Barranco Gold Mining Corp. Provides Shareholder Update and Outlines 2026 Priorities |

VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Barranco Gold Mining Corp. (CSE: BAR) (OTCQB: BRGMF) (FRA: 314) ("Barranco" or the "Company") is pleased to provide the following update to shareholders on the King Gold Project and the Company's near-term priorities.
Dear Shareholders, As we move through 2026, Barranco remains focused on advancing the King Gold Project in a disciplined, technically grounded manner. The project comprises eight 100%-owned mineral claims covering approximately 3,200 hectares in British Columbia's Nicola Mining Division. The King Gold Project is at an early stage of exploration, and no mineral resource estimate has been established. Exploration progress and next steps Exploration programs completed in 2020 and 2023 included systematic soil, rock and stream-sediment sampling, geological mapping and GPS-controlled surveying. The results identified multiple gold and copper geochemical anomalies across the Central, East and South grid areas. These anomalies are priority areas for systematic follow-up; they do not establish grade continuity, a mineral resource or economic viability. As announced on June 9, 2026, the Company engaged Rio Minerals Ltd. to assist with technical planning, exploration coordination and project-level support for the 2026 exploration season. The current objective is to integrate prior data and evaluate appropriate next-step activities, which may include follow-up mapping and sampling, extensions to existing soil grids and geophysical surveying. The nature, scope and timing of further work will depend on technical review, financing, permitting, contractor availability, weather conditions and approval by the Company's board of directors. Any decision to undertake drilling will be made only if prior work defines suitable targets and the required permits and financing are in place. Improved access for U.S. investors On July 27, 2026, Barranco's common shares commenced trading on the OTCQB Venture Market under the symbol BRGMF and became eligible for electronic clearing and settlement in the United States through the Depository Trust Company. The Company's common shares continue to trade on the CSE under BAR and in Frankfurt under 314. These market-access milestones facilitate access and settlement but do not assure liquidity or trading activity. "Our priorities are straightforward: complete the technical work required to refine exploration targets, allocate capital carefully and communicate material developments accurately and promptly," said Reno J. Calabrigo, Chief Executive Officer and a director of Barranco. "The King Gold Project remains at an early stage, and we will measure progress against completed work and verified results." We appreciate the continued support of our shareholders and look forward to reporting material developments as they occur. On behalf of the Board of Directors, Reno J.
