GOLDEN SHIELD DRILlS 10 M AT 2.68 G/T GOLD AND 4 M AT 7.77 G/T GOLD, CONFIRMING HIGH-GRADE DEPTH EXTENSION AT MAZOA HILL DEPOSIT AND DISCOVERS FIVE ADDITIONAL PROSPECTS, TWO DRILL READY

  • 4m grading 7.77 g/t gold confirms high-grade depth extension at Mazoa Hill.
  • Two new areas of gold host rock QMC identified – both larger than Mazoa Hill.
  • Drilling starting mid-September to year end and trenching ongoing.

Golden Shield Resources Inc. (CSE: GSRI) (FRA: 4LE0) (the "Company" or "Golden Shield") is pleased to announce assay results from the final four holes of the Company's eleven-hole 3,100 metre Phase Two drill program and recent trenching results at its flagship, 5,457-hectare Marudi Mountain gold project located in the Rupununi District of southwestern Guyana . The Phase Two drill program was designed to test the extension of mineralization at depth and laterally at the previously identified Mazoa Hill prospect.

MAZOA DRILL RESULTS

Drill holes MH-22-24, MH-22-25 and MH-22-26 were drilled to test the southern extension of Mazoa Hill Deposit. This area had seen limited historical drilling. Drillhole MH-22-27 was drilled to infill a previously undrilled panel in the northern part of the deposit. Detailed geological logging and interpretative work has shown that a high-grade mineralized envelope (the "Main Zone") within the Quartz Metachert ("QMC"), plunges shallowly to the south. The Main Zone is interpreted to be down dropped vertically to the south, by a steeply dipping fault (Figure 3). The next (third) phase of drilling will target the down-dropped extension of the Main Zone, as shown in Figure 3.

Highlights Include:

Hole MH-22-26

  • 10 m grading 2.68 g/t Au , including 3 m at 5.12 g/t Au
    • Drilled as a step-out hole in the southern section of the deposit (Figure 2.). The hole was drilled above the main high-grade ore shoot and intersected the upper zone of the Mazoa Hill Deposit (Figure 3.)

Hole MH-22-27

  • 4 m grading 7.77 g/t Au
    • Designed to drill into an undrilled section of the Mazoa Hill deposit at the northern margin of the deposit.

Hilbert Shields, CEO of Golden Shield commented, "The final four drill holes from our Phase Two drill campaign at Marudi Mountain continue to produce high-grade gold intercepts. The previously unrecognized down-faulted continuation of high-grade mineralization resulted from holes MH-22-24, MH-22-25 and MH-22-26 and this has greatly improved the company's understanding of the Mazoa Hill deposit."

Lengths are drill indicated core length, as insufficient drilling has been undertaken to determine true widths at this time. The highest assay used for weighted average grade is 14.27/t gold and top-cutting is not deemed to be necessary. Average widths are calculated using a 0.50 g/t gold cut-off grade with . Sample lengths are 1m unless reduced below this to respect geological contacts

Scaled midpoints were calculated by calculating the average grade for the intercept. The true width was then estimated by comparison to modeled interpretation and wireframes. Grade x width was then calculated and scaled as a point plotted at the midpoint of the intersection

PROPERTY EXPLORATION

Since June, Golden Shield geologists at Marudi have been conducting an ongoing trenching program to develop new prospects and advance these and existing prospects to drill stage. A total of 2,010m in 17 trenches have been excavated and 505 continuous chip samples have been taken from bedrock, for which results from 340 samples have been received. Mapping and grab and channel sampling of outcrops and float material has also been ongoing. This work has increased the number of prospects, with favourable QMC host rock at surface, from eight to 13. All of these prospects are summarized in Table 2.

Trenching has mainly focused on two areas, the new prospects of Throne and July (see Figure 4). These prospects appear to form a north-northwest to south-southeast oriented, 1.9 kilometre trend that is coincident with a ridge. The ridge may be indicative of resistive weathering resulting from the comparatively hard QMC lithology. Company geologists are currently exploring for additional QMC in this trend, primarily by trenching, to establish whether these zones could be continuous and to extend it further to the north and south. Further exploration outside of these areas is required to gain an understanding of the full extent and mineral potential of the unexplored portion of the project.

