Initial Mineral Resource Estimate: Ind. 2.86 Moz AuEq* and Inf. 1.57 Moz AuEq*

Bought Deal Financing of C$140 Million Led by Canaccord Genuity

StrikePoint Gold Inc. (TSX-V:SKP) (OTCQB:STKXF is pleased to announce it has entered into a definitive purchase agreement to acquire the Northumberland Gold Project located in Nevada’s Walker Lane, from subsidiaries of Newmont Corporation for upfront cash consideration of US$70 million. Northumberland is a substantial, past producing gold deposit largely located on private land. StrikePoint also agreed to make two additional contingent cash payments of US$25 million each in the future, the first within 120 days after completion of a Feasibility Study and the second within 120 days after achievement of certain commercial production milestones at Northumberland.

Key Transaction Highlights

• Acquisition of a gold deposit in Nevada’s Walker Lane, a tier-one mining jurisdiction: Nevada is a top ranked mining jurisdiction with numerous operations in the state and an established, proven regulatory framework.
• Independent mineral resource estimate of 2.86 million oz of gold equivalent in the indicated category and 1.57 Moz of AuEq* in the inferred category contained within 67 million tonnes and 31 Mt, respectively.

* For grades by individual metals, see Table 1 below, which includes the basis of the AuEq calculation.

• Brownfields site on private land potentially simplifies permitting:   The current MRE at Northumberland is contained on private property which previously hosted open pit production.
• Exploration Targets: Northumberland has not been explored since approximately 2010, and numerous untested targets exist, including extensions of the known mineralization.
• Regional Exploration Package: In addition to the known mineral resources, numerous near pit and property wide exploration targets exist for future exploration.
• Drill Permits in place:   Five separate drill permits are currently in place and are expected to facilitate rig mobilization and efficient exploration on both private and public land following closing, subject to applicable permit transfer or replacement requirements.

Michael G. Allen, President and CEO of StrikePoint said: “Acquiring Northumberland is a transformational step for StrikePoint. We will be focused on unlocking the potential of Northumberland going forward and advancing exploration and development activities at Northumberland. In addition to the known initial MRE outlined herein, the acquired land package has potential for additional mineral resources based on identified exploration targets. There are “near pit” and “in pit” opportunities for resource expansion as well as the regional targets to be tested.

Also, I am pleased to welcome Mr. Alan Pangbourne who will be joining the Board of Directors of StrikePoint as Chairman upon completion of the Transaction. Current Chairman, Shawn Khunkhun will remain as a strong voice on the Board.”

Mr. Pangbourne has over 35 years of experience in global mining operations and most recently was the President and CEO of Guyana Goldfields Inc. through to its sale to Zijin Mining Group Co., Ltd. in August 2020. Previously, he was Chief Operating Officer of SSR Mining Inc.; Vice President Projects South America for Kinross Gold Corporation; and held increasingly senior roles at BHP Billiton Ltd., including President and Chief Operating Officer of Nickel Americas, Projects Director for BHP’s Uranium Division, which includes the Olympic Dam Expansion, and Project Manager for BHP’s Spence copper project in Chile, the largest SX-EW copper development project at that time. He was also General Manager at an engineering company that specialized in gold heap leach & carbon-in-pulp plants.  Alan is currently a Non-Executive Director at OceanaGold where he also chairs the technical committee.

Alan Pangbourne, incoming Chairman of StrikePoint, said, “Since joining StrikePoint as an advisor, I have worked closely with Management to evaluate targets for acquisition.  After a thorough review of the Northumberland Gold Project, I’m excited by the opportunity that the Project represents.  The mineral resources already identified in Nevada give us a significant platform to build from, and we will be working hard to advance the Project on multiple fronts.”

Mr. Shawn Khunkhun, outgoing Executive Chairman of the Company and continuing director, said, “The acquisition of the Northumberland Gold Project places StrikePoint as an exciting explorer/developer in Nevada.  The skills that Alan brings to the Board of Directors of the Company will be valuable as the Company continues to advance its projects.  I look forward to working with him and management on the opportunity that Northumberland represents as a director of StrikePoint.”

