Vancouver, British Columbia — March 2, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Galactic Gold Corp. (TSXV: GGAU) has completed Phase I of a district-scale targeting analysis across its Hardrock West claim block.
Galactic Gold’s Hardrock West Property, 100% owned and located in northwestern Ontario, is situated 10 km west of Equinox Gold’s Greenstone Gold Mine, which has 10.7 million ounces of gold.
Exploration Machine Inc. conducted the study, integrating historical exploration data with district-scale structural and geophysical analysis to evaluate the Hardrock West land package. The study identified property-wide controls on gold mineralization, linking multiple target areas and providing a framework for target generation and exploration prioritization.
According to CEO Ken Berry, Phase I has delivered a unified structural and exploration model for a land package of exceptional scale and continuity. Berry added that this represents a level of district-scale interpretation that, to their knowledge, has not previously existed. The work has prioritized the claim block into tiered exploration areas, including near-term drill targets.
The property area was divided into 19 subareas and systematically evaluated. The following high-priority targets have been identified for near-term advancement:
Tier 1 – Anchor Targets (Near-Term Drilling):
Kowalski Lake: Exhibits strong historical drill intercepts from a severely under-drilled system where recommended follow-up was never completed. Favorable structural setting near a Paint Lake Fault flexure and major fault intersections. Next steps include reconnaissance mapping, locating and twinning a key historical drill hole with step-outs, and geophysical evaluation.
Solomon’s Pillars: Displays a strong soil anomaly coincident with a historical prospect on the Watson Lake Fault, where recommended follow-up was never completed. Favorable structural geometry including flexure and splay development, with very limited drilling within the anomaly to date. Next steps include infill soil sampling and targeted geophysics, followed by drill testing.
Tier 2 – High-Priority Targets (Advancing toward Drilling):
Trench Lake: Shows repeated high-grade surface results over decades along Paint Lake Fault corridor. Historical drilling incomplete with portions unassayed. Next steps: Focused mapping and geophysics; drilling to test depth and strike continuity.
Turkey Lake & Wildgoose South: Are on trend with the nearby Hardrock Gold camp, with high-grade historical drilling near claim boundaries. Structurally favorable but masked by overburden. Standout lake sediment anomaly. Next steps: Targeted geochemical follow-up and geophysics to define drill targets beneath cover.
Angle-Watson Lake: Is along the same structure as past-producing mines west of the property. Multiple high-grade surface occurrences and demonstrated gold system with arsenopyrite association. Next steps: Structural interpretation, focused prospecting, and geophysics.
Kenneth-Daphne Lake: Features a large, underexplored area with multiple deposit styles and nearby high-grade occurrences, including shear-hosted and intrusive-related gold systems. Next steps: Structural synthesis and prospecting to prioritize specific target areas.
Coral Lake: Displays anomalous drilling results within a structurally complex zone east of Kowalski Lake. No modern follow-up. Next steps: Detailed compilation, higher resolution magnetics, prospecting, and target refinement.
CEO Ken Berry stated that the Hardrock West Property remains significantly underexplored by modern standards relative to surrounding ground. The property encompasses more than ~85 kilometres of orogenic faults and is positioned adjacent to major gold deposits and a producing mine within the Hardrock Gold Camp.
Jason Arnold, P.Geo., President of DCX Geological Consulting and an independent Qualified Person, has reviewed and approved the geological information reported in the release.
Galactic Gold Corp. is a resource development company focused on unlocking the full potential of its 100%-owned Hardrock West Property, located in Ontario. With 15,000 Hectare (37K Acres), Galactic Gold is positioned between Equinox Gold Greenstone Mine (10.7M oz au) and Equinox’s Brookbank Deposit (2.5M oz au).
