Golden Stakeholder Company (“Stakeholder” or “Company”) (TSX-V: SRCoutside the recipe: SKHRF,n: A2QEP1) is pleased to announce the details of the upcoming 2,000 square meter exploratory drilling program in the area wholly owned by the company Ballarat Gold and Copper Project (“Ballarat” or “the Project”). Drilling is expected to begin on or around May 1street2026.
Ballarat is located in the geographic center of the White Gold Region in Canada’s Yukon Territory. The project is located north of Fuerte Metals Corp. (TSX-V: FMT) Coffee Gold Project, northwest of Western Copper Gold Corp. (TSX: WRN) Casino project, west, south and southeast of White Gold Corp. (TSX-V: from) Large-scale regional exploration initiatives.
The Ballarat project extends 20 kilometers of the planned Northern Access Road (Northern Access Road for Coffee) as it turns north from the Yukon River (see Figure 1). The project is located within an unexplored portion of the White Gold District and currently hosts four advanced gold and copper exploration areas that have been selected for testing via a series of shallow diamond holes targeting near-surface oxide mineralization.
Golden Sky Zone
The Skye Gold Zone is a structurally hosted gold target(s) located in the north-central section of the Ballarat Project claims (Figure 2) and consists of two subparallel gold deposits, 1.9 km (north end) and 1.3 km (south end) in soil trends hosted within felsic gneissic rocks. These trends indicate minor mineralogical anomalies in the tellurium, silver, molybdenum, lead and zinc index that are associated with the oriented structures of the ENE.
Drilling in 2026 will test the northern and southern ends of this possibility. The northern and southern ends of the Skye Gold Zone are new targets and have not been tested in the past.
Loki copper area
The Loki Copper Zone consists of an anomalous 2.3 km x 600 m copper in soil signature associated with an older Jurassic intrusive unit to the west. This intrusive unit is assigned to the Minto group of rocks. This structural setting and Minto Suite affiliation indicates the potential for mineralization similar to Selkirk Copper’s Minto Mine, located approximately 92 km to the southeast.
The Loki Copper Zone is located east of Ballarat Creek within the southeast sector of the Company’s claimed property (Figure 2). It is located adjacent to the Northern Access Road as it is scheduled to pass through the southern section of the company’s claims.
Drilling in 2026 will target a high-grade copper core in a soil anomaly that contains multiple samples at 99.9y Percentage range for soil copper in the region (based on Yukon Geological Survey assessment report). The Loki copper zone is a new target and has not been tested in the past.
Eastern region
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 north-east of the Skye Gold Zone (Figure 2). A limited RAB drilling program in the southern part of the Eastern Block was completed in 2016.
The 2016 drilling program encountered low-grade gold mineralization (up to 0.856 g/t gold over 3.04m) but is not considered to have targeted core structural features that may host gold mineralization. The 2026 program will revisit this goal and test the northern part of these structural features.
Northwestern region
The northwestern zone is a structurally hosted gold target consisting of two parallel gold anomalies (2.3 and 1.8 km long, respectively) that are hosted within volcanic sedimentary and metamorphic rocks (Figure 2). The northwest area is located directly south of White Gold Corp’s Black Fox project. A limited 5-hole diamond drilling program was completed in 2012 yielding 0.945 g/t gold over 3 metres, which only tested the perimeter of the geochemical anomaly. Drilling in 2026 will target the core of the untested soil anomaly.
Additional exploration activity planned for 2026 includes a grid soil sampling program across the southwestern portion of the project as well as geological mapping and prospecting along the Northern Access Road route where road cuts are expected to expose several kilometers of bedrock with concurrent soil exposures.
The northern access route is expected to intersect the eastern strike extension of the Skye Gold Zone and the western strike extension of the Loki Copper Zone. 15.5km of the 20km Northern Access Road located within the company’s Ballarat property is new construction and will provide road access within 800m of the Eastern Zone and 200m of the Loki Copper Zone respectively, when construction is completed.

About Golden Stakeholders Company
The stakeholders have 100% ownership in 930 contiguous mineral claims covering 18,520 hectares and extending 20 km of the northern access road to the Coffee Mine Project which is being developed through the geographic center of the White Gold District in Canada’s Yukon Territory. Stakeholders also maintain good standing for 10 claims located within the adjacent Coffee Mine Project which is being developed by Fuerte Metals Corp. (TSX-V: FMT). These combined claims properties are collectively referred to as the Ballarat Gold and Copper Project (“Ballarat“).
Within the Company’s contiguous properties, stakeholders are developing exploration initiatives in… Golden Sky Zone and Loki copper area The exploration targets, approximately 8 km apart, hold the potential for new gold and copper discoveries respectively, on either side of the proposed route of the Northern Gateway Road, in the heart of the White Gold District.

The stakeholders also generate cash flow from the production and sale of exotic stones through the 100% Brazilian-owned Mineração VMC Ltda. ((VMC“). VMC currently produces from 4 independent stone quarries and is looking for opportunities to expand the sale and export of exotic stone building materials from Brazil.
