Stakeholder confirms Cu-Ni-Co-PGE mineralization over 498 m at Loki BA2601

Final Assays Extend Copper-Nickel-Cobalt and Platinum-Palladium Mineralization Through the Upper Hole to Complete a Fully Mineralized 498-Metre Discovery Hole; 3D VTEM and Magnetic Inversions Define Loki as a Robust, Discrete Intrusive System With a Second, Untested Conductive Target to the South.

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - September 1, 2026) - Stakeholder Gold Corp. (TSXV: SRC) (OTCQX: SKHRF) (WKN: A2QEP1) ("Stakeholder" or the "Company") is pleased to report the final diamond drill assay results for hole BA2601, completing a fully mineralized 498-metre discovery hole at the Loki Critical Mineral Zone on its 100%-owned Ballarat Gold-Copper Project ("Ballarat") in the prolific White Gold District of the Yukon Territory. Stakeholder also reports significant results from the three-dimensional (3D) inversion modelling of the Company's VTEM (electromagnetic) and magnetic geophysical data over the Loki area (Figures 1–4).

The newly received assays cover the upper (1–226 m) and lower (451–498 m) portions of hole BA2601, completing the full 498-metre hole and confirming mineralization throughout. The additional data show that copper-nickel-cobalt and platinum-group-element (PGE) mineralization extends through much of the upper hole, hosted in the same mineralized pyroxenite intrusion reported in the central interval on August 18, 2026. New and previously released intervals are summarized in Table 1; the property and the location of hole BA2601 are shown in Figure 1, and the completed hole in cross-section in Figure 2.

Highlights

Full hole completed – mineralized top to bottom: Final assays complete the 498-metre hole (BA2601), confirming broad mineralization through the upper hole and materially extending the copper-nickel-cobalt-PGE system defined in the initial (226–451 m) release.
