## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

**OceanaGold Announces Additional High-Grade Drill Results at Haile**

VANCOUVER, BC, May 12, 2026 /CNW/ - OceanaGold Corporation (TSX: OGC) (NYSE: OGC) ("OceanaGold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce high-grade results from its ongoing exploration and resource conversion drilling program at the Haile Gold Mine ("Haile") in the United States.

**Drilling Highlights (core length):**

Horseshoe Underground (*conversion and extension drilling*):

* **15.5 m @ 30.64 g/t Au (UGD0121)**

* **30.5 m @ 13.86 g/t Au (UGD0113)**

* **22.5 m @ 13.42 g/t Au (UGD0122)**

* **18.4 m @ 9.62 g/t Au (UGD0119)**

* **21.9 m @ 6.48 g/t Au *including 3.7 m @ 23.55 g/t Au* (UGD0120)**

* **26.3 m @ 3.41 g/t Au and 44.3 m @ 3.72 g/t Au (UGD0107)**

Ledbetter Underground (*conversion drilling*):

* **27.9 m @ 8.60 g/t Au (DDH1313)**

* **27.9 m @ 4.16 g/t Au (DDH1319)**

* **18.4 m @ 3.68 g/t Au (DDH1317)**

* **13.0 m @ 2.25 g/t Au and 17.1 m @ 8.20 g/t Au (DDH1283)**

* **2.6 m @ 9.63 g/t Au and 3.3 m @ 40.45 g/t Au (DDH1315)**

Clydesdale (*initial drilling*):

* **14.5 m @ 15.81 g/t Au *including 4.5 m @ 41.6 g/t Au (DDH1305)***

Gerard Bond, President and CEO of OceanaGold, said "Our ongoing exploration success at Haile continues to demonstrate our ability to add tremendous value through the drill bit. At Horseshoe, recent drilling points to reserve growth potential near existing infrastructure, with mineralization still open in multiple directions. Results from Ledbetter are strengthening confidence in down-plunge resource conversion, and a new significant high-grade intercept at Clydesdale confirms its potential as an emerging target area. As development of the Palomino decline progresses, we look forward to advancing these opportunities with further drilling from underground in the near term."

**Horseshoe Underground**

The Horseshoe Underground has defined Mineral Reserves (see news release dated February 18, 2026) as well as three discrete zones of mineralization to the southwest (Horseshoe extensions), known as the upper (surface to 900mRL), middle (900mRl to 730mRL) and lower (below 730mRL) zones. Notably, all three of these zones are near both existing and planned underground development infrastructure. Success from the 2025 exploration program added Inferred Mineral Resources to the upper zone for the first time, while also expanding the Inferred Mineral Resources in the middle and lower zones. On the main Horseshoe orebody, the 2025 resource estimate resulted in conversion of Inferred to Indicated Mineral Resources in the lower mineralized zones. The 2026 drill program focuses on both resource conversion and extension of the main Horseshoe orebody and the three zones at Horseshoe extensions.

At Horseshoe extensions (Figure 1), drilling totalling 14 holes for 4,372 m has targeted both conversion and extension opportunities. In the upper zone, the results of two holes - 15.5 m @ 30.64 g/t Au (UGD0121) and 18.4 m @ 9.62 g/t Au (UGD0119), confirm the continuity of the mineralization. Results from two extension holes in the upper zone - 21.9 m @ 6.48 g/t Au *including 3.7 m @ 23.55 g/t Au* (UGD0120) and 22.5 m @ 13.42 g/t Au (UGD0122), support expansion of the known mineralization in the area (Figure 2).

Significant results between the middle and lower zones include 25.8 m @ 3.63 g/t Au (UGD0126) and 16.4 m @ 4.11 g/t Au (UGD0104), extending known mineralization to the west (Figure 2). Extensional drilling at the bottom of the lower zone returned 26.3 m @ 3.41 g/t Au and 44.3 m @ 3.72 g/t (UGD0107), adding mineralization at depth outside of the known resource. The lower zone remains open in multiple directions with additional follow-up drilling planned in this area (Figure 2).

Since the last resource estimate, conversion drilling totalling 1,258 m in 4 holes has continued to target conversion of Inferred Mineral Resources in the lower levels of the main Horseshoe orebody (Figure 2). Notable intercepts include: 12.2 m @ 24.14 g/t Au (UGD0112); and 30.5 m @ 13.86 g/t Au (UGD0113). These results are in-line with the resource model and are expected to be included the next reserve update.

**Ledbetter Underground**

The Company announced in February 2026 a change in the mining method for the final pit phase of Ledbetter to an underground mining mine. This has expanded the exploration opportunity at Ledbetter, as mineralization outside the prior pit shell is now potentially economic.

