Snowline GOLD Receives Third Consecutive Robert E. Leckie Award FOR Environmental Performance and Receives 2025 Community Award at Yukon’S Geoscience Forum
SNOWLINE GOLD RECEIVES THIRD CONSECUTIVE ROBERT E. LECKIE AWARD
FOR ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE AND RECEIVES 2025 COMMUNITY AWARD
AT YUKON’S GEOSCIENCE FORUM
Vancouver, B.C., November 21, 2025: SNOWLINE GOLD CORP (TSX-V: SGD) (OTC:
SNWGF) (the “Company” or “ Snowline”) is honoured to announce its receipt of the 202 5
Robert E. Leckie Award for Responsible and Innovative Exploration and Mining Practices
from the Government of Yukon as well as the 2025 Community Award presented by the Yukon
Chamber of Mines . This is the Company’s third consecutive year receiving a Leckie Award
for its environmentally conscious exploration practices in the Yukon Territory, including
progressive reclamation of disturbances and clean-ups of historical third-party exploration and
mining sites. In 202 5, the award was conveyed in recognition of environmentally sound
exploration practices and progressive reclamation through the discovery and advancement of
its Valley deposit and other exploration sites , where disturbances to the landscape and
vegetation have been minimized from discovery through current pre-feasibility study stages.
“We are excited and grateful to receive our third consecutive Robert E. Leckie Award , along
with our first Yukon Community Award, recognizing the efforts of our team in setting high
environmental and social bars for sound mineral development ,” said Scott Berdahl, CEO &
Director of Snowline. “I would like to thank the awards committees and our nominators for the
recognition, and I would especially like to thank our team, contractors and other collaborators
who have helped to shape and champion a culture of accountability throughout our organization
and operations. As a Yukoner myself, I am proud of the minimal footprint created over the past
five seasons at Valley, where - apart from the compact footprint of our temporary camp - it
takes a careful eye to notice the location of our past and present activities, despite our
delineation of a major gold deposit. This embodies our philosophy of environmental protection
and long-term perspective. In addition, our team continues to make meaningful positive
contributions to multiple Yukon communities through the course of our work. These outcomes
are a result of and testament to our values -driven approach. We take our commitments and
responsibilities as operators very seriously, and we aim to continue building Snowline as a
leader in these areas as we advance and explore.”

Robert E. Leckie Award: Snowline has advanced its Valley gold deposit on the Rogue Project
from a discovery outcrop in 2021 to an open, 7.94 million ounce Measured and Indicated
Mineral Resource Estimate backed by a robust Preliminary Economic Assessment in 2025 ,
while creating minimal surface disturbance (Figure 1) . Helicopter -supported drilling has
avoided creation of linear corridors, and retention of surface organics at drill sites encourages
rapid regeneration of vegetation (Figure 2). 100% of drill pads from 2021-2024 have been fully
reclaimed at Valley, along with 82% of drill pads from 2025, with the remainder slated for
early 2026 reclamation following movement of drills to new pad sites.
Figure 2 – Surface imagery of the Valley gold deposit prior to 2021 (top) and during the 2025 field season (bottom) . The
compact, continuous nature of Valley allows for cost-effective use of heli-supported drilling, minimizing surface disturbance.
Snowline’s Valley camp is visible in the top left of the 2025 image, occupying a small spatial footprint. Various small, localized,
and reclaimed drill pad disturbances can be seen through the central part of the image. Snowline’s progressive reclamation
practices have left this site and others largely in their original state.
In addition , the Company significantly expanded environmental baseline surveys, wildlife
monitoring, hydrology programs and reclamation oversight. The solar array at Forks camp,
installed by Solvest and leased from the Na-cho Ny äk Dun Development Corporation,
generated over 10,000 kWh of clean energy, reducing diesel use.
The Leckie Award is presented in up to three categories each year, with recognition for socially
responsible practices, environmental stewardship, and innovation in mining in Canada’s Yukon
Territory. The awards committee comprises representatives from the Council of Yukon First
Nations, the Yukon Chamber of Mines, the Klondike Placer Miner’s Association, and the
Government of Yukon. The award was presented at the 2025 Yukon Geoscience convention in
Whitehorse, Yukon.
YCM Community Award : The Yukon Chamber of Mines recognized various social
performance and community initiatives undertaken by the Company including sponsorship of
Ihdzi’, a new community hub in Mayo, Yukon, co-delivering a youth training program with
the First Nation of Na -Cho Nyäk Dun, and sustaining Ross River School’s Rural Nutrition
Program, demonstrating a commitment to meaningful positive community impact. The
Company also support s local events and organizations , prioritizes local procurement, and
maintains inclusive workplace policies and practices.

ABOUT SNOWLINE GOLD CORP.
Snowline Gold Corp. is a Yukon Territory focused gold exploration and development company
with mineral claim portfolio covering roughly 360,000 ha (3,600 km 2). The Company is
advancing its Valley gold deposit—a large, low -strip, near surface, >1 g/t Au bulk tonnage

gold system located in the eastern Yukon —while continuing regional exploration of
surrounding targets on the Rogue Project and the broader district in the highly prospective yet
underexplored Selwyn Basin.
Valley hosts an open MRE of 7.94 million ounces gold at 1.21 g/t Au Measured & Indicated
(in 204.0 million tonnes) and an additional 0.89 million ounces gold Inferred at 0.62 g/t Au (in
44.5 million tonnes) 1, with a cut -off grade of 0.3 g/t Au. Results of a Preliminary Economic
Assessment (“PEA”) of Valley suggest the potential for the deposit to support a long -life
mining operation with a strong production profile and low production costs. The MRE and
PEA are supported by the recent technical report for Rogue, prepared in accordance with NI
43-101 standards, entitled “Independent Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Rogue
Project Yukon, Canada,” dated August 27, 2025, with an effective date of March 1, 2025, and
available on SEDAR+ and the Company’s website.
Snowline’s project portfolio sits within the prolific Tintina Gold Province, host to multiple
million-ounce-plus gold mines and deposits across the central Yukon and Alaska. The
Company’s comprehensive first-mover position and extensive exploration databas e provide a
distinct competitive advantage and a unique opportunity for investors to be part of multiple
discoveries, the advancement of a significant gold deposit, and the creation of a new gold
district.
