STLLR Gold Intersects 3.11 g/t Au over 15.70 m at the Jonpol Deposit of the Tower Gold Project and Announces Board Change - newsfilecorp.com
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 4, 2026) - STLLR Gold Inc. (TSX: STLR) (OTCQX: STLRF) (FSE: O9D) ("STLLR" or the "Company") reports additional 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 | MGA26-276 | 3.11 g/t Au (2.00 g/t Au, cut) over 15.70 m (9.57 m TT) (including 5.15 g/t Au over 1.00 m (0.61 m TT) & 49.20 g/t Au (25.00 g/t Au, cut) over 0.72 m (0.44 m TT) |
| Jonpol | MGA26-277 | 1.44 g/t Au over 33.77 m (12.00 m TT) (including 2.36 g/t Au over 9.69 m (3.44 m TT) |
| Jonpol | MGA26-275 | 2.41 g/t Au over 16.00 m (10.49 m TT) (including 4.71 g/t Au over 1.00 m (0.65 m TT) |
"g/t Au" = grams per tonne gold; "m" = metres; "TT" = True Thickness
"Our latest drilling continues to deliver high-grade, near-surface gold intersections, demonstrating the exceptional potential of the Jonpol Deposit," said Keyvan Salehi, P.Eng., MBA, President, CEO, and Director of STLLR Gold. "The combination of mineralized intervals, strong grades, and high metal factors in several holes demonstrates the continuity and strength of the system. These results provide further confidence in the potential to grow and upgrade the Jonpol mineralization, which we believe can make a meaningful contribution to improving the overall economics and production profile of the Tower Gold Project."
"With the success we've seen at Jonpol, we plan to continue targeting higher-grade, near-surface mineralization in the Garrison Property of Tower for the remainder of 2026."
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.
STLLR has completed 8,536 m of drilling at Jonpol for its first-half 2026 drill program, with assay results pending for the remaining holes. STLLR is currently finalizing drilling plans for the remainder of 2026. This year's programs are 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 Preliminary Economic Assessment ("Tower PEA")1 to approximately 1,200 m. Jonpol remains open along strike and at depth.
- Infill and 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.
These additional assays continued to intersect near-surface, high-grade mineralization (see Table 1) in targeted areas along the western strike extension. Most of the intersected grades exceed the current average open-pit grades at Jonpol in the Tower MRE, suggesting the potential to expand the mineral resources. These results continue to 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 independent 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.
