Lodestar Metals Corp. has adopted semi-annual financial reporting (SAR). This news release is being filed pursuant to British Columbia Securities Commission Coordinated Blanket Order 51-933, Exemptions to Permit Semi-Annual Reporting for Certain Venture Issuers.

CBO 51-933 allows eligible venture issuers to voluntarily move from a quarterly to a semi-annual financial reporting framework. Lodestar's fiscal year ends on Dec. 31. Under the provisions of CBO 51-933, the company will be exempt from the requirements to file Q1 (first quarter) and Q3 (third quarter) financial statements, and the associated management's discussion and analysis (MD&A), for so long as it continues to meet eligibility criteria under CBO 51-933.

Accordingly, the company will not be filing its interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and the associated MD&A. The company will also not be required to file any interim financial statements and the associated MD&A for any subsequent quarters ended March 31 and Sept. 30 in each financial year.
