Gold Hunter deploys Windfall Geotek and machine learning artificial intelligence to expedite training targeting Great Northern. Extension of warrant period

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – December 24, 2025)- Gold Hunter Resources Co., Ltd. (CSE: HUNT) (OTCQB: HNTRF) (FSE: 6RH) (the “Company” or “Gold Hunter”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive agreement with Windfall Geotek (TSXV: WIN) to implement advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technology across the district-scale Great Northern Project in Newfoundland.

This initiative will enable Gold Hunter to take advantage of this high-tech discovery tool, providing a natural progression from data aggregation to predictive targeting. By integrating the Company's recently completed district-wide VTEM™ Plus aerial survey and extensive integration of historical databases, the AI platform is designed to generate high-probability drilling targets in advance of the Company's Q1 2026 drilling campaign.

Sean Kingsley, President and CEO of Gold Hunter, commented:
”We are constantly seeking technological advantages to reduce discovery costs and shorten timelines. By integrating more than 50 kilometers of structure, and a large dataset including approximately 500 diamond drill holes and more than 36,000 soil samples, we now have dense and comprehensive data coverage that is best suited for machine learning. Windfall's AI allows our technical teams to virtually stress test targets before mobilizing personnel and equipment. This ensures that your funds are placed in the most reliable targets.”

Quote from Windfall Geotek
Michel Fontaine, President and CEO of Windfall Geotek, said:
”The Great Northern Project is an ideal candidate for our AI technology. It provides an unusual combination of district-scale land packages with dense and diverse historical datasets that have never been treated as a single unified model. Combining Gold Hunter's new aerial survey with its extensive geochemical, geophysical, and drilling database allows us to detect deep-seated and distinct patterns similar to those we have identified in other major discoveries around the world. The final target model is expected to be delivered by early January 2026. ”

“Smart Layers”: Enhance your geological workflow
The company views this AI application as a “synthetic intelligence” layer designed to support and enhance geology teams’ workflows. This technology focuses on:

Audit history data: Re-evaluate 493 historical drill holes to identify subtle mineralization vectors that may have been missed during manual review.

Verify magnetic targets. Cross-reference new geophysical anomalies with geochemical footprints to exclude false positives.

Optimize your training plan: Generate a high-probability “heat map” to guide the Phase 1 training program targeting potential new discoveries along the Ducers Valley Fault and its associated extension.

Amendments to the provisions of private placement stock acquisition rights
The Company also announces amendments to the terms of its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the “Offering”) on December 11, 2025. The Company has extended the expiration date of stock acquisition rights issued pursuant to the Offering (both non-flow-through and flow-through offerings).

The stock options will be exercisable for 36 months from the date of issuance, an extension of the previously announced 24-month period. All other terms of the Offering remain unchanged.

next step
Data aggregation is complete and incorporates additional data from the Q4 2024 data compilation and further land consolidation in June 2025. Initial target generation from Windfall Geotek is underway and preliminary results are expected soon. These results will be reviewed by our technical team to finalize future training programs.

About the Great Northern Project
The Great Northern Project is a district-sized land package located in the White Bay region of Newfoundland. The project is a consolidation of the company's 100% owned mineral licenses and claims under an option agreement with Magna Terra Minerals, which allows Gold Hunter to acquire the remaining 100% interest upon final payment due in June 2026. This consolidation consolidates fragmented historic districts into a single cohesive exploration opportunity along the prolific Ducers Valley Fault.
