Adyton Reports First Drill Intercepts of up to 36 Grams per Tonne Gold from Its Wapolu Drill Campaign
Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea--(Newsfile Corp. - May 6, 2025) - Adyton Resources Corporation (TSXV: ADY) ("Adyton" or the "Company") is pleased to provide its first assay results from its drill campaign at Wapolu and an update on its ongoing development activities at the Wapolu and Gameta deposits on Fergusson Island in Papua New Guinea.
KEY HIGHLIGHT
Significant Intercepts up to 36 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) reported from the first samples of a 4,300 meter (m), 48 drillhole program at Wapolu including the following notable gold intercepts:
- WPDH001: 5m @ 1.66g/t Au (from 5m)
- WPDH001: 8m @ 2.36g/t Au (from 16m)
- WPDH002: 6m @ 2.46g/t Au (from 8m)
- WPDH002: 4m @ 9.85g/t Au (from 19m) incl. 1m @ 36g/t Au
- WPDH006: 6m @ 2.32g/t Au (from 15m)
Tim Crossley, Chief Executive Officer stated:
"We are pleased to have received the first batch of results from our Wapolu campaign, which are consistent with expectations and confirm the Resource is near surface, with the majority of mineralization occurring at depths of less than 40 meters. It is always encouraging to see some stellar grades which, if replicated in future holes, are likely to materially increase the current reported Resource grade. Additional assay results are expected progressively over May and June. Although it is early days, these results bode well for the JVs near-term development plans for a low cost, shallow open-pit surface mining operation."

Project Update
Adytons's JV partner, EVIH, has completed the current phase of drilling at Wapolu. Most of the field equipment has been relocated to Gameta and the construction of the Gameta drill camp is well advanced and drilling commenced on Sunday 4 May 2025. All Wapolu analytical and metallurgical samples have now been dispatched for testing.
At Adyton's projects, numerous local jobs have been created, providing employment opportunities in areas with limited job prospects.
Background
Adyton's projects are in PNG on easily accessible island locations. The Gameta and Wapolu projects are located on Fergusson Island in the Milne Bay province of PNG which also hosts the Woodlark project (1.6Moz) and the Misima project (5.0Moz) (refer to map of PNG deposits at end of document).
