About Maple Gold

Maple Gold Mines Ltd. is a Canadian advanced exploration company in a 50/50 joint venture with Agnico Eagle Mines Limited to jointly advance the district-scale Douay and Joutel gold projects located in Quebec’s prolific Abitibi Greenstone Gold Belt. The projects benefit from exceptional infrastructure access and boast ~400 km2 of highly prospective ground including an established gold resource at Douay (SLR 2022) that holds significant expansion potential as well as the past-producing Eagle, Telbel and Eagle West mines at Joutel. In addition, the Company holds an exclusive option to acquire 100% of the Eagle Mine Property.

The district-scale property package also hosts a significant number of regional exploration targets along a 55 km strike length of the Casa Berardi Deformation Zone that have yet to be tested through drilling, making the project ripe for new gold and polymetallic discoveries. The Company is well capitalized and is currently focused on carrying out exploration and drill programs to grow resources and make new discoveries to establish an exciting new gold district in the heart of the Abitibi.

Release – Aurania Completes Renewal of Select Concessions in Peru


Aurania Completes Renewal of Select Concessions in Peru

Toronto, Ontario, June 27, 2022 – Aurania Resources Ltd. (TSXV: ARU) (OTCQB: AUIAF) (Frankfurt: 20Q) (“Aurania” or the “Company”) announces that it has completed the process of renewing certain annual mineral concession applications in Peru.  The concessions selected are part of the blocks with higher geological potential, where the application process has been completed and most of the concessions granted.  Minor field work is contemplated for these concessions in the coming months as a precursor to generating the initial technical report to support further work and/or a possible corporate transaction.

In total, 130 concessions were renewed covering an area of 128,700 hectares. Thirty of these concessions did not require payment in 2022 and the total cost for the other 100 concessions was US$296,000. 

The Company did not renew a total of 145 concessions, most of which still remain in the Peruvian application process, thereby focusing its resources on those concessions that can be advanced and/or transacted upon with clear ownership confirmation.  Although the Company believes that many of these concessions remain prospective, management determined that the additional annual costs and the continuing uncertainty of when the remaining concessions would be granted, were not appropriate for a non-core asset.

The renewed concessions noted above, represent the majority of those that had been previously granted to the Company over the last two years (see press release dated May 22, 2020).  In January 2020, the Company had applied for 419 mineral concessions covering 413,200 Hectares (“Ha”) in northern Peru based on a potential opportunity for additional copper and gold exploration as a result of the possible extension of a mineral belt from Aurania’s project in Ecuador (see press release dated Jan 17, 2020). 

In connection with the renewal of the Peruvian concessions, Dr. Keith Barron (the “Lender”) completed a loan of C$1,000,000 to the Company.  The loan is unsecured, bears interest at 2% per annum and matures upon notice of twelve months and one day from the Lender.  Up to US$300,000 of the loan was allocated to making annual concession payments in Peru, the balance funding working capital and ongoing exploration activities.

Dr. Keith Barron is a related party of the Company by virtue of the fact that he is the Chairman, the President and Chief Executive Officer, a promoter and a principal shareholder of the Company, and as a result, each of the Loan constitutes a “related party transaction” for the purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company is relying upon an exemption from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements under MI 61-101 in respect of the Related Party Transactions, in reliance on Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1) of MI 61-101, respectively, as the fair market value of the Related Party Transaction, collectively, does not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101. The Company did not file a material change report related to the Loan more than 21 days before the expected closing of the Loan as required by MI 61-101, as the Company required the funds from closing on an expedited basis for sound business reasons.

The Loan and the Insider Participation were approved by the members of the board of directors of the Company who are independent for purposes of the Related Party Transactions, being all directors other than Dr. Barron. No special committee was established in connection with the Loan and the Insider Participation, and no materially contrary view or abstention was expressed or made by any director of the Company in relation thereto.

