Golden Sky Minerals advances infrastructure near Lucky Strike

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 11, 2026) - Golden Sky Minerals Corp. (TSXV: AUEN) ("Golden Sky" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has received formal notification from the Government of Yukon's Land Management Branch regarding Newmont's land application (#2024-2200) for borrow pit sites along the Northern Access Route (NAR). This application supports the construction of an all-season road from Dawson City to the Coffee Gold Project. Importantly, the footprint of this application overlaps five Golden Sky quartz claims (YE78662, YF06681, YF06641, YF06642, YF06644) which form part of Golden Sky Mineral's 150 km² Lucky Strike Property, located in the heart of the Yukon's White Gold District (Figure 1 & 2).

John Newell, President and CEO of Golden Sky Minerals, commented: "We view this notification as a major validation of the Coffee corridor's growing significance and the region's future as a productive, accessible gold district. The Northern Access Route will transform the exploration economics at Lucky Strike by enabling road access to a currently helicopter-supported project. This is a long-term gamechanger for our ability to explore the property efficiently, safely, and cost-effectively." Key Implications for Golden Sky's Lucky Strike Property: Lower Exploration Costs - Road access significantly reduces reliance on helicopters, reducing mobilization and support costs.

Operational Flexibility - Expanded seasonal operational windows and more frequent work programs are now viable. District Visibility - The project is now directly tied into a corridor that includes Newmont's 3.8 Moz (3.0 Moz Au M&I and 0.8 Moz Inferred) Coffee Gold Project, recently acquired by Fuerte Metals Corp., and White Gold Corp.'s portfolio to the north. Fuerte has recently changed its name to Talamore Mining.

Strategic Leverage - Infrastructure buildout enhances long-term value of Golden Sky's dominant land position in the White Gold District. The NAR is widely viewed as a transformative infrastructure investment for the region, enabling year-round vehicle access to multiple projects in a historically underexplored gold belt. Golden Sky supports this initiative and submitted formal comments to the Land Management Branch before the May 29, 2026, deadline.

These communications will emphasize the Company's support for infrastructure development while requesting appropriate coordination with the road construction contractor, Cobalt Construction Inc., to minimize any temporary disruptions to the Company's exploration activities. Supporting documents for the Coffee Project and Northern Access Route are available on the YESAB Online Registry .
