FAIRCHILD GOLD ANNOUNCES FILING OF UPDATED NI 43-101 TECHNICAL
REPORT ON GOLDEN ARROW Au-Ag PROJECT, WALKER LANE GOLD
TREND, NEVADA
February 25, 2026 , Vancouver, British Columbia and Las Vegas, Nevada – Fairchild Gold
Corp. (“Fairchild” or the “Company”) (TSXV: FAIR) (FSE: Y4Y) (OTCQB: FCHDF), is pleased

*Based on cutoff grades of 0.005 oz AuEq/ton for oxide and 0.006 oz AuEq/ton for sulfide
Notes :
1. The estimate of mineral resources was done by Michael S. Lindholm, CPG of RESPEC in Imperial tons.
2. In-situ mineral resources are classified in accordance with CIM Standards
3. The base case reported mineral resources at a gold price of $3,000/oz Au has an effective date of February 16, 2026.
4. Tabulations comprise all model blocks at variable cutoff grades within the $3,000/oz Au optimized pits. Pit optimizations
used a throughput rate of 10,000 tons/day; assumed metallurgical recoveries of 70% for gold in oxide material and 60% for
gold in sulfide material, for crushed ore, and 45% for silver in both oxide and sulfide material; waste mining costs of
US$3.00/ton mined; crushing, stacking and heap leaching costs of US$8.20/ton; and general and administrative costs of
$1.14/ton
5. The average grades of the tabulations are comprised of the weighted average of block-diluted grades within the optimized
pits.
6. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
7. Rounding may result in apparent discrepancies between tons, grade and metal content.

Notes:
1. The estimate of resource sensitivity cases was done by Michael S. Lindholm, CPG of RESPEC in Imperial tons.
2. All sensitivity cases were derived from the block model from which Golden Arrow mineral resources were
reported and are classified in accordance with CIM Standards.
3. All sensitivity cases were tabulated within pits optimized using the parameters in Table 14-8 at variable gold
prices. The potential for fluctuating mining, processing, materials, labor, etc. costs is not factored into the
sensitivity analysis.
4. All oxide and sulfide material at a cutoff grade of 0.005 oz AuEq/ton is combined in the tabulations for al
sensitivity cases, and the different cutoff grades that would be applied to each redox type for reported resources
are not taken into account.
5. None of the tabulations in Table 14 -18, including the sensitivity case at $3,000/oz AuEq, can be directly
compared to the tabulations at variable cutoff grades in Table 14-10 through Table 14-17.
6. Tabulations at higher and lower gold prices than $3,000/oz Au are presented to demonstrate sensitivities to
fluctuating gold prices
7. Tabulations at gold prices lower than $3,000/oz Au represent subsets of the material contained within the
optimized pit within which current Golden Arrow mineral resources are reported
8. Tabulations within pits at gold prices higher than $3,000/oz Au reflect the potential for increased resources,
although Fairchild is not relying on increases that might result from increasing gold and silver prices in the future.
9. Rounding may result in apparent discrepancies between tons, grade, and metal content.
Post-Acquisition Next Steps:
- Initiation of a PEA with strong emphasis on metallurgy.
- Bulk Sampling with primary objective to better understand why the calculated head grades for
samples subjected to historical column testing ranged from 0.039 to 0.077 oz Au/ton (Jack S.
McPartland, 2008), which were significantly higher than the Golden Arrow resources
discussed in this report. Further metallurgical testing will also be required to determine the
effects of gold grade and sulfide content on heap leach recoveries.
- Thorough review and ranking of significant exploration targets inventory.
Nikolas Perrault, CFA, Executive Chairman of Fairchild, stated: “ The filing of this comprehensive
technical report will allow the Company to expeditiously wrap up its acquisition of this very promising
asset and proceed with its rapid advancement towards mine development.”

About Fairchild Gold Corp.
Fairchild Gold Corp. is a public company engaged in the business of mineral exploration and
development of copper, gold and silver assets in mining-friendly jurisdictions across North America.
The company is committed to identifying and developing high-quality resource properties in Nevada
with strong geological resource potential. Its strategy focuses on creating long-term shareholder value
through disciplined exploration, strategic partnerships, and responsible development practices.
Fairchild Gold's recently assembled trinity of Nevada properties includes Nevada Titan, Fairchild's
flagship property, located in the Goodsprings Mining District, Nevada, an area known for historical
high-grade copper-gold-PGEs mining. In more recent times , Nevada Titan was also highlighted for
its near surface Antimony and Cobalt potential. That was followed by a MOU towards the acquisition
of the Golden Arrow property in the prolific Walker Lane Shear Zone, encompassing two principal
resource areas, Gold Coin and Hidden Hill, with a combined measured + indicated and inferred
resource base outlined in an NI 43-101 report written by Mine Development Associates.
Finally, Fairchild's Carlin Queen property, an advanced -stage gold -silver project located at the
intersection of the Carlin and Midas-Hollister gold trends. Fairchild Gold is leveraging the potential
of all these three properties by utilizing the outstanding mineral resources support Nevada provides.
