Antler Gold Inc. announced the completion of its soil and calcrete sampling program on its 100% owned Central Erongo Gold Project in Namibia. The project is comprised of five contiguous licenses covering a total area of 185 km2 in highly prospective areas of the Damara Mobile Belt. This includes 28 km of prospective strike length with the same stratigraphy that hosts the Osino Resources Twin Hills deposit.

Antler's EPL 8010 borders with the Twin Hills Mining License (3.1 Moz Au). The highest soil sampling anomaly on Antler's EPL 7261 is approximately 5 km from the Navachab Gold Mine, a 1989 mineral resource of 10.4 Mt @ 2.4 g/t Au which produced 85,000 ounces of gold in 2022. The C2 target is a large-scale gold prospect identified through Antler's grassroots exploration efforts in 2019 and 2020.

The prospect aligns with secondary and tertiary structures adjacent to the Karibib Fault, a regional-scale feature, while coinciding with magnetic highs. Antler's systematic exploration approach for the C2 target has included soil, regolith, and rock-chip sampling, as well as geological mapping, along with ground Induced-Polarization geophysics and high definition heliborne magnetic surveys. If sufficient soil was present, a soil sample was collected.

This consisted of a 100 g - 200 g of -180 um screened material. Calcrete samples were collected at sample sites where calcrete was found to be present in such abundance or so thickly developed as to make it unfeasible to collect soil samples. Approximately 1.2 kg of calcrete material was collected per calcrete sample.

QA/QC sample assay results have been independently monitored through a quality control/quality assurance ("QA/QC") program including replicate field samples, pulp duplicate samples and the insertion of blind standards and fine and coarse blanks. QA/QC samples make up 15% of the total number of samples taken. Geochemical samples were collected in the field and stored at the Company's secure facility located in the town of Karibib.

Samples were then batched and securely transported to the ACT LABS sample preparation facility in Windhoek, Namibia where they were prepped by Method RX4 whereby entire sample is crushed to a nominal -2 mm, mechanically split to obtain a representative sample, and then pulverized to at least 95% -105 microns (um). The samples, once prepped, were then shipped to ACT LABS lab in Colombia for the 1A1 Au Fire Assay. INAA was used to analyze for gold, which is Fire Assay completed with Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis.

Samples are encapsulated and irradiated in a nuclear reactor. After a suitable decay, samples are measured for the emitted gamma ray fingerprint.
