Onyx Gold Commences 50,000 m Phase Three Drill Program and adds Third Rig at the Munro-Croesus Gold Project, Ontario

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 13, 2025) - Onyx Gold Corp. (TSXV: ONYX) (OTCQX: ONXGF) ("Onyx" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a fully-funded 50,000-meter ("m") phase three expansion to the diamond drill program (the "Program") at its 100%-owned Munro-Croesus Project ("Munro-Croesus" or the "Project"), located 75 kilometers east of Timmins, Ontario (Figure 3).

The new 50,000-meter program, budgeted at $11 million and utilizing three drill rigs, follows a successfully completed 25,000 m campaign, (81 holes-36 reported to date). This marks the largest drill program in the property's history and one of the most significant ongoing exploration programs in the Timmins Gold Camp. With a strong cash position of approximately $31.4 million, Onyx is well positioned to continue unlocking the exceptional district-scale potential of the Munro-Croesus Project.

Summary of Corporate and Exploration Activities Completed to Date

• Raised $41.6 million in 2025, through a combination of non-brokered and bought-deal private placements (see Company news releases dated May 22, June 6, October 2, and October 15, 2025).

• Two diamond drill rigs have been active since early May at the Argus North Zone, on the large 109 km² Munro-Croesus Project, approximately two kilometres north of Highway 101 (Figure 3).

• Successfully completed the previously announced 25,000 m drill program, totaling 81 holes (see Company news release dated July 23, 2025). Results from 45 drill holes remain pending.

• Reported assay results for 36 drill holes to date (see Company news releases dated June 26, 2025, July 23, 2025, September 3, October 7, and October 22, 2205) and significant highlights include:

  • 6.6 m grading 4.2 g/t Au

• 66.8 m grading 1.4 g/t Au, in hole MC25-179, including
  • 4.0 m grading 6.6 g/t Au

• 50.4 m grading 1.9 g/t Au starting at 6.1 m downhole, in hole MC25-180, including
  • 4.0 m grading 5.9 g/t Au

• 91.0 m grading 1.1 g/t Au, in hole MC25-177, including
  • 4.0 m grading 4.6 g/t Au, AND

• 103.4 m grading 1.1 g/t Au, in hole MC25-177, including
  • 38.4 m grading 2.4 g/t Au

• 139.1 m grading 0.8 g/t Au, in hole MC25-181, including
  • 6.9 m grading 4.3 g/t Au

• 99.5 m grading 1.5 g/t Au, in hole MC25-195, including
  • 17.0 m grading 3.3 g/t Au

• 71.0 m grading 1.3 g/t Au, in hole MC25-197, including
  • 8.3 m grading 3.9 g/t Au
    
    
• 60.8 m grading 1.2 g/t Au, in hole MC25-200, including
  • 3.0 m grading 5.9 g/t Au

• Step-out drilling at Argus North continues to deliver broad zones of strong gold mineralization - 50 to over 100 metres thick, averaging more than 1 g/t au with consistent higher-grade intervals. Drilling has now traced the zone for over 100 metres along strike and from surface to depths exceeding 350 metres, with mineralization remaining open in all directions, highlighting significant expansion potential.

• These broad gold intercepts, combined with strong high-grade cores, compare favorably to other major deposits in the Timmins Camp, underscoring Argus North's potential as a material new gold discovery in the district.

• The exploration team is using advanced tools to analyze drill core in real time - studying rock structures and geochemistry to better understand how the gold is oriented and where higher-grade zones may extend.

• In July/August, the Company completed a mechanical stripping and sampling program near the collar of hole MC25-180 to expose the Argus North mineralization at surface. Continuous channel sampling returned strong results including 21.2 m grading 2.0 g/t Au and 15.4 m grading 2.2 g/t Au (see Company news release dated October 7, 2025).

"This 50,000-metre program marks an important milestone for Onyx and underscores the exceptional potential we see at Munro-Croesus," said Brock Colterjohn, President & CEO of Onyx Gold. "Argus North has consistently delivered wide, continuous zones of gold mineralization that compare favourably to the best emerging discoveries in the Abitibi. With three rigs turning and more than $31 million in the treasury, we can execute this expanded program without dilution while maintaining flexibility to scale further as results warrant. This next phase will deepen our understanding of Argus North, test multiple kilometres of the underexplored Pipestone Fault and advance several high-priority targets across the very large property. We believe Munro-Croesus has the potential to become a cornerstone gold project within one of Canada's most prolific mining districts."

Summary of Exploration Activities Planned for Remainder of Q4-2025 and H2-2026

• With approximately $31.4 million in cash, Onyx remains fully funded for all 2025-2026 exploration programs.

• The step-out drilling, detailed trench mapping and surface sampling completed at Argus North since May 2025 has resulted in a clearer understanding of the potential controls on gold mineralization including:

• the importance of the permissive mafic variolitic volcanic stratigraphy, proximal to the regional, camp-wide Pipestone Fault;

• the use of topographic and magnetic data to predict disruption, to that host horizon;

• the identification of key northeast trending structures and structural-geophysical-geochemical corridors (Figure 1);

• the presence of feldspar porphyry intrusions acting as fluid barriers and a minor host to gold mineralization; and, most importantly,

• the recognition of a variety of breccias (hyaloclastic, crackle, jigsaw, and polylithic) which provide permeability for fluid migration and gold accumulation.

• The new phase three 50,000 m Program at Munro-Croesus will utilize three drill rigs allocated as follows (see Figures 1 & 2):

• ~36,000 m allocated to testing a three km trend of underexplored mafic variolitic basalts - the same unit that hosts the Argus Main and Argus North Zones. Key objectives of this drilling include:

• Expand Argus North along strike & plunge
• Test fault-offset blocks west of Argus North
• Drill along the Pipestone Fault for new high-grade plunge zones and bulk targets, including targets across quartz-feldspar porphyry intrusions in Porcupine sediments similar to neighbouring deposits such as Fenn-Gib.
• Drill test Argus West
• Drill Southeast of Argus Main on anomalous stratigraphy
• Evaluate and expand mineralization in Porcupine sediments along key structures

• ~4,500 m will focus on extending GM Vein & Croesus Flow shoots onto the newly acquired Munro Mine ground

• ~1,500 m testing Lalonde quartz-carbonate vein targets with known gold showings

• ~2,5000 m will focus on testing the Flipper Zone where historical drilling returned broad zones of mineralization hosted within the Porcupine Sediments, including 42.6 m grading 1.0 g/t and 28.8 m grading 1.3 g/t Au, including 1.5 m grading 10.8 g/t Au

The Munro-Croesus Project

The Munro-Croesus Project is located along Highway 101 in the heart of the Abitibi greenstone belt, Canada's premier gold mining jurisdiction (Figure 3). This large, 100% owned land package includes the past-producing Croesus Gold Mine, which yielded some of the highest-grade gold ever mined in Ontario. Extensive land consolidation from 2020-2025 has unified the patchwork of patented and unpatented mining claims surrounding the Croesus Gold Mine into one coherent package and enhanced the project's exploration potential.

The Project covers 109 km² of highly prospective geology within the influence of major gold-bearing structural breaks. Bulk-tonnage gold deposits located in the immediate region include the Fenn-Gib gold project being developed by Mayfair Gold Corp., and the Tower Gold Project being developed by STLLR Gold Inc.
