Lodestar Metals Scales Up Exploration with High-Resolution Geophysics at Goldrun Project, Nevada

On January 20, 2026, Lodestar Metals announced the commencement of a Dipole-Dipole-Induced-Polarisation (DDIP) geophysical program at its flagship Goldrun Property in Nevada. This survey consists of four new lines intended to refine chargeability anomalies at high-priority targets (Robbers Knob and Grindstone Flats) identified in historical data. * Timeline: Results and interpretations are expected in February 2026. * Next Steps: This work is a precursor to a maiden drill campaign targeted for March-April 2026. * Permitting: Drill permits have been submitted and are pending approval.

This news is Routine - Positive. It represents the competent execution of the exploration roadmap outlined in December 2025. While necessary for targeting, a geophysical survey is not a discovery event. The primary material impact is the confirmation that the company is adhering to its timeline and actively advancing toward the drill phase. The announcement serves to maintain investor interest and sustain the stock's recent momentum as it trades near all-time highs.

• Company: Lodestar Metals is a junior explorer revitalized in mid-2025 through a leadership change, share consolidation, and new asset acquisition.
• Flagship Project: The Goldrun Project in Humboldt County, Nevada. It sits at the intersection of the Getchell and Battle Mountain-Eureka trends.
• Asset History: The property has historical (unverified) drill results including 120ft @ 11.2 g/t Au (Golden Predator, 2008). Lodestar is attempting to validate these historical numbers with modern exploration methods (Lidar, DDIP, Soil Sampling).