Forward-Looking Statements
This news release may contain forward-looking information that involves substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties, most of which are beyond the control of Aurania. Forward-looking statements include estimates and statements that describe Aurania’s future plans, objectives or goals, including words to the effect that Aurania or its management expects a stated condition or result to occur. Forward-looking statements may be identified by such terms as “believes”, “anticipates”, “expects”, “estimates”, “may”, “could”, “would”, “will”, or “plan”. Since forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Although these statements are based on information currently available to Aurania, Aurania provides no assurance that actual results will meet management’s expectations. Risks, uncertainties and other factors involved with forward-looking information could cause actual events, results, performance, prospects and opportunities to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information. Forward looking information in this news release includes, but is not limited to Aurania’s objectives, goals or future plans, statements, exploration results, potential mineralization, the corporation’s portfolio, treasury, management team and enhanced capital markets profile, the estimation of mineral resources, exploration, timing of the commencement of operations and estimates of market conditions. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking information include, but are not limited to, failure to identify mineral resources, failure to convert estimated mineral resources to reserves, the inability to complete a feasibility study which recommends a production decision, the preliminary nature of metallurgical test results, delays in obtaining or failures to obtain required governmental, regulatory, environmental or other project approvals, political risks, inability to fulfill the duty to accommodate indigenous peoples, uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future, changes in equity markets, inflation, changes in exchange rates, fluctuations in commodity prices, delays in the development of projects, capital and operating costs varying significantly from estimates and the other risks involved in the mineral exploration and development industry, the effects of COVID-19 on the business of the Company including but not limited to the effects of COVID-19 on the price of commodities, capital market conditions, restrictions on labour and international travel and supply chains, and those risks set out in Aurania’s public documents filed on SEDAR. Although Aurania believes that the assumptions and factors used in preparing the forward-looking information in this news release are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on such information, which only applies as of the date of this news release, and no assurance can be given that such events will occur in the disclosed time frames or at all. Aurania disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, other than as required by law.

Release – Chakana Closes Second Tranche Of Private Placement And Provides Update



Chakana Closes Second Tranche Of Private Placement And Provides Update

Research, News, and Market Data on Chakana Copper

Vancouver, B.C., June 22, 2022
– Chakana Copper Corp. (TSX-V: PERU; OTCQB: CHKKF; FWB: 1ZX) 
(the Company or Chakana”) is pleased to announce that it has completed a second and final tranche of its previously announced private placement (the “Private
Placement
”) for 10,470,451 units of the Company (“Units”) at a price of C$0.11 per Unit for gross proceeds of C$1,151,749.  Combined with the first tranche that closed in May (see news release dated May 24, 2022), the financing resulted in total gross proceeds of $6,241,353.

Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a “Share”) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”).  Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional Share at a price of $0.20 per Share for a period of two years from closing of the Private Placement. The Company may accelerate the expiry of the Warrants in the event that for any ten consecutive trading days the closing price of the Shares is greater than $0.30.

David Kelley, President and CEO commented, “We are excited to be fully financed as we execute an aggressive exploration drilling campaign that began June 15, 2022. This is a bold step-out exploration program applying what we have learned in the last 4 years and utilizing the expertise and support from the Gold Fields exploration team. We have updated our target ranking criteria to include the potential to discover larger tonnage deposits. In addition to high-grade mineralization hosted in tourmaline breccia pipes, we will also be testing targets related to the potential coalescence of breccia pipes (mega-breccias), epithermal mineralization in zones of pervasive argillic alteration, and mineralization related to a rhyodacite dome. We believe these mineralization styles are all part of the same Soledad mineral system that occupies a 12 km2 footprint.”

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Private Placement for exploration and development of the Company’s high-grade copper-gold-silver discovery at the Soledad Project, located in the Ancash region of Peru, and for ESG programs, general working capital and administrative purposes. On January 11, 2022, the Company announced aninitial inferred resource hosting
191,000 ounces of gold, 11.7 million ounces of silver, and 130 million pounds
of copper in seven tourmaline breccia pipes.

Chakana paid aggregate finder’s fees of C$56,511 and issued 513,736 finder’s warrants (the “Finder’s
Warrants
”) in connection with the second tranche of the Private Placement.  Each Finder’s Warrant is exercisable to purchase one Share at a price of $0.20 per Share for a period of two years from closing of the Private Placement.

All securities issued under the Private Placement are subject to a four-month hold period expiring on October 22, 2022 in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws, in addition to such other restrictions as may apply under applicable securities laws in jurisdictions outside of Canada. Final closing of the Private Placement is subject to all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The common shares have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy such securities in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or sale would be unlawful.

