Drill core from 2 holes has been cut and submitted for assay at CRS laboratories Oy, an additional 6 holes are being cut at Palsatech Oy. First assay results are expected in the coming weeks.

At current productivity rates, drilling is forecast to conclude in April 2026.

Russell Bradford, CEO of Goldsky Resources, comments:

"The drilling at Rajapalot has progressed to plan and we expect first assay results next month. I am pleased to say with the progress we are making we should complete our drilling program in April.

Following the recently announced agreement to become the 100% owner of the Barsele Project, the Company recently undertook a highly successful strategy session for our 2026 work programme. These deliverables include completing a Preliminary Economic Assessment on the Barsele project in Q4 2026 and an extensive drilling campaign on the Barsele deposit. I look forward to giving the market more updates as we progress in our business alignment to achieve our objectives for 2026 including closing the Barsele transaction in Q2."

At a recent strategic meeting session held by Goldsky management, the leadership team came together to define the Company's future direction and execution plan on the Barsele project. The intensive session focused on aligning long-term vision with an execution plan that will be used to manage our goals for 2026. The plan clearly defined what was required in both deliverables and management capability to progress the Barsele project through a significant drilling campaign and all related studies which will show the benefits to progress the project to the next level for all stakeholders.

The Rajapalot Deposit

At Rajapalot, mineralization is regarded as orogenic in nature. All examples of gold-cobalt mineralization are consistently located within highly-sheared and foliated wall-rocks adjacent to strongly hydrothermally altered, northwest to north dipping shear-zones. Mineralization is typically encountered as disseminated to semi-massive sulfide lenses (predominantly pyrrhotite and lesser pyrite and cobaltite), hosted within strongly deformed and altered, mafic volcanic and volcaniclasitic stratigraphy of the upper portions of the Paleoproterozoic-aged Kivalo Group of the Peräpohja Greenstone Belt. Prospects with high-grade gold and cobalt mineralization at Rajapalot occur across a 3 km (east-west) by 2 km (north-south) area within the larger Rajapalot project area measuring 4 km by 4 km with multiple mineralized boulders, base-of-till (BOT). Gold-Cobalt mineralization at Rajapalot has been drilled to over 640 meters below surface at both South Palokas and Raja prospects, and mineralization remains open at depth across the entire project.

Rajapalot Mineral Resource

An Inferred Mineral Resource ("MRE") has been calculated for the Rajapalot project (effective date August 26, 2021) and is based on an `underground only' mining scenario containing 9.8 million tonnes @ 2.8 g/t gold ("Au") and 441 ppm Co, equating to 867 thousand ounces ("koz") gold and 4,311 tonnes of cobalt.

Rajapalot Inferred Mineral Resource Effective August 26, 2021

• The independent geologist and Qualified Person as defined in NI 43-101 for the mineral resource estimates is Mr. Ove Klavér (EurGeol). The effective date of the MRE remains unchanged to the Previous MRE (August 26, 2021, available on SEDAR as filed by the previous owner, Mawson) and will be restated in the PEA technical report when it is filed.
• The mineral estimate is reported for a potential underground only scenario. Inferred resources were reported at a cut-off grade of 1.1 g/t (AuEq1 Au g/t + Co ppm /1005) with a depth of 20 meters below the base of solid rock regarded as the near-surface limit of potential mining.
• Wireframe models were generated using gold and cobalt shells separately. Forty-eight separate gold and cobalt wireframes were constructed in Leapfrog Geo and grade distributions independently estimated using Ordinary Kriging in Leapfrog Edge. A gold top cut of 50 g/t Au was used for the gold domains. A cobalt top cut was not applied.
• A parent block size of 12 m x 12 m x 4 m (>20% of the drillhole spacing) was determined as suitable. Sub-blocking down to 4 m x 4 m x 0.5 m was used for geologic control on volumes, thinner and moderately dipping wireframes.
• Rounding of grades and tonnes may introduce apparent errors in averages and contained metals.
• Drilling results to 20 June 2021.
• Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Technical Background, Data Verification and Quality Assurance and Quality Control

Four diamond drill rigs from Comadev Oy and Arctic Drilling Company Oy, all with water recirculation and drill cuttings collection systems, were used in this drill program. Core diameter is NQ2 (50.7 mm) and HQ (63.5 mm). Core recoveries are excellent and average close to 100% in fresh rock. After photographing and logging in Mawson's Rovaniemi facilities, core intervals of between 0.5 to 2 metres are taken, then half-sawn by independent contractors Palsatech Oy in Kemi and. The remaining half core is retained for verification and reference purposes. Analytical samples are transported by commercial transport from site to the independent contractor CRS Minlab Oy ("CRS") facility in Kempele, Finland. Samples were prepared and analyzed for gold using the PAL1000 technique which involves grinding the sample in steel pots with abrasive media in the presence of cyanide, followed by measuring the gold in solution with flame AAS equipment. Samples for multi-element analysis (including cobalt) are pulped at CRS, then transported by air to MSALABS in Vancouver, Canada and analyzed using four acid digest ICP-MS methods. All the foregoing laboratories are independent of the Company. The quality assurance and quality control program of Mawson consists of the systematic insertion of certified standards of known gold content, duplicate samples by quartering the core, and blanks placed within sample runs in interpreted mineralized rock. In addition, CRS inserts blanks and standards into the analytical process. In addition to the sample preparation and security measures described above, data verification procedures are well integrated into the Company's quality assurance and quality control program. Routine ongoing checking of all data is undertaken prior to being uploaded to the database. This will be followed by independent data verification audits at exploration milestones throughout the Rajapalot project's development. Dr. Fromhold (see "Qualified Person" below) has also reviewed the qualifications and analytical procedures of the above-mentioned laboratories, photographs of drill cores, and the PEA in connection with verifying the exploration information presented herein.

All maps have been created within the TM35/Finland Uniform Coordinate System (EPSG:2393). Tables 1 in Schedule "A" hereto provide collar and assay data. Due to the typically low angles of drill intercepts, the true thickness of the mineralized intervals are interpreted to be approximately 80-90% of the drilled thickness.

QUALIFIED PERSON

The technical and scientific information in this news release was reviewed, verified and approved by Dr. Thomas Fromhold, an employee of Fromhold Geoconsult AB, and Member of The Australian Institute of Geosciences (MAIG, Membership No. 8838). Dr. Fromhold is a "qualified person" as defined under NI 43-101. Dr. Fromhold is not considered independent of the Company under NI 43-101 as he is a consultant of the Company.