Results for Throne are compiled in Figure 5. Trenching at the Throne target has uncovered QMC over a maximum strike length of approximately 230m and a maximum width of approximately 150m . This compares with a width of 55m and an outcropping strike of 120m at Mazoa Hill. At throne, the saprolite is thought to be the weathered expression of the metavolcanic and metasedimentary units that envelope the QMC. The competent, resistive QMC unit displays cubic boxworks after pyrite suggesting gold values at surface may have been depleted by leaching.

Results for July are compiled in Figure 6, and at this prospect QMC has now been mapped as three lenses over a strike length of approximately 500 m (still open), and a maximum width of approximately 100m . The full extent of the QMC unit is unknown at this time. The QMC unit at July also has a larger areal extent than Mazoa Hill, see Figure 4. At July also, the saprolite is thought to be the weathered expression of the metavolcanic and metasedimentary units that envelope the QMC and a quartz feldspar porphyry intrusion occurs in the north of the prospect. Here also, the QMC unit displays cubic boxworks after pyrite suggesting gold values at surface may have been depleted by leaching.

FUTURE PLANS

Golden Shield is planning to commence drilling in mid-September and continue until the Christmas break. Drilling will initially target the southern extension of Mazoa Hill followed by a drill test of the Throne and July prospects as results from Mazoa are awaited, and then return to Mazoa or additional move to test other targets resulting from the ongoing exploration work described below.

Trenching and surface work will also continue through this period, utilizing the Company's two excavators at site. Additional to this an extensive structural mapping program is planned, as well an Induced Polarization ("IP") survey. The IP survey will determine whether gold bearing sulphides underlying leached rocks at surface can be detected and mapped remotely. If successful, this will be an important tool in defining and ranking future drill targets.

Colin Porter , VP Exploration of Golden Shield commented, "The discovery of two areas of QMC that are larger than the surface expression of Mazoa Hill and also anomalous in gold, is significant, and extends the trend to the south-southeast of Mazoa Hill some 1.9 kilometres. Surface weather will have diminished the gold levels compared to what may exist at depth, and so the planned drill testing is required to quantify grades and thicknesses. These trenching results highlight the probability that further drill targets are likely to exist at Marudi, and the Company's ongoing work is designed to locate these."

Finally, Golden Shield continues to evaluate opportunities for future gold acquisitions in Guyana , which viewed as being immature from an exploration perspective, and continues to present opportunities for value-driven growth through acquisitions.

Lode Gold: 2024 Year-End Review and 2025 Outlook

Lode Gold: 2024 Year-End Review and 2025 Outlook

Lode Gold Resources Inc. (TSXV: LOD) (OTCQB: SBMIF) ("Lode Gold " or the "Company") is pleased to provide a year-end update.

Dear Investors,

I am excited to update you on our progress since I took over as CEO less than a year ago, just before Christmas in December 2023. With the support of the board, key shareholders, and the dedicated Lode Gold team, we have raised $6M since March 2024 and completed numerous tasks to reorganize the Company. These efforts have positioned us for future success and growth, and I am grateful for the continued support and confidence you have shown in our vision.

Strategy: Create Two Pure Play Companies to Unlock Value and Attract New Investors

Last year, around this time, I met with bankers to discuss how we plan to unlock value by spinning out the Company's assets to create two pure-play companies. This strategy resonated with many as Lode Gold has key assets situated in highly prospective mining regions in Canada and the United States. This initiative immediately creates two $7M companies from one $7M entity, thereby generating accretive value for shareholders.

Focus on Intrinsic Asset Value vs Market Cap: Do some small-cap stocks outperform large-cap investments in the long run?

Clifford Asness, who played a key role in building Goldman Sachs' Global Alpha before founding AQR, and now manages over $33 billion in assets, published a whitepaper that challenged the Efficient Market Theory. It stipulated that value may be factored into price with large-cap companies, but it may not be the case with small-cap stocks1. It states that with small or micro-cap stocks, the Less-Efficient-Market Hypothesis often holds. Why? The market is inherently inefficient due to a fragmented shareholder base and a lack of distribution, awareness and liquidity. As such, if capital is patient, investing in a small-cap stock may result in a higher return on investment in the long run compared to a large-cap stock.

