Stakeholder Accelerates the Loki Copper Corridor: 3D Geophysical Inversions Nearing Completion Ahead of High-Impact 1,250-Sample Soil and Prospecting Programs Across Loki West and Newly Staked Loki East

Stakeholder Gold Corp. is advancing 3D inversion modeling of historical VTEM and magnetic data to refine copper drill targeting along the Loki structural corridor at its Ballarat Gold-Copper Project in the Yukon. The company plans a 1,250-sample soil geochemical sampling program and concurrent geological prospecting over the Loki West and newly staked Loki East targets to define and expand copper-in-soil anomalies. Field work is scheduled to commence as soon as crews become available.

The project benefits from direct access via the Coffee Mine’s Northern Access Route (NAR), currently under construction, which traverses 20 km of the company’s ground. This update follows the June 2, 2026 exploration update where the first drillhole (BA2601) at the Loki Copper Zone encountered favorable ultramafic geology and widespread Cu-Ni-PGE mineralization, prompting the acquisition of 201 new claims (~40.2 km²) for the Loki East target.

Stakeholder Gold Corp. (SRC) released its July 28, 2026 update, marking a routine progression of the company’s 2026 exploration program. The market had anticipated soil sampling and geophysical modeling following the initial drill results reported in early June. The announcement confirms the execution of this planned work without introducing new surprises or material changes to the project's economics or timeline.

The focus remains on target definition for future drilling. While the results are positive, they are considered incremental and do not alter the fundamental risk profile or valuation drivers. The stock is already trading near recent highs, suggesting the market has largely priced in this exploration progression.

Stakeholder Gold Corp. is a junior exploration company focused on its 100%-owned Ballarat Gold-Copper Project in Yukon’s White Gold District. The project is strategically located adjacent to Talamore Mining’s Coffee Gold Mine, providing potential logistical synergies and proximity to a major developing mine. The company’s land package consists of 1,140 contiguous mineral claims covering 22,700 hectares.

Flagship targets include the Skye Gold Zone, Loki Copper Zone, East Zone, and Northwest Zone. The Loki Copper Zone has shown promising ultramafic geology and Cu-Ni-PGE mineralization in initial drilling. Additionally, the company operates Mineração VMC Ltda. in Brazil, which produces and sells exotic quartzite stones, generating cash flow to fund exploration activities and minimize shareholder dilution.
