TORONTO, Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Blossom Gold Inc. (formerly, 1290448 B.C. Ltd.) (“Blossom” or the “Company”) (TSX: BGAU) is pleased to announce further drill results from its ongoing 2026 exploration program at the Rosebud Open-Pit Heap-Leach Project (“Rosebud” or the “Project”) in Pershing County, Nevada. This release builds on exploration results reported on June 30, 2026 and August 12, 2026 and highlights continued expansion and infill success across the South, East and Northwest Zones.

Highlights

• South Zone: Thick gold mineralization continues to surround the historic south mined zones and extend up-dip along the South Ridge Fault Zone. BG26-031 intersected 44.8m @ 1.22gAu/t from 149.8m, including 3.2m @ 5.06gAu/t from 181.8m.
• Near-surface oxide: RC26-009 intersected 60.1m @ 0.33gAu/t from surface, including 19.6m @ 0.68gAu/t from 40.5m, and RC26-010 intersected 14.6m @ 0.24gAu/t in the oxidized domain of the South Zone.
• East Zone: BG26-042 intersected 106.8m @ 0.42gAu/t from 74.8m, including 24.2m @ 0.72gAu/t from 156.0m. This supports a broad halo of gold mineralization around the historic mine workings.
• Maiden Northwest Zone hole: BG26-033 intersected 18.5m @ 0.20gAu/t from 38.9m, starting at the upper bedrock contact. This may be part of a shallow zone of mineralization extending across the north part of the deposit.
• Program update: Four rigs are operating, with 11,585m (38,000 ft) remaining in the 2026 surface program. The 8,230m (27,000 ft) underground infill program is expected to begin in Q4 2026, and an updated Mineral Resource Estimate is expected in Q1 2027.

“The Blossom exploration program is picking up the pace, with 19,911m of drilling completed so far this year. Our third batch of results continues to demonstrate the scale of the mineralized system at Rosebud, both around the historic workings and in the areas the underground operation left behind,” said Rick Winters, CEO of Blossom Gold. “In the South Zone, BG26-031 returned 44.8m @ 1.22gAu/t, including 3.2m @ 5.06gAu/t, confirming thick gold mineralization around the historic south mined zones. Closer to surface, our reverse circulation drilling delivered as well, with RC26-009 intersecting 60.1m @ 0.33gAu/t from surface in oxidized material. That is the kind of near-surface mineralization our open-pit, heap-leach vision is built on. In the East Zone, BG26-042 intersected 106.8m @ 0.42gAu/t, further defining the broad halo of mineralization around the old mine. Our first hole in the Northwest Zone also found gold mineralization starting at the upper bedrock contact, which points to a potential shallow zone across the north part of the deposit.”

“We have four rigs turning 24/7, with 11,585m of surface drilling remaining in the 2026 program. Rehabilitation of the underground portal is on track to establish drill bays and begin the 8,230m underground infill program in the fourth quarter. Together, these programs will inform the updated Mineral Resource Estimate we expect to deliver in the first quarter of 2027,” added Mr. Winters.

Technical drilling for permitting and design work is now 100% complete, with expansion resource drilling the focus of the ongoing program. Three core drill rigs and one RC rig remain devoted to drilling aimed at expanding and upgrading the existing inferred open-pit resource of 70.8 million tons at 0.018opt Au (0.62gAu/t) and 0.189opt Ag (6.49gAg/t) for 1.28 million ounces of gold and 13.4 million ounces of silver (see About Blossom Gold section below for more information).

In the South Zone, results from diamond drill holes BG26-031, -041, and RC drill holes RC26-009 and -010 combined with previously reported South Zone drill holes, confirm that significant thicknesses of gold mineralization surround the historic south mined zones and continue up-dip along the South Ridge fault zone, with gold grade extending to or near the top of bedrock. The oxidized domain extends to depths ranging from 20-75 meters below the surface.

In the East Zone, results from diamond drill holes BG26-039 and -042, together with previously reported East Zone drill holes, support the presence of a broad halo of gold mineralization surrounding historic mine workings and extending south and westwards along strike towards the South Zone. Gold mineralization intercepted by these two drill holes is in the non-oxidized domain.

Diamond drill hole BG26-033 targeted the Northwest Zone and indicates there is a zone of gold mineralization starting at the upper bedrock contact. These results are similar to previously reported results from Site T in the Northeast Zone and may represent a shallow zone of mineralization extending across the north part of the deposit. Additional recent drilling from Site M of hydrothermally altered and mineralized rocks suggests this zone may extend to the northwest of BG26-033. Assay results for drill holes from Site M are pending.

