STLLR Gold Provides its 2025 and Long-Term Plans and Introduces the Hollinger Tailings Project

Toronto, Ontario – Newsfile Corp. – February 3, 2025 – STLLR Gold Inc. (TSX: STLR) (OTCQX: STLRF) (FSE: O9D) (“STLLR” or the “Company“) outlines its 2025 plans and long-term outlook for the Tower Gold Project (“Tower“) in Timmins, Ontario, and the Colomac Gold Project (“Colomac“) in the Northwest Territories (“NWT“), Canada. The Company is also thrilled to introduce its Hollinger Tailings Project in Timmins, Ontario, highlighting its debut and outlining plans for 2025. Situated within the city of Timmins and conveniently close to existing processing facilities, the project stands out as a strategic opportunity. Recent changes to the Ontario Mining Act1 (“Mining Act“) simplify the permitting process to unlock the economic potential of reprocessing mine tailings while encouraging environmental remediation of legacy sites. With low capital requirements and a favourable gold price environment, the Hollinger Tailings Project presents significant upside potential for STLLR. Keyvan Salehi, P.Eng., MBA, President, CEO, and Director of STLLR, commented: “We believe 2025 will be a pivotal year for STLLR. With a strong balance sheet supporting our plans, we are focused on advancing key projects. At Tower, we aim to deliver an updated MRE and PEA. InnovExplo2 will oversee the completion of the MRE and G Mining Services will oversee the completion of the PEA. Both reports are progressing in parallel and will be disclosed simultaneously and under one technical report. Additionally, we will continue exploration in the Timmins area and progress environmental baseline studies to secure the necessary permits, as we advance Tower to shovel-ready status.” “We are enthusiastic about the potential of our Hollinger Tailings Project in Timmins. After months of preparation, we are now set to quantify its value. Recent updates to the Mining Act could position the project as a near-term cash flow opportunity at current gold prices, while furthering our environmental commitment to reclaiming this historical site.” “Located near existing processing facilities with available capacity, the project presents a promising opportunity for additional mill feed within the Timmins camp. In Q1 2025, we plan to conduct a tailings characterization program. Based on our findings, we will move forward with a mineral resource estimate and, if justified, a preliminary economic assessment. With minimal capital requirements, the Hollinger Tailings Project has the potential to be a game changer for STLLR Gold. Stay tuned for updates as we advance this exciting opportunity!” “Looking ahead, our long-term vision is to bring our Tower and Colomac projects to shovel-ready status, with Tower as the priority due to its proximity to existing infrastructure. Our goal is reaching a shovel-ready stage for Tower within 36 to 48 months.” 2025 Ontario Activities Updated Tower Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) and Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) in H1-2025: STLLR plans to release the Tower MRE and PEA together in H1-2025. The MRE will benefit from over 120 km of infill drilling and improved geological models. Verification of historical drilling at Garrison provides added confidence to the MRE data. The PEA will detail an updated mine plan and economics for Tower, showcasing optimized throughput and production. Exploration, Technical and Permitting Activities: STLLR plans to drill 5,000-7,000 metres at Tower to enhance mineral resource confidence. The Company will initiate a metallurgical program as well as other studies that will drive Tower towards a pre-feasibility study (“PFS“). Additionally, STLLR will continue environmental baseline studies necessary for permitting. Hollinger Tailings Project: The Hollinger Tailings Project, located in the southeast area of the city of Timmins, Ontario (see Figure 1), is where tailings from the Hollinger Mine were stored. The Hollinger Mine, which operated from 1910-1968, was at one time the world’s largest gold mine. It produced 19 million ounces of gold at an average grade of 9.9 grams per tonne.3 An estimated 50-60 million tonnes of tailings were placed at the Hollinger Tailings Project. STLLR plans to conduct a 10,000-12,000-metre characterization program of the tailings, establishing a path forward for a potential mineral resource estimate. There is a 1.5% net smelter royalty on the potential gold content of the Hollinger Tailings Project property.

