August 26 2026 – TheNewswire - BRONCO RESOURCES CORP. (TSX-V:BRON) (“Bronco” or the “Company”) is pleased to report results from its 2026 soil geochemical and rock sampling programs at the Placer Mountain Gold Project, located in the Similkameen Mining District, near Princeton, BC.

Rock sampling returned up to 55.0 g/t Au and 149.0 g/t Ag from the Kodiak Zone Extension, an outcropping 65 meters north of the previously sampled outcrop. The 2026 program also located multiple multi-gram gold results from quartz vein material across a broad targeting area.

Rock Sampling Highlights

• 55.0 g/t Au and 149.0 g/t Ag at Kodiak Zone Extension, in outcrop 

• 6.43 g/t Au and 31.2 g/t Ag, 231 meters south of Kodiak Zone showing 

• 4.74 g/t Au and 13.4 g/t Ag at the Northstar Target, 439 meters NNW of Kodiak Zone 

• 2.37 g/t Au and 9.3 g/t Ag at the Northstar Target, 568 meters NW of Kodiak Zone

Sample	Description	Occurrence	Zone	Au (g/t)*	Ag (g/t)*	Approx. Distance from Kodiak Zone
B737053A	Vein Material 25% Subhedral Pyrite	Outcrop	Kodiak Extension	55.03	149.0	65 m
B737053B	Wall rock material silicified intrusive	Outcrop	Kodiak Extension	3.28	6.77	65 m
B737062	Banded quartz-hematite vein	Subangular Float	Kodiak	6.43	31.15	231 m
B737064	Grey smoky quartz	Subangular Float	Northstar	4.74	13.35	439 m
B737066	Quartz-FeOx vein	Angular Float	Northstar	2.37	9.26	568 m
B737061	Quartz with hematite + FeOx	Subangular Float	(unnamed)	0.23	10.24	919 m

*Gold and silver values represent the highest reported analytical determination where multiple analytical methods were completed. The remaining 15 samples returned low or insignificant assay values for the targeted elements. Full analytical results are available on the company website.

Soil Sampling Results

Systematic soil sampling identified widespread gold anomalism across the Eastern Palace and Grizzle target areas. A total of 1,011 soil samples returned fire-assay gold determinations, with results ranging from below detection up to 334 ppb Au. Of the samples analyzed, 234 returned ≥5 ppb Au, 75 returned ≥10 ppb Au, 13 returned ≥25 ppb Au and six returned ≥50 ppb Au. The Company is evaluating the spatial distribution and clustering of anomalous soil results together with its newly completed detailed ground magnetic survey and geological observations.

East of the Kodiak Zone, prospective Nicola Group rocks and associated dioritic intrusions are locally obscured by younger, barren basalt assigned to the Princeton Group, symbolized by the green dashed line in the below map. This younger cover unit is interpreted to suppress or disrupt the surface geochemical expression of potential mineralization hosted within the underlying rocks.

Despite this masking effect, discrete gold and pathfinder anomalies are still present within the covered area. The Company considers these spot anomalies encouraging, as they may reflect geochemical dispersion from structurally controlled, vein-hosted mineralization developed beneath the Princeton Group basalt.

Dev Rishy-Maharaj, Chief Executive Officer of Bronco Resources, commented:

“The 2026 program has substantially expanded the amount of systematic exploration data surrounding Kodiak. At Northstar, reconnaissance sampling has returned 4.74 g/t and 2.37 g/t gold in an area with no previous drilling, while additional high-grade gold-bearing quartz occurs outside the known Kodiak Zone and widespread gold-in-soil anomalism continues across Eastern Palace and Grizzle.

We can now integrate these results with detailed ground magnetics, LiDAR and the magnetic alteration relationships identified in Kodiak drill core. Our objective is to use these independent datasets together to identify the strongest targets for follow-up work and an aggressive fall drilling program.”

Bronco believes the geochemical and geophysical programs detail the most comprehensive technical dataset ever assembled on the Placer Mountain Gold Project and will provide the foundation for planning the next phase of exploration and drilling.

Bronco Resources holds a current multi-year area-based (MYAB) permit for the project, with additional drilling expected in Q4 of 2026.

Assay Laboratory Procedure

All analytical work was completed by MSA Labs, an independent ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory. Prospecting rock samples were analyzed for gold using the CPA-Au1 Photon Assay method together with FAS-111 fire assay and IMS-230 multi-element geochemistry. Soil samples were analyzed for gold by FAS-111 fire assay with AAS finish together with IMS-131 multi-element geochemistry. The laboratory employs rigorous internal quality assurance and quality control procedures including certified reference materials, blanks and duplicate analyses at prescribed frequencies to monitor analytical accuracy and precision. Individual analytical results are retained in the Company's assay database.
