[{"type":"text","content":"Southern Cross Gold Extends Golden Dyke 200 Metres West 16 Vein Sets - Includes 1.8 m @ 79.9 g/t GoldVancouver, British Columbia and Melbourne, Australia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 18, 2026) - Southern Cross Gold Consolidated Ltd (TSX: SXGC) (ASX: SX2) (OTCQX: SXGCF) (FSE: MV3)  (\"SXGC\", \"SX2\" or the \"Company\") announces results from four drillholes from the 100%-owned Sunday Creek Gold-Antimony Project in Victoria (Figures 1 to 6). Best results included 1.8 m @ 80.5 g/t AuEq (79.9 g/t Au, 0.2% Sb) in drillhole SDDSC208.The true thickness of the mineralized intervals is interpreted to be approximately 55% to 70% of the sampled thickness for other reported holes.Three High Level Takeaways:Discovery Still Growing — Golden Dyke Doubles in Size. SDDSC208 extends Golden Dyke 200 m west towards Christina, intersecting 16 vein sets including 10 previously unrecognized vein sets outside the current exploration target. This immediately doubles the Golden Dyke prospective area and confirms a more connected mineralized system than previously interpreted. With only 650 m of the 1,550 m known strike intensively drill tested, Sunday Creek remains in the early stages of defining its full scale. High-Grade Profile Reinforced. SDDSC208 returned 1.8 m @ 80.5 g/t AuEq (79.9 g/t Au, 0.2% Sb) from 649.4 m, with four individual assays exceeding 100 g/t Au, including 309 g/t Au over 0.47 m. Sunday Creek now hosts 79 composite intersections exceeding 100 g/t Au — a grade profile that positions the project among the highest-grade gold drill discoveries globally. Structural Architecture Further Defined. SDDSC180, SDDSC191 and SDDSC191W1 intersected corridors of dyke and altered sediment in the hanging wall, providing critical data on structural controls and alteration footprints. These holes improve the geological framework and targeting vectors for follow-up drilling across the Golden Dyke-Christina corridor.Figure 1: Visible gold in SDDSC208 showing quartz + carbonate + sulphosalts + stibnite, in 0.47 m downhole shear vein from 650.77 m (309 g/t Au & 0.03 % Sb) within a larger interval of 1.8 m @ 80.5 g/t AuEq (79.9 g/t Au, 0.2% Sb) from 649.4 m.
