Drawing on more than 20 years of capital markets experience,\nHumbercrest works closely with management teams to broaden investor awareness,\nbuild lasting relationships with the investment community and support\nlong-term shareholder value.\n\nAbout Gemdale Gold\n\nGemdale Gold Inc. owns a portfolio of highly prospective exploration licenses\nin Finland and is focused on making significant new gold and critical metal\ndiscoveries on these properties. The Company has been active in Finland since\n2018. The Company's 100% owned projects include:\n\nPontio Gold Project (western-central Finland): Historical and recent drilling\nhas outlined near-surface gold mineralisation along a multi-kilometre trend\nthat remains open along strike and at depth. The Company started an infill and\nextension drill program in February 2026, and, based on this program, plans to\ndeliver a maiden mineral resource estimate in early 2027.\n\nIsoneva (western-central Finland): Exploration stage gold project located\nproximal to extensive boulder train anomalies. The property is subject to an\noption agreement (the \"Isoneva Option\") with Nordique Resources Inc.\n(\"Nordique\") pursuant to which Nordique may earn a 100% interest by, among\nother things, funding exploration expenditures over a three-year period and\nmaking additional financial commitments to the Company. For more information\non the Isoneva Option, please see the Company's final long form prospectus\ndated January 30, 2026, under the heading \"Business of the Corporation -\nJanuary 1, 2025, to the date hereof\".\n\nLapland Projects (northern Finland): A group of exploration permits and\napplications located within a recognized gold and base-metal exploration\nregion, in proximity to several recent regional discoveries, including Rupert\nResources' Ikkari gold project.\n\nNuotti (western-central Finland): Copper-nickel-platinum-palladium exploration\nlicense where limited historical government drilling indicates the presence of\nnear-surface copper-PGM mineralisation.\n\nSavo / Rantasalmi (southeastern Finland): Exploration license application area\ncontaining a historical NI 43-101 Inferred resource estimate prepared by a\nprior operator of 3.23 million tonnes grading 2.7 g/t gold for approximately\n276,000 ounces of gold.\n\nBearing an effective date of November 9, 2018, Rupert Resources Ltd. filed on\nSEDAR a Mineral Resource Estimate completed by Brian Wolfe (Qualified Person)\nof International Resource Solution Pty Ltd. and titled \"NI 43-101 Technical\nReport: Osikönmaki Gold project, Finland\". No new data subsequent to an\nearlier 2011 estimate was included in this study. This study used Multiple\nIndicator Kriging (MIK) for the estimation of grade into the block model. This\nstudy assumed a combined open pit and underground mining operation, recoveries\nof 85-90% and a gold price of EUR 1,200/oz (current gold price ~ EUR 4240/oz).\nThe use of MIK as an estimation method, along with the requirements of a\ngreater degree of confidence in the geological continuity for underground\nmining, were given as the reasons for the assigned lower resource category of\nInferred Resources compared to the prior resource estimate in 2011.
