Goldstorm Outlines 2026 Strategy to Advance
Gold, Silver and Copper Targets at Its 100%-
Owned Crown Property
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 26, 2026) -
Goldstorm Metals Corp
.
(TSXV:
GSTM) (FSE: B2U)
("
Goldstorm
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to announce the Company's 2026
strategy to advance its Crown Property located in the heart of the Golden Triangle of British Columbia.
Summary of the 2026 Exploration Priorities:
Initiate a Phase 1 Drill Program at Crown of approximately 3,000 meters (m) targeting the
Copernicus gold and copper geochemical trend overlying a 1.2-kilometer-long IP
chargeability anomaly.
Pursue a Phase 2 Drill Program of approximately 6,000 m should the results from Phase 1
drilling at the Orion Spine and Copernicus warrant it.
Expand the size of our new Delta West discovery comprising multiple high-grade, gold-
bearing, shear-hosted, parallel structures with prospecting, mapping and sampling
programs.
Prospect, map and sample the Electrum, Fairweather and Delta claims (EFD), where our
Precious Metals EFD Trend has produced high-grade gold and ultra high-grade silver
values from historical prospecting and sampling.
Ken Konkin, P. Geo., President and CEO, comments:
"We are very excited to continue with our
strategies for advancing the Crown and Electrum Projects, which we believe have the potential to be
transformative for both the Company and our shareholders. Crown's strategic location within one of the
most exciting and underexplored mineral trends in recent years, combined with encouraging results
from our exploration programs, provide a very optimistic outlook for the Company. As we move
forward, we anticipate the designing and completing of drill programs across multiple high-priority
gold, copper, and silver targets. There are two particular trends of interest; the Treaty-KSM Au-Cu-Ag
porphyry trend, which appears to bisect the center of the Crown claims and, secondly, a high-grade
gold-silver trend to the east of the porphyry trend. The precious metal trend cuts though the eastern
portion of the Crown Property and includes the Electrum, Fairweather and Delta claim areas (

2026 Strategy to Advance the Crown Gold, Silver Copper Targets
The successful completion of last season's Induced Polarization (IP) and Magnetotelluric (MT) programs
in the central part of the property have significantly improved our understanding of the structural
framework at the Crown Project. The geophysical results suggest the presence of a large, intrusive body
at depth, which may be the source of mineralized veins seen at surface in the Copernicus area. The
favourable geophysical and geochemical results define an area measuring 1.2 km in a north-south
direction, and over a kilometer east to west (Figure 2). Clearly, our priority focus for the next stage of
exploration will be a diamond drilling program. We plan to begin with six drill holes dispersed throughout
the kilometer-sized IP chargeability anomaly. This Phase 1 drill program will consist of approximately
3,000 m, with an average hole length of 500 m. Phase 2 drilling could be considerably expanded,
contingent upon the success of the Phase 1 results. Figure 2 illustrates a conceptual drill hole plan on a
3-D model, targeting the co-incident Au-Cu rock sample anomalies overlying the large chargeability
anomalies. Once targets are finalized and the budget and logistics are confirmed for the proposed 2026
Exploration Program, we will release a final Phase 1 drill hole plan complete with sections.

Concurrent to the drill program, geological crews will aggressively follow-up on our recent high-grade
gold-silver-copper discoveries, exploring along their trends. Our on-going mapping, sampling and
prospecting programs have greatly contributed to the discovery of new zones and have augmented our
geological understanding of the area. Our geological team will focus efforts on "fleshing-out" discoveries
and expanding on our known mineralized areas, including Orion Spine, Delta West and the Electrum-
Fairweather-Delta (EFD) precious Au-Ag trend. The prospecting, sampling and mapping program will
commence as soon as snow levels permit access to the lower elevations.
Numerous historical high-grade Ag-Au samples have been collected along the EFD trend from narrow
hydrothermal vein and veinlet stockwork systems. Core samples obtained from the 2025 Electrum drill
program encountered silver grades approaching one kilogram per tonne. Historical surface sampling
along the EFD trend has yielded numerous, ultra high-grade multi-kilograms per tonne silver values,
some exceeding 10 kilograms per tonne, on each of the 3 claim areas that comprise EFD, as noted in
Figure 1 above.
Given the recent rise in silver and gold metals prices, exploring this trend will be one of our highest
priorities for our reconnaissance teams during the 2026 campaign. In particular, we will be focusing on
our new discovery at Delta West, which has returned gold values exceeding 39 g/t, on trend directly
south of the Brucejack Valley of the Kings Deposit (Figure 3).

Warrant Exercise Program
Goldstorm Metals also announces the successful completion of its accelerated warrant exercise
program (the "Program"), pursuant to which 100% of the Company's outstanding common share
purchase warrants (the "Outstanding Warrants") were exercised. The Program was originally announced
in the Company's press release dated December 15, 2025, whereby the expiry date of the warrants was
accelerated to January 15, 2026. Under the Program, a total of 12,720,740 common shares (each, a
"Share") were issued upon the exercise of 12,720,740 Outstanding Warrants, generating aggregate
gross proceeds of $1,272,074 for the Company. The completion of the Program aligns with the
Company's 2026 strategy to advance its Crown Property.

QA/QC
All samples were prepared at MSA Labs' Preparation Laboratory in Terrace, BC and assayed at MSA
Labs' Geochemical Laboratory in Langley, BC. Gold was assayed using a fire assay with atomic
absorption (AA) spectrometry finish. Samples over 10 ppm gold were fire assayed with gravimetric
finish. All samples were analyzed by four acid digestion with multi-element ICP-MS, with silver and base
metal over-limits being reanalyzed by emission spectrometry. MSA Laboratories quality system
complies with the requirements for the International Standards ISO 17025 and ISO 9001. MSA Labs is
