ML Gold Corp. (TSXV: MLG) (“ML Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce a new discovery on its Stars project where hole 4 (DD18SS004) has intersected 0.45% Copper (0.50% CuEq) over 204 metres (m) including 1.02% CuEq (0.93% Cu) over 40.2m from surface.
ML Gold Corp. (TSXV:MLG) (“ML Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce a new discovery on its Stars project where hole 4 (DD18SS004) has intersected 0.45% Copper (0.50% CuEq) over 204 metres (m) including 1.02% CuEq (0.93% Cu) over 40.2m from surface. New drill sites are currently being planned to expand from hole 4 and test the newly identified “central” target area (as indicated on the attached survey map, Figure 1). The Stars project is ideally located in central British Columbia in the heart of the province’s prolific porphyry belt.
STARS HIGHLIGHTS
- High-Grade Results from Surface: Hole 4 intersected 40.2 metres of 1.02% copper equivalent (0.93% Cu) from 26.52m to 66.72m (bedrock begins at 21.58m) within a larger interval grading 0.50% CuEq (0.45% Cu) over 204m from 23.47m to 227.69m.
- New Geophysics Identifies Possible Porphyry Centre: The recent detailed airborne magnetic survey identified a cluster of covered and untested circular magnetic anomalies between the two zones drilled in the current program and centered within a larger ovoid magnetic “ring” feature (or “magnetic halo”) approximately 5 kilometres in diameter (long axis) (see Figure 1).
- Porphyry System Confirmed: Dr. Paul Johnston, an independent porphyry expert who recently reviewed the project drill core comments: “Mineralization [observed in the Stars drill core] is consistent with mineralized features associated with a porphyry system” and suggests that “the [current] drilling is in a marginal position relative to the porphyry centre” where it is reasonable to expect higher copper grades.
- Drill Hole Chemistry Indicates A Significant Upside Target: Drilling to date has identified a clear systematic zonation of sulphide minerals where pyrite-only mineralization transitions to pyrite-chalcopyrite to chalcopyrite-only to chalcopyrite-bornite moving towards the newly identified “central” target area. This pattern has been identified in both areas drilled in the current program and in both cases displays an increasing temperature gradient towards the “centre” target area possible indicating a better-mineralized copper porphyry centre.
- Potential for Multiple High Grade Zones: The near-surface high-grade zone discovered in hole 4 could play a significant role in the economics required to build a mine. The location of the zone on the edge of the ovoid magnetic “ring” feature indicates that there could be additional high-grade zones elsewhere within the magnetic ring feature which extends approximately 5 kilometres in diameter (long axis) (see Figure 1).
- Close to Infrastructure: Year round road access, proximal rail, access to cheap power and water, access to a major port (Kitimat), low relief topography, and a near-by population centre put the Stars project in an ideal location for low-cost mine development.
ML Gold recently engaged Dr. Paul Johnson, an independent consultant and expert on porphyry deposits worldwide, to conduct a review of the drill core at ML Golds Stars project. Dr. Johnston was able to identify several key factors including the sulfide mineral assemblages which are used to infer the sulfidation state of the mineralizing fluids responsible for depositing the copper observed in the drill holes. He comments “the sulfide minerals show a systematic variation between drill holes and define a trend from higher to lower sulfidation state, which can be equated to increasing temperature with declining sulfidation state”. Thus a better-mineralized target is proposed where mineral assemblages point to higher temperature parts of the system (a common relationship exhibited by porphyry deposits worldwide) and suggests that the highest temperature and better-mineralized copper zone has yet to be drilled.
Following Dr. Johnston’s site visit, and the completion of the airborne magnetic survey, Dr. Johnston was able to incorporate his field observations with the newly acquired magnetic data. He comments “Vein relationships and styles observed in Stars drilling are consistent with copper mineralization associated with magmatic-hydrothermal alteration and mineralization associated with porphyry systems”. Furthermore, “a porphyry centre is proposed between the two areas drilled based on magnetic patterns combined with vectors to a mineralization center derived from sulfide mineral patterns”.

***True widths are unknown at this time.
Hole 4 (DD18SS004) was drilled on the eastern flank of the newly identified magnetic ring structure (see Figure 1). The mineralization in hole 4 consists predominantly of chalcopyrite mineralization and likely does not represent the potassic core of a system, but does indicate the potential for significant copper endowment in the core of the system (yet to be drilled). The style of mineralization observed (massive chalcopyrite veins with secondary biotite halos overprinted by chlorite) suggests the high-grade copper mineralization is being ejected further out from the potassic core indicating that there could be multiple zones similar to that encountered in hole 4 elsewhere on the property.
Holes 1 through 3 (DD17SS001, DD17SS002, DD18SS003) show copper grades that are consistent with what can be expected adjacent to a copper rich potassic zone, and display a clear zonation of decreasing sulfidation state and increasing temperature indicating that the highest potential area for the potassic core of the porphyry system is just to the west of this area. This is further supported by the recent magnetic survey and preliminary observations from holes 5 and 6.
