Ballarat Gold-Copper Project

Ballarat Gold-Copper Project         Gold and Copper Exploration Project

White Gold District                            Gold, Copper

Yukon Territory, Canada

Stakeholder Gold Corp. holds a 100% ownership interest in the 19,440-hectare Ballarat Gold-Copper Project located in the Heart of the White Gold District of the Yukon Territory, Canada. The Yukon Territory is a Tier-1 Mining Jurisdiction hosting globally competitive mineral endowments in a regulatory environment favorable to responsible extractive initiatives.

The Ballarat Gold-Copper Project is located within the prolific Tintina Gold Province which extends for more than 1,000 km from the Yukon Territory into the State of Alaska along the northern length of the North American Cordillera (Figure #1).

The Ballarat Gold-Copper Project covers 19,440 hectares and is situated northeast of the Newmont Corp. (NYSE: NEM) Coffee Mine Project, due north of the Western Copper and Gold Corp. (TSX: WRN) world class Casino Project and south, west and east of the White Gold Corp. (TSX-V: WGO) White Gold Project (Figure #2).

The Company’s Ballarat Project claim group also includes title to 10 claims located within the nearby Fuerte Metals Corp. (TSX-V: FMT) Coffee Mine Project which is being developed by Newmont Corp. (NYSE: NEM) south of the Yukon river (Figure #2).

The Ballarat Gold-Copper Project is located in the center of the prolific White Gold District. An estimated 17 km of the Northern Gateway Road which is planned to connect Dawson City with the Coffee Mine Project will be developed through the middle of company claims. The Resource Gateway Road will bring significant logistical advantages to project development and will support the long term economic prospects of the entire district (Figure #3).

Skye Gold Zone

The Skye Gold Zone is located in the north-center section of the Ballarat Gold-Copper Project claims and consists of two, subparallel, 1.9 km and 1.3 km gold in soil trends associated with ENE oriented structures. The southern of these two structures is also open to the southwest. These subparallel structures are found to be coincident with low-resistivity zones outlined in VLF-EM surveys. These low resistivity zones dip moderately to steeply northwest and are interpreted to be primary structural controls for gold mineralization in the district.

This structural setting is very similar to other known zones of gold mineralization in the area, including the Golden Saddle Deposit, which is located some 30 km to the northwest.

The Skye Gold Zone is situated north and east of Ballarat Creek within the northwest sector of the Company’s claim holdings. It is located approximately 1-3 km west of the route proposed for the Northern Gateway Road where it is expected to traverse the northern section of Company claims.

Loki Copper Zone

The Loki Copper Zone is located approximately 8 km SE of the Skye Gold Zone and consists of a 2.3 km x 530 m anomalous copper in soils signature associated with a WNW trending Jurassic aged intrusive unit. This intrusive unit is assigned to the Minto Suite.

This structural setting and Minto Suite affiliation indicates potential for mineralization similar to the Minto Mine Cu-Ag-Au, 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. It is located approximately 1 km east of the route proposed for the Northern Gateway Road where it is expected to traverse the southern section of Company claims.

“Our objective for early 2026 is to be able to announce results confirming two new discoveries, one for each of the Skye Gold Zone and the Loki Copper Zone, on the Ballarat Gold-Copper Project in the heart of the White Gold District of the Yukon Territory. We have worked progressively towards this objective over several exploration seasons. 2026 is expected to be a pivotal year for Stakeholder and for our understanding of the mineralogical potential of the gold and copper trends, respectively, that we have identified and outlined on Ballarat.”

“If results of drilling confirm mineralization and grade as we expect them to, then we have the potential to identify two new discoveries which are separated by some 8 km and which are located on either side of the planned route for the Northern Gateway Road which is expected to traverse over 17 km through the center of company claims. The locational advantages of these geological targets, when combined with our understanding of structure and footprint, can lead us quickly to an estimation of size and potential.”

Further Mineralization

East Zone

The East Zone target area has been significantly enlarged. What originated as just 6 contiguous gold anomalous ridge & spur soil samples has been expanded to an area at least 600 m northeast-southwest by at least 300 m northwest-southeast; the gold anomaly remains open to the northeast.

Two float rock samples of quartz feldspar biotite gneiss collected from the Eastern zone, strongly altered with quartz, sericite and ankerite, yielded values of 0.759 g/t and 0.587 g/t gold.

Interpretations of DEM topography and satellite imagery suggest that the East Zone occurs at the confluence of three major faults.

Soil lines have been extended to the NE and SW (100 m lines x 50 m stations) and in-filling soil samples have been taken through the core of the anomaly (50 m lines x 25 m stations).

Northwest Zone

The 2016 Phase I program at the Northwest Zone included six lines of GT Probe sub-soil rock sampling (425 samples @ 5 m station spacing) and in-fill soil sampling (159 samples) where the terrain was too steep for the GT Probe to have access.

Four of the six GT probe lines tested approximately 400 m of apparent strike length of the interpreted northeast-southwest trend and straddle the 2010 trenches on either side. A grab rock sample from one of the reclaimed trenches ran 1.492 g/t Au.

Fifteen lines of DC induced polarization/resistivity were also surveyed over a distance of 1,800 m. Interpretation of the geophysical data indicates that there may also be a series of east-west trending, potentially mineralized structures in addition to those previously interpreted trending northeast-southwest. The soil geochemistry has shown continuity in the gold anomalies, both along the northeast-southwest and east-west trends.
