Goldsky Resources Closes Acquisition of Elemental Royalty's Nordic Business Unit

VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 19, 2026 /CNW/ - Goldsky Resources Corp (TSXV: GSKR) (FNSE: GSKRSDB) (OTCQX: GSKRF) (FRA: HEG0) ("Goldsky Resources" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the closing of its previously announced acquisition of the Nordic business unit ("NBU Acquisition") of Elemental Royalty Corporation (previously operating as EMX Royalty Corporation ("Elemental")), a long-standing technical partner on several of Goldsky's key assets.

The NBU Acquisition sees Goldsky acquiring Elemental's regional infrastructure in northern Sweden (including an exploration camp), an extensive inventory of exploration equipment and Elemental's seasoned Nordic technical team.

Pursuant to the terms of the NBU Acquisition agreement dated May 30, 2025 (the "Agreement"), the Company is making staged payments totaling 3,247,000 SEK (~US$360,000), with each payment paid half in cash and half in Goldsky common shares ("Shares"), as follows:

• 1,052,000 SEK has now been paid following TSXV approval, satisfied by the issuance of 20,138 Shares (at a deemed price per Share of C$3.98) and a payment of SEK 526,000 (~US$58,825) in cash;
• 1,195,000 SEK (~US$132,200) will be paid on the first anniversary of closing; and
• 1,000,000 SEK (~US$110,600) will be paid on the second anniversary of closing.

The deemed issue price of the Shares issued pursuant to the Agreement shall be the greater of: (i) C$1.26; and (ii) the volume weighted average price of the Shares on the TSXV over the 10 consecutive trading days preceding their date of issue.

Elemental will retain a 1% net smelter return (NSR) royalty on any new projects organically generated (i.e. newly staked) by the Company in Sweden and Finland within five years of the effective date of the Agreement.

For purposes of the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange, at the the time the NBU Acquisition was entered into, Goldksy (then First Nordic Metals Corp.) and Elemental were considered non-arms' length parties as they had one director in common. Since Elemental's acquisition of EMX Royalty Corporation, the parties no longer have any directors in common and are arm's length. All Shares issued in connection with the NBU Acquisition will be subject to a statutory four month and one day hold in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws from their respective date of issue. There were no finder's fees paid in connection with the NBU Acquisition.