In 2025, the Company began a drill program targeting known mineralization with the goal of converting Inferred Mineral Resources and increasing confidence down plunge of the existing reserve in an area referred to as Lobe 3. Eight holes have been drilled since the Company's news release dated September 11, 2025, with new drilling totalling 4,306 m. The highlight of the Ledbetter drilling is 27.9 m @ 4.16 g/t Au (DDH1319) in Lobe 3, which has infilled a gap in known resources, demonstrating continuity of high-grade mineralization. To the northeast, holes DDH1315 and DDH1317 targeted the conversion of Inferred Mineral Resources and returned higher grades than the model predicted, including a result of 18.44 m @ 3.68 g/t Au (DDH1317) (Figure 3).

**Advanced Drilling Targets – Clydesdale & Pisces**

The Clydesdale target is located 100 m northwest of Palomino and approximately 300 m stratigraphically lower at approximately 800 m below surface. Drilling continues at Clydesdale with early-stage exploration results now reporting a second mineralized intercept showing good width and grade of 14.5 m @ 15.81 g/t Au (DDH1305) (refer to VRIFY). The Company has now defined two mineralized intercepts in this area (DDH1282, 6.2 m @ 4.11 g/t Au, previously reported), with additional drilling ongoing to further define the potential of this new mineralized zone.

The Pisces target is located along the corridor between the Horseshoe and Palomino deposits at approximately 550 m below surface and close to existing and planned underground infrastructure. Drilling at Pisces is ongoing, with ~6,500 m planned. The work is focused on further understanding the distribution of the high-grade mineralization in the area.

**2026 Exploration Program**

There are approximately 34,500 m of drilling planned at Haile for 2026 from both surface and underground. Drilling will continue to focus on resource conversion at Horseshoe Underground, including targeting expansions of the upper, middle and lower zones to the southwest. At Ledbetter Underground, drilling will continue to infill and test extensions to Lobe 3. Clydesdale and Pisces drilling will also continue from surface through the year, with the ability to accelerate the program once the Palomino decline is in place, providing access to new drill locations at shorter distances. Results from recent drilling and ongoing refinement of the geologic model have resulted in a better understanding on the structural controls on mineralization, allowing for the systematic generation of targets to be explored in the coming years.

**Qualified Person Statement**

The scientific and technical information in this press release has been reviewed and approved by Mr. Keenan Jennings, a qualified person under National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects of the Canadian Securities Administrators ("NI 43-101"). Mr. Jennings is the EVP, Chief Exploration Officer of OceanaGold.

**Quality Assurance and Quality Control ("QA/QC")**

From July 2017 to 2025, almost all Haile exploration core samples have been prepared at the ALS lab in Tucson, Arizona, and analyzed at the ALS lab in Reno, Nevada, each of which is independent from OceanaGold. Select resource conversion core samples were also prepared and analyzed at the SGS lab in Kershaw, South Carolina in 2025, which is also independent from OceanaGold, with confirmation pulp duplicates sent to the ALS lab in Reno, Nevada. Samples are pulverized from a 250g (ALS) or 450g (SGS) sample to 85% passing 75 mesh. Approximately 225g of pulp sample is used for fire assay. Assays are based on a 30g fire assay aliquot for gold with Atomic Absorption finish. If the gold value from Atomic Absorption is >10g/t, an additional 30g of pulp sample is fire assayed for gold using a gravimetric finish.

Some holes are composited and analyzed for carbon, sulphur and multi-elements using LECO and ICP-OES methods. Both ALS and SGS labs used for OceanaGold samples are ISO 17025 certified.

Blanks and standards are each inserted every 20th sample. Precision and accuracy of certified reference materials ("CRMs") compared to expected values have been consistently within 5% RSD and often within 3%. Barren marble and sand are inserted as blanks every 20th sample. CRMs from RockLabs and OREAS are inserted every 20th sample (5%). All blanks and CRMs are handled by the OceanaGold Geology Team and are stored in the locked OceanaGold office.

All drill hole samples are handled and transported from the drill rigs to the secured Haile Exploration warehouse by OceanaGold personnel or contractors. Access to the property is controlled by locked doors and cameras monitored by OceanaGold security. The main gate requires an electronic employee badge to enter. Samples are packaged at the Haile Exploration warehouse by OceanaGold geologists and geotechnicians. Samples are trucked in sealed plastic barrels by certified couriers with submittal forms that are verified during sample pick-up and delivery to ALS. No sample shipments have been recorded as missing or tampered with.

**Cautionary Statements for United States Readers**

The scientific and technical disclosure in this news release was prepared in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"), which differs from the scientific and technical disclosure requirements of the SEC that are applicable to domestic United States reporting companies. Any Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources reported by the Company in accordance with NI 43-101 may not qualify as such under SEC standards, including Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K under the United States Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Accordingly, Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves information and other scientific and technical information contained or referenced in this news release may not be comparable to similar scientific and technical information disclosed by United States public companies subject to the reporting and technical disclosure requirements of the SEC. Historical results or feasibility models presented herein are not guarantees or expectations of future performance. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Due to the uncertainty of measured, indicated or inferred mineral resources, these mineral resources may never be upgraded to proven and probable mineral reserves. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves or recovered. In addition, United States investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the Company's measured, indicated or inferred mineral resources constitute or will be converted into mineral reserves or are or will be economically or legally mineable without additional work.
