Table notes: FDD008 was abandoned at a shallow depth while still in post-mineral cover due to operational issues, redrilled as FDD009. FDD002 was terminated prematurely due to ground conditions while still in observed visual mineralisation. WGS 84 Zone 56S UTM coordinates.
Quality Assurance / Quality Control
Adyton adheres to industry-recognized standards of Best Practice and Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC). Drill core samples were submitted in batches to Intertek Laboratory in Lae, which include a field blank, certified reference materials (CRMs) and staged duplicates. Samples were sealed using single-use tie-locks ensuring Chain of Custody. To date, all batches have passed QA/QC, and blanks and CRMs were within acceptable tolerance limits. All drill holes were drilled and sampled predominantly from PQ and/or HQ diameter drill core (noting some drilling and upcoming sampling will be on NQ core). Core recovery is considered to be appropriate.
Feni Island Gold-Copper asset, on-trend location to giant gold +/- copper mines
The Adyton Feni Island Au-Cu project is strategically located on the easily accessible Bismark Islands in PNG. Feni Island is part of the 250km long Tabar-Lihir-Tanga-Feni Island chain, which to the northwest hosts the operating gold mines of Simberi and the -giant Lihir mine, while Feni hosts a foundational resource of 1.45moz Au. To the southeast of Feni Island, on Bougainville Island, lies the giant past producing Panguna Cu-Au mine.

ABOUT ADYTON RESOURCES CORPORATION
Adyton Resources Corporation is focused on the exploration and development of gold and copper resources in regions with high potential for Tier 1 discoveries. The company has a portfolio of highly prospective mineral exploration and development projects in Papua New Guinea (PNG) where it is focused on expansionary drilling on its 100% controlled 1.46mozAu Feni Island Au-Cu asset. This drilling is also focused on documenting the copper endowment that has previously been unassayed for. The Company also has a JV on the Fergusson Island Au project, also in PNG. mineral exploration projects are located on the Pacific Ring of Fire on easy to access island locations which hosts several globally significant copper and gold deposits including the Lihir gold mine and Panguna copper/gold mine on Bougainville Island, both neighboring projects to the Company's Feni Island project.
Feni Island Au-Cu project
The Feni Island Project has a MRE prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 (Oct 14, 2021), that has outlined an initial inferred mineral resource of 60.4mt averaging 0.75 g/tAu, for contained gold of 1.46mozAu ((cut-off grade 0.5g/tAu). See the NI 43-101 technical report entitled "NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Feni Gold-Copper Property, New Ireland Province, Papua New Guinea prepared for Adyton Resources by Mark Berry (MAIG), Simon Tear (MIGI PGeo), Matthew White (MAIG) and Andy Thomas (MAIG), each an independent mining consultant and "qualified person" as defined in NI 43-101,available under Adyton's profile on SEDAR+ at . Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and have not demonstrated economic viability.
Fergusson Island Au project
The Fergusson Island Au project has a MRE prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 dated October 14, 2021, which outlined an indicated mineral resource of 4.0mt at an average grade of 1.33g/tAu for contained gold of 173kozAu and an inferred mineral resource of 16.3mt at an average grade of 1.02g/tAu for contained gold of 540kozAu. See the technical report entitled "NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Fergusson Gold Property, Milne Bay Province, Papua New Guinea" prepared for Adyton Resources by Mark Berry (MAIG), Simon Tear (MIGI PGeo), Matthew White (MAIG) and Andy Thomas (MAIG), each an independent mining consultant and "qualified person" as defined in NI 43-101,available under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at .

Forward looking statements in this news release include plans pertaining to the drill program, the intention to prepare additional technical studies, the timing of the drill program, uses of the recent drone survey data, the timing of updating key findings, the preparation of resource estimates, and the deeper exploration of high-grade gold and copper feeder systems . The forward‐looking information contained herein is provided for the purpose of assisting readers in understanding management's current expectations and plans relating to the future.
