Galactic Gold awaits Hardrock West sampling results

Executive Summary

• Galactic Gold Corp. provided a strategic summary of its 100%-owned Hardrock West (HWP) property in Northwestern Ontario, highlighting its location within the prolific Beardmore-Geraldton greenstone belt, adjacent to Equinox Gold’s Greenstone and Brookbank deposits.
• The company outlined its 2026 exploration strategy, which will be guided by a district-scale targeting study and updated geophysical surveys following a fall 2025 mapping and sampling program (assays pending).
• The HWP covers 26,245 hectares along two major orogenic gold-bearing structures, with the company aiming to apply a modern, cohesive exploration model to consolidate prospective geology and pursue an economic discovery.

Key Details

• Property Location & Size: The Hardrock West property covers approximately 26,245 hectares (60 km of strike length) along two major orogenic gold-bearing structures: the Paint Lake fault and the Bankfield-Tombill deformation zone.
• Strategic Positioning: The property is located 10 kilometres west of Equinox Gold’s 10.7-million-ounce Greenstone gold mine and is flanked by the 680,000-ounce Brookbank deposit to the west.
• Geological Context: The HWP is situated in the heart of the Beardmore-Geraldton greenstone belt. Research from Laurentian University's Metal Earth initiative identified major crustal-scale structures extending through the property, supporting the presence of an orogenic gold system.
• Historical Production & Exploration:
  • Historic production in the belt includes the Northern Empire mine (149,453 oz Au), Leitch/Sand River mines (897,356 oz Au), and Bankfield/Tombill mines (135,536 oz Au).
  • The HWP hosts nine historical gold occurrences, including Watson/Angle Lake, Solomon's Pillars/Leduc, and Expansion Lake.
  • While Greenstone Gold Mines completed over 500,000 metres of drilling on the adjacent Hardrock deposit since 2008, the HWP has seen fewer than 1,500 metres of drilling and limited surface exploration.
• 2026 Exploration Plan:
  • The company is completing a preliminary exploration criteria and district-scale targeting study.
  • Results from a recent fall prospecting program (assays pending) and updated property-wide geophysical surveys will guide the 2026 program.
  • The 2026 program is expected to include systematic prospecting, detailed structural mapping, and an initial phase of diamond drilling focused on priority targets.
• Qualified Person: Jason Arnold, PGeo, president of DCX Geological Consulting, reviewed and approved the geological information. He noted that while historic information provides an indication of exploration potential, it may not be representative of expected results, and mineralization on adjacent properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the HWP.

Notable Quotes

• "The Hardrock West project is immediately adjacent to Equinox Gold's 10.7-million-ounce Greenstone mine, and the company controls extensive strike length along the same regional structures within this proven gold camp -- providing a compelling setting for systematic exploration." — Ken Berry, CEO
• "Contiguous with a major gold producer, Hardrock West benefits from established infrastructure and a well-endowed geological environment, strategically positioning the company to emerge as a leading gold exploration story in 2026." — Ken Berry, CEO
