The
Kiena East is described as a potential future mining centre, while Mishi-Magnacon is expected to be evaluated through a conceptual study over the next 12 to 18 months, so neither represents a completed operating expansion in this disclosure.

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 6, 2026) - Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd. (TSX: WDO) (OTCQX: WDOFF) ("Wesdome" or the "Company") today announced that it has filed independent technical reports (the "Technical Reports") prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards for Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") for its Eagle River Mine ("Eagle River") in Ontario and its Kiena Mine ("Kiena") in Québec.
The Technical Reports entitled "Independent Technical Report for the Eagle River Mine, Ontario, Canada" and "NI 43-101 Technical Report and Feasibility Study for the Kiena Mine Complex, Val-d'Or, Québec, Canada" support and are consistent in all material respects with the updated mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates and additional disclosure in the Company's news release "Wesdome Extends Reserve Life to 8 Years at Both Mines, Establishes Robust Free Cash Flow Profile, and Outlines Significant Organic Growth Pipeline", dated June 24, 2026.
Anthea Bath, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: "The Technical Reports filed today provide independent validation of the significant work our team has undertaken over the past several years to strengthen the foundation of Wesdome. They establish the most robust reserve-based mine plans in the Company's history, with both Eagle River and Kiena now supported by eight-year operating plans that provide a resilient platform for disciplined execution and sustainable growth.

"Across both land packages, the Technical Reports define a substantial pipeline of exploration opportunities, ranging from near-mine extensions to large-scale targets. We believe these opportunities demonstrate that Wesdome is evolving beyond individual mines into two emerging mining districts, each with multiple pathways to extend mine life, enhance infrastructure utilization and create long-term shareholder value.
"Wesdome is well positioned to capitalize on tangible opportunities to scale production and extend mine life. Our focus remains on converting that potential into per-share value through disciplined execution and continued technical advancement, while delivering returns to shareholders."
