Playfair Mining pauses drill program in Ireland

PLAYFAIR PROVIDES EXPLORATION UPDATE

Playfair Mining has completed one diamond drill hole of 700 metres at its Cloonacool prospect in the Ox Mountains, County Sligo, Republic of Ireland. The hole was targeted to intersect gold-bearing structures previously discovered by Playfair and Bowpark. No significant gold was encountered in this recent drill hole. Playfair and Bowpark are examining the results in detail and the drill program has been paused.

Playfair has been informed by the Exploration and Mining Division of the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment of the Republic of Ireland that a problem has been identified in the environmental screening determination of mineral exploration drilling applications. This has led to an effective moratorium on new drilling permits being issued to mineral explorers. The department is actively looking for solutions.

Playfair Mining has entered into an option agreement to acquire up to a 100-per-cent interest in Bowpark Exploration (Ireland) Ltd. Bowpark is a private company registered in Ireland and holds as its sole asset three contiguous prospecting licences over the Ox Mountains in County Sligo, Ireland.

Exploration drilling was NQ size. The core was logged and mineralized intersections were marked for sampling and assaying. The marked intervals were cut in half with a diamond saw and one-half of the core was placed in sample bags and tagged with unique sample numbers. The remaining half is securely stored at Playfair's facility near Cloonacool. Bagged core samples were transported to ALS Minerals in Loughrea, Galway, an ISO-certified assaying/geochemistry facility. Gold analysis was undertaken by fire assay and ICP-AES.

Richard Parker and Andy Bowden have carried out and overseen this approved exploration program on behalf of Playfair and Bowpark. Both are qualified persons as defined by National Instrument 43-101, and they have reviewed and approved the contents of this news release.

We seek Safe Harbor.
