Arya Resources Reports Iron Formation Intersections at Wedge Lake – Drilling Extends Twin Zone Vertically and Laterally

Vancouver, Bri�sh Columbia – March 17, 2026 – Arya Resources Ltd. (TSXV: RBZ) (“Arya” or the “Company”) reports comple�on of its winter drilling program at the Wedge Lake Gold Project in Saskatchewan’s La Ronge Gold Belt. The 2026 winter program consisted of six holes encompassing 1,041m of drilling at the Twin and T-6 Zones and follows up on the Company’s successful 2025 drilling campaign.

The Company previously reported (March 2, 2026) sulphide-bearing iron forma�on at the T-6 Zone, located approximately 1,000 metres west of the Twin Zone, where the Company completed 236m of drilling in one step-out drill hole.

Core from the current drilling program is being logged and cut, and samples are being shipped to the laboratory for analysis. All assay results are pending. See the table and drilling plan map for addi�onal detail. Descrip�ons of lithology and sulphide content provided below are based on preliminary visual logging of the core and do not represent assay results.

Program Summary – Twin Zone

The 2026 winter drilling at the Twin Zone consisted of 805m in five drill holes (two holes drilled from the same setup) which covered approximately 381m of strike length across the zone. Iron forma�on intersected for 138 ver�cal meters in 2025/26 drilling. Recent drilling intersected mul�ple intervals of sulphide-bearing iron forma�on in step-out holes, in the area of previously released AR 25-09, designed to con�nue to evaluate the extent of the iron forma�on stra�graphy, along with the twinning of several historic drill holes to confirm the results from previous drilling.

Key observa�ons from the winter drilling program include:

• Sulphide-bearing iron forma�on intersected in a AR26-11 approximately 25 metres down dip of the intersec�on in AR25-09
• Iron forma�on intersected approximately 50 metres and 100 metres east of AR25-09 in drill holes AR26-14 and AR26-12 respec�vely
• Iron forma�on intersected in AR26-15 approximately 125 metres west of AR25-09
• Mul�ple stacked intervals of iron forma�on observed in hole AR26-13 up-dip of hole AR26-14
• Sulphide-bearing iron forma�on intersected at the T-6 Zone, approximately 1,000 metres west of the Twin Zone
• Assay results from the winter drilling program are pending.

Down dip Expansion – AR26-11

Hole AR26-11 was drilled approximately 25 metres behind and parallel to AR25-09, intersec�ng the stra�graphy approximately 25 metres down dip, sugges�ng the con�nua�on of sulphide-bearing iron forma�on below drill hole AR25-09 to test the ver�cal con�nuity of the iron forma�on.

AR26-11 intersected several intervals of sulphide-bearing iron forma�on (“SIF”), including:

• 68.05 m – 77.25 m: 9.20 m SIF
• 77.25 m – 84.90 m: 7.65 m Massive to Semi-Massive Sulphide (MSS)
• 84.90 m – 115.05 m: 30.15 m SIF
• 140.20 m – 171.85 m: 31.65 m SIF Breccia

These intervals suggest the con�nua�on of sulphide-bearing iron forma�on at depth below AR25-09.

Eastern Step-Out – AR26-14

Hole AR26-14, drilled approximately 50 metres east of AR25-09, intersected:

• 64.05 m – 66.99 m: 2.94 m MSS
• 66.99 m – 69.10 m: 2.11 m Quartz Breccia
• 69.10 m – 133.40 m: 64.30 m SIF

These intersec�ons indicate the con�nued presence of iron forma�on east of AR25-09.

Eastern Step-Out – AR26-12 (Twin of 82-09)

Hole AR26-12, drilled approximately 100 metres east of AR25-09, intersected:

• 27.80 m – 49.65 m: 21.85 m SIF
• 80.00 m – 91.90 m: 11.90 m Iron Forma�on Breccia

These intersec�ons extend the iron forma�on east of AR25-09 and confirm the rock units drilled in hole 82-09.

Up-Dip Hole – AR26-13 (Twin of 84-08)

Hole AR26-13, drilled approximately 25 metres above AR26-14, intersected:

• 52.40 m – 56.00 m: 3.60 m SIF
• 56.00 m – 120.00 m: 64.00 m Mixed SIF and Dacite
• 120.00 m – 130.00 m: 10.00 m Andesite Tuff
• 130.00 m – 140.00 m: 10.00 m Mixed SIF and Dacite
• 149.00 m – 168.00 m: 19.00 m Mixed SIF and Dacite

These intersec�ons indicate mul�ple iron-forma�on intervals, confirming the rock units drilled in hole 84-08.

Twin and T-6 Zones Drilling Map

Western Step-Out – AR26-15 (Twin of 83-10)

Hole AR26-15, drilled approximately 125 metres west of AR25-09

Observed intervals include:

• 9.30 m – 14.70 m: 5.40 m Quartz Vein
• 14.70 m – 26.00 m: 11.30 m Mixed SIF and Dacite
• 26.00 m – 30.50 m: 4.50 m Quartz Breccia

Management Commentary

“These drill holes indicate that iron forma�on intersected at the Twin Zone occurs both above and below earlier drilling and extends laterally to the east and west,” stated Rasool Mohammad, CEO of Arya Resources.
