STAKEHOLDER GOLD CORP. CONFIRMS 2026 DRILL PROGRAM AT BALLARAT PROPERTY, TARGETING SIGNIFICANT GOLD AND COPPER ANOMALIES

Stakeholder Gold Corp. has confirmed its 2026 exploration drill program at the Ballarat gold-copper project, located in the Yukon territory. The 2,000-metre diamond drilling program will test several high-priority gold and copper geochemical soil anomalies located within prospective geology and proximal to placer gold producing creeks.

To execute the program, the company has signed a drilling contract with Platinum Diamond Drilling Inc., a highly experienced Northern drilling contractor with a strong operational record. The exploration program will be managed by Osprey Long Range Inc., based in Dawson City, Yukon. Osprey is providing project management, logistical co-ordination and technical services for the program.

The coming drill program is scheduled to be undertaken in May, 2026, and represents a significant step forward in advancing the Ballarat project. The Ballarat drill targets possess regionally significant gold- and copper-in-soil anomalies supported by favourable geology and structural setting.

Adam Fage, PGeo, has been appointed as the qualified person for the program as defined under National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Fage has reviewed and approved the technical content of this news release.

About Stakeholder Gold Corp.

Stakeholder holds 100-per-cent ownership of 930 contiguous mineral claims covering 18,520 hectares and spanning 20 kilometres of the proposed route for the Northern Gateway Road, which is being developed through the geographical centre of the White Gold district of the Yukon territory, Canada. 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. VMC is currently producing from four independent stone quarries, and is seeking opportunities to expand the sale and export of exotic stone building materials from Brazil.
