STARDUST METAL NOW TRADING ON THE TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE UNDER THE SYMBOL ZIGY

Stardust Metal Corp.'s common shares have commenced trading on the TSX Venture Exchange.

"Graduating to the TSX Venture Exchange is an exciting milestone as Stardust enters an important period of growth. The substantial work completed this summer has sharpened our understanding of Omega, McGarry and Kirkland West, and confirmed the significant exploration and resource-growth potential across our asset base. With compelling targets defined and fall drilling approaching, Stardust is exceptionally well positioned to unlock value in the Kirkland Lake gold district," said Janet Meiklejohn of Stardust Metal.

The TSX-V listing will be complemented by an expanded marketing program directed at institutional and retail investors, designed to bring Stardust's unique investment proposition to a much wider audience. Much of that story tells itself: Stardust's assets sit in the world-class Kirkland Lake gold district, surrounded by Tier 1 operators including Agnico Eagle and Barrick, and neighbouring Pierre Lassonde's Cadillac Mines.

Stardust's common shares began trading on the TSX-V under the symbol ZIGY on Thursday, Sept. 3, 2026. In connection with the commencement of trading on the TSX-V, the company's common shares have been delisted from the Canadian Securities Exchange.
