Lodestar identifies five targets at Goldrun

Executive Summary

• Lodestar Metals identified five high‑priority, undrilled induced‑polarization (IP) targets at the Goldrun project, supported by historic gold intercepts and exceptionally high‑grade silver results.
• A comprehensive 2025 exploration program has been launched, including a 395‑sample soil geochemistry survey, a high‑resolution ground magnetic survey scheduled for September 2025, and newly processed lidar mapping to refine target definition.
• Historic drill intersections reveal significant gold (up to 13.7 m @ 1.3 g/t Au) and silver (up to 100 g/t Ag) grades, while recent surface sampling returned up to 3,307 g/t Ag and 2.4 g/t Au, underscoring the project's scale potential.

Key Details

• Five New IP Targets (T1‑T5): Identified via 3‑D integration of historical deep dipole induced polarization (DDIP) data with drill results and surface sampling.
• Gomes Prospect – Two Targets:
• GAD‑4: 13.7 m @ 1.3 g/t Au; 19.8 m @ 26 g/t Ag, including 3 m >100 g/t Ag & 1.2 g/t Au.
• GAD‑2: 18.3 m @ 0.8 g/t Au (from 55 m) and 33.5 m @ 0.4 g/t Au (from 179.8 m).
• Independence Trend – Three Targets:
• HH‑22: 10.7 m @ 55 ppm Ag & 0.36 g/t Au (from 47.2 m), including 1.5 m @ 218 g/t Ag & 1.2 g/t Au.
• UC‑01: 15.5 m @ 38 g/t Ag & 0.35 g/t Au (from 18 m).
• Surface Sampling Results (2024): Up to 3,307 g/t Ag and 2.4 g/t Au in rock samples; high‑grade silver zones (>100 g/t) noted near historic drill holes.
• Soil Geochemistry Survey: 395 soil samples collected on a 100 m × 100 m grid (50 m spacing in known mineralized zones); samples sent to ALS for fine‑fraction sieve and aqua‑regia digestion analysis.
• Ground Magnetic Survey: Contracted to Zonge International; 25 m line spacing covering the entire claim set; scheduled for September 2025 to delineate structural controls on gold‑silver mineralization.
• Lidar Mapping: High‑resolution digital elevation model and imagery acquired, correlating with historic Cambior (1997) structural interpretations, enhancing structural targeting.
