Research News and Market Data on MGMLF

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – April 30, 2024) – Maple Gold Mines Ltd. (TSXV: MGM) (OTCQB: MGMLF) (FSE: M3G) (“Maple Gold” or the “Company“) is pleased to provide an operational update related to the advancement of the Company’s gold projects located in Québec, Canada. Consistent with the Company’s value-oriented exploration strategy, the ongoing synthesis and reinterpretation of multiple exploration datasets by the Company’s revamped technical team is nearing completion, while management continues to significantly reduce costs and preserve capital as demonstrated in the Company’s audited financial results for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company also announces that its Board of Directors has approved the issuance of annual equity incentive grants to certain employees, officers, directors and consultants.

Operational Update

Since late 2023, Maple Gold has been engaged in a systematic review and compilation of the extensive technical database on its entire ~400 km² property package that straddles the fertile Casa Berardi Break and contains an established near-surface, multi-million ounce gold mineral resource as well as a past-producing high-grade gold mine complex. This critical re-evaluation is aimed at integrating all available geological, geophysical, geochemical and drilling data to improve target generation and drive exploration results. The Company’s technical team is nearing completion of a new 3D litho-structural model based on selective core relogging within mineralized zones, updated level plans, longitudinal and cross-sections, and detailed geophysical and geochemical data analysis that will support the focused ranking and prioritization of property-wide drill targets to be tested later this year. As part of this exercise, the Company has also initiated high-resolution drone magnetic surveys in selected areas, which will be completed in the next following weeks.

“With the support of our partner and key stakeholders, we have seized this golden opportunity to reposition the Company for future success by delivering a high-quality exploration model supported by a wealth of technical data while simultaneously right-sizing our business,” stated Kiran Patankar, President and CEO of Maple Gold. “We believe as strongly as ever in the compelling discovery potential offered by our strategically located district-scale gold projects. The culmination of these efforts is well-timed amid surging gold prices and increasing investment focus on organic growth through the drill bit.”

The Company has engaged with notable geological, geophysical and geochemical specialists to assist with the ongoing interpretation of the vast amount of exploration data that has been collected by Maple Gold and others over the past 50 years. This includes current members of the Company’s Technical Committee: Dr. Gérald Riverin, Mr. Maurice Tagami, P.Eng. and Mr. Paul Harbidge. The results of the geologic reinterpretation are being finalized and will be reported shortly. Drilling is expected to recommence later this year with full details to be provided in subsequent announcements.
