Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 30, 2022) - Stakeholder Gold Corporation (TSXV: SRC) ("Stakeholder" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the calculation of Scope 1,2 and 3 emissions produced across the Company's operations in Q3 of 2022.

The World Resource Institute's greenhouse gas protocol (GHG Protocol) establishes a framework for calculating Scope 1, 2 and 3 carbon emissions. The framework for classifying carbon emissions can be summarized as follows:

Stakeholder has calculated the following Scope emissions for operations during Q3 of 2022.

Scope 1

¹ Using 2.68 kg of CO₂ / litre of diesel (C₁₂H₂₃) consumed in operations
² Using 2.3 kg of CO₂ / litre of gasoline (C₈H₁₈) consumed in operations
³ Using 0.0 kg of CO₂ / litre of ethanol (C₂H₅OH) consumed in operations
⁴ Using 3.0 kg of CO₂ / kg of butane (C₄H₁₀) consumed in operations

Scope 2

* CEMIG DISTRIBUIÇÃO S.A. power generation complex (Water 98.18% - Wind 1.8% - Solar 0.02%)

Scope 3

* ENERGIAS do BRASIL S.A. power generation complex (81% - Renewable in 2021)

¹ Transportation 1 Transportation of quarry block to client purchasing station
² Processing Cutting and polishing of quarry materials at client processing sites
³ Transportation 2 Transportation of refined quarry tiles to overseas markets

The Company is also pleased to announce the successful completion of a 2022 tree planting initiative on the Company's Cormier Road Reforestation and Rewilding Project in the Botsford area of New Brunswick, Canada. The Company has successfully planted 32,089 trees in the following quantities:

• 18,900 Red Spruce

The Company estimates that the lifecycle growth of these trees will sequester 12,836 Tonnes of CO₂ from the atmosphere. With these estimates the Company is 10X carbon negative for 2022, sequestering 10X more carbon from the atmosphere than the sum of Company emissions from all sources.

"The company calculates that during Q3 of 2022 its operations released 203,154 kg (203.154 Tonnes) of CO₂ emissions from all sources compared with 274,523 kg (274.523 Tonnes) in Q2 2022," stated Christopher Berlet, CEO of Stakeholder.

"This year we have undertaken a rewilding and reforestation tree planting initiative on a property that had been clear cut in the Botsford Area of New Brunswick, Canada. Our calculations support that the lifecycle sequestration of carbon from the 32,089 native species trees which we have planted will exceed by a factor of 10 the sum of carbon emissions from all sources of our business in 2022. This would mean that the company is carbon negative for 2022 by a factor of 10X, sequestering 10 times more carbon from the atmosphere with our tree planting initiatives than the sum of carbon that is released by all sources from corporate activities."
