Stallion Uranium Corp. (the ‘Company’ or ‘Stallion’) (TSX-V: STUD; OTCQB: STLNF; FSE: FE0) is pleased to announce the completion of an extension to its previous ground gravity survey along the Coyote Corridor, located within the Southwestern Athabasca Basin Joint Venture (‘JV’) Project in partnership with Atha Energy Corp. (TSX-V: SASK).

The recently completed program represents a direct extension of the Company’s original gravity grid and was designed to expand coverage over gravity responses observed along the margins of the initial survey area. The objective of the extension was to determine whether these edge anomalies form part of a larger, continuous gravity feature associated with the interpreted structural corridor at Coyote.

Data from the expanded survey is currently undergoing processing, quality control, and preliminary modelling. The Company will provide results once interpretation has been completed.

Highlights:

• Significant gravity low anomaly identified, closely resembling the geophysical signatures of NexGen Energy’s Arrow Deposit and other significant discoveries in the Athabasca Basin
• Structural and geophysical features align with those of the Arrow Deposit and PCE discovery, reinforcing the potential for Tier-1 uranium mineralization
• Gravity anomaly located in a structurally complex corridor, characterized by intersecting conductors and breaks, which are prime settings for uranium deposition
• Ongoing 3D Inversion of Ground Gravity to identify depth and shape of the gravity anomaly

‘The completion of this gravity extension is an important step in systematically advancing the Coyote Target,’ said Matthew Schwab, CEO of Stallion Uranium. ‘Expanding the grid ensures we fully evaluate gravity responses identified at the edges of the initial survey and maintain a disciplined, data-driven approach to exploration.’

Darren Slugoski, Vice President Exploration, added,

‘This extension allows us to properly assess the continuity of gravity features along the structural corridor before finalizing drill targeting. With data processing underway and a potential eastern grid about to commence, we continue to build a comprehensive geophysical dataset across the broader Coyote trend.’

Survey Extension Overview:

The gravity survey extension increases overall coverage across the Coyote structural corridor and enhances density control along strike and across interpreted conductive breaks. The combined original and extended grid now provides improved resolution of subsurface density variations that may be associated with alteration and basement structural complexity.

Gravity surveys are a key component of Stallion’s integrated exploration approach, as gravity lows within the Athabasca Basin are commonly associated with hydrothermal alteration systems developed along graphitic basement structures.

The survey encompassed a total area of 2,097 hectares, with 2,226 gravity stations strategically placed to detect subsurface variations in density that may indicate uranium alteration. The results revealed a substantial gravity low anomaly, a hallmark feature associated with large-scale uranium deposits, such as NexGen Energy’s Arrow Deposit. The Arrow Deposit, one of the most significant uranium discoveries in the Athabasca Basin, shares multiple geological and geophysical similarities with the Coyote Target, strengthening confidence in the potential for a high-grade uranium discovery.

About the Ground Gravity Survey:

Concluding February 10, 2026, MWH Geo-Surveys (Canada) Ltd. carried out a gravity survey at the Coyote Target in Saskatchewan. The survey utilized a customized L&R digital, electronic feedback gravity meter, operated via proprietary controller software. These advanced gravity meters, incorporating electronic levels and electronic nulling, ensure fast, accurate, and reliable readings, particularly in cold-weather conditions.

At each gravity station, GControl software, developed by MWH Geo-Surveys, recorded gravity samples at 1-second intervals. The resultant average of these readings was used as the final gravity measurement, significantly reducing high-frequency noise caused by wind and ground motion. Additionally, GControl calculated real-time, location-specific tidal corrections during data collection, enhancing the accuracy and reliability of the survey results.

With a typical mean data accuracy of 0.02 mgals, MWH Geo-Surveys continues to set the standard for high-resolution gravity surveys, delivering reliable results for resource exploration and geophysical studies.

