Gold Strike One exploration update Yukon
HIGHLIGHTS
134 rock and 374 soil samples were collected on Gold Strike One ("GS1") from July to early August 2026 providing property-wide coverage (Figure 2).
A previously unmapped 100m x100m intrusive outcrop was discovered in the southeast corner of the claims amongst coincident historic gold anomalous soils (see Figure 2 and Figure 3). The outcrop was sampled where the crews could gain access as well as its talus apron for float. Results are pending.
A 289.34 line-kilometre, 100m line spaced, airborne geophysics, magnetics and radiometric survey, designed to augment the geochemical/ geological understanding of GS1 has been completed. Results are pending.
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 24, 2026) - Gold Strike Resources Corp. (TSXV: GSR) (OTC Pink: GDSRF) (the " Company " or " Gold Strike ") announces the completion of the 2026 soil and rock sampling program on the GS1 property (see Figure 1), which is proximal to Snowline Gold's Valley gold deposit. (see Gold Strike news release dated July 2, 2026 goldstrikeresourcescorp.com/2026/07/02/gold-strike-mobilizes-to-gold-strike-one-project-in-yukon-to-identify-drill-targets/ ).
Peter Miles, CEO stated, "Gold Strike has been busy over the past two months with some 40 people working on advancing our five properties in Yukon: GS1, GS2, Florin, RJ and FLR (see Figure 1). We are now receiving data from our programs and expect to increase our news flow significantly over the next few months. GS1 is an important property for Gold Strike given its proximity to Snowline's Valley gold deposit and we are pleased that our field crews have completed our 2026 program on GS1 which includes the discovery of an intrusive outcrop that we have sampled. Results are pending."
The intrusion (see Figures 2 and 3) is about 100x100m, although exact boundaries are covered in scree or talus. It is plagioclase rich with notable euhedral lathy phenocrysts sometimes aligned, sometimes not. It has rare biotite as an accessory phase but generally lacks mafic minerals. Trace to 2-3% subhedral interstitial pyrite in the groundmass is typical and has 1cm Fe-oxide weathered selvages along fractures that are generally steep roughly north-south. The intrusive is lacking magnetism and the immediate sedimentary country rock has weak hornfels in select float (biotite in slatey mudstone) and is magnetic. Sampling was limited due to steep terrain; future sampling will be undertaken by high-angle geologists.
The 374 soil samples and the 134 rock samples (see Figure 2) were collected along ridge lines and valley contours at a nominal 100m spacing and have been delivered to the laboratory where they await assay. Results will be reported when received.
Previous soil and rock sampling program highlighted zones where the soils are anomalous in gold and or its pathfinder elements (As, Bi, Sb). This year's program filled in and obtained closer spacing in the gold anomalous zones and sampled new areas giving the property a blanket coverage.
Gold Strike commissioned a 289.34 line-kilometre heliborne geophysical survey over the property which has now been completed. This low level magnetic and radiometric survey flown at 100m line spacing will provide key data that will complement the geochemical results. The Company will provide an update when the final data have been received and interpreted.

Cautionary Statements and "Forward-Looking" Information
Mineralization hosted on adjacent, nearby or geologically similar properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization hosted on the Company's properties.
This news release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Forward-looking statements are identified by words such as "anticipate", "plan", "continue", "expect", "estimate", "objective", "may", "will", "project", "should", "predict", "potential", "intend", "goal", "designed to", and similar expressions.
Although the Company believes that the expectations and assumptions on which the forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements because the Company cannot give any assurance that they will prove correct. Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, they involve inherent assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of assumptions, factors and risks. These assumptions and risks include, but are not limited to, assumptions and risks associated with mineral exploration generally and results from anticipated and proposed exploration programs, conditions in the equity financing markets, and assumptions and risks regarding receipt of further regulatory and First Nation approvals. Forward-looking statements in this news release include, without limitation: the completion of exploration programs and the receipt, analysis and reporting of data. Exploration activities in Yukon are subject to seasonal access constraints, engagement with local communities and Indigenous rights holders, availability of financing, and the inherent uncertainties of mineral exploration, including the risk that drill results do not confirm grade continuity or resource expansion potential. Risks specific to the foregoing include laboratory capacity constraints affecting assay turnaround, delays in processing and interpreting airborne geophysical data, adverse weather or access conditions, and the failure of exploration programs to identify economic mineralization.
The forward-looking statements contained in this news release are made as of the date hereof. Other than as required by applicable securities laws, the Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, results, or otherwise.
Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
