Crossroads Gold Closes Acquisition of Rox-ex and Its Pambula and Club Terrace Projects in Southeastern Australia, and Announces Steiglitz Project Update

Crossroads Gold Closes Australian Acquisition and Updates Exploration

Executive Summary
  • Crossroads Gold Corp. announced the closing of its acquisition of Rox-ex Pty Ltd., securing 100% ownership of the Pambula and Club Terrace gold exploration projects in Australia.
  • Transaction consideration includes C$250,000 total cash payments over 24 months, issuance of 2,000,000 common shares to the vendor, and a 2.0% net smelter return royalty on the Projects.
  • The Company outlined immediate exploration plans for Pambula (drill targeting at Pilot Fissure Zone) and provided an update on soil sampling programs at the Steiglitz Project.
  • Steiglitz Project Update notes that soil sampling data is incomplete pending 137 additional assay results due to laboratory capacity constraints, with rock chip sampling completed at Hanover prospects.
  • Pambula Historic Production recorded minimum of 45,200 ounces of gold (mined between 1890 and 1914) with significant historical drill intercepts including 2 m @ 33.05 g/t Au.
  • Club Terrace Project EL application expected to be granted in Q2 or Q3 of 2026; currently under Native Title process.
Material Impact
  • The acquisition closing was announced on April 29, 2026 (Definitive Agreement), making the May 28 closing an expected procedural milestone rather than a surprise catalyst.
  • Market pricing likely incorporated the acquisition terms in late April; therefore, this news is incremental confirmation of asset security without significant new valuation upside.
  • The issuance of 2,000,000 common shares represents minor dilution (approx. $400k value at current price) but adds substantial land package to the portfolio.
  • Steiglitz update highlights operational friction ("assay turnaround slow"), which delays potential near-term drill catalysts compared to the strong soil anomalies reported on May 14, 2026.
  • The acquisition removes uncertainty regarding asset ownership, reducing execution risk for future exploration programs at Pambula and Club Terrace.
  • Overall impact is positive but limited in magnitude due to prior announcement; classified as Routine - Positive given the confirmation of deal closure without adverse terms changes.
