Goldsky Resources -2026 Drilling Program Commences at Rajapalot Gold Project, Finland
HIGHLIGHTS
- Four diamond drill-rigs have been mobilized to site over the past weeks and have begun a 10,000 meter drilling program at Rajapalot
- Approximately 8,000 meters will focus on infill drilling at the Raja and Palokas deposits, aimed at increasing confidence in the existing Inferred Resources and supporting progression from exploration licenses to mining licenses under Finnish regulations (Figure 1)
- A 'target-test' drill program of approximately 2,000 meters is planned to drill-test several compelling high-priority exploration targets in the immediate vicinity to the current Rajapalot resource areas in order to support potential resource growth (refer to Figure 1)
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

Rajapalot Inferred Mineral Resource Effective
- 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.
