STOCKWORKS GOLD : ANNOUNCES COMMENCEMENT OF EXPLORATION AT THE PIRENOPOLIS GOLD PROJECT, BRAZIL

About this update from Stockworks Gold Inc.

Vancouver, British Columbia - (October 16, 2025) - Stockworks Gold Inc. (TSXV: STW) (" Stockworks " or the " Company ") is pleased to announce it has commenced its inaugural exploration program on the 100% owned Pirenópolis gold project located in the mining-friendly state of Goias, Brazil. Stockworks has commissioned a high-resolution, low level drone airborne magnetics (mag) survey. This detailed survey will replace the existing high-level, wide line spaced regional government airborne data and provide detailed resolution which will be instrumental in moving the project forward. The interpreted results of the drone mag survey will be combined with the assay results of the upcoming geochemical survey program which will include stream, soil and rock sampling. The company anticipates using the combined geodata set to determine areas on the property for detailed evaluation and potential drilling. The Pirenópolis gold project is an early-stage project encompassing two parallel stream catchments containing highly anomalous gold in sediment samples. In addition to highly anomalous stream sediment BLEG (bulk leach extractable gold) samples assaying 4.7 parts per million (ppm) gold and 3.9 ppm gold, a quartz vein float boulder sampled in the stream bed load assayed 0.8 gram per tonne gold. Furthermore, government airborne geophysics shows an interpreted large-scale regional magnetic structural break cutting across the property up stream from the anomalous samples. The region experienced a placer gold rush in the 1700 and 1800's however the hard-rock sources of the surrounding rivers' alluvial gold have never been located. The property occurs in the same geological belt as the Paracatu gold mine, also located in Brazil, which is Kinross Gold Corp.'s largest operation globally. The Pirenópolis gold project is interpreted as an orogenic gold target with features similar to Paracatu, such as being in the same geological rocks and having regional tectonic structures transecting the property as observed in airborne geophysics. Stockworks management along side with its in-country consulting team recently visited the property. Expectations were exceeded on all fronts. The property area is cattle grazing farmland with nearby quartzite quarries and in excellent infrastructure within the power grid and is accessible by light truck or SUV (sport utility vehicle) by a vast series of roads. Goias, being the third-largest mining state in Brazil, has a number of operating gold mines such as Serra Grande by Anglo Ashanti, Chapada (copper/gold) by Lundin Mining and Pilar Gold's PGDM complex, which consists of four mines. The company sees this opportunity as an opportunistic low-cost entry point to the country of Brazil, a nation of vast mineral wealth. Nasim Tyab, CEO, comments: "Launching the airborne magnetics and geochemical programs at Pirenópolis allows us to integrate high-resolution geodata with promising early sampling results. This next phase is about unlocking the property's geological potential through modern exploration methods in an area that had a district scale gold rush, between the mid 1700's and late 1800's, before mechanized mining methods were introduced. We find this exciting as there has not yet been an economic bedrock source identified for the significant placer gold that propelled the gold rush."
