Jonathan Goodman, President and CEO commented: “These results continue to build our confidence in the South Zone and are particularly encouraging because they consistently demonstrate the grade thickness characteristics we have seen throughout the program. While the high-grade intercepts are impressive in their own right, what excites us most is the growing body of drilling data which reinforces our confidence as we advance toward a resource estimate and pre-feasibility study.” South Zone Mineral Resource Infill Drilling Assay results from the ongoing 35,000m resource infill/ drilling program at the South Zone deposit continue to show excellent continuity of mineralization in each of Vein Zones 1, 2 and 3. Results have been received from an additional 14 infill drill holes and are reported in Table 1. The resource drilling program has been designed to infill the deposit at nominal 25m centres with results to be included in an updated mineral resource estimate to support a pre-feasibility study (“PFS”) targeting completion in H2 2027. To date, 73 drill holes (23,184m) have been completed representing approximately two-thirds of the planned program metreage. <table style="border-collapse: collapse; width:99%; border-collapse:collapse ;"><tr><td colspan="2">Selected assay highlights include:</td></tr><tr><td colspan="2"> </td></tr><tr><td style="max-width:12%; width:12%; min-width:12%;">SNR26-90:</td><td style="max-width:88%; width:88%; min-width:88%;">11.65m grading 5.20 g/t Au &amp; 16 g/t Ag from 79.85m downhole</td></tr><tr><td style="max-width:12%; width:12%; min-width:12%;"> </td><td style="max-width:88%; width:88%; min-width:88%;"> </td></tr><tr><td>SNR26-97:</td><td>13.50m grading 2.98 g/t Au &amp; 10 g/t Ag from 132.00m downhole</td></tr><tr><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td>SNR26-99:</td><td>16.80m grading 4.63 g/t Au &amp; 20 g/t Ag from 133.25m downhole; and</td></tr><tr><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td> </td><td>27.51m grading 14.47 g/t Au &amp; 52 g/t Ag from 274.27m downhole; including</td></tr><tr><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td> </td><td>2.07m grading 107.5 g/t Au and 334 g/t Ag from 283.12m</td></tr><tr><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td>SNR26-102:</td><td>5.20m grading 9.19 g/t Au &amp; 36 g/t Ag from 56.00m downhole</td></tr><tr><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td>SNR26-113:</td><td>0.52m grading 200 g/t Au &amp; 141 g/t Ag from 178.86m downhole</td></tr><tr><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td>SNR26-114:</td><td>30.76m grading 3.31 g/t Au &amp; 21 g/t Ag from 236.24m downhole</td></tr><tr><td colspan="2"> </td></tr></table> Assay intervals noted above represent downhole intersections, not true widths.

Figure 1 shows the locations of the drill holes reported in this news release, as well as the other holes completed in 2026, the planned 2026 drill collar locations and the drill collars of pre-2026 drilling of the South Zone. Figure 2 presents a South Zone cross-section highlighting drill hole SNR26-99. The section is viewed to the northwest (310°) and illustrate strong continuity of mineralization hosted within structurally controlled quartz veins and hydrothermal breccia zones. On February 23, 2026, the Corporation completed a strategic earn-in agreement with Westhaven, whereby Dundee may earn up to a 60% interest in Westhaven's four Spences Bridge Gold Belt properties through up to CDN$85,000,000 in staged project expenditures. Under the first phase, Dundee has committed a minimum of CDN$30,000,000, inclusive of a fully funded 50,000m drill program at Shovelnose, which is funding the activities outlined in this news release and is expected to continue through the remainder of 2026. Sampling, Laboratory Analyses and Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) Most core samples consist of halved drill core cut by manual sawing using industry standard core saws. In rare cases, and where required by physical core conditions, manual splitting may be used. Half of the core is retained in the original core box for reference samples and any required future work, including QA/QC. Core samples, controlled by a unique bar-coded reference number, are delivered to ALS’s Kamloops facility and prepared using the PREP-31 package. Each core sample is crushed to better than 70% passing a 2mm (Tyler 9 mesh, US Std. No.10) screen. A split of 250g is taken and pulverized to better than 85% passing a 75-micron (Tyler 200 mesh, US Std. No. 200) screen. Further analytical and assay procedures are conducted in ALS’s North Vancouver facility. A 0.75g subsample of the pulverized split is subjected to four acid digestion and analyzed via ICP-MS (method code ME-MS61m (+Hg)) which reports a suite of 49 elements. All samples are also analyzed for gold by fire assay with an AES finish, method code Au-ICP21 (30g sample size) or Au-ICP22 (50g sample size). Samples returning gold values over 10ppm are subjected to over-limit check assays using fire assay and a gravimetric finish (method code Au-GRA21 and a 30g sample size, or Au-GRAV22 and a 50g sample size). The switch to 50g aliquots applies to 2026 resource infill drill holes starting at, and including, SNR26-98. Other over-limit elements may also be subjected to ore grade analyses which vary depending on the element of interest. ALS’s facilities are accredited to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard for gold assays, and all analytical methods include quality control materials at set frequencies with established data acceptance criteria. QA/QC incorporates the laboratory’s internal quality assurance controls as well as Westhaven’s field controls, including the insertion of quarter core duplicates, certified reference materials and blanks, each at a rate of roughly one per 20-25 core samples. Additional blanks are inserted following samples with visible gold or significant concentrations of ginguro (fine grained bands of dark gray to black sulphides). QA/QC data are evaluated on receipt for failures, and appropriate action is taken if results for duplicates, standards and blanks fall outside allowed tolerances. Westhaven’s ongoing QA/QC programs are consistent with industry best practices and include auditing of all exploration data. Any significant changes will be reported when available. <img alt="Plan View Map July 2026" height="443" src="https://ml.globenewswire.com/Resource/Download/dd5e80d4-0885-4a4f-abd8-ec1ac5bbe051/dundee-corporation-4521615.jpg" width="591" data-dpi="300" data-caption="Plan View Map July 2026" data-filename="Dundee Corporation 4521615.jpg" /> Figure 1 – Plan View Map July 2026 <img alt="South Zone Cross Section A-A’" height="572" src="https://ml.globenewswire.com/Resource/Download/c0ecd609-fc89-4bfd-a1a1-bed7b9cdf132/dundee-corporation-4521615-2.jpg" width="600" data-dpi="300" data-caption="South Zone Cross Section A-A’" data-filename="Dundee Corporation 4521615 2.jpg" /> Figure 2 – South Zone Cross Section A-A’ <img alt="Assay Highlights" height="558" src="https://ml.globenewswire.com/Resource/Download/c7ac0841-d20c-4b1b-8049-648d2587ad82/dundee-corporation-4521615-3.jpg" width="600" data-dpi="120" data-caption="Assay Highlights" data-filename="Dundee Corporation 4521615 3.jpg" /> Table 1 – Assay Highlights ABOUT DUNDEE CORPORATION: Dundee Corporation is a public Canadian independent mining-focused holding company, listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “DC.A”.
