Sky Gold Mobilizes to Commence Drill Program Directed at High Priority Porphyry Copper-Gold System on the Evening Star Project, Walker Lane Trend, NevadaANNOUNCES FINANCING VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / April 7, 2026 / SKY GOLD CORP. ("Sky" or the "Company") (TSX.V:SKYG)(OTC PINK:SRKZF) is excited to announce that it has retained Titan Drilling of Elko, Nevada, to commence an anticipated 2,400 metre diamond drilling program at its Evening Star copper-gold project located in the Walker Lane Trend, Nevada.Drilling is expected to commence within the coming week, with mobilization currently underway.The drilling program has been designed to test multiple high-priority targets developed through integrated geological mapping, geochemistry, and geophysical interpretation.The Company has finalized drill targets designed to test:The interpreted copper-gold core of the porphyry system at High LifePolymetallic zones associated with carbonate replacement mineralization ("CRD")Mike England, CEO of Sky Gold Corp., commented:"The drill is being mobilized to site this week, and the proposed targets are large. We are very excited to start drilling these porphyry and CRD targets."Recent fieldwork at the High Life target has identified strong alteration and gold mineralization consistent with a copper-gold porphyry system (see News Release dated March 31st, 2026), including silicification, sericite alteration, quartz veining, and localized copper mineralization. See Figure 1. These features are spatially associated with geophysical anomalies, including strong magnetic highs with coincident resistivity highs, supporting the interpretation of a robust porphyry system at depth.In addition, polymetallic mineralization is observed in the southern portion of the property, where the porphyry is in contact with the limestone host rocks, and is interpreted to represent carbonate replacement-style mineralization linked to the High Life porphyry system. See Figure 2. Historical drilling in this area returned significant copper, lead, zinc, and silver values, and recent surface sampling has confirmed the presence of gold-bearing sulphide-rich zones with strong geological characteristics typical of CRD systems. The interpreted CRD system displays a conductive high with a coincident magnetic low. See Figure 1.The upcoming drill program is designed to test both the porphyry core at de...
