[{"type":"text","content":"Southern Cross Gold Announces Filing of Final Base Shelf ProspectusVancouver, British Columbia and Melbourne, Australia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 8, 2026) - Southern Cross Gold Consolidated Ltd (TSX: SXGC) (ASX: SX2) (OTCQX: SXGCF) (FSE: MV3) (\"SXGC\", \"SX2\" or the \"Company\") announces that the Company has filed and has obtained a receipt for a (final) short form base shelf prospectus (the \"Shelf Prospectus\"). The Shelf Prospectus was filed with the securities regulatory authorities in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario and enables the Company to offer for sale and issue, up to C$700 million of common shares, warrants, debt securities, subscription receipts and units or any combination thereof, from time to time over a period of 25 months.

The filing of the Shelf Prospectus should not be interpreted as an indication of an imminent capital raising. Rather, it reflects sound financial management practice - ensuring that the Company has the regulatory infrastructure in place to act efficiently if and when market conditions and project milestones make it appropriate to do so. As SXGC advances through a capital-intensive phase of predevelopment at Sunday Creek, the ability to access capital markets in a timely and cost-effective manner is an important element of the Company's financing strategy.
