Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 10, 2026) - STLLR Gold Inc. (TSX: STLR) (OTCQX: STLRF) (FSE: O9D) ("STLLR" or the "Company") reports final assay results at the Jonpol Deposit ("Jonpol") at the Garrison Property and exploration plans at the Tower Gold Project ("Tower" or the "Project") in the Timmins Mining Camp in Ontario, Canada for the remainder of 2026.
Table 1: 2026 Jonpol Deposit Drilling Highlights:
| Zone | Hole ID | Assay Result |
| Jonpol | MGA26-281 | 12.46 g/t Au (12.10 g/t Au, cut) over 16.17 m (7.99 m TT) |
| Jonpol | MGA26-282 | 18.62 g/t Au (15.14 g/t Au, cut) over 5.30 m (3.44 m TT) |
"g/t Au" = grams per tonne gold; "m" = metres; "TT" = True Thickness
"We concluded first-half 2026 drilling at Jonpol with high-grade gold intersections and robust metal factors, potentially expanding the known mineralization and increasing confidence in the block model," said Keyvan Salehi, P.Eng., MBA, President, CEO, and Director of STLLR Gold. "Based on these strong results, we plan to continue drilling Jonpol alongside the 903 and Garrcon deposits at the Garrison Property of Tower for the remainder of the year."
Jonpol Deposit Drilling (See Figures 1-4 for Diagrams; See Tables 1-3 for Assays and Drill Details)
The Jonpol Deposit is situated in the Garrison Property at the eastern end of Tower (see Figure 1) along the Munro Fault, a splay from the regional Destor-Porcupine Fault Zone ("DPFZ"). Mineralization is hosted in structurally controlled alteration zones within mafic to ultramafic rocks and gold mineralization is closely associated with felsic intrusive rocks.
Tower Exploration Plans for Rest of 2026
The Company plans to complete approximately 15,000 m of drilling during the remainder of 2026, targeting the Jonpol, 903, and Garrcon deposits at Tower's Garrison Property. The drill program is focused on converting estimated inferred mineral resources to higher confidence categories and expand the higher-grade gold mineralization for potential incorporation into an updated Tower Mineral Resource Estimate ("Tower MRE").1

Quality Control Procedures
NQ drill core is oriented and cut with half sent to ALS Laboratories Inc. (ALS) for drying and crushing to -2 mm, with a 1.00 kg split pulverized to -75 µm (200#). ALS is an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory. A 50 g charge is Fire Assayed and analyzed using an AAS finish for Gold. Samples above 10.00 g/t Au are analyzed by Fire Assay with a gravimetric finish and selected samples with visible gold or high-grade mineralization are assayed by Metallic Screen Fire Assay on a 1.00 kg sample. STLLR inserts independent certified reference material and blanks with the samples and assays routine pulp repeats, as well as completing routine third-party check assays.
True thickness ("TT") was calculated in Leapfrog Geo, perpendicular to the interpreted plane of mineralization using the dip and dip azimuth of the mineralized zones. All intercepts are calculated using a 0.30 g/t Au cut-off, a maximum of 5 m internal dilution and 25 g/t Au cap applied.
