STLLR Gold’s Hollinger Tailings Project Maiden Mineral Resource
Estimate Provides A Strong Foundation for Exploring Future Short-
Term Development Under Ontario’s New Recovery of Minerals
Regime
TORONTO, ONTARIO, November 25, 2025 – STLLR Gold Inc. (TSX: STLR) (OTCQX: STLRF) (FSE: O9D)
(“STLLR” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the results of a m aiden Mineral Resource
Estimate (“MRE”) for its Hollinger Tailings Project (“Hollinger”) located in the Timmins Mining Camp
in Ontario, Canada.
Keyvan Salehi, P.Eng., MBA, President, CEO and Director of STLLR, stated, “The maiden Hollinger MRE
marks a significant de-risking milestone since the genesis of S TLLR Gold and a big step towards
remediating a 100-year-old site. Hollinger has rapidly emerged as one of the most exciting near -
surface gold opportunities in the Timmins Mining Camp. In under twelve months, we progressed
from initial access to delivering a robust tailings MRE with more than 82% of the mineralization in
the Indicated category. Overall, Hollinger has now been characterized with a high level of confidence
and consistency, which is the start of us mapping out a path to potential cash flows at current gold
prices.”
“The hallmark of Hollinger is its uniformity. Hole after hole demonstrates remarkably consistent gold
grades across the facility . Based on the geological continuity observed, we believe there is clear
potential to add meaningful ounces , particularly along the northwest and northeast corners that
could not be drilled last season.”
“Phase 1, which hosts the higher average estimated grades of 0.41 g/t Au in the Indicated mineral
resource category, presents a compelling early opportunity for value creation. Our technical teams
are advancing mining sequence analysis and operating scenarios specifically tailored to Phase 1,
with the goal of positioning this portion of the deposit as the logical starting point for any future
potential production plan.”
“From a business standpoint, we continue to explore how Hollinger stands out to generate near -
term cash flow at current gold prices with minimal capital intensity given the surrounding
infrastructure. As a result of the near-surface material having been previously mined and with strong
metallurgical recoveries for tailings material, we believe that Hollinger represents a rare opportunity
to unlock value without the long timelines and major capital typically associated with conventional
greenfield mining projects.”

“Equally important is the permitting pathway. We have initiated permitting under Ontario’s new
Recovery of Minerals Regime, which was specifically designed to streamline the development of
such projects. Our experience with the Ministry of Energy and Mines over the past year — support
for the characterization program and rapid collaborative engagement — gives us confidence in the
process ahead.”
“I am extremely proud of the team. Securing access, establishing a strong working relationship with
the Ministry and the City of Timmins , completing the significant sonic characterization program,
advancing metallurgical work, and now delivering an NI 43 -101 MRE — all in under a year — is a
testament to the efficiency and discipline of our organization and demonstrates what is possible
when the geology, permitting pathway, and execution all align.”
“We believe Hollinger has the potential to deliver value on multiple fronts: environmental
rehabilitation by reprocessing a century-old tailings facility, community benefit by unlocking long-
term surface land use opportunities, and meaningful near-term value creation for shareholders. We
remain committed to working collaboratively to advance the project through the permitting process
in 2026. Hollinger represents a rare opportunity: near -surface mineral resource ounces under a
permitting regime specifically designed to accelerate recovery of minerals from historical tailings.”
Michelle Boileau, Mayor of Timmins, Ontario, commented, "The City of Timmins’ continued
collaboration with STLLR Gold is a powerful example of how modern mining can be a force for
sustainable development. By reprocessing historic mine tailings, the Hollinger Tailings Project has
the potential to remediate the environment and unlock new land -use possibilities in the City of
Timmins.”

There is no certainty that the Hollinger MRE will be converted to Proven and Probable Mineral Reserve
categories or will be realized in the future. Mineral Resource estimates that are not Mineral Reserves do not
have demonstrated economic viability. The Hollinger MRE may be materially affected by environmental,
permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio -political, marketing, access to processing facilities , or other relevant
risks, uncertainties and other factors, as more particularly described in the Cautionary Statements at the end
of this news release.
Notes to Accompany the Hollinger MRE
(1) These mineral resources are not mineral reserves as they do not have demonstrated economic viability. The Hollinger MRE follo ws