Corporate
Update

Pursuant to the extension agreement and revised payment terms for the Company’s purchase option agreement with Condor Resources, the Company has elected to proceed with the second option which requires cash and share payments to be made over a three-year period, as described in more detail in the Company’s news release dated April 18, 2022. Accordingly, the Company will pay Condor US$800,000 and issue 1,379,310 shares prior to June 23, 2022.

Exploration
Update

The company initiated a step-out exploration drilling campaign on June 15, 2022 to test thirteen new targets not previously drilled on the north side of the project. The campaign is initially planned with one drill rig for approximately 3,000m of core drilling with one or two holes in each target. Once these targets have been drilled, a decision will be made regarding both additional target testing and follow-up drilling. These thirteen targets were selected from a total of 154 targets identified on the project that were prioritized during an in-house technical workshop incorporating recently acquired Offset IP survey results. The principal target areas for this round of drilling on the north side of the project are 1) Cima Blanca (in-progress), 2) Bx 4 cluster, 3) Faro, 4) Western Breccias, 5) Paloma Trend, and 6) Paloma-Huancarama megabreccia target (Figure 1). Numerous additional high priority targets exist on the south side of the project that will be drill tested once a drill permit is awarded for this area.

Direct lithium extraction working well. Cypress announced favorable results from the direct lithium extraction (DLE) portion of its pilot plant in Nevada. Lithium extraction begins in the pilot plant with acid leaching a slurry of lithium-bearing claystone. Recoveries in the pilot plant are meeting expectations with lithium extraction from claystone in the 80% to 85% range. The lithium solution from leaching undergoes several steps before entering the DLE process. Within the DLE portion of the pilot plant, assays received from samples collected during continuous operating cycles in March, April, and May 2022 revealed an average lithium recovery of 99.5%, along with over 99% rejection of major impurities. In our view, these results affirm the commercial viability of extracting lithium from Nevada claystone.

Technology license acquired. The direct lithium extraction process is one function of the pilot plant using a proprietary process and equipment acquired from Chemionex, Inc. With the release of one million Cypress shares held in escrow to Chemionex, Cypress has now acquired full ownership of the equipment and a royalty-free license in perpetuity to use the technology at its pilot plant and at the company’s Clayton Valley lithium project….

Allegiant Gold (AUXXF) – Core Drilling Begins in the High-Grade Zone

Wednesday, June 22, 2022

Allegiant Gold (AUXXF)
Core Drilling Begins in the High-Grade Zone

Allegiant owns 100% of 10 highly-prospective gold projects in the United States, seven of which are located in the mining-friendly jurisdiction of Nevada. Three of Allegiant’s projects are farmed-out, providing for cost reductions and cash-flow. Allegiant’s flagship, district-scale Eastside project hosts a large and expanding gold resource and is located in an area of excellent infrastructure. Preliminary metallurgical testing indicates that both oxide and sulphide gold mineralization at Eastside is amenable to heap leaching.

Mark Reichman, Senior Research Analyst, Natural Resources, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

Core diamond drill program begins. Allegiant Gold commenced a diamond core drilling program at Eastside and expects to drill 7 to 9 diamond core holes with an average depth of 600 meters. The hole locations and design were jointly selected by Allegiant and the exploration team at Kinross. The core holes will be in the high-grade zone discovered during the 2021 drill program within the original pit zone.

Assessing Eastside’s high-grade potential. Recall that in May 2021, results from Allegiant’s nine-hole drill program returned strong gold intercepts for Holes 239, 243, 244, and 245. With the recent investment by Kinross Gold Corporation (NYSE: KGC, TSX: K), along with its technical advisory support, deeper core drilling will help to better assess Eastside’s high-grade potential….

Release – Allegiant Commences Core Drilling Program at Eastside



Allegiant Commences Core Drilling Program at Eastside

Research, News, and Market Data on Allegiant Gold

Reno, Nevada /June 21, 2022 – Allegiant Gold Ltd. (“Allegiant”
or the “Company”) (AUAU: TSX-V) (AUXXF: OTCQX) 
is pleased to announce the commencement of our diamond core drilling program (“Core”) at Eastside which will consist of 4,000+ metres.  In addition, the Company has recently completed the previously announced 6,700 metre reverse-circulation (“RC”) drilling program at Eastside.

