STAKEHOLDER ANNOUNCES NEW QP GEOLOGIST FOR BALLARAT, 2026

Adam Fage, MSc, PGeo, will work with Stakeholder Gold Corp. in the capacity of qualified person geologist. Mr. Fage will lead the company's coming exploration initiatives, planned to begin early spring 2026, on the 100-per-cent-owned Ballarat gold-copper project, which is located in the geographical heart of the White gold district of the Yukon territory, Canada.

Mr. Fage has several years of geological and exploration experience specific to the White gold district. This experience includes five years working on exploration of the Coffee gold project for Kaminak Gold Corp. prior to that company's successful sale to Goldcorp in 2016, as well as subsequent time spent working on the regional initiatives of GroundTruth Exploration Ltd., the leading exploration company in the district founded by successful prospector and entrepreneur Shawn Ryan.

"We are delighted to have Adam lead the exploration team at Ballarat starting early this spring 2026," said Chris Berlet, chief executive officer and director of Stakeholder.

"Adam has been integrally involved with the small teams that worked with great success on the most important new discoveries in the White gold district. Their work contributed directly to the rapid growth and success of the companies that are now developing the exciting new source deposit discoveries of the gold and copper deposits, which spurred the great Klondike gold rush.

"Mr. Fage's experience with the geology and deposits of the area will be invaluable as we seek to advance on two new discovery prospects which are situated on Stakeholder's Ballarat gold-copper project in the geographical centre of the district."

Mr. Fage commented, "I am looking forward to guiding exploration across the geochemical targets already defined at Ballarat using the same data-driven approach that has provided success elsewhere across the White gold district."

Mr. Fage is a licensed professional geoscientist in Ontario.

The Ballarat gold-copper project is located in the heart of the White gold district and benefits from excellent infrastructure access, including proximity to the proposed route for the Northern Gateway Road. Stakeholder continues to engage with regulatory authorities and local first nations while conducting exploration in accordance with all applicable environmental, wildlife and land use requirements.

Stakeholder also maintains in good standing 10 claims located inside the adjacent Coffee mine project, which is being developed by Fuerte Metals Corp. These combined claim holdings are referred to collectively as the Ballarat gold-copper project.

Within the company's contiguous claim holdings, Stakeholder is advancing exploration initiatives on the Skye gold zone and the Loki copper zone exploration targets, which are separated by about eight kilometres and which hold prospectivity for new gold and copper discoveries, respectively, on either side of the proposed route for the Northern Gateway Road, in the heart of the White gold district.

Stakeholder also generates cash flow from the production and sale of exotic stones through its 100-per-cent-owned Brazilian subsidiary Mineracao VMC Ltda.