Gold Runner Exploration Inc. (CSE: GRUN) (FSE: CE70) (‘Gold Runner’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce that the Canadian Securities Exchange has approved Gold Runner’s Option Agreement, dated January 21, 2026 as amended January 26, 2026, with the B-ALL Syndicate Ltd. (‘B-All’ or the ‘Optionor’) to acquire a 100% interest in the Golden Girl Property (‘Golden Girl Property’, ‘Golden Girl’ or ‘Property), from the B-ALL Syndicate, the same team that generated and staked Goliath Resources (TSXV: GOT) Surebet Discovery and contributed to advancing that discovery to where it is today. The B-ALL Syndicate also generated and staked the Big One discovery that was subsequently optioned to Juggernaut Exploration (TSXV: JUGR,OTC:JUGRF) and is situated adjacent to Galore Creek. Golden Girl is located approximately mid-way between Goliath’s Surebet Discovery and Juggernaut’s Big One discovery.

As described in the Company’s news release dated January 23, 2026, the Golden Girl property covers an area of 8,471 hectares (ha) in the Iskut River region of Northwestern British Columbia, just 17 kilometers from the Snip Mine and 14 kilometers from the Bronson Airstrip. Exploration conducted by B-ALL on the Golden Girl property identified a large new gold-silver system measuring 12 km by 7 km. The system features a gold-rich core surrounded by a silver-rich halo. Highlights from the 2024 exploration program include grab samples assaying up to 11.28 g/t Au, 3,262 g/t Ag, 5.37% Cu, 20% Pb, and 14.15% Zn, and channel cuts assaying up to 3.74 g/t Au, 2105.45 g/t Ag, 0.88% Cu, 5.48% Pb, and 7.42% Zn.

The nearby, past-producing Snip Gold Mine, historically produced approximately 1 million ounces of gold, 390,000 ounces of silver, and 249,276 kilograms of copper (at an average 127.5 grams per ton gold over 8 years). Eskay Creek, which lies approximately 60 km east of Golden Girl, produced approximately 3.3 million ounces of gold and 160,000 ounces of silver between 1994 and 2008 (with an estimated 3.3 million ounces of gold, 88 million ounces of silver in reserves). It should be noted that Eskay Creek Mine has recently been permitted to re-commence mining operations – see Skeena Resources Ltd. news releases dated January 28, 2026, and February 3, 2026. The reader is reminded that the information provided herein from neighbouring projects and properties is not necessarily indicative of resources and should not be relied upon for the determination of mineralization or potential results of the Company’s properties.

High-grade mineralization at Golden Girl occurs in structurally controlled shear zones within sulphide-rich veins, stockwork, and breccias, similar to the nearby Snip Gold Mine. Hydrothermal fluids took advantage of pre-existing structures to deposit gold-silver-rich mineralization as well as sulphides such as chalcopyrite, galena, and sphalerite associated with quartz-carbonate-rich veins. Pervasive alteration associated with fluid infiltration is often observed surrounding the zones of strong gold-silver mineralization assaying up to 11.28 g/t Au, 3,262 g/t Ag, 5.37% Cu, 20% Pb, and 14.15% Zn and channel cuts assaying up to 3.74 g/t Au, 2105.45 g/t Ag, 0.88% Cu, 5.48% Pb and 7.42% Zn.

More than 95% of the Golden Girl property remains unexplored. Rapid glacial retreat and snowpack abatement over the last 35 years have revealed vast areas of new outcrop that have never seen historical surface exploration. Gold Runner has begun planning and scheduling of prospecting, sampling, and mapping, as well as detailed geophysical surveys over the property during the current exploration season in preparation for the inaugural drill program.

Pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement, the Company has paid the initial option fee of $250,000. And the Company has also issued to the members of the B-ALL Syndicate, an aggregate of 1,830,000 common shares at a price of $1.13 per common share plus 1,830,000 common share purchase warrants exercisable within 5 years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $1.14 per common share. The securities issued hereunder are subject to the requisite four-month and one-day hold period from the date of issuance. The parties to the Option Agreement are arm’s length.