Commencement of Diamond Core Drill Program
Allegiant expects to drill 7-9 diamond core holes in this program with an average depth of 600 metres for a total of 4,000-5,000 metres. The hole locations and design were jointly selected together with the exploration team at Kinross.  The Core holes will be located in the High Grade Zone (“HGZ”) discovered during 2021 drill program completed within the Original Pit Zone (“OPZ”) at Eastside that yielded the following results:
 

  • Hole 243 included 2.55 g/t Au over 147.8 metres (3.17 g/t
    Au over 117.3m) 
     
  • Hole 239 included 111.3m of 1.45 g/t Au including 3.1
    metres of 39 g/t  Au
     at the bottom of the hole.
  • Hole 244 included 76 metres of mineralization with best intercept being 6.1m
    of 1.48 g/t Au

Hole 245 included 15.2 metres of 3.4 g/t Au from relatively shallow depths (177m)

Completion of RC Program at Eastside
In June 2022, Allegiant completed a 32-hole, 6,703 metre drill program designed to test new exploration targets at Eastside focusing on the East Pediment (21 holes) and the West Anomaly (11 holes).  The targets lie to the east and west of the OPZ and were based on geophysical and geochemical anomalies.  Drilling was conducted by Boart Longyear using a Foremost MPD 1500, track-mounted rig.  Given the current high demand for assays in the Western U.S., the Company is still awaiting the results from this program, but they will be released upon receipt and evaluation.

Peter Gianulis, CEO of Allegiant Gold, commented: “We are excited to have started our much-anticipated diamond core drilling to follow up on our successful drill program last year that led to the discovery of the HGZ.  We also look forward to the results of our recently completed RC drill program and have tentatively scheduled the return of our RC rig for October 2022 in order to continue drilling additional targets based on assays.  Together with the Core program, we would expect to be drilling for the remainder of this year.”

Cypress Development Announces Positive Direct Lithium Extraction Results

Research, News, and Market Data on Cypress Development

June 21, 2022 –
Vancouver, Canada – Cypress Development Corp. 
(TSXV: CYP) (OTCQX: 
CYDVF) (Frankfurt: C1Z1) ( “Cypress” or the Company”) is pleased to announce positive results from the Direct Lithium Extraction (“DLE”) portion of its Lithium Extraction Facility (“Pilot Plant”) in Amargosa Valley, Nevada. Assays received from samples collected during continuous operating cycles in March, April, and May, 2022, revealed an average lithium recovery of 99.5% within the DLE portion of the Pilot Plant. These high lithium recoveries were accompanied with high levels of impurity rejection.

“We are very pleased with the DLE results from the Pilot Plant” said Bill Willoughby, Cypress President, and CEO. “Thanks to Chemionex, vendors of the DLE process, and the work of our team, the results are consistent over time and sufficient to give Cypress confidence in this part of our overall process. The information gained from the testing along with the license to the technology are important steps for Cypress and the ongoing Feasibility Study.”

The DLE area is one part in the Pilot Plant and consists of a proprietary process and equipment acquired from Chemionex, Inc. Overall, lithium extraction begins in the Pilot Plant with acid leaching a slurry of lithium-bearing claystone. The lithium solution obtained from leaching then passes through several steps before entering the DLE process. In continuous 24-hour-per-day tests from the end of March through mid-May 2022, lithium recoveries in the DLE portion were consistently above 99%. These high lithium recoveries were observed in 76 sets of feed and discharge samples. The samples were collected at 6-hour intervals over the operating periods and were assayed at ALS Global for lithium and other elements. Rejection of major cations, calcium and magnesium, during the period was also above 99%.

