CEO.CA Chairman's Briefing

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 28, 2025) - Dryden Gold Corp. (TSXV: DRY) (OTCQB: DRYGF) (FSE: X7W) ("Dryden Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has significantly strengthened its technical team with the addition of two new strategic advisors to its board of directors, Dr. Ben Frieman, PhD and Gary Baschuk B.SC.

Dr Frieman will add his expertise in structural interpretation, tectonics and economic geology. He is currently engaged in applied research in these fields at the Colorado School of Mines, Golden CO. His 15-year academic career also includes the University of Maine and Laurentian University. At Laurentian, Dr. Frieman was a post-doctoral fellow & research associate at the Mineral Exploration Research Centre, Harquail School of Earth Science ("Metal Earth") where he led the most comprehensive recent appraisal of the geology of the Manitou Area, now the Dryden Gold District, from 2018-2021. His expertise on the formation of gold systems and specifically the Dryden Gold property will aid in more informed targeting strategies and further support continued exploration success.

Mr. Baschuk has almost 40 years of industry experience as an Investment Banker/Mining Analyst/Geologist. He has spent the past 19 years in Capital Markets and over 20 years in the Mining Industry. His analytical focus has been on small to mid-sized exploration, development and production precious metals companies. Industrial experience, all with Barrick Gold, ranged from early-stage exploration across northern Ontario, Manitoba and Quebec plus development and production on two Mines, the Holt-McDermott in northern Ontario and the Rodeo/Griffin (part of the Meikle Mine at the Goldstrike Mine Complex) in Nevada.

The Company also announces that the Board of Directors has granted 200,000 stock options to Dr. Frieman and 200,000 stock options to Mr. Baschuk (the "Options"). The Options are exercisable at a price of $0.25 per common share for a period of 10 years from the date of grant and will vest 25% every six months from the date of grant for a total period of two years.

Under the same terms, the Company has also granted an aggregate of 300,000 stock options to employees of the Company.

The granting of Options is subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.

The Company would also like to announce that 300,000 stock options previously announced in a press release on May 7, 2025, were not issued.

Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