In the case of Lode Gold, the intrinsic value, verified with a third-party NI 43-101 technical report, has an NPV USD $370M, yet the market cap trades at a fraction of the real value. Notwithstanding, a planned spin-out transaction valued at an additional $7.65M (pre-money value to current Lode Gold shareholders) has already obtained conditional approval.

This is a value proposition, validated by smart money: strategic investors and institutional shareholders; a total of four own approximately 60%. Intrigued by the potential of this undervalued play, I accepted the challenge of leading its turnaround and growth.

Near-Term: Gold Orogen spin out to unlock value for shareholders

The company has three key orogenic assets, with proven gold endowment.

To unlock value for shareholders; immediately we are spinning out the Canadian assets into a new company, Gold Orogen. Each Lode Gold shareholder will get shares of Gold Orogen; via a tax-efficient spin-out.

Additionally, a $3M raise has been completed at Gold Orogen, based on a $7.65M pre-money valuation. The current valuation for Lode Gold, the parent company, is at $7M. We are topping up with an additional $1.5M to ensure a $4.5M investment program for 2025 at Gold Orogen; as such both the assets in Yukon and NB will be drilled in the upcoming exploration season in the new year. Post-money, Gold Orogen will be at $12M+.

A gold asset on the Mother Lode Belt with MRE: 1 (M&I) + 2 (Inferred) Moz Au and a 2023 PEA: USD $370M (NPV 5%) will remain in the parent co, Lode Gold. Lode Gold intends to pursue a high grade underground mine opportunity. This project sits on 100% privately owned patented land where the mining license was suspended in 1942 due to the war effort.

Spin Out Unlocks Shareholder Value: Confirmed gold endowment and RIRGS on Tombstone Belt

The spin-out will result in the formation of two pure-play companies, each focused on specific areas of exploration in Canada and the US.

Company 1: Spin Co - Gold Orogen

Asset 1:

  • 27 km strike, 99.5 km2in Yukon, prolific Tombstone Belt (Snowline, 3 Aces, Sitka Gold)
  • Total of four Reduced Intrusive Targets (RIRGS)

Asset 2:

  • New Brunswick: Created one of the largest land packages (420 km2)
  • Geological analogue to New Found Gold, Galway, Calibre Mining and Puma-Kinross
  • Confirmed gold endowment

Company 2: Parent - Lode Gold

Lode Gold is the first company to evaluate this project from an underground perspective.

  • Brownfield, previously mined at 8 g/t in the 1940's.
  • 4 km strike on the 190 km mineralized Mother Lode Belt: 50,000,000 oz produced
  • 100% owned private and patented land: 3,351 acres, Mariposa County
  • California: 700 permitted mines; 14 gold
  • Mine suspended in 1942 due to gold prohibition in WWII
  • Target: 2 Moz underground 5 g/t Au
  • Typical Orogenic Deposit with Structural Controls
  • 3 Step-Out Holes hit structure (up to 1,200 m)
  • 2 nearby mines were up to 1,800 m deep at 13 g/t
  • 43,000 m drilled with 23 km of underground workings
  • 11% of the veins (2 of 7 deposits) exploited; mostly in the first 250 m
  • 2023 MRE: 1 Moz (M&I) + 2 Moz (Inferred)
  • 2023 PEA at USD $2,000/oz Au: After-tax NPV (5%) USD $370M, 31% IRR, 11 years LOM
  • Close to road, rail, power, water

Milestones Achieved in 2024:

1. Executed Spin Out Plan

  • Received conditional acceptance from the TSXV for the spinout transaction

2. Improved Capital Structure

  • Lode Gold added two additional key institutional and strategic shareholders
  • For $3M, a 19.9% strategic joint venture partner with strong technical expertise, was added to the new Spin Co
  • Tight share structure: 10:1 consolidation. About 40.000,000 shares outstanding for both companies

