 Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 22, 2025) - Golden Cross Resources Inc. (TSXV: AUX) (OTC: ZCRMF) (FSE: ZMLO) ("Golden  Cross" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on its phase 1  work program based on which a second drill rig has been mobilized at  its flagship Reedy Creek high-grade gold project in Victoria, Australia.  This expansion of the drilling program follows the successful  completion of a C$5 million financing, providing the Company with the  capital to accelerate and expand its exploration efforts.
 
 Key Highlights:
 
 
 Phase 1 program update: The  emerging picture from the initial ~1,000 metres of drilling, mapping,  and reassaying received to date indicates that the Reedy Creek goldfield  is defined by gold-bearing fluids migrating along faults that intersect  anticline folding - a geological setting seen at several other major  Victorian gold mines.
 Second drill rig mobilized:  The additional rig will double drilling capacity at Reedy Creek,  enabling the Company to test multiple high-priority targets and  accelerate its understanding of the geologic setting at Reedy Creek.
 Fully funded program:  The recent $5 million financing ensures that the Company can  aggressively advance the current 6,000-metre drill campaign, with the  ability to expand the program as results warrant.
 Focused on high-grade discoveries:  Previous drilling at Reedy Creek has confirmed the presence of multiple  high-grade gold intercepts along a 3 km mineralized corridor, with  several zones remaining open along strike and at depth. 
 "Mobilizing a second drill  rig marks an important milestone for Golden Cross," said Matt Roma, CEO  of Golden Cross. "With strong investor support from our recent  financing, we are now in a position to accelerate our exploration  program at Reedy Creek. Our goal is to unlock the full potential of this  district-scale project and build on the high-grade gold results we've  already seen."Drilling deeper:  With the recent financing, the Company can bring forward the second  phase of drilling which involves testing the targets at greater depth.  This is crucial for understanding the geologic model driving gold  mineralization at Reedy Creek.
 
 The Company will continue to evaluate the  geological interpretation revealed by the data and looks forward to  providing further updates later this Summer as assay results are  received.
 
 The Company has granted Capital Analytica incentive stock options (each, an "Option") to purchase 100,000 common shares (each, a "Share")  at an exercise price of $0.50 per Share for a period of 5 years. The  Options will be subject to standard investor relations vesting  provisions and are subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange  ("TSXV").
