(*Rock grab samples are selective by nature and may not be representative of the mineralisation on the property). All eight holes intersected silver-gold mineralisation, with high-grade silver in LSRC13 and LSRC14 and lead and zinc credits in some intervals.

Drilling the southern extent of the structure intersected 7.6m at 36.8 g\/t Ag Eq (17.9 g\/t Ag, 0.2 g\/t Au, 0.23% Pb and 0.15% Zn) from 91.4 m in LSRC16 (Figure 1).<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 16px; padding:0; font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:1.6; color:#333333;\">The mineralisation occurs strongly associated with significant manganese (0.1-4% Mn) with disseminated sulphides often associated with narrow felsic dikes hosted in carbonaceous siliclastic phyllites. The mineralisation style looks very similar to the manganese-rich polymetallic mineralisation that was intersected in LSRC02 at depth beneath Robbers Knob (See news release on August 5, 2026). Importantly, mineralisation at Black Diamond remains open along strike as well as up- and down-dip.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin:22px 0 10px; font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,Arial,sans-serif; font-size:16px; line-height:1.4; color:#1c2533;\">Discussion and Expansion Potential<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 16px; padding:0; font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:1.6; color:#333333;\">All the exploration work by Lodestar in the leadup to drilling which includes soil sampling (See news release on October 28, 2025) and DDIP surveys (See news release on March 10, 2026) strongly supports Black Diamond as at least an extensive one kilometer-long structural zone of silver-gold mineralisation and drilling has now validated this hypothesis with higher grade discovery holes LSRC13 and LSRC14. Lodestar also believes that it is highly possible that Black Diamond could represent a complex array of multiple structures as indicated by two zones of polymetallic mineralisation in LSRC12 (Table 2). Lodestar plans to follow up Black Diamond with some deeper drilling to test the extent of mineralisation to depth and also to test for multiple stacked structures.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin:22px 0 10px; font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,Arial,sans-serif; font-size:16px; line-height:1.4; color:#1c2533;\">Pending Assays<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 16px; padding:0; font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:1.6; color:#333333;\">Assays are pending for 2 additional holes totaling 312 m at Crown North which drill tested the projected northern extension of the Adelaide Crown epithermal gold deposit held by Nevada Gold Mines. Mineralisation on adjacent properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralisation on the Gold Run project.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin:22px 0 10px; font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,Arial,sans-serif; font-size:16px; line-height:1.4; color:#1c2533;\">Sampling Procedures and QA\/QC<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 16px; padding:0; font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:1.6; color:#333333;\">RC holes were drilled by HD Drilling using a 5.5\u2033 hammer with a 5\u00bc\u2033 M40CC hammer bit and reverse circulation methods to minimize contamination and maximise sample size. In some deeper sections of certain RC holes, a 5\u2033 hammer was used to achieve greater depth penetration.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 16px; padding:0; font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:1.6; color:#333333;\">Reverse circulation (RC) drilling was used to obtain representative drill cuttings for geological logging and laboratory assaying. Samples were collected at 5 ft (1.52 m) intervals. Drill cuttings from each interval passed through the cyclone and were split using a rig-mounted rotary splitter. A representative split of approximately 4\u20139 kg was collected into cloth sample bags for assay. RC drilling was conducted dry where practicable. Where wet RC drilling was required to maintain drilling performance in some deeper or more difficult sections, samples were collected at the same 5 ft intervals using a rotary wet splitter, and recorded by the project manager on the sampling cut sheet for later reference. The drilling contractor cleaned the rig-mounted rotary cone splitter at regular intervals and as required to minimize contamination between samples. RC samples were collected from 5 ft bulk samples using the A-chute of the splitter attached directly to the cyclone. Overall, the drilling and sampling procedures were designed to maximise sample recovery, reduce fines loss, and maintain representative RC samples for geological logging and assay. Cloth bags were marked by the program manager with the drill hole ID and sample interval\/footage to maintain sample identification and traceability. All 5 ft split samples were submitted to the laboratory for analysis. All samples are transported in large bags sealed with numbered security tags. The sample bags are picked up by a service contracted by Bureau Veritas to transport the samples directly from site to their facility in Sparks near Reno, Nevada. The sampling approach is considered appropriate for RC drilling and for the style of mineralisation being tested.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 16px; padding:0; font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:1.6; color:#333333;\">The QA\/QC procedure adopted is approximately 3 blank samples per 100 samples, 2 standard samples of known gold, silver, lead and zinc grades per 100 samples and 3 field duplicates per 100 samples. All QA\/QC samples were within expected tolerances.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 16px; padding:0; font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:1.6; color:#333333;\">RC samples were prepared by Bureau Veritas located in Sparks, Nevada USA using preparation code WGHT. This procedure involved crushing samples to 70% passing 2 mm and pulverising the entire sample to 85% passing 75 \u00b5m. Gold analyses were completed in Bureau Veritas located in Vancouver, Canada on a 30 g charge using lead collection fire assay with an atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) finish (method FA430). Samples returning over-limit gold values were re-analyzed using a gravimetric finish (method FA530). Multi-element analyses were completed in Bureau Veritas located in Vancouver, Canada following four-acid digestion with inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-ES) using method MA300, which provides analyses for a broad suite of exploration elements. Samples returning over-limit silver, lead and zinc values were re-analyzed using MA370 which is a four-acid digestion followed by ICP-ES (ICP-OES) analysis. Bureau Veritas applies internal laboratory QA\/QC procedures as part of its analytical process. Final analytical results were reported in certified laboratory assay certificates provided to the Company&#8217;s management and technical team. Bureau Veritas Minerals laboratories operate under an ISO\/IEC 17025:2017 accredited quality management system for the relevant mineral analytical methods. The sample preparation and analytical methods are considered appropriate for RC drill-chip samples and for the style of gold and polymetallic mineralisation being tested. True widths of the assay intervals are estimated to be 85-95% of the reported drill hole lengths.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin:22px 0 10px; font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,Arial,sans-serif; font-size:16px; line-height:1.4; color:#1c2533;\">Additional Information<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 16px; padding:0; font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:1.6; color:#333333;\"><sup>1<\/sup> Silver Equivalent (AgEq) metal values are calculated using a 3-month running average price (June-August 2026): $4,300 Au USD\/oz, Ag 66.0 USD\/oz, Pb $1,900 USD\/tonne and Zn $3,600 USD\/tonne.