3. Cleaned Up Balance Sheet

  • Converted a secured debt holder to be the second-largest shareholder
  • Repaid shareholder working capital loan
  • Resolved a legacy lawsuit and eliminated a $1.6M liability

4. Enhanced Value of Assets in Yukon, New Brunswick and California

  • Addition of Martin Stratte, Lode Gold's former Director of the Board, to our Advisory Team. He was previously on the permitting team at Castle Mountain, Equinox Gold (2018-2021). The project was acquired for $200 million in 2018, and it was permitted in 2021

Upcoming Catalysts in 2025

  • Spin Co: Shareholders get shares of a new company
  • Drilling to investigate 4 RIRGS reduced intrusive targets in Yukon Tombstone Belt, 200 km from Snowline
  • Drilling in New Brunswick assets upon systematic exploration: geophysics, soil sampling, mapping, geochemistry
  • California: Revised NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate (updating 2023 MRE and investigating high grade underground potential)
  • California: Evaluate reactivating a previous mine, where the license was suspended during WWII

Invest in One Company, Get Shares of Two Companies: Optionality on three key assets

Investing in Lode Gold presents an exciting opportunity for shareholders to benefit from an advanced gold exploration project and a forthcoming spinoff with two high-value assets. This strategic move is aimed at unlocking maximum value for investors, who will gain exposure to three highly prospective gold assets through shares in two separate companies.

Wishing you a season filled with joy and prosperity.

Yours truly,

Wendy T. Chan. CEO & Director

About Lode Gold

Lode Gold (TSXV: LOD) is an exploration and development company with projects in highly prospective and safe mining jurisdictions in Canada and the United States.

In Canada, its Golden Culvert and WIN Projects in Yukon, covering 99.5 km2 across a 27-km strike length, are situated in a district-scale, high grade gold mineralized trend within the southern portion of the Tombstone Gold Belt. A total of four RIRGS targets have been confirmed on the property. A NI 43-101 technical report has been completed in May 2024.

In New Brunswick, Lode Gold has created one of the largest land packages with its Acadian Gold JV Co; consisting of an area that spans 420 km2 and a 42 km strike. McIntyre Brook covers 111 km2 and a 17-km strike in the emerging Appalachian/Iapetus Gold Belt; it is hosted by orogenic rocks of similar age and structure as New Found Gold's Queensway Project. Riley Brook is a 309 km2 package covering a 25 km strike of Wapske formation with its numerous felsic units. A NI 43-101 technical report has been completed in August 2024.

In the United States, the Company is advancing its Fremont Gold project. This is a brownfield project with over 43,000 m drilled and 23 km of underground workings. It was previously mined at 8 g/t Au in the 1940's.

Mining was halted in 1942 due the gold prohibition in WWII just as it was ramping up production. Unlike typical brownfield projects that are mined out; only 11% of the veins - in 2 out of 7 deposits have been exploited. The Company is the first owner to investigate an underground high grade mine potential at Fremont.

The project is located on 3,351 acres of private and patented land in Mariposa County. The asset is a 4 km strike on the prolific 190 km Mother Lode Gold Belt, California that produced over 50,000,000 oz of gold and is instrumental in the creation of the towns, the businesses and infrastructure in the 1800s gold rush. It is 1.5 hours from Fresno, California. The property has year-round road access and is close to airports and rail.

Previously, in March 2023 the company completed an NI 43 101 Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA"). Project Valuation has an after-tax NPV (5%) of USD $370M at $2000 2 /oz gold, IRR 31% and an 11-year LOM, averaging 118,000 oz per year. At $1,750 /oz gold, NPV (5%) is $217M. The project hosts an NI 43-101 resource of 1.16 Moz at 1.90 g/t Au within 19.0 MT Indicated and 2.02 Moz at 2.22 g/t Au within 28.3 MT Inferred. The MRE evaluates only 1.4 km of the 4 km strike of Fremont property. Three step-out holes at depth (up to 1200 m) hit structure and were mineralized.

All NI 43-101 technical reports are available on the Company's profile on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) and the Company's website (www.lode-gold.com).