Chris Wensley, CEO of Gold Runner, states, ‘We are now fully funded to undertake and complete the 2026 exploration program on Golden Girl. Preparations are already underway to begin expanding on the excellent work done by the B-ALL Syndicate team, who generated Golden Girl. We are on schedule to commence this vital and much-anticipated field work by July 2026 and define our maiden drill program for the following season. This is a tremendously exciting time for the Company and our team. We look forward to executing and delivering on our plan and bringing notable results to our shareholders.’

NorthStar Gaming Holdings Inc. (TSXV: BET,OTC:NSBBF) (OTCQB: NSBBF) (‘NorthStar’ or the ‘Company’) today provided an update on its strategic priorities for 2026, focused on disciplined execution, effective capital allocation, and improving the Company’s profitability profile. All dollar figures are quoted in Canadian dollars.

The Company’s core strategy remains focused on growing and enhancing the NorthStar Bets online betting platform, which is known for its user-friendly interface, strong customer service, ongoing product innovation, and Canadian roots. Further enhancements to the core player experience and product functionality to drive retention and engagement will support the Company’s approach going forward.

In 2026, the Company is executing a disciplined operating plan to progress towards profitability through advertising efficiency, operating leverage, and cost management. These initiatives are intended to preserve cash resources, improve near-term returns on invested capital, and continue to enhance the quality and functionality of the Company’s product offerings.

As part of this plan, the Company has taken targeted actions to streamline general and administrative expenses. These actions are expected to result in approximately $3 million in annualized G&A cost savings, with the full financial impact expected to phase in over the course of 2026. In parallel, management continues to evaluate and implement additional operating and marketing efficiencies through oversight of discretionary advertising spend decisions and ongoing optimization of vendor and services contracts.

‘We are focused on taking deliberate, measured steps to position the Company for profitability,’ said Corey Goodman, Interim Chief Executive Officer of NorthStar. ‘The expected annualized G&A savings reflect measures that have largely been implemented. Building on these reductions, management is actively deploying additional efficiency and operating leverage initiatives across services, marketing spend, and cost of goods sold that are expected to materially enhance the Company’s EBITDA profile. In parallel, targeted investments in the product experience are being made to improve retention and increase the stability and predictability of revenue over time.’

Key initiatives supporting these objectives include:

• improving advertising productivity through more targeted and return-driven media deployment;
• reducing reliance on external advertising agencies, further rationalizing agency fees, and renegotiating key vendor and services contracts as advertising spend levels are recalibrated;
• continuing to prioritize customer retention through enhancements to the player experience, customer outreach, and internal processes;
• selectively reducing salaried personnel and contracted services where efficiencies can be achieved and service levels can be maintained; and
• refocusing the Company’s content strategy by reducing costs associated with the production of Sports Insights content and The Boost.

Taken together, these initiatives are expected to have a meaningful impact on the Company’s EBITDA profile as cost efficiencies and operating leverage are realized over the course of 2026.

The Company expects to continue to incur a declining portion of cash expenditures associated with resources being phased out of the business during a transition period through 2026, with the revised expense run rate expected to be fully reflected beginning in 2027. The Company expects to record certain restructuring-related costs in connection with these initiatives, which would be recognized in accordance with applicable international financial reporting standards. Management continues to actively monitor liquidity and capital requirements as these initiatives are implemented. The Company’s capital structure and lender relationships remain an important part of its broader operating and capital planning process. The cost reduction initiatives are expected to strengthen the Company’s covenant position in 2026, and constructive discussions with its senior lender are ongoing.

Additional details regarding the Company’s financial outlook, liquidity and associated risks were described in its management’s discussion & analysis dated November 26, 2025, available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company’s website at www.northstargaming.ca.
