 2 (lower horizon) shows consistent high-grade gold mineralization with holes AX-25-792 and AX-25-731, indicating the potential for eastward expansion at Airstrip (Figure 7 and 10)."

The high-grade gold drill core from Airstrip, Powerline and the very high-grade silver drill core (News release, January 22, 2026) will be available to view at the AMEBC roundup core shack #823 on January 28-29^th, 2026.

Figure 2: Cross-section 468850E in Aurex Hill. High-grade mineralization in AX-25-802 has potential to convert waste blocks and extend mineralized domains that are open up and down dip as well as along strike.

Figure 3: Cross-section 469050E in Aurex Hill Zone has potential to extend high-grade mineralization in satellite pits in east Powerline.

Figure 4: High-grade gold mineralization in AX-25-802 is associated with zones of marl with associated brecciated quartz veins.

Figure 5: Sheeted quartz veins in AX-25-796 host high-grade gold mineralization and visible gold.

Figure 6: Visible gold grains from drillholes AX-25-796. Multiple instances of visible gold intergrown with Bi-Sulphosalts were intersected at 42.3m (left) and 115.1m (right). These examples of coarse-grained gold mineralization in sheeted quartz veins are typical of Powerline-style mineralization, indicating near-surface high-grade mineralized domains have potential to be expanded in the Aurex Hill area east of Powerline.

Figure 8: Cross-section 466400E in Airstrip. Skarn mineralization intersected in drill holes AX-25-747 have potential to expand conceptual pit to the south and west of Airstrip.

Figure 9: Cross-section 466800E in Airstrip. Skarn mineralization inAX25-756 and -758 have potential to convert waste blocks at southern edge of the conceptual pit as well as improve continuity of the Cal 1 horizon.
