Key Terms

mineral claims, qualified person, ni 43-101

3 terms

mineral claims technical

"the Company holds a total of 930 contiguous mineral claims spanning 17 km"

Mineral claims are legal rights that let a person or company search for and extract specific minerals from a defined piece of land, similar to holding a deed for a plot but limited to what’s under the ground. They matter to investors because those rights determine whether a resource can be developed, how valuable a property is, and what legal, environmental or royalty obligations might affect future revenue and costs.

qualified person regulatory

"Jodie Gibson, M.Sc., P.Geo. is an independent geological consultant and the Qualified Person"

A qualified person is someone with specialized knowledge, experience, and training in a particular field, allowing them to accurately assess and verify information or work. Their expertise helps ensure that reports, evaluations, or decisions are trustworthy and meet required standards. For investors, a qualified person provides confidence that the information they rely on is credible and properly validated.

ni 43-101 regulatory

"Qualified Person for the Company, as defined by NI 43-101, and has reviewed"

A Canadian regulatory standard that sets the rules for how mining and exploration companies must report mineral resources and reserves, requiring technical reports prepared or signed off by an independent, certified expert. It matters to investors because it creates a consistent, transparent “inspection report” for mining projects, making it easier to compare prospects, judge the reliability of claims, and assess geological and financial risk before investing.

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 27, 2025) - Stakeholder Gold Corporation (TSXV: SRC) (OTC Pink: SKHRF) (WKN: A2QEP1) ("Stakeholder" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has filed assessments for 461 mining claims located in the Heart of the White Gold District of the Yukon Territory, Canada. This extends claim registration for the Company's claims for an additional four years. The Company's mining claims now have new expiry dates extending from October 13, 2028 to April 13, 2036 (Figure 1).

Claim renewal represents an important component of Stakeholder's long-term exploration strategy in the White Gold District, where the Company holds a total of 930 contiguous mineral claims spanning 17 km of the proposed route for the Northern Gateway Road. With this assessment filing completed, Stakeholder now plans to undertake additional exploration work across its Ballarat claim block in 2026. One objective of further work will be to extend the validity of claim ownership for all of the Company's 930 contiguous claims through to 2036.

"The renewal of these 461 claims is an important step in confirming Stakeholder's land position in the White Gold District," stated Christopher Berlet, CEO of Stakeholder Gold Corp.

"Our objective is to systematically advance exploration across this highly prospective area while extending forward ownership of Stakeholder's strategically positioned 19,440 hectare contiguous claim holding, which straddles 17 km of the planned road route for the Northern Gateway Road where it traverses the geographical center of the White Gold District."

Stakeholder also holds title to 10 claims covering 209 hectares (Figure 2) located within the Coffee Mining Camp (now being developed by Fuerte Metals Inc.). Although no recent exploration work has been undertaken by Stakeholder on these claims, they are also maintained in good standing in pursuit of the Company's objective of holding a strategic and value accretive land position in the geographical center of the rapidly evolving White Gold District.

Stakeholder's Yukon claim portfolio is located in the relative center of one of Canada's most active and geologically prospective gold and copper districts, the White Gold District of the Yukon Territory. The Company is building shareholder value with disciplined, systematic exploration and sustained land tenure over an area supporting future discovery opportunities.
