GoldInxs Commences Maiden Drill Program at the Fishpot Project, Testing Multiple Gold-Silver and Copper-Gold Targets

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — GoldInxs Mining Corp. (“GoldInxs,” or the “Company”) (TSXV: INXS, OTCQB: INXGF) is pleased to announce that drilling is underway at its flagship Fishpot Project in Central British Columbia as part of the inaugural drill program intended to test priority targets developed through the convergence of multiple datasets and observations. Previously, a 53.4-line km 3D induced polarization (IP) survey, combined with magnetic data, geochemical sampling, geophysical surveys, geological mapping, and Ripplinger Royalties Corp. Virtual DRILL™ Elemental Harmonic Resonance (“EHR”) interpretations helped refine areas prospective for epithermal gold-silver and porphyry-style copper-gold mineralization, providing the geological and geophysical basis for the Company’s current drilling campaign (refer to press release dated September 24, 2026).

Key Highlights

• Hole 26FP001 has been collared and is actively drilling into the Lightening Zone.
• Phase 1 drilling planned to complete ~2,000 metres of NQ diamond drilling over 8-10 holes.
• Targets include the Lightening, Thriller, Believin’, Luftballon, Southside, and BullsEye zones
• Targeting potential Gold-Copper Porphyry and Blackwater-Style Epithermal mineralization.
• Compelling target convergence at
  Lightening Zone that features overlapping IP resistivity and chargeability anomalies beneath a reported 2 km by 500 m surface zone of intense silica alteration and associated multi-element geochemical anomalies.
• The program represents the first modern, systematic drill test of multiple priority targets generated through the Company’s integrated exploration program, with only 2 holes of a combined 378 metres of historic drilling on the property.
• Previously reported surface rock samples returned up to 5.65 g/t gold, 11.35 g/t silver and 0.42% copper. These results are not indicative of expected drill grades.

Program Update

Onsite teams have completed trail access construction with the support from local contractors, including the construction of the temporary core logging facility. The diamond drill arrived on site, was set up successfully and is now actively drilling the first planned hole in the Lightening Zone. As the oriented drill core is produced it will be processed by geologists from Tripoint Geological Services, scanned with a handheld portable X-ray Fluorescence (“pXRF”) analyzer, sampled, before being sent for assay at a geochemistry lab.

Drill Planning Update

Integrating the new and reprocessed geophysical data with the existing property data has allowed the Company to build a list of priority targets as they begin the maiden drill program on the Fishpot Project. Overlapping geological surface information, including geochemistry, alteration, and geological mapping data with new and updated geophysical data has highlighted several promising surface and subsurface anomalies on the property. As drilling continues, active and dynamic interpretation will occur, making each subsequent drill hole a potentially stronger target. The key drill target zones include:

• Lightening Zone: Resistivity (>800ohm-m) and chargeability (>20mV) IP anomaly overlain by a 2km x 500m surface zone of intense silica alteration and overlapping geochemical anomalies including Gold (“Au”), Silver (“Ag”), Copper (“Cu”), Bismuth (“Bi”), Antimony (“Sb”), and Zinc (“Zn”).
• Thriller Zone: Magnetic low zone with resistivity (>800ohm-m) anomaly, silica “ribs” present on surface.
• Believin’ Zone: Resistivity (>800ohm-m) high zone with moderate chargeability (>10mV) anomaly and overlapping magnetic low.
• Southside Zone: Moderate chargeability high (>15mV) with resistivity high (>800Ohm-m) contact, south side of the annular magnetic high.
• BullsEye: Magnetic high zone surrounded by magnetic low with moderate chargeability anomaly, surrounded by an Au, Ag, Cu, Bi, Sb anomaly.

Nick Michael, President and CEO of GoldInxs, commented:

“Commencement of drilling marks a defining milestone for GoldInxs as we transition from target generation to testing our exploration thesis at Fishpot. The Phase 1 program is designed to evaluate multiple priority targets identified through our integrated geological, geochemical, EHR, and geophysical work. The program represents an important step in evaluating the property’s gold-silver and copper-gold potential, with results expected to guide our next exploration decisions.”

Darcy Vis, Vice President Exploration of GoldInxs, commented:

“I am very excited to see the first drill hole starting on the Fishpot Project, it’s been a labour of love to get the project to this point. A lot of work has been put in to generate the best potential targets and now we can see the fruit of our labors coming to light. I was onsite last week helping the team get ready and everyone is working very hard to make the project a success. The next several weeks will be very exciting as we determine what the Fishpot has to show.”

Announcement of Marketing Engagement

The Company announces that it has entered into an engagement with German Mining Networks GmbH (“GMN”) on October 14, 2026, to support the Company’s European investor outreach and shareholder engagement initiatives.
