Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 24, 2025) - Lake Victoria Gold Ltd. (TSXV: LVG) (OTCQB: LVGLF) (FSE: E1K) ("LVG" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on the Q3 2025 exploration activities conducted on the licenses ("the Project") LVG sold to Bulyanhulu Gold Mine Limited ("Buly" or "Bulyanhulu"). Buly acquired six licences from LVG under an Asset Purchase Agreement signed in December 2021. Buly is a joint venture between Barrick Mining Corporation ("Barrick") and the Government of Tanzania.

During the quarter, Bulyanhulu advanced the exploration program through a number of activities designed to refine geological and structural models and to evaluate the potential for discovering another Bulyanhulu-style mineralized system within the Tembo Inlier portfolio.

Q3 2025 Highlights

Completion of GAIP Geophysical Survey

• Bulyanhulu completed 94 line-km of gradient array induced polarization (GAIP) surveying.
• Results are being incorporated into updated structural and stratigraphic interpretations.

Aircore (AC) Drilling Initiated

• A geochemical AC drilling program commenced late in the quarter at the Enze target.
• To date, 2 fences of 19 holes totaling 419m have been completed out of a planned 945-hole, 30,750m, 18-fence program.
• Early logging indicates a 15m regolith profile over basalt and felsic tuff sequences, including quartz-veined and moderately foliated argillite intercalations that host smokey-grey quartz veins and boxworks, presumably after sulphide.

Diamond and RC Drilling Planning

• Planning advanced for diamond drill and RC drilling along the Itetemia trend.
• Five diamond fences and four RC drilling fences are aimed at refining the stratigraphic understanding.
• Drilling will focus on identifying and testing potential repetitions of the Reef 1 and Reef 2 horizons, targeting paleosurfaces and stratigraphic fold repetitions.
• The drill program is planned to be completed in Q4 2025.

Project-to-Date Expenditures

As of September 30, 2025, cumulative project spending totals US$6,659,397 out of a proposed US$9,000,000 under the APA.

Strategic Context

Under the APA executed in 2022, LVG may receive up to US $45 million in contingent payments from Barrick, subject to future discoveries or defined resource thresholds on these licences.

Management Comments

David Scott, Director & Managing Director Tanzania (Pr. Sci. Nat), stated: "The Q3 results from Barrick highlight a systematic and technically strong approach to unlocking the Tembo geology. The GAIP survey, the extensive aircore program, and the planned diamond and RC drilling all target the same core objective—vectoring toward Bulyanhulu-style mineralization within the Inlier. The combination of structural refinement and deeper drilling gives us increasing confidence in the potential for a significant discovery."

Marc Cernovitch, President & CEO, added: "The continued progress by Barrick at Tembo reinforces the long-term potential of this highly strategic asset. Their work is helping to refine the geological picture across the Inlier and advance our collective understanding of the structures that host major gold systems in the region. With Imwelo moving toward development, Tembo provides Lake Victoria Gold with meaningful exploration upside and optionality within one of Africa's most prolific gold belts."

Next Steps

Bulyanhulu has indicated that:

• AC drilling will continue through Q4-2025;
• Diamond and RC drilling programs are expected to be completed in Q4 2025;
• GAIP interpretations will guide refinement of drill targeting along priority structures within the Tembo Inlier.