Initial Mineral Resource Estimate

The current MRE represents StrikePoint’s initial MRE for the Project. The available drilling information includes 1,511 reverse-circulatory and 37 core holes, drilled by previous operators of the Project, including Cyprus Mines Corporation, Western States Minerals Corporation, Newmont USA Limited, and Fronteer Development Group Inc. StrikePoint has not yet carried out any drilling or exploration activities at the Project.

The MRE was prepared by Mr. Hebert Lopes Oliveira, B.Sc., P.Geo., Principal Resource Geologist at SLR Consulting (Canada) Ltd. who is an independent Qualified Person for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. The report has an effective date of July 31, 2026 and uses the CIM (2019) Estimation of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (MRMR) Best Practice guidelines and the CIM (2014) definitions for Mineral Resources. SLR has estimated a mineral resource as follows:

• Indicated Resource: 67,008 kt containing 2.71 Moz of gold grading at 1.26 g/t Au with 11.60 Moz of silver grading at 5.38 g/t Ag. Combined, the gold and silver indicated mineral resource equates to 2.86 Moz of AuEq* at an average grade of 1.33 g/t AuEq*.

• Inferred Resource: 30,967 kt containing 1.52 Moz of gold at a grade of 1.53 g/t Au with 4.26 Moz of silver at a grade of 4.28 g/t Ag. Combined, the gold and silver inferred mineral resource equates to 1.57 Moz of AuEq* at an average grade of 1.58 g/t AuEq*.

* For grades by individual metals, see Table 1 below, which includes the basis of the AuEq calculation.

The Northumberland Gold Project

References to active mines and other mineral projects is for illustration purposes only. There can be no assurances the Company will achieve comparable results.

Project Location & Infrastructure

The Northumberland Project is located approximately 150 kilometers by road from Tonopah, Nevada. Access is via paved highway and all-weather county road. Northumberland is located within the Walker Lane of Nevada, host to producers such as Kinross’s Round Mountain Mine, located approximately 60 kilometers by road south of Northumberland. The Walker Lane is a prolific mineral trend with significant historical production, new discoveries (including AngloGold’s Arthur Gold Project as well as Centerra’s Goldfield Project, currently under construction) and operational mines including the Round Mountain Mine operated by Kinross. Northumberland’s mineralization is considered a Carlin-style. References to other mining projects and operations are for geographic context only and are not intended to imply comparable economics, resources, or production potential.

Northumberland was initially discovered in the late 1800s. Significant oxide mineralization was discovered in the 1930s and was mined intermittently by various operators until 1991. Interests in the property were transferred to Nevada Western Gold LLC, which became a subsidiary of New West Gold in 2005. Fronteer Gold acquired Nevada Western’s interest in Northumberland in 2007, before Fronteer, including Northumberland, was acquired by Newmont in 2011.

Transaction Structure

Under the Agreement, Nu Gold LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of 1599044 B.C. Ltd. a wholly owned subsidiary of StrikePoint, will acquire from Newmont USA Limited and Fronteer Development LLC, each a subsidiary of Newmont, certain claims, fee lands, licenses, permits and equipment making up the Northumberland Gold Project, in consideration for (i) a cash payment in the amount of US$70 million on closing; and (ii) contingent payments of US$25 million within 120 days after the completion of a Feasibility Study on Northumberland and US$25 million within 120 days after the achievement of certain commercial production milestones at Northumberland. The Transaction is an arm’s length transaction.

Share Consolidation and Concurrent Financings

Prior to completion of the Transaction and subject to approval from the TSX Venture Exchange, the Company will undertake a consolidation of its shares on a basis of 10 old shares for one new share.

In connection with and prior to the closing of the Transaction, 1599042 B.C. Ltd. a subsidiary of the Company, shall complete a Brokered Offering (as defined below). The Company has entered into an engagement letter with Canaccord Genuity Corp. as lead underwriter for a bought deal private placement financing of 70,000,000 subscription receipts of FinCo  at a price of C$2.00 per Subscription Receipt for aggregate gross proceeds of C$140 million.
