Dryden Gold Announces Omnibus Equity Plan and Extended Marketing Agreement

Dryden Gold Corp., a Vancouver-based exploration company focused on high-grade gold mineralization, has announced several key developments. The company has received approval for its new Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, which will replace its existing 10% rolling Stock Option Plan. All stock options previously granted under the Option Plan will continue under the new plan.

According to the company, the Omnibus Plan was approved by shareholders at the annual general meeting held on July 8, 2026. Detailed information about the plan can be found in the Circular dated June 3, 2026, which is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

In addition to the plan approval, Dryden Gold has extended its marketing agreement with Bunt Capital Corporation. Bunt, a full-service marketing and consulting firm specializing in the junior metals and mining sector, will continue to engage with existing shareholders, analysts, and prospective investors. Under the extended agreement, Dryden Gold will pay Bunt $15,000 per month over a 12-month term. In return, Bunt will be granted 200,000 stock options, exercisable for five years at a price of $0.26. These options will vest quarterly over one year. Bunt and its affiliates are at arm's length from Dryden Gold and have no other relationship with the company, except through the extended agreement.

Dryden Gold's commitment to building respectful and collaborative relationships with Indigenous Nations and communities is evident in the company's ongoing efforts. The extension of the marketing agreement with Bunt is part of the company's strategy to enhance investor awareness and promote its exploration activities.

The company also clarified that Epstein Research, an independent contractor with expertise in promoting public companies, was engaged to provide investor awareness and promotional services. Epstein Research's services include written articles, company interviews, online commentary, social-media promotion, and digital advertising through various platforms such as CEO.ca, LinkedIn, Substack, Blogger, TalkMarkets, Medium, Stockhouse, Reddit, and Stocktwits.

Dryden Gold, with its strong management team and Board of Directors, is focused on the discovery of high-grade gold mineralization in the Dryden District of Northwestern Ontario. The company controls 100% interest in mining claims along the Manitou-Dinorwic deformation zone, which hosts high-grade gold mineralization over 50km of potential strike length. Dryden Gold is committed to maintaining positive relationships with First Nations communities and benefiting from the region's experienced mining workforce.