Based on these results, Cypress’ Board of Directors has authorized the release of one million Cypress shares being held in escrow to Chemionex, thereby satisfying the terms of its July 5, 2021, Share Purchase and License Agreement. With the completion of the purchase agreement, Cypress acquires full ownership of the equipment and a royalty-free license in perpetuity to use the Chemionex technology at its Pilot Plant and at the Company’s Clayton Valley Lithium Project. The shares released are subject to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Bunker Hill Announces $15 Million Convertible Debt Financing

Bunker Hill to Host Live Interactive 6ix Summit on Wednesday, June 22 @ 2:00pm ET / 11:00am PT

TORONTO, June 20, 2022 – Bunker Hill Mining Corp. (the “Company”) (CSE: BNKR; OTCQB: BHLL) is pleased to announce the execution and closing of a new $15 million convertible debenture financing (the “Series 2 Convertible Debentures”) with Sprott Private Resources Streaming & Royalty Corp. (“SRSR” or “Sprott”).  All figures in this news release are in US dollars unless otherwise stated.

Sam Ash, CEO, stated “We are very pleased to announce this new $15 million financing, representing an increase in our project finance package with Sprott to $66 million.  Together with our recent equity raise, this materially improves our working capital position, enables us to meet our financial assurance obligations with the EPA, and funds several key workstreams over the coming months including completion of the underground decline, demobilization of the Pend Oreille mill, and further engineering optimization in preparation for the mine restart.”

Investors are invited to register for the live interactive 6ix Summit at: 

CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE
FINANCING

The Series 2 Convertible Debentures bear interest at an annual rate of 10.5%, payable in cash or shares at the Company’s option, and mature on March 31, 2025.  Repayments of $2 million shall be made at the end of each calendar quarter, starting on 30 June 2024, with the remaining $9 million due on March 31, 2025.  The Series 2 Convertible Debentures are convertible into shares of the Company at a share price of CAD 0.29 per share until the maturity date.  The Company may elect to re-pay the Convertible Debenture early; if SRSR elects not to exercise its conversion option at such time, a minimum of 12 months of interest would apply.  The Series 2 Convertible Debentures will be secured by the same security package that has been put in place to secure the $8 million Royalty Convertible Debenture and the aggregate $6 million Convertible Debentures (the “Series 1 Convertible Debentures”) that closed in January 2022.

The parties have also agreed to a number of changes to the previously announced project finance package of up to $51 million (of which $14 million has been advanced to date), consisting of the Royalty Convertible Debenture, Series 1 Convertible Debentures, and the Stream.  Firstly, the maturity dates of the Royalty Convertible Debenture and Series 1 Convertible Debentures have been extended to March 31, 2025 (previously July 7, 2023).  As previously envisaged, the Royalty Convertible Debenture will convert to a 1.85% life of mine royalty or be repaid when the Stream is advanced.  However, in the event of conversion, the Company will enter into a Royalty Put Option entitling the royalty holder to resell the royalty to the Company for $8 million upon default under the Series 1 Convertible Debentures or Series 2 Convertible Debentures until such time that the Series 1 Convertible Debentures and Series 2 Convertible Debentures are paid in full.  The Series 1 Convertible Debentures will remain outstanding until March 31, 2025, regardless of whether the Stream is advanced, unless the Company elects to exercise its option of early repayment.  Lastly, the minimum quantity of metal delivered under the Stream, if advanced, will increase by 10% relative to amounts announced in the news release of December 20, 2021.

In light of the Series 2 Convertible Debenture financing, the previously permitted additional senior secured indebtedness of up to $15 million for project finance has been removed.  However, the Company and Sprott have agreed that the Company is permitted to sell an additional $5 million of the Series 2 Convertible Debentures to other investors until August 1, 2022.

The net proceeds of the financing will be primarily used to satisfy the Company’s financial assurance obligations with the US Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and the advancement of mine restart activities, including the completion of the underground decline, demobilization of the Pend Oreille mill, and advancement of EPCM activities in anticipation of mill construction in the fourth quarter of 2022.

NEXT STEPS

Additional optimization opportunities have been identified as technical work on the Prefeasibility Study (“PFS”) has advanced.  In order to incorporate these into the PFS, technical work is continuing and the PFS is now expected to be completed later in the third quarter of 2022.  The advancement of the Stream is also expected to take place at approximately that time.  While this additional technical work is in progress, development drifting will continue with an expected breakthrough into the internal ramp between the 6 and 8 levels to occur in September 2022.  Relocation of the Pend Oreille Mill will continue throughout the summer with a key milestone being the disassembly and transport of the primary ball mills in August.

