Stakeholder Discusses Ballarat Phase 1 Exploration Program

Posted on

Toronto, Ontario – April 21, 2025 – Stakeholder Gold Corp. (“Stakeholder” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: SRC, OTCQB: SKHRF, WKN: A2QEP1) is pleased to announce details of the upcoming 2,000 m exploration drilling program at the Company’s 100% owned Ballarat Gold-Copper Project (“Ballarat” or “The Project”). Drilling is expected to begin on or around May 1st, 2026.

Ballarat is located in the geographical center of the White Gold District of the Yukon Territory, Canada. The Project is situated due north of Fuerte Metals Corp.’s (TSX-V: FMT) Coffee Gold Project,  northwest of Western Copper Gold Corp.’s (TSX: WRN) Casino Project and west, south and southeast of White Gold Corp.’s (TSX-V: WGO) extensive regional exploration initiatives.

The Ballarat Project straddles 20 km of the planned Northern Access Route (Coffee Northern Access Route) where it heads north from the Yukon River (see Figure 1). The Project is located within an underexplored portion of the White Gold District and is currently host to four developed gold and copper exploration prospects which have been selected for testing via a series of shallow diamond drillholes targeting near surface oxide mineralization.

Skye Gold Zone

The Skye Gold Zone is a structurally hosted gold target(s) located in the north-center section of the Ballarat Project claims (Figure 2) and consists of two subparallel, 1.9 km (north limb) and 1.3 km (south limb) gold in soil trends hosted within felsic gneissic rocks. These trends evidence minor tellurium, silver, molybdenum, lead, and zinc indicator mineral anomalies which are associated with ENE oriented structures.

2026 drilling will test both the north and south limbs of this prospect. The Skye Gold Zone north limb and south limb are considered greenfield targets and have not been drill tested in the past.

Loki Copper Zone

The Loki Copper Zone consists of a 2.3 km x 600 m anomalous copper in soils signature associated with a WNW trending Jurassic aged intrusive unit. This intrusive unit is assigned to the Minto Suite of rocks. This structural setting, and the Minto Suite affiliation, indicates potential for mineralization similar to Selkirk Copper’s Minto Mine, which is located some 92 km to the southeast.

The Loki Copper Zone is situated east of Ballarat Creek within the southeast sector of the Company’s claim holdings (Figure 2). It is located adjacent to the Northern Access Route where it is planned to traverse the southern section of Company claims.

2026 drilling will target the high-grade core of the copper in soil anomaly which contains multiple samples in the 99.9th percentile range for copper soils in the region (based on the Yukon Geological Survey’s assessment report geochemistry compilation). The Loki Copper Zone is considered a greenfield target and has not been drill tested in the past.

East Zone

The East Zone is a structurally hosted gold target consisting of a 700 x 600 m gold in soil anomaly (with minor tellurium, silver, and zinc) hosted within a felsic gneissic unit, located along strike from, and to the northeast of, the Skye Gold Zone (Figure 2). A limited RAB drilling program was completed on the southern portion of the East Zone in 2016.

The 2016 drill program did encounter low grade gold mineralization (up to 0.856 g/t Au over 3.04 m) but it is not considered to have targeted the core of the structural features that may host gold mineralization. The 2026 program will revisit this target and test the northern portion of these structural features.

Northwest Zone

The Northwest Zone is a structurally hosted gold target which consists of two parallel gold in soil anomalies (2.3 and 1.8 km in length respectively) hosted within metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks (Figure 2). The Northwest Zone is located directly South of White Gold Corp.’s Black Fox Project. A limited 5-hole diamond drilling program was completed in 2012 with results up to 0.945 g/t Au over 3 m which only tested the periphery of the geochemical anomaly. 2026 drilling will target the untested core of the soil anomaly.

Additional exploration activity planned for 2026 includes a grid soil sampling program across the southwest portion of the Project as well as geological mapping and prospecting along the path for the Northern Access Route where road cuts are expected to expose multiple kilometers of bedrock with concurrent soil exposures.

The Northern Access Route is expected to crosscut the eastern strike extension of the Skye Gold Zone and the western strike extension of the Loki Copper Zone. 15.5 km of the 20 km length of the Northern Access Route that lies within the Company’s Ballarat Property is new construction and will provide road access to within 800 m of the East Zone and 200 m of the Loki Copper Zone respectively, when construction is completed.

The first tranche was completed at a price of $1.10 per unit for a total of 1,000,000 units, and the second tranche was completed at a price of $1.19 per unit for a total of 1,000,000 Units (collectively, the “Private Placement”).

Each flow-through unit consists of one common share of the Company issued on a flow-through basis pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada) and one half of one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional common share of the Company at an exercise price of $1.20 per share for a period of two (2) years from the date of issuance.

Each whole Warrant has an early exercise provision that allows the Company to trigger exercise of the Warrant when the 10-day average price of Common Shares traded on the TSX Venture Exchange exceeds $1.50 per share. Thirty days (30) after the trigger date, any unexercised Warrants will be deemed to be null and void. All securities issued under this Private Placement will be subject to a ‘hold’ period expiring four months and one day from the date of closing.

“Stakeholder is now fully funded for 2026 exploration on Ballarat,” stated Christopher Berlet, CEO of Stakeholder.

“Our objective is to be drilling the Skye and East (gold) and Loki (copper) zone targets as soon as possible after the Spring snow melt. Shareholders can expect news describing exploration target highlights before drilling begins. After significant preparation, we are set to launch an exciting exploration season on the company’s Ballarat Gold-Copper Project located in the geographical center of the White Gold District of the Yukon Territory, Canada.”

The gross proceeds from the Private Placement will be used to fund eligible Canadian exploration expenditures, including expenditures that qualify as Critical Mineral and non-Critical Mineral exploration expenses, as defined under the Income Tax Act (Canada). The Company intends to incur qualifying expenditures on its exploration properties in Canada and to renounce such expenditures to subscribers effective December 31, 2026.

Adam Fage MSc, P.Geo 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 Corporation 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, CEO 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 center of the District.”

Adam 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.