Adrian Smith, President of ML Gold comments “Dr. Johnston has proven instrumental in bringing the current drilling into the context of a larger porphyry system that may be present on the property. We will continue to consult with industry leaders as we begin a more aggressive second phase of drilling stepping out around hole 4 and testing the new targets generated from rock chemistry vectors and airborne geophysics.”
Overall, alteration patterns and mineralogy hold-up on a kilometre scale and suggest that the best zones have yet to be found on the Stars project.
Quality Assurance and Quality Control
All core was transported daily to ML Gold’s logging/cutting facility in Houston BC, where it was logged and sampled by a registered professional geologist. Core was then cut in half with one half retained in the core box and the other securely sent to MS Analytical Laboratories in Langley (ISO/IEC 17025:2005 certified), B.C. to undergo analysis. The core lengths sampled were generally 10ft intervals and the internal QA/QC sampling procedure included inserting blanks and standards with one in every 10 samples into the sample sequence. The samples are checked to ensure results fall within acceptable target ranges and all results from the controls were acceptable.
The analysis included; 20 gram Multi Element, 3:1 Aqua Regia (Code: IMS-131), Ultra Trace ICP-AES/MS finish. Over-limit samples underwent Ore Grade Copper, 3:1 Aqua Regia (Code: ICA-6Cu), 0.4 grams with ICP-AES finish, and Ore Grade Copper, 4-Acid (Code: ICF-6Cu), 0.2 gram with ICP-AES finish. MS analytical also conducted independent QA/QC procedures which included inserting duplicate, standard, and blank samples within each batch analyzed.

Key Projects
Ana Paula (Flagship Development Project)
Ana Paula is a high-grade underground gold project in Guerrero and the cornerstone of Heliostar’s long-term growth strategy.
The November 2025 PEA outlines a 9 year mine life with 101,000 oz/year production, 874,700 oz total output, and strong economics, including a US$1,012M NPV5% and a 51.3 percent IRR, supported by a low AISC of US$1,011/oz.
The project hosts approximately 742,000 oz measured and indicated at 5.4 g/t and 514,000 oz inferred, highlighting its high-grade profile and expansion potential.
With a feasibility study targeted for H1 2027 and construction expected in H2 of the same year, Ana Paula is expected to become the primary driver of Heliostar’s transition to mid-tier production.
The company is targeting production at Ana Paula in 2028.
La Colorada Mine
La Colorada in Sonora is a key cash-flowing asset that underwent a successful turnaround in 2025. The mine hosts reserves of 376,000 ounces of gold grading 0.68 g/t in 17.1 million tonnes of ore.
The mine is expected to produce 20,000–22,300 oz in 2026 at AISC of US$1,775–1,875/oz, supported by a six-year mine life and approximately 286,000 oz total production profile.
Mining at the project’s Veta Madre pit commenced in August 2026, a milestone that the company ties to its plan to secure cash flow through 2027 and 2028 to support construction at Ana Paula.
Ongoing drilling, pit expansions and underground potential provide meaningful upside, reinforcing its role as a core funding engine for development.
San Agustin Mine
San Agustin in Durango is a restarted oxide heap-leach operation providing near-term production growth and cash flow.
2026 guidance targets 30,000–32,700 oz of gold at AISC of US$2,150–2,250/oz, following a low-capital restart funded from the company’s balance sheet.
The asset offers additional upside through oxide expansion and sulphide exploration, supporting potential mine life extension.
Cerro del Gallo Project
Cerro del Gallo is a large-scale gold-silver development project in Guanajuato and a key driver of future production growth.
The 2025 PFS outlines ~86,000 GEO/year over a 15-year mine life at US$1,390 AISC, with strong economics, including US$972 million NPV5% and 59.3 percent IRR at higher gold price assumptions.

Investor Insight
GoldInxs Mining Corp. (TSXV:INXS, OTCQB: INXGF) provides investors with exposure to early-stage gold-copper exploration in British Columbia, leveraging a portfolio of high-potential projects in Tier 1 jurisdictions, within established gold districts, surrounded by strong regional infrastructure and led by an experienced management team committed to accelerating discovery and delivering shareholder value.
Overview
GoldInxs Mining Corp. is a discovery-focused mineral exploration company dedicated to identifying and advancing high-potential copper-gold assets in proven geological belts. The Company's strategy centers on acquiring overlooked and underexplored projects with large-scale potential, applying modern exploration techniques to rapidly evaluate targets and unlock shareholder value through discovery.
The Company’s. common shares started trading on the TSX Venture Exchange in July 2026 under the symbol INXS, positioning itself to capitalize on favorable copper and gold market fundamentals.
Copper demand is forecasted to grow steadily through 2030, with the global copper market expected to expand to over US$340 billion by 2030, driven by electric vehicles, renewable energy and infrastructure growth.
On the other hand, gold continues to provide a safe-haven hedge against policy risks and market volatility, making GoldInxs’ dual focus on copper and gold particularly compelling for investors.