RELATED PARTY
TRANSACTIONS

The financing transactions described in this press release (the “Transactions”) constitute related party transactions pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special
Transactions
(“MI 61-101”).  In consideration of the financial circumstances of the Company and a determination by the directors, all of whom are considered independent as determined pursuant to Part 7 of MI 61-101, the Company intends to rely upon the “financial hardship” exemptions from the requirements to obtain a formal valuation and minority shareholder approval in Sections 5.5(g) and 5.7(e) of MI 61-101 respectively.  The Company will also file a material change report on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).  The material change report will be filed less than 21 days prior to the closing of the Transactions due to the Company’s immediate need for financing.

to progress detailed engineering of the Bunker Hill Mine; the Company’s
ability to complete the underground decline, the demobilization of the Pend
Oreille mill, and further engineering optimization in preparation for the
mine restart; the Company’s ability to restart production at the Bunker Hill
Mine; and the completion of a pre-feasibility study and the timing thereof.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such
forward-looking information include, but are not limited to: the ability to
predict and counteract the effects of COVID-19 on the business of the
Company, including but not limited to the effects of COVID-19 on the price of
commodities, capital market conditions, restriction on labour and
international travel and supply chains; failure to identify mineral
resources; failure to convert estimated mineral resources to reserves; the
inability to complete a feasibility study which recommends a production
decision; the preliminary nature of metallurgical test results; the Company’s
ability to restart and develop the Bunker Hill Mine and the risks of not
basing a production decision on a feasibility study of mineral reserves
demonstrating economic and technical viability, resulting in increased
uncertainty due to multiple technical and economic risks of failure which are
associated with this production decision including, among others, areas that
are analyzed in more detail in a feasibility study, such as applying economic
analysis to resources and reserves, more detailed metallurgy and a number of
specialized studies in areas such as mining and recovery methods, market
analysis, and environmental and community impacts and, as a result, there may
be an increased uncertainty of achieving any particular level of recovery of
minerals or the cost of such recovery, including increased risks associated
with developing a commercially mineable deposit with no guarantee that
production will begin as anticipated or at all or that anticipated production
costs will be achieved; failure to commence production would have a material
adverse impact on the Company’s ability to generate revenue and cash flow to
fund operations; failure to achieve the anticipated production costs would
have a material adverse impact on the Company’s cash flow and future
profitability; delays in obtaining or failures to obtain required
governmental, environmental or other project approvals; political risks;
changes in equity markets; uncertainties relating to the availability and
costs of financing needed in the future; the inability of the Company to
budget and manage its liquidity in light of the failure to obtain additional
financing, including the ability of the Company to complete the payments to
the U.S. EPA pursuant to the terms of the agreement to acquire the Bunker
Hill Mine; inflation; changes in exchange rates; fluctuations in commodity
prices; delays in the development of projects; capital, operating and
reclamation costs varying significantly from estimates and the other risks
involved in the mineral exploration and development industry; the cost,
timing and ability to implement ESG initiatives which may not be technically
successful or economically viable;  and those risks set out in the
Company’s public documents filed on SEDAR. Although the Company believes that
the assumptions and factors used in preparing the forward-looking information
in this news release are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on
such information, which only applies as of the date of this news release, and
no assurance can be given that such events will occur in the disclosed time
frames or at all. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update
or revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise, other than as required by law.

Outstanding Eagle Phase I drill results. Maple Gold reported assay results from the company’s Phase I drill program at its 100%-controlled Eagle Mine Property in Quebec, Canada. The Phase I program consisted of eight diamond drill holes, representing 4,462 meters of drilling, that tested potential extensions of mineralization along the past-producing Eagle-Telbel Mine Trend. A majority of Phase I drill holes contained at least one interval with greater than 1 gram of gold per tonne, with Hole EM-22-005 intersecting 4.0 grams of gold per tonne over 7.5 meters, including 6.4 grams of gold per tonne over 3.0 meters.

Phase II drilling underway. Data collected from the Phase I drilling is guiding the ~4,000 meter Phase II drilling program which is testing the Eagle-Telbel Mine Trend at greater depths. In aggregate, management expects to reach its goal of twelve drill holes, representing 8,200 meters of drilling, by the end of the quarter….