“Drilling of the up-dip South Ridge fault zone targets is showing two zones of gold mineralization each hosted by dacite flows and breccia” stated Dr. John DeDecker, VP, Exploration of Blossom. “The upper zone is in the oxidized domain and is near-surface, and the lower zone is higher grade, in the non-oxidized domain, and occurs at depth surrounding the historic mine workings. The presence of elevated gold grades in dacite is consistent with the interpretation by the former mine geologists that coherent volcanic rocks are more susceptible to fracturing and vein formation than strongly clay and chlorite altered fine-grained tuffaceous rocks are.”

As previously noted, drill hole assay results are reported by zone over the approximately 2km by 1.6km open pit target; the Northwest, Northeast, Southwest, South, and East Zones, as illustrated in Figure 1. In the East and South Zones, the target is up dip extension of South Ridge Fault Zone (SRFZ) mineralization above the previously mined orebodies in areas of low drill density owing to the historic focus on high grade underground mineralization. The Northeast and Northwest zones are in the Rosebud Shear Zone with low, historic drill density. Expansion drilling in these zones target the potential to add resource and push the resource pit shell to the north. The Southwest Zone is also in the Rosebud Shear Zone domain and targets areas of low drill density to potentially expand the open pit resource to the property boundary in the southwest of the Rosebud claims.

Drill hole inclination is taken into account to determine the true thickness of mineralized intervals from surface. All intervals Blossom reports will be true thicknesses unless otherwise noted. Only gold values are reported. In-situ, the silver to gold ratio at Rosebud is 10:1 based on the 43-101 technical report as well as historic production, adjusted for recoveries. However, Blossom will report gold only as opposed to gold equivalent results until such time the Company has better information on forecast silver recoveries from the ongoing metallurgical testing.

To date, the Company has drilled 19,911 meters of the planned 31,496-meter surface drilling campaign.

About Blossom Gold Inc.

Blossom is a Canadian-based precious metals exploration and development company that recently began trading on the TSX under the symbol BGAU. Blossom acquired the Rosebud Project in connection with the TSX-listing and will be focused on the exploration and development of the project. The Rosebud Project includes the former Rosebud Mine, where mining was conducted from 1997 through 2000 by the Rosebud Mining Company, a Newmont-Hecla joint venture, using underground mining methods where the mine operated at a cut-off grade of approximately 0.2 opt Au (6.8 gAu/t), when gold prices ranged from US$250 to US$350/oz; with mined material truck-hauled approximately 120 miles to an existing Newmont oxide mill for processing.

The current vision for the Rosebud Project is to evaluate the remaining higher-grade mineralization and the surrounding larger volume of lower grade mineralization as a potential open pit mining operation with on-site, heap-leach processing and recovery of gold and silver. The Rosebud Project currently hosts an Inferred Mineral Resource of 70.755 million tons grading 0.62gAu/t (0.018opt Au) and 6.49gAg/t (0.189opt Ag) for 1.28 million ounces of gold and 13.4 million ounces of silver. The mineral resource estimate was open pit constrained using long term gold and silver prices of US$2,500 and US$35 per ounce respectively. The deposit is open in all directions.

Biodesix-led tumor-informed and tumor-naïve programs draw on the company’s bioinformatics and diagnostics test development expertise

LOUISVILLE, Colo., Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Biodesix, Inc. (Nasdaq: BDSX), a leading diagnostics solutions company, today announced strategic progress in two collaborative programs for tumor-informed and tumor-naïve Molecular Residual Disease (MRD) solutions intended to support cancer centers and clinical laboratories. Both solutions detect circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), the tumor DNA that a cancer sheds into the blood, to assess whether disease remains or is returning after treatment. The tumor-informed solution is the result of a multi-year collaboration with Bio-Rad Laboratories. The tumor-naïve solution is a newly launched program with Thermo Fisher Scientific that extends a collaboration for companion diagnostic validation and other development work. Both approaches will be validated by Biodesix in collaboration with key investigators at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) and are designed to run on partner platforms already installed in laboratories around the world.

“Our approach to MRD reflects a core conviction: sensitivity matters, and so does patient access. We are building ultra-sensitive assays with global collaborators whose platforms can carry those assays to laboratories and patients around the world,” said Scott Hutton, Chief Executive Officer of Biodesix. “Offering both tumor-informed and tumor-naïve MRD means the clinical question can drive the testing strategy, rather than forcing a single approach in every situation. We believe this work positions Biodesix to participate in the growth of MRD testing well beyond the patients that can be reached through a centralized laboratory model.”

