[{"type":"text","content":" Vancouver, British Columbia and Melbourne, Australia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 22, 2026) - Southern Cross Gold Consolidated Ltd (TSX: SXGC) (ASX: SX2) (OTCQX: SXGCF) (FSE: MV3) (\"SXGC\", \"SX2\" or the \"Company\") announces results from six drill holes from the Golden Dyke prospect from the 100%-owned Sunday Creek Gold-Antimony Project in Victoria (Figures 1 to 5). Best results included 1.6 m @ 59.8 g/t AuEq (55.3 g/t Au, 1.9% Sb) from 313.8 m in drill hole SDDSC203. The true thickness of the mineralized intervals is interpreted to be approximately 50% to 80% of the sampled thickness for all reported holes. Four High Level Takeaways: Golden Dyke keeps delivering exceptional grades Multiple holes hit individual samples over 100 g/t gold, with SDDSC203's standout 1.6 m @ 55.3 g/t gold being the best intercept. The deposit is growing in multiple directions SDDSC197 pushed Golden Dyke's western boundary 30 m to 50 m beyond the current exploration target outline, while SDDSC193 extended mineralization to the east and deeper. With each drill program, Golden Dyke gets bigger and remains open for further expansion. Antimony adds significant value to high-grade zones The best intercepts combine exceptional gold grades with substantial antimony credits - SDDSC210 intersected three samples over 10% antimony, with one reaching 227 g/t gold plus 10.6% antimony. This dual-metal profile makes Sunday Creek unique in the current critical minerals landscape. Infill drilling confirms the system is predictable SDDSC203 and SDDSC210 were drilled as infill holes between existing intercepts and both delivered multiple high-grade zones exactly where expected. This consistency gives confidence that Golden Dyke's grade and continuity will support future mining studies. One additional drill rig has been added to Sunday Creek, with eleven rigs now operational on the project. Michael Hudson, President & CEO, states: \"These results reinforce that Golden Dyke holds the same grade tenor as the adjacent Rising Sun deposit. When you drill 1.6 m at 59.8 g/t gold equivalent, with multiple individual samples exceeding 100 g/t gold and 10% antimony, you're looking at extremely high-grade mineralization that's rare in today's mining landscape. \"What excites us the most is the predictability we're seeing in our infill program.
