Avanti Gold Corp. Unlocks 2,100 Meters Of Untested Core With Potential To Upgrade 3.1 Moz Mineral Resource At Misisi

(MENAFN- Newsfile Corp) Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 11, 2025) - AVANTI GOLD CORP. (CSE: AGC) (FSE: X370) (the " Company ") is pleased to provide an update on the advancement of its flagship Misisi Gold Project in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

Final Permits to export drill samples

The Company is currently finalizing permits and logistics to transport diamond drill samples for delivery to an independent lab for assay. These samples are from 2,100 metres (m) of diamond drilling completed by a previous operator that were never assayed and therefore are not included in the current 3.1 million ounce Inferred Mineral Resource estimate for the Misisi Project.

The 2,100 m of drilling specifically targeted both the northwest extension and the high-grade southern zones of the Akyanga deposit. The Company believes that the assays from these untested core samples have the potential to:

• Upgrade a portion of the existing Inferred Mineral Resource to the Indicated category , improving confidence in the resource model.

• Confirm continuity of high-grade mineralization along strike and down dip in the southern portion of Akyanga.

• Provide valuable data to refine future pit shell and mine planning scenarios .

By completing the preparation, transport, and assaying of these samples, Avanti is effectively unlocking a significant amount of historical drilling work that has already been funded, providing a low-cost, high-impact opportunity to potentially enhance the size and quality of the Misisi resource base. Assay results will be announced in stages as they become available.

Misisi Gold Project Overview

The Misisi Project is located in the South-Kivu province of the DRC. It hosts the Akyanga deposit , which contains an Inferred Mineral Resource of 41 million tonnes at an average grade of 2.37 grams per tonne (g/t) gold, totaling 3.1 million ounces of gold . Mineralization extends over a strike length of 2.1 km and remains open along strike and at depth.

The Misisi Project covers three contiguous 30-year mining leases spanning 133 square km along the 55 km-long Kibara Gold Belt . Over US $30 million has been invested in exploration to date, including 20,000 m of drilling, 500 m of trenching, and comprehensive geochemical and geophysical surveys. Several parallel structures and multiple drill-ready exploration targets have been identified.
