BULLFROG GOLD ANNOUNCES CONCURRENT DRILLING AND FIELD PROGRAM AT SOUTH BULLFROG CNW Group Thu, November 12, 2026 at 6:00 AM EST 6 min read FROG.V +15.38% GC=F -1.19% BFROF +2.34% VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 12, 2026 /CNW/ -- Bullfrog Gold Corporation ("Bullfrog Gold") (TSXV: FROG) (OTCQB: BFROF) announces that drilling will commence at South Bullfrog focusing on the fully permitted Longtail and Shingleback targets (Figure 1). In addition, Bullfrog Gold will concurrently resume surface exploration on the seven existing target areas and the emerging Frogspawn target area northeast of SE Block (Figure 1). Bullfrog Gold is planning to deploy approximately 3,000 meters of diamond drilling at Longtail and Shingleback with a planned start date of November 28, 2026. Assay results for this drilling program are anticipated in Q1 2027.
Bullfrog Gold holds a 100% interest in the 10,050 acre South Bullfrog gold project located in the heart of the Beatty District in the Walker Lane Trend in Nevada, surrounded by AngloGold's Bullfrog, North Bullfrog, and Arthur development projects (Figure 1).1,2,4
Drilling to commence at Longtail and Shingleback on November 28, 2026.
Surface exploration will resume concurrently with the drill program and includes structural and lithological geological mapping, surface alteration confirmation, and a new geochemical leakage sampling program.
Near-term discovery potential of this covered land position for oxide gold mineralization based on exposed favourable host rocks and widespread hydrothermal alteration.
"After five years of systematically advancing South Bullfrog we are commencing drilling of these exciting targets in the heart of the Beatty Gold District," comments Ian Slater, Founder and CEO. "Our ongoing field activities also continue to identify new pipeline targets including the Tadpole target along the Montgomery-Shoshone fault and the emerging Frogspawn target in the SE which consists of extensive alteration and highly anomalous pathfinder minerals in rock samples along splays from the Flourspar Canyon fault."
Longtail emerged as high-priority drill target due to coincident favourable host rocks, north trending damage zones (faults), alteration (Spectir, terraspec SWIR silica, clay), pathfinder geochemistry (rocks/soils mercury, arsenic and antimony) and geophysical (magnetics, gravity, IP) features. Four diamond drill holes to an average depth of 300 metres from three drill pads are planned (Figures 2 and 3). These holes are targeting a resistivity anomaly near the confluence of the Longtail and Bonding faults beneath a broad magnetic low feature. Surface alteration is evident in windows through the shallow alluvial cover with coincident anomalous mercury in rocks and soils.
Shingleback emerged as high-priority drill target due to coincident lithological, structural, alteration (Spectir/Terraspec SWIR silica and clay), pathfinder geochemistry (rocks/soil mercury, arsenic and antimony) and geophysical (magnetics, gravity, IP) features. Four diamond drill holes to a depth of 300 metres from separate drill pads are planned (Figures 4 and 5). Multiple holes are permitted from each pad. The first hole is targeting a resistivity anomaly near the confluence of the Basalt and T.S. faults. This brittle damage zone is below an area of extensive silicification and clay alteration in an area with historic shafts, adits and workings.
Surface Exploration Program
Bullfrog Gold is also commencing a surface program designed to leverage additional lithological and structural mapping, alteration verification, surface rock sampling and leakage sampling focused on fractures to enhance drill targeting. Surface exploration will cover all target areas but will focus on the new Tadpole, SE Block and the emerging Frogspawn targets (Figure 1).
Bullfrog Gold has granted 3,900,000 stock options at an exercise price of $0.15, with a five year term expiring November 10, 2031 to employees, directors, and officers of the company.

About Bullfrog Gold
Bullfrog Gold Corporation holds a 100% interest in the South Bullfrog gold project consisting of 488 BLM claims covering 10,050 acres in the heart of the Beatty District. The district was consolidated between 2021 and 2025 by AngloGold through the acquisitions of Corvus Gold (US$371M), Coeur Sterling (US$150M), and Augusta Gold ($197M).1,2,3,4 South Bullfrog is centrally located between AngloGold's Bullfrog, North Bullfrog, and Arthur development projects, with gold reserves totaling 6 million ounces Probable (164.65mt at 1.14 g/t Au) and gold resources (excluding reserves) of 7.6 million ounces Measured & Indicated (345.24mt at 0.69 g/t Au) and 8 million ounces Inferred (320.03mt at 0.78 g/t Au).4,5,6,7
At South Bullfrog two targets are drill permitted (Longtail and Shingleback) with five additional targets currently being permitted. These drill ready gold targets are supported by historic workings, surface pathfinder rock and soil geochemistry, surface alteration, magnetic, electromagnetic and gravity geophysics, and favourable host rocks.
