## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1** 

**FinTrade Sherpa, INC. - Share Issuance and Software Development Update**

**Cypress, Texas (Jan 23, 2026)** – FinTrade Sherpa, INC (formerly Lode-Star Mining, Inc. (OTCID:FTSP) is pleased to announce completion of the issuance of 227,000,000 shares as stated in the Company's 8-K which was filed on February 14, 2025 and as stated in the Company's 8-K filed Jan 23, 2026.

The Company also announces its first milestone event: Phase 1, which was a two-part software development task, has been mostly completed and the Company is now preparing to move into international beta testing.

The first and most important task completed is the Company's AI driven specific market research reports with predictive analytics for which we have a sample for review shortly at our website.

The second part is the critical customer user interface dashboard for managing tailored report generating parameters along with its integrated membership, subscription and accounting nodes. Remaining work is the merger of this second part of software into the Company's on-going accounting and reporting systems.

Company President Mark Walmesley says, "It's good to have this two-part milestone, pretty much, completed. This exercise was, by far, the heaviest lifting to get us to the point of moving forward with implementing our business plan. Along with introducing our AI driven report generating system to perspective clients, integrating the new software into the current Company structure is the next short-term task. Once completed, we look forward to publishing a more integrated website. The next major task or milestone is Beta testing our build."