current CIM Definition Standards (2014) and CIM MRMR Best Practice Guidelines (2019). The resource estimate is presented as in-
situ and undiluted and is considered to have reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction.
(2) The mineral resources are constrained by a resource pit shell based on a 0.21 g/t Au cut -off representing a truck and loader
extraction scenario. The cut-off grade of 0.21 g/t Au was calculated using the following parameters: operating cost = CA$ 17.00/t;
payable gold = 99.95%; gold price = US$3,000/oz; USD/CAD exchange rate = 1.38; mill recovery of 61.3%.
(3) The independent and qualified person for the Hollinger MRE, as defined by National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for
Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”), is Brian Thomas, P.Geo. of WSP Canada Inc. (“WSP”). The effective date of the MRE is November 24,
2025.
(4) The estimation encompasses wireframes representing Phase 1 and Phase 2 walls and cells which contain the tailings material.
(5) High-grade capping of assays was set at 1.3 g/t Au.
(6) The estimate was completed with a sub-blocked model in Datamine Studio RM, with a parent block size of 10 m x 10 m x 1 m (X,Y,Z)
and a minimum sub-block size of 2.5 m x 2.5 m x 0.5 m (X,Y,Z), using inverse distance squared (ID2) interpolation method based on
1m composite samples.
(7) Density values for tailings material ranged between 1.6 g/cm3 and 1.9 g/cm3 according to depth and differences between material in
walls and cells.
(8) Hollinger Mineral Resources were classified as Indicated and Inferred. Indicated mineral resources were defined for blocks where drill
hole spacing is 50 m or less and Inferred mineral resources where drill hole spacing is greater than 50 m.
(9) Potential mining continuity was evaluated inside the pit shell by generating grade shells. Grade shells below cut -off within the
resource pit shell with volumes greater than 2,500 m3 were assumed to be sortable and were excluded from the MRE. Grade shells
below cut-off with volumes less than 2,500 m3 were assumed to be too small for sorting and included in the MRE.
(10) The resource tonnage was rounded to the nearest 100,000 tonnes and the metal contents are presented in troy ounces (tonnes x
grade / 31.10348) rounded to the nearest thousand ounces. Any discrepancies in the totals are due to rounding effects.
(11) The Hollinger MRE is based on a 61.3% gold recovery rate via cyanide leaching at a 30-micron grid size. The Company also tested
flotation at a 38-micron grind size and achieved 82.5% gold recovery with a 11.7% mass pull and grading 2.69 g/t Au, 2.3 g/t Ag and
16.5% sulfur.
(12) As of the effective date of the MRE , the qualified person is not aware of any known environmental, permitting, legal, title -related,
taxation, socio-political, or marketing issues or any other relevant issue that could materially affect the Hollinger MRE.
Mineral Resource Estimate and Metallurgical Testing
The Hollinger MRE (see Table 1 and Figure 1) is based on 11,230 metres (“m”) of characterization sonic
drilling from 423 holes spaced on a 50 m grid, successfully classifying 82% of the mineralization in
the Indicated mineral resource category. The Hollinger Tailings stack on average covers an area 1,950
m long, 1,250 m wide and up to 40 m thick in the southwest corner. The geological and mineralization
domain models were developed based on depositional history, lithological logg ing and assays
results, confirming strong continuity and consistency in mineralization and grade in the tailings.
The design of the metallurgical program and review of the results was completed by WSP and
analysis was performed by SGS Canada Inc. Initial results show 61.3% gold recovery via conventional
cyanide leaching, a common configuration of the processing facilities proximal to Hollinger with
excess capacity. The Company sees an opportunity to improve recovery with further testing.

Cautionary Statement regarding Mineral Resource Estimates
Until mineral deposits are actually mined and processed, Mineral Resources must be considered as estimates only. Mineral
Resource estimates that are not Mineral Reserves and have not demonstrated economic viability. The estimation of
Mineral Resources is inherently uncertain, involves subjective judgement about many relevant factors and may be
materially affected by, among other things, environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio -political, marketing, or
other relevant risks, uncertainties, contingencies and other factors described in the Company’s public disclosure available
on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. The quantity and grade of reported “Inferred” Mineral Resource estimates are uncertain
in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define “Inferred” Mineral Resource estimates as an “Indicated” or
“Measured” Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in upgrading “Inferred” Mineral Resource
estimates to an “Indicated” or “Measured” Mineral Resource category. The accuracy of any Mineral Resource estimates is
a function of the quantity and quality of available data, and of the assumptions made and judgments used in engineering
and geological interpretation, which may prove to be unreliable and depend, to a certain extent, upon the analysis of
drilling results and statistical inferences that may ultimately prove to be inaccurate. Mineral Resource estimates may have
to be re-estimated based on, among other things: (i) fluctuations in mineral prices; (ii) results of drilling, and development;
(iii) results of future test mining and other testing; (iv) metallurgical testing and other studies; (v) results of geological and
structural modeling including block model design; (vi) proposed mining operations, including dilution; (vii) the evaluation
of future mine plans subsequent to the date of any estimates; and (viii) the possible failure to receive required permits,
licenses and other approvals. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of a “Inferred” or “Indicated” Mineral Resource
estimate will ever be upgraded to a higher category. The Mineral Resource estimates disclosed in this news release were
reported using Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and
Mineral Reserves (the “CIM Standards”) in accordance with NI 43-101.
Cautionary Statement to U.S. Readers
This news release uses the terms “Mineral Resource”, “Indicated Mineral Resource” and “Inferred Mineral Resource” as
defined in the CIM Standards in accordance with NI 43-101. While these terms are recognized and required by the Canadian
Securities Administrators in accordance with Canadian securities laws, they may not be recognized by the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Mineral Resource estimates and related information in this news release may not be comparable to similar information
made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal
securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.
