FOUR NEW GEOCHEMICAL ANOMALIES TO BE TESTED

WHITE ROCK, BC / ACCESS Newswire / September 4, 2025 / Athena Gold Corporation (CSE:ATHA)(OTCQB:AHNRF) (“Athena” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the results from the 2025 summer till program completed at its flagship Laird Lake gold project, located in Ontario’s prolific Red Lake Gold District (see press releases dated April 17, 2025, and July 14, 2025). Results from the program have highlighted at least four distinct zones of gold anomalism, ranging up to approximately 3,000 metres in length, newly named Nemo, Bounty, Hugo, and Chungus zones. Three of the new zones are not associated with any historical occurrences and represent new opportunities to make near-surface discoveries. On the back of these till results, Athena has further grown its land position by another 2,302 hectares, with the project now comprising a total of 7,457 hectares.

“We are beyond thrilled with the results from our 2025 till program at Laird Lake, which have revealed four significant gold anomalies in Ontario’s Red Lake Gold District. The discovery of the Nemo, Hugo, and Chungus zones, combined with the expansion of our land package to over 7,400 hectares, positions Athena to unlock substantial value in this prolific gold camp. With minimal overburden and road-accessible targets, we are well-positioned to efficiently advance these discoveries toward our maiden drilling campaign this winter” said Koby Kushner, CEO.

“The new targets identified happen to occur in areas with very thin overburden. Additionally, we believe the till material sampled likely underwent minimal glacial displacement from surface mineralization near the new anomalies. This means that we should be able to ground truth these targets cheaply and quickly in order to finalize drill targets for our maiden winter drilling campaign” said Benjamin Kuzmich, VP Exploration.