These site enhancements will enable more cost-effective, environmentally-conscious drilling and permitting in the future. Long-Term Strategy STLLR management is focused on advancing the Tower and Colomac projects to shovel-ready status, recognizing their potential to create value for the Company. Given its proximity to existing infrastructure, Tower will be the near-term priority. The Company estimates the following milestones for Tower: Deliver PFS in 24 months. Complete environmental baseline work and submit Federal Environmental Assessment (“EA“) in 30 months. Deliver Feasibility Study (“FS“) in 36-48 months. Colomac’s advancement is contingent on securing additional funding, with priority given to Tower’s expenditures.

Low demand forces Malaysia’s manufacturers into steepest price cuts in decade ahead of global trade war

KUALA LUMPUR: Manufacturers in Malaysia reduced their selling prices at the strongest rate in ten years to counter subdued demand conditions, according to S&P Global Malaysia. In its latest Manufacturing PMI, the research house said the price reductions, the first since June 2023, aimed to stimulate sales as new orders remained weak both domestically and internationally. “In response to current demand conditions, manufacturing firms opted to lower their selling prices as part of attempts to stimulate sales. The reduction was the first since June 2023 and — while only modest — was the strongest seen for a decade,” said Usamah Bhatti, Economist at S&P Global Market Intelligence. Despite the price cuts, production levels continued to decline, marking the eighth consecutive month of output reductions. The S&P Global Malaysia Manufacturing PMI rose slightly from 48.6 in December to 48.7 in January, signalling a continued slowdown in the sector. Employment levels also dipped for the fourth straight month as manufacturers adjusted to lower production needs. Purchasing activity saw a sharper decline in January, with firms cutting back on stock holdings amid weaker business conditions. Input cost inflation increased slightly, though it remained lower than the 2024 average, with supply chain disruptions adding pressure. Despite ongoing challenges, manufacturers expressed cautious optimism for 2025, hoping for an eventual recovery in demand. The report comes ahead of a sudden trade war triggered by US President Donald Trump who slapped tariffs on Canada, China, and Mexico, prompting retaliatory measures from the three countries.-MALAY MAIL

Samsung Chairman Jay Y. Lee Acquitted in Fraud and Stock Manipulation Case

SEOUL: Samsung Electronics Chairman Jay Y. Lee was acquitted today by a Seoul appeals court of accounting fraud and stock manipulation charges related to a controversial 2015 merger, which prosecutors alleged was aimed at solidifying his control over the tech giant. The case has underscored persistent legal challenges for Lee, who continues to face scrutiny over his leadership of Samsung Electronics, the world’s leading memory chip and smartphone maker, amid intensifying competition and sluggish stock performance. A lower court had previously cleared Lee of all charges, including allegations of stock price manipulation and accounting fraud tied to the US$8 billion merger between Samsung C&T and Cheil Industries. Prosecutors later appealed to the Seoul High Court, seeking a five-year prison sentence, citing an August ruling that found Samsung BioLogics—an affiliate of Cheil Industries—had inflated its assets to justify the merger. Lee has consistently denied any wrongdoing, stating in court last November, “I never intended to deceive or damage investors for personal gain.” It remains uncertain whether prosecutors will appeal the decision to the Supreme Court. — Reuters

Oil Over Environment? Petronas Unveils Aggressive Expansion Plans

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s state-owned energy giant, Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas), plans to enhance the country’s oil and gas production through strategic projects over the next three years, according to its latest activity outlook report. Petronas aims to sustain and grow Malaysia’s output to 2 million barrels of oil equivalent (mmboe) per day between 2025 and 2027, up from 1.7 mmboe in 2024. This increase will be driven by major initiatives, including the Kasawari gas development off the coast of Sarawak and the redevelopment of key oil and gas fields such as Gumusut-Kakap, Bekok, Tabu, and Seligi. The report, published on Tuesday, also highlights plans to drill approximately 15 exploration wells annually over the next two years, with a focus on both shallow-water and deepwater wells. Petronas maintains a stable outlook for upstream development projects, projecting 69 development wells in 2025, up from 56 in 2024. Over the next three years, the company plans to drill more than 400 wells and execute 39 upstream projects. These initiatives include constructing three offshore central processing platforms, developing three onshore facilities, and fabricating and installing approximately 900 kilometers (559 miles) of pipelines.
