About Gemdale Gold
Gemdale Gold Inc. owns a portfolio of highly prospective exploration licenses in Finland and is focused on making significant
new gold and critical metal discoveries on these properties. The Company has been active in Finland since 2018. The Company's
100% owned projects include:
Pontio Gold Project (western-central Finland): Historical and recent drilling has outlined near-surface gold mineralisation
along a multi-kilometre trend that remains open along strike and at depth. The Company started an infill and extension drill
program in February 2026, and, based on this program, plans to deliver a maiden mineral resource estimate in early 2027.
Isoneva (western-central Finland): Exploration stage gold project located proximal to extensive boulder train anomalies. The
property is subject to an option agreement (the "Isoneva Option") with Nordique Resources Inc. ("Nordique") pursuant to which
Nordique may earn a 100% interest by, among other things, funding exploration expenditures over a three-year period and
making additional financial commitments to the Company. For more information on the Isoneva Option, please see the
Company's final long form prospectus dated January 30, 2026, under the heading "Business of the Corporation - January 1, 2025,
to the date hereof".
Lapland Projects (northern Finland): A group of exploration permits and applications located within a recognized gold and
base-metal exploration region, in proximity to several recent regional discoveries, including Rupert Resources' Ikkari gold
project.
Nuotti (western-central Finland): Copper-nickel-platinum-palladium exploration license where limited historical government
drilling indicates the presence of near-surface copper-PGM mineralisation.
Savo / Rantasalmi (southeastern Finland): Exploration license application area containing a historical NI 43-101 Inferred
resource estimate prepared by a prior operator of 3.23 million tonnes grading 2.7 g/t gold for approximately 276,000 ounces of
gold.
Bearing an effective date of November 9, 2018, Rupert Resources Ltd. filed on SEDAR a Mineral Resource Estimate completed
by Brian Wolfe (Qualified Person) of International Resource Solution Pty Ltd. and titled "NI 43-101 Technical Report:
Osikönmaki Gold project, Finland". No new data subsequent to an earlier 2011 estimate was included in this study. This study
used Multiple Indicator Kriging (MIK) for the estimation of grade into the block model. This study assumed a combined open pit
and underground mining operation, recoveries of 85-90% and a gold price of EUR 1,200/oz (current gold price ~ EUR 4240/oz).
The use of MIK as an estimation method, along with the requirements of a greater degree of confidence in the geological
continuity for underground mining, were given as the reasons for the assigned lower resource category of Inferred Resources
compared to the prior resource estimate in 2011. The Resource Estimate was reported at a cut-off grade of 1.5 g/t Au.
Osikonmäki Mineral Resource Estimate for Rupert Resources Ltd, 9 Nov 2018
Year Cut-off Au g/t Classification Tonnes Au (g/t) Au oz
2018 1.5 Inferred 3,230,000 2.7 276,000
The Company is not aware of any further drilling or sampling being conducted on the property since this historical estimate was
completed. Gemdale Gold Inc is not treating this historical estimate as a current resource estimate. Neither Gemdale Gold Inc nor
a Qualified Person has done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as a current Mineral Resource Estimate. The
Company believes this historical estimate is relevant and reliable in providing insight into the potential mineral resources for the
project based on historical drilling completed to date. Gemdale believes that further drilling is not required, but that it is
necessary for a Qualified Person to review the assumptions and methodology used for the estimation, to verify or upgrade these
historical resources to a current Mineral Resource Estimate.