No single MRD approach serves every patient. Tumor-informed testing is generally the most sensitive option when tumor tissue is available, and tumor-naïve testing extends monitoring to patients whose tissue is unavailable or insufficient. Biodesix is advancing both, drawing on its proprietary Diagnostic Cortex^® bioinformatics platform, its experience developing, validating, and commercializing diagnostic tests in its CAP-accredited, CLIA- and NYS CLEP-certified laboratory, and its track record in companion diagnostics test validation with global partners. The two programs build on MRD data that Biodesix and its collaborators have presented at scientific meetings over the past two years. Together they represent the first time Biodesix has outlined its MRD strategy as a whole and represents an expansion of the company’s focus beyond lung diagnostics into a rapidly growing area of precision oncology.

Tumor-informed MRD

For the tumor-informed solution, Biodesix profiles a patient’s tumor tissue using its proprietary Diagnostic Cortex^® bioinformatics platform to identify multiple complex genomic changes unique to that individual. Bio-Rad’s Droplet Digital™ PCR technology is then used to track those changes in blood over the course of the patient’s care, partitioning each sample into thousands of separate reactions so that individual tumor molecules can be counted. The ultra-sensitive informatics and analysis workflows detect ctDNA below 1 part per million (ppm) of the total DNA in a blood sample.

“Detecting molecular residual disease means finding a handful of molecules in a complex background, the precise application for which Droplet Digital PCR has an advantage over other technologies. Our multi-year work with Biodesix has focused on making that sensitivity practical in routine laboratories. We look forward to supporting broad access to these solutions and the positive impact they will have on patient lives,” said Steve Kulisch, Vice President of Genomics Product Management, Bio-Rad Laboratories.

Tumor-naïve MRD

The tumor-naïve solution detects methylated ctDNA in blood using rapid next-generation sequencing on the Genexus™ platform from Thermo Fisher Scientific. Biodesix has begun developing and validating this assay in its CAP-accredited, CLIA- and NYS CLEP-certified laboratory as part of the Thermo Fisher Center of Excellence Network. Because the method reads methylation patterns rather than mutations unique to an individual tumor, it requires no tumor tissue. This means the test can potentially help patients who otherwise would not have been eligible for an MRD test because their archived tissue is unavailable or insufficient.

“Methylation carries a rich biological signal, and rapid analytic and informatics workflows make it possible to act on that signal in a clinically relevant timeframe,” said Gary Pestano, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer of Biodesix. “By providing both tumor-informed and tumor-naïve approaches, Biodesix can reach more of the patients who may benefit from molecular monitoring throughout their cancer journey.”

Upcoming presentations

Gary Pestano, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer of Biodesix, will join a spotlight panel on the future of MRD at the 5th Annual Roth Healthcare Opportunities Conference.

Panel Title: The Rise of MRD Monitoring in Solid Tumors and Where it Goes Next
Date and Time: Tuesday, September 29, 2026, 2:00 PM ET
Location: The Metropolitan Club, New York, NY
Panelists:

• Gary Pestano, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer, Biodesix, Inc. (Nasdaq: BDSX)
• Amal Thommil, MRD Monitoring Specialist, DeciBio
• Pedram Razavi, M.D., Ph.D., Medical Oncologist, Director of Liquid Biopsy & Cancer Genomics, MSK

Data supporting both MRD programs will be presented at the AMP 2026 Annual Meeting in November 2026 in Seattle, with additional data planned for the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium in December 2026. The presentations will feature continued collaborative work with MSK, Bio-Rad Laboratories, and Thermo Fisher Scientific.

The Coloplast story begins back in 1954. Elise Sørensen is a nurse. Her sister Thora has just had an ostomy operation and is afraid to go out in public, fearing that her stoma might leak. Listening to her sister’s problems, Elise conceives the idea of the world’s first adhesive ostomy bag. Based on Elise’s idea, Aage Louis-Hansen, a civil engineer and plastics manufacturer, and his wife Johanne Louis Hansen, a trained nurse, created the ostomy bag. A bag that does not leak, giving Thora – and thousands of people like her – the chance to live the life they want. A simple solution that makes a difference. Today, the Coloplast Group develops products and services that help millions of people live more independent lives through solutions tailored to their needs. Globally, our business areas include Ostomy Care, Continence Care, Voice & Respiratory Care, Wound & Tissue Repair, and Interventional Urology
