SKY GOLD ADVANCES HIGH LIFE CU-AU PORPHYRY TARGET WITH STRONG

SURFACE GOLD RESULTS AHEAD OF UPCOMING DRILL PROGRAM

March 31, 202 6, Vancouver, BC, Canada – SKY GOLD CORP. (“Sky” or the “Company”) (TSX.V:SKYG)

(US:SRKZF) is excited to report results from recent fieldwork at the Evening Star Property, Nevada (the

“Property”), which further support the presence of a large, mineralized copper-gold porphyry system at

the High Life target, ahead of an upcoming ~2,400 metre drill program.

Alteration mapping highlights a core area where the porphyry system potentially daylights. Recent

sampling within the High Life target area returned 0.9 g/t Au in altered granodiorite within the

interpreted porphyry core , coincident with strong silica -sericite alteration, secondary copper

mineralization, and proximity to intrusive apophyses defined by magnetic inversion.

Fieldwork Highlights

• Alteration mapping at High Life combined with previous geophysical survey results define a

compelling case for a fertile porphyry system at High Life.

• A potential CRD system was mapped and sampled southwest of High Life, where the granodiorite

is in a faulted contact with limestone. The CRD target area aligns with a n IP conductive high

anomaly. Gold assay results include 1.87 g/t Au for a chip sample across a 3.0 -meter-wide fault

zone with secondary copper and massive sulphides that may represent the tip of a manto.

• Multiple strong gold values from grabs and chip channel samples from along the periphery of the

High Life porphyry system, including:

o The 2-3m wide Good Hope fault zone, immediately East of High Life, was sampled along

500 meter strike length with strong gold assay results, such as a chip sample across 1.8 m

for 5.58 g/t Au , quartz veins assaying 5.6 1, 5.06, 5.02, and 9.25 g/t Au, and brecciated

granodiorite with secondary copper returning 11.11 and 14.07 g/t Au.

o A narrow high -grade quartz vein at Golden bomber, West of High Life , returned an

average of 10.33 g/t Au across 4 meters of strike.

o A grab sample of a 2.0-meter-wide mineralized fault zone at Evening Star, south of CRD

Hill, returned 8.67 g/t Au.

• Copper, silver, and multi-element results are pending for all samples.

• Drill pads and permits have been prepared for the upcoming approximate 2,400 diamond core

drill program that will drill test the High Life porphyry system and CRD Hill.

“The recent alteration mapping increases our confidence that we are vectoring into a robust copper-gold

porphyry system. These results continue to validate our geophysical interpretation and reinforce High Life

as a compelling drill target ahead of our upcoming program.

In addition to High Life, we are also excited to drill CRD Hill, where a historic 1969 drill hole intersected

166 metres of polymetallic mineralization grading 0.22% Cu, 3.24% Pb, 1.41% Zn, and 76 g/t Ag*. Notably,

this interval was never assayed for gold. We look forward to following up on this mineralization — and we

will definitely be assaying for gold this time.”

High Life Porphyry Target

At High Life, 3D geophysical magnetic inversion highlights an anomaly that is one -kilometer across, and

combined with IP survey results, outlines a potential intrusive porphyry stock that is positioned just below

the surface (see News Release dated 15 January 2025).

The High Life porphyry stock is strongly magnetic and, based on recent alteration mapping on the

Property, displays a well -developed zoned alteration system characteristic of copper-gold porphyry

models, including the outer epidote, intermediate sericite and pyrite, and proximal core with strong silica,

biotite and copper.

Figure 1 shows the results from recent alteration mapping at High Life and the planned drill collars. The

core of the porphyry daylights where the granodiorite contains high silica, secondary biotite and copper

alteration, and is surrounded by very strong phyllic alteration (sericite and pyrite). Figure 2 shows a section

through the High Life system, with 3D magnetic inversion results and 2D IP survey Resistivity results, and

the planned drill hole traces. High Life has a positive magnetic signature with a coincident resistivity high.

Note the finger -like apophyses of the magnetic porphyry intrusion that reach up in the same areas as

where the ‘core’ was mapped based on the mineral alteration.

