Stakeholder Announces new QP Geologist for Ballarat, 2026

Stakeholder Gold Corp. has strategically appointed Adam Fage MSc, P.Geo as Qualified Person Geologist to spearhead the company's upcoming exploration initiatives at the Ballarat Gold-Copper Project, scheduled to commence in early Spring 2026. This appointment represents a significant step forward for the company's exploration strategy in the highly prospective White Gold District of the Yukon Territory.

Fage brings considerable specialized expertise to the role, having spent five years working on exploration of the Coffee Gold Project for Kaminak Gold Corporation prior to that company's successful acquisition by Goldcorp in 2016. His experience also includes subsequent work with GroundTruth Exploration Ltd., the leading exploration company in the district founded by renowned prospector Shawn Ryan. This background provides Fage with intimate knowledge of the geological characteristics and successful exploration methodologies specific to the White Gold District.

The Ballarat Gold-Copper Project spans 930 contiguous mineral claims covering 18,520 hectares across 20 kilometers of the proposed Northern Gateway Road route. The project is strategically positioned in the geographical center of the White Gold District and features two key exploration targets: the Skye Gold Zone and the Loki Copper Zone, separated by approximately 8 kilometers. The company also maintains 10 claims within the adjacent Coffee Mine Project being developed by Fuerte Metals Corp.

This appointment comes at a critical juncture as Stakeholder advances its exploration strategy in one of Canada's most promising gold districts. The timing aligns with the company's planned Spring 2026 exploration campaign, which will focus on advancing geochemical targets already identified at Ballarat using proven data-driven approaches. The strategic location along the proposed Northern Gateway Road provides excellent infrastructure access, while the company maintains engagement with regulatory authorities and local First Nations to ensure compliant exploration activities.

The appointment underscores Stakeholder's commitment to leveraging experienced personnel with district-specific knowledge to maximize exploration success. With the White Gold District's proven potential for significant discoveries, Fage's appointment positions the company to capitalize on the geological prospectivity of the Ballarat project while drawing on successful exploration methodologies previously employed in the region.
