STLLR Gold Intersects 16.52 g/t Au Over 5.85 Metres at the Jonpol
Deposit of the Tower Gold Project
TORONTO, Ontario, April 7, 2026 – STLLR Gold Inc. (TSX: STLR) (OTCQX: STLRF) (FSE: O9D) (“STLLR”
or the “Company”) is excited to report the first set of assay results from its 2026 drilling program
at the Jonpol Deposit (“Jonpol”) at the Garrison Property of the Tower Gold Project (“Tower” or the
“Project”) in the Timmins Mining Camp in Ontario, Canada.
Table 1: 2026 Jonpol Deposit Drilling Highlights:
Zone Hole ID Assay Result
Jonpol MGA26-248 16.52 g/t Au (uncut)/9.22 g/t Au (cut) over 5.85 metres (“m”)
(3.30 m true thickness (“TT”))
Jonpol MGA26-251 1.46 g/t Au over 22.65 m (14.31 m TT)
(including 5.27 g/t Au over 3.15 m (1.98 m TT))
“g/t Au” = grams per tonne gold
“These outstanding high-grade, near-surface results further strengthen our confidence that Jonpol
will be a major value driver for the Tower Gold Project,” said Keyvan Salehi, P.Eng., MBA, President,
CEO, and Director of STLLR. “They also highlight the significant upside at Tower, pointing to strong
potential for additional near-surface, higher-grade material. We are actively advancing exploration
along the Jonpol extension, where we see an exciting opportunity to potentially expand the open-
pit strike length from 400 m to 1,200 m at above-average resource grades.”
“Achieving this would be a game -changer for Tower, potentially enhancing both its production
profile and overall project economics by enabling earlier access to higher -grade, open -pit
mineralization in the mine plan. In addition, these results reinforce the continuity of known
mineralization, further increasing confidence in our geological model.”

Jonpol Deposit Drilling (See Figures 1-4 for Diagrams; See Tables 1-3 for Assays and Drill Details)
The Jonpol Deposit is situated in the Garrison Property at the eastern end of Tower (see Figure 1)
along the Munro Fault, a splay from the regional Destor-Porcupine Fault Zone (“DPFZ”). Mineralization
is hosted in structurally controlled alteration zones within mafic to ultramafic rocks and gold
mineralization is closely associated with felsic intrusive rocks.
The 2026 drill program, with an estimated 8,000 m of planned drilling in the first half of the year
(STLLR is currently finalizing plans for the second half of the year ), is designed to deliver on two
primary objectives:
• Strike Extension: majority of the 2026 meterage targets the western extension of Jonpol’s
open-pit mineralization. Successful results here could expand the strike from 400 m as
currently defined in the Tower P reliminary Economic Assessment (“ Tower P EA”)1 to
approximately 1,200 m. Jonpol remains open along strike and at depth.
• Infill & De-risking: the drill program is also designed to confirm the block model and support
the potential expansion of higher-grade mineralization to incorporate into the Tower Mineral
Resource Estimate (“Tower MRE”)1.
This first batch of assays intersected high-grade mineralization (see Table 1) in targeted areas along
the western strike extension . Notably, these results have yielded grades exceeding the current
average open-pit grades at Jonpol in the Tower MRE, suggesting the potential to expand the mineral
resources. Furthermore, these results confirm the current geological model, supporting the potential
expansion of higher-grade mineralization.

Quality Control Procedures
NQ drill core is oriented and cut with half sent to ALS Laboratories Inc. (ALS) for drying and crushing
to -2 mm, with a 1.00 kg split pulverized to - 75 µm (200#). ALS is an ISO 17025 accredited
laboratory. A 50 g charge is Fire Assayed and analyzed using an AAS finish for Gold. Samples above
10.00 g/t Au are analyzed by Fire Assay with a gravimetric finish and selected samples with visible
gold or high -grade mineralization are assayed by Metallic Screen Fire Assay on a 1.00 kg sample.
STLLR inserts indepen dent certified reference material and blanks with the samples and assays
routine pulp repeats, as well as completing routine third-party check assays.
True thickness (“ TT”) was calculated in Leapfrog Geo, perpendicular to the interpreted plane of
mineralization using the dip and dip azimuth of the mineralized zones.
All intercepts are calculated using a 0.30 g/t Au cut-off, a maximum of 5 m internal dilution and 25
g/t Au cap applied.
