Slovakia and Central Europe Are Returning to the Map of Strategic Mineral Exploration

Gold Exploration Group a.s. continues to develop its exploration activities in Slovakia and Central Europe at a time when the region is gaining renewed attention for its mineral potential and strategic importance.

Central Europe has a long geological and mining tradition. Today, this tradition is becoming relevant again, not only because of precious metals such as gold, but also because of minerals and polymetallic systems that may play an important role in Europe’s future industrial and technological security.

Slovakia in particular is increasingly discussed in the context of critical and strategic raw materials. The country has a strong geological base, historical mining districts and several areas with potential for gold, antimony and polymetallic mineralisation. This creates a clear need for modern, responsible and technically disciplined exploration.

At the European level, the Critical Raw Materials Act has created a new framework for strengthening domestic access to strategic raw materials. For countries such as Slovakia, the Czech Republic and other parts of Central Europe, this represents an opportunity to reassess historically known mineral regions through modern exploration methods, better data evaluation and cooperation with technical and investment partners.

Gold Exploration Group is focused on the systematic development of licensed exploration areas in Slovakia. Our portfolio includes projects with potential for gold, antimony and other metals, reflecting both the geological diversity of the region and the growing strategic relevance of domestic mineral resources.

Our approach is based on disciplined project evaluation, responsible geological work and long-term value creation. We believe that Central Europe has the potential to become more visible in the European raw materials landscape, provided that exploration is carried out professionally, transparently and with respect for local communities and environmental standards.

For GEG, Slovakia is not only a historical mining region. It is a future-oriented exploration platform in the heart of Europe.

Approved Drilling Campaign Programme for 2026

The drilling campaign programme represents an important step in the further professional assessment of the geological potential of the exploration area. Its objective is to obtain new geological, structural, and analytical data necessary for a more accurate evaluation of deposit conditions, mineralisation, and the further planning of exploration activities.

General Meeting

The General Meeting will be held on 18 June 2026 at 10:00 a.m. at Hotel Passage, Large 1 room, Lidická 702/23, Veveří, 602 00 Brno, Czech Republic. The invitation to the General Meeting is available here. The financial statements are available here.

PDAC 2026

We participated in PDAC 2026 in Toronto, one of the world’s largest and most important mining and mineral exploration events.

Our participation provided an excellent opportunity to meet with international mining companies, investors, technology providers, laboratories, and strategic partners. During the event, we presented our activities, discussed potential cooperation opportunities, and followed the latest trends in mineral exploration, project development, financing, and critical raw materials.

• Brehov: drilling completed, core logged and sampled; laboratory results expected in the coming days.

• Sirník: first drillhole completed; ~1/3 of the core processed, remainder by year-end.

• Kokava: old adit ~0.1 g/t Au; new adit (LiDAR) ~2.5 g/t Au → promising vertical potential.

• Kokava – reconnaissance: LiDAR-identified new zone is a collapse/talc zone, with no hydrothermal alteration.

• Solčany: 100 kg quartz sample (TUKE) ~0.5 g/t Au → prospector confirmed gold-positive continuation of the structure.

The subsidiary company Rodinia s.r.o. has joined the ARTeMIS program to support university studies for students with disabilities.

This program, part of the European scientific project Erasmus+, enables the company to actively participate in developing educational opportunities for students with special needs.

Rochovce: Another Phase of Drilling Completed

• We are pleased to announce the successful completion of another phase of drilling operations in the Rochovce area. The implementation team adhered to all technological and safety standards, and the work was completed according to schedule.

Brehov – Zemplín: Drilling Campaign Progressing According to Plan

• Drilling operations in the Brehov – Zemplín area are successfully progressing and proceeding exactly as outlined in the project plan. A team of geologists and technicians monitors developments daily, ensuring high quality in all ongoing activities.

• chemical analyses of selected samples from the 4Q/2024 drilling campaign were conducted

• The analyses confirmed:

  • The extension of polymetallic and gold (Au) mineralization in the Zemplín exploration area

  • A newly identified ore-bearing geological structure with rich gold (Au) mineralization in the Rochovce exploration area

• Brehov & Rochovce drilling campaign - over 1700 m

• ALS Global ore testing

• medium-weight laboratory sorting of Antimony - new separation method

• 3D models

• surface sampling and prospecting, pre-drilling processing of databases

• Uderina drilling campaign

• surface sampling and prospecting, pre-drilling processing of databases

• 12 exploration licenses

• PDAC

• initiation for a specific method of Antimony separation

• incorporation of subsidiary LLCs owing 5 exploration licenses

• exploration of heaps and tailings ponds after historical Antimony mining