The Company’s portfolio is anchored by two priority projects: the Fishpot Project in central British Columbia, interpreted as an emerging, large epithermal system with strong infrastructure access and jurisdiction quality as well as early indications of blackwater-style mineralization, and the non-core Millar Project in the prolific B.C Golden Triangle, a district renowned for world-class discoveries. While surrounding deposits attracted billions of dollars in investment, Fishpot received only sporadic historical exploration despite widespread hydrothermal alteration and numerous anomalous gold, silver and copper results. Artemis Gold’s Blackwater Mine has announced tripling production with an intended $1.56B investment, which sits only 65 km from the Fishpot property.
Backed by a management team with expertise in exploration, project development and capital markets, GoldInxs is positioned to rapidly advance its assets, deliver near-term exploration catalysts and create shareholder value through discovery and strategic growth.
Company Highlights
- Mining-friendly jurisdiction: Projects are in British Columbia, which ranked second in Canada and 20th globally in the 2025 Fraser Institute investment attractiveness rankings.
- Flagship and district-scale assets: Portfolio is anchored by the flagship Fishpot Project (“Fishpot”) in central B.C., showing strong geological indicators of mineralization, blackwater-style mineralization potential and immense exploration upside potential with only 378 meters of historical drilling. Fishpot is strategically located in the same region as Artemis Gold’s Blackwater Mine and Evolution Mining’s optioned Clisbako property.
- Clear path to 2026 catalysts: GoldInxs secured a drill permit for an upcoming maiden 2,000-metre drill program at Fishpot, near-term exploration programs are designed to define mineralized systems, outline blackwater-style potential and create shareholder value following the completion of a 3D IP survey and drill targeting.
Key Projects
Fishpot Project
The Fishpot Project represents the cornerstone asset within the GoldInxs portfolio. Covering up to 5,500 hectares in Central British Columbia, and located ~95 km north of Quesnel, Fishpot hosts a large hydrothermal alteration system that exhibits many of the geological characteristics observed in major epithermal and intrusion-related gold systems throughout the region. Fishpot encompasses five claim blocks, held under an option to acquire 100 percent subject to a 2 percent NSR, representing a significant exploration opportunity in a highly prospective region.
Fishpot represents a largely untested hydrothermal mineral system where multiple independent exploration datasets, including gold-silver-copper surface geochemistry, alteration and geology, airborne magnetics, 3D IP chargeability/resistivity and identified epithermal-to-potential-porphyry target environments, are converging to define drill targets, despite only 378 metres of historical drilling across two holes.
Fishpot is situated within the highly prospective Stikine Terrane and is underlain by Hazelton Group volcanic rocks and intrusive units comparable to those associated with several significant deposits in British Columbia. Extensive quartz-sericite alteration, hydrothermal brecciation, pyrite mineralization and multi-element geochemical anomalies support the interpretation of a robust mineralizing system. Fishpot is strategically positioned near active and historical mining operations, including Artemis Gold’s Blackwater Deposit, Newton Gold Project, Capoose and 3Ts Project, underscoring its large-scale discovery potential. Importantly, based on early-exploration results, Fishpot shares several regional geological characteristics commonly associated with Blackwater-style gold systems, including felsic volcanics, strong alteration, pyrite-rich mineralization and gold-silver geochemical associations. Despite the similarities the Company cannot yet make any formal connections to the surrounding properties, nor can they guarantee that such deposits exist on their ground.
Fishpot Exploration Technology: GoldInxs advanced its Fishpot targeting program by combining a conventional 3D IP survey with emerging Virtual DRILL™ remote-sensing technology as an additional targeting layer, using multiple geological, geochemical and geophysical datasets to refine and prioritize targets ahead of a planned ~2,000-metre drill program.
Fishpot Drill Permit & Expansion: GoldInxs has received the required drilling permits and expanded Fishpot to 5,509 hectares, positioning the Company to proceed with its inaugural ~2,000-metre modern drill program on a property that has seen very limited historical drilling, while refining targets through integrated geological, geochemical and geophysical data.
Despite multiple encouraging exploration indicators, Fishpot has been subjected to only two historic drill holes totaling 378 metres, leaving the broader mineral system largely untested and providing significant leverage to future exploration success.
Recent exploration completed by GoldInxs generated the highest reported gold value on Fishpot to date, returning up to 5.65 g/t Au from surface sampling, while airborne geophysical surveys identified multiple coincident magnetic and geochemical anomalies that have strengthened the Company's exploration model and target pipeline.
The 2025 program returned rock samples of up to 5.65 g/t Au, 11.35 g/t Ag and 0.42% Cu, while historical work reportedly returned up to 4.36 g/t Au and 3.2% Cu.
The property exhibits the potential low-sulphidation epithermal targets at Fishpot North, intermediate-sulphidation signatures at Fishpot East, and a large central magnetic high being evaluated for potential porphyry mineralization at depth. The Company is focused on finalizing drill targeting and preparing for the inaugural diamond drill campaign at Fishpot in the coming months following completion of the IP survey. GoldInxs is preparing to drill-test a 5,509-hectare, largely undrilled hydrothermal system in central British Columbia where high-grade surface gold-silver-copper results, Blackwater-style geological characteristics and multiple coincident geophysical targets have converged to define a portfolio of high-priority exploration targets.