Resistivity results, and the planned drill hole traces aimed at the core and apophyses of High Life, and also

the planned holes for CRD HIll. Note that IP survey lines can image to about 300m depth maximum.

CRD Hill

Additional wide fault zones were mapped and sampled to the southwest of High Life, at CRD Hill, where

historically (1969) a drill hole returned 0.22% Cu, 3.24% Pb, 1.41% Zn, and 76 g/t Ag over 166m.* It was

not analyzed for gold.

Figure 2 shows a section through CRD Hill, which has a very strong conductive anomaly below the surface

that overlaps with a coincident magnetic low. Hydrothermal fluids responsible for CRD mineralization are

typically acidic and silica -rich, resulting in magnetic destruction and the development of conductive

sulphide bodies.

Finding bedding-parallel fault zones with semi-massive sulphides and coarse pyrite crystals in the strongly

altered limestone suggests these are the tips of the mantos for a CRD system. Gold assay results from

recent fieldwork on CRD Hill include 1.87 g/t Au for a chip sample across a 3.0-meter wide fault zone on

CRD Hill (see Figure 3), with copper, lead and silver values pending. This high gold value is significant and

indicates a significant gold credit for the potential CRD system, which is typically Cu-Ag-Pb-Zn.

Peripheral Gold Mineralization

Gold and copper mineralization occur in multiple styles surrounding High Life, strongly suggesting a fertile

system and supporting the presence of a copper-gold porphyry source at depth.

Good Hope

The Good Hope fault zone is located immediately East of the High Life. It is a significant structural feature

measuring 2 to 3 meters in width and has been traced for 500 meters along strike. See Figure 5. There are

two historic mine shafts along the fault zone.

The Good Hope Fault Zone dips to the East, away from the High Life porphyry centre . This orientation

suggests a normal fault structure caused by rise and doming of the underlying High Life porphyry system.

Sampling of the Good Hope fault zone was done either selectively -from remaining vein fragments

discarded by the early miners (late 1800s), or when exposed, a representative grab sample was taken

across the fault zone, such as the 5.58 g/t Au across 1.8m (see Figure 6).

The Company cautions that grab samples are selective by nature and are not necessarily representative

of the mineralization hosted on the property. These results are used to identify the presence of

mineralization and to prioritize future drilling targets.

zone returned 14.07 g/t Au and contains secondary copper minerals like chrysocolla and malachite.

Golden Bomber

Golden Bomber is located West of High Life, and a chalcedonic quartz vein with strong secondary copper

and altered wall rocks was uncovered near the bottom of a historic trench. Four meters of the vein was

exposed, mapped and sampled. Figure 8 shows a trench map with gold assay results; copper, silver and

multi-elements pending. The vein averages 10.33 g/t Au along 4 meters strike length.

The mineralized zone measures about 20 cm, with potentially wider portions removed by early miners.

There are multiple narrow-high grade veins at Golden Bomber, and this area also has never been drilled.

Evening Star

To the south of Gold Bug and CRD Hill lies the historic Evening Star gold mine with several steep mine

shafts. Recent investigation reveals gold mineralization is concentrated along multiple wide fault zones

that are similar to the fault zones in CRD Hill, with granodiorite rocks in faulted and mineralized contact

with limestone. A grab sample from a 2.0-meter-wide fault zone returned 8.67 g/t Au.

Qualified Person

Danae Voormeij, MSc, PGeo, a Director of Sky Gold Corp. and a Qualified Person under National Instrument

43-101, supervised the collection of samples, and has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical

information in this news release. Ms. Voormeij is not independent of Sky Gold Corp.

QAQC and Sample Methodology

The Company submits rock and drill core samples MSA Labs in Elko, Nevada, for gold content by Chrysos

PhotonAssayTM technology. This process is non-destructive and analyzes 500-gram samples, which is more

representative than the 50 -gram sample required for Fire Assay method and this innovative method

catches more gold in the sample, reducing the nugget effect.

Samples are dried and crushed to P80 minus 2mm, and 500 grams is riffle split for PhotonAssayTM method.

Another 250 grams of the crushed material is pulverized to P85 minus 75 microns for ultra -trace 48

elements by ICP-Ms following a 4-acid digest.
