Stakeholder Gold Corp. Confirms 2026 Drill Program at Ballarat Property, Targeting Significant Gold and Copper Anomalies

• On 2026‑04‑08 the company announced a 2,000 m diamond drilling program at its wholly‑owned Ballarat Gold‑Copper Project (Yukon).
• The work will start in May 2026 and targets high‑priority gold and copper soil anomalies near historic placer creeks.
• Drill contract awarded to Platinum Diamond Drilling Inc.; logistics handled by Osprey Long Range Inc.
• Adam Fage, P.Geo., is confirmed as Qualified Person (QP) for the release.
• No new financing or partnership disclosed; the program is fully funded by the $2.29 m flow‑through placement closed on 2026‑03‑19.

Aspect	Assessment
Funding	Already secured in March 2026 (flow‑through financing). The drill announcement simply confirms execution of a previously funded plan – no incremental capital needed.
Operational milestone	Moving from permitting (Class 1 approval on 2026‑01‑20) to field work is an expected step; the market had anticipated drilling in early‑mid 2026.
Exploration upside	The program targets “significant” gold and copper anomalies, but no resource estimate or drill results are yet available. Until data are released, the news adds only forward‑looking potential, not material value.
Investor perception	The confirmation may reassure shareholders that the company remains on schedule, but it does not change valuation assumptions already built into the price.
Overall materiality	The announcement is routine and positive – it aligns with prior expectations and adds no surprise cash‑flow or partnership elements.

Stakeholder Gold Corp. is a junior explorer focused on the Ballarat Gold‑Copper Project in Yukon’s White Gold District (≈930 contiguous claims, ~19,440 ha). The project hosts two priority targets: the Skye gold zone and the Loki copper zone, both located near the proposed Northern Gateway Road. The company also generates cash flow from exotic stone quartzite quarries in Brazil (blue and white quartzite), which fund a portion of its exploration budget.
