Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - September 16, 2024) - STLLR Gold Inc. (TSX: STLR) (OTCQX: STLRF) (FSE: O9D) ("STLLR" or the "Company") announces the final batch of assay results from the exploration drilling at the Colomac Gold Project (the "Project") in the Northwest Territories, Canada.
Table 1: 2024 Exploration Drilling Highlights - Colomac Main Deposit (See Figures 1-5):
| Zone | Hole ID | Assay Result |
| Colomac Main 2.5 | C24-14 | 2.81 g/t Au over 18.50 m (incl. 71.80 g/t Au over 0.50 m) & 1.33 g/t Au over 34.00 m (incl. 4.46 g/t Au over 3.55 m) & 0.74 g/t Au over 20.00 m (incl. 12.20 g/t Au over 0.50 m) |
| Colomac Main 3.0 | C24-12 | 0.85 g/t Au over 37.00 m (incl. 1.03 g/t Au over 24.45 m) |
"g/t Au": grams per tonne gold; "m": metres
Keyvan Salehi, P.Eng., MBA, President, CEO, and Director of STLLR stated: "Our 2024 drilling campaign at Colomac concluded successfully, revealing mineralized zones beyond the known mineralization and below the 2023 Colomac PEA pit shell1. The results suggest the potential to expand the Project's estimated mineral resources. With exploration drilling at both Colomac and the Tower Gold Project in Timmins now complete, we are focused on finalizing the updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the Tower Gold Project."
Colomac Gold Project Drilling - Colomac Main Deposit (See Figures 1-5)
The Colomac Main Deposit, the primary deposit of the Colomac Gold Project, occurs in a north-south striking differentiated mafic sill, approximately 9 km long and up to 155 m wide, bounded by mafic volcanic rocks. Mineralization predominantly consists of free gold, associated with quartz-carbonate veining and minor sulphides. The Colomac Main Deposit is divided into six mineralized zones along its strike.
The 2024 drilling campaign focused on the southern end of Colomac Main (Zones 2.5, 3.0, and 3.5) in areas with limited data and potential for higher-grade gold mineralization. The latest drilling targeted Zones 2.5 and 3.0 below the 2023 Colomac PEA pit shell1. Significant mineralization was intersected near deep, cross-cutting geological fault structures. Holes C24-14 and C24-12 encountered intervals of mineralized quartz-diorite, the primary host rock for gold in the deposit, below the known mineralization.

Quality Control Procedures
NQ drill core is oriented and cut with half sent to ALS Laboratories Inc. (ALS) for drying and crushing to -2 mm, with a 1.00 kg split pulverized to -75 µm (200#). ALS is an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory. A 50 g charge is Fire Assayed and analyzed using an AAS finish for Gold. Samples above 10.00 g/t Au are analyzed by Fire Assay with a gravimetric finish and selected samples with visible gold or high-grade mineralization are assayed by Metallic Screen Fire Assay on a 1.00 kg sample. STLLR inserts independent certified reference material and blanks with the samples and assays routine pulp repeats and coarse reject sample duplicates, as well as completing routine third-party check assays at Bureau Veritas Commodities Canada Ltd.
